I eat weetabix a because I like them andd b because its convenient and no weighing . The only other breakfast cereal in the house is ready brek and I don't think thats a HE and I can't afford to buy any more at the moment. Last time I got to target eating just weetabix so don't know whats going wrong this time. Hey ho will keep at it.

I know what you mean Weetabix are really versatile as well as you can add so many different fruits with it

Ready brek is on the HE list but you have to have a ryvita original/dark rye/sesame with it

Vixie, would the old trick work: put the scan bran between two sheets of greaseproof paper and roll the rolling pin over it until it crumbles. Isn't that the way they crush biscuits for ch**se c*ke :EasterBun? Personally, once I realised I didn't have to incorporate the scanbran into my cereal breakfast I was much relieved, I used them up by smearing marmite on them and topping with free stuff for supper. Now I don't buy them, I use ryvita instead; or I syn the breakfast cereal and eat a bag of ryvita minis during the day

tee hee has anyone ever clicked on [more] beneath the smilies, there's tons more! :kisses:

I would never incorporate it in my cereal! I tried Ali's idea this morning (as i had fruit and fibre again) but its just the texture of it... I'm still picking bits out of my teeth (bleugh!)

Your c***se c**e idea is great but in a fit of disgust this morning i threw the scan bran away!! (i'm sure they were stale - its hard to tell!) Lol. I probably won't buy them again! I'm going to stick to Ryvita and only have the cereals where i can have a ryvita or a crackerbread with them

I honestly think that a michelin starred chef couldnt make scan bran taste nice!

Woohoo week 2 weight loss is 3lb :j i'm over the moon and feeling very focused and positive

Haven't been able to post much as computer at work expired and waited 3 days for it to be fixed! Have bought myself a little notebook and I write in everything that passes my lips and it certainly does make you think twice about eating something you know you shouldn't!

Will try to post more this week, good luck to every one for their weigh ins this week :rotfl:

Well done! Thats a great loss!!

Morning all
Well done on the losses folks

My day was going to be EE -but when I put it into the online food diary -I realised it was closer to a red day ..so I have swapped for the day -only because it means I can have 2 lots of milk and not have to "buy" any with syns :rotfl:

So my day looks like this:-

• 250ml semi skimmed (A)
• 250ml semi skimmed (A)
• lemon juice in warm water
• 2 weetabix (B)
• orange
• ham
• salad
• beetroot
• gherkins
• apple
• chilli pork stir fry(0.5)
• oil (0.5)
• carrots
• onions
• mushrooms
• sugar snaps
• baby corn
• cabbage
• broccoli
• creamy blueberry yogurt (8)

Im glad I realised about the red day -It looks like I will be having a couple of those a week, when Im doing stir fry etc as I don't use noodles etc as we seem to enjoy just veg n meat :T
I am doing a 2 week mini challenge on minimins - to do 21hrs of exercise in 14 days... so my wii will be getting some hammer! mind I have averaged more than 1hr30 a day recently -so I should be fine!
Right I will get off
Have a great day everyone.....

Don't think yesterday turned out too badly, had four slices of white (:eek:) wf egg mayo sandwiches for my party tea - I *think* the bread is about 5 syns per slice so 20 there plus the mayo so still within weekly allowance but will have minimal syns today and tomorrow just in case. Really want that pound off for my stone award on Weds!! Had some yummy strawberries at midnight and had done about 3 hours of dodgy dancing Had an amazing time and that's the main thing isn't it
Hope everyone's having a good BH albeit a wet one

Thanks for suggestions for veg with HM KFC - i am not a salad person at all - i think it tastes like grass (Yes... i have tasted grass before :rotfl:)
Grilled toms & mushrooms sound good - i have some courgettes that need to be eaten - roasted with garlic ...mmmmmmmmm yum....

I have been living off the pickled onion soup for dinners this week but have been slowly adding things to it to bulk it out! Monday i added potatoes, tuesday i added kidney beans, Wednesday i added quorn pieces and yesterday polished the rest off with cheese on toast!

hiya nessie

going to do this soup today as the original four ingredients but was wondering when you mentioned added the kidney beans, were they blitzed too or did you leave them whole in the soup after you blitzed the original soup guess dont really matter just wondered what you did, cheers

have a fun day maz

I love cold pizza too!:D Well done for being so strong willed that you manged to resist twice - that takes some doing!:T

What did you have with your Quorn? I'm always looking for new ways of using quorn!:beer:

Ali I chopped up a couple of onions and added that to the Chinese Savoury Rice, zapped some Quorn pieces in the microwave for 3 minutes (just to make sure as the Savoury Rice only takes 15mins to cook) then bunged the Quorn in with the Savoury Rice while it was cooking, it took on all the flavours, makes a huuuuge plate of food and is completely free of syns. Am so pleased I found out the Savoury Rice's are free last week - been having them for my lunches :P

I buy the Tesco value porridge oats, works out something daft like 60p. I chop a banana into it with warm milk, nummy. Must admit I've run out of ryvita so haven't been having that with it, just been rounding the oats up to 30g.

hello! at work today and i'm super hungry - feels like i haven't stopped eating!

brekkie - 2 x mullers, a banana & 3 satsumas
lunch - boiled egg roll, baked potato and beans
dinner - i'm making the pickled onion soup tonight - can't wait! and will probably have a rocket salad with it.

not a great weekend, eating wise. friday was my downfall - bottle of wine. ended up eating most of my pagan crispbreads with quark and salmon pate on saturday to eat through the wine hangover and had a handful of pringles yesterday. although was at the gym on saturday and sunday and off out to break my brand new running trainers in tonight. x
