Splitting HEs is only a good idea if you can split them exactly. It would be awkward trying to split 350mls milk and 3 Babybels - guessing can be risky especially if you're near your target.

Not even if you had say 1 babybel and 175ml of milk which would be slightly under the allowance and strictly speaking you could have 1.5 babybel? It isn't something I plan on doing often but sometimes I would like to have milk for tea/coffee but would also like some cheese to have with lunch or dinner - I suppose I could take on as a HEA and syn the other but theres no way I'd use 350ml of milk in one day.

Picked another EE day today and this has been my menu

Breakfast

Fat free natural yoghurt FREE
Blueberries FREE
Raspberries FREE
28g Dorset cereals Honey Granola 7 syns

Lunch

2 slices wholemeal bread HEB
Slice Ham FREE
Mixed salad/cucumber FREE
Banana FREE

Dinner

Jacket Potato FREE
Tuna in brine FREE
Salad (Cucumber / Tomatoes / Lettuce / Spring Onion) FREE
Heinz Light Mayo 1 tblspn 2 syns

Snacks

Fat free Natural yoghurt with raspberries and blueberries FREE
1 Babybel Light HEA

I read that you should try to have at least 5 syns a day. Can anyone confirm this for me?

It's my first weigh in tomorrow morning - am apprehensive but intrigued to see how I get on - crossing my fingers for good news

Thanks, it was fantastic. We went out on an evening whale watch and the pods of whales were all round us. It was amazing - would make a wonderful honeymoon destination????

Your Consultant is right - a 1 to 2 lb weekly loss is perfect and avoids you losing lean muscle tissue (which causes problems). Try seeing your loss over a month instead of weekly - it gives a good picture of how well you're doing.

All the best with the wedding :j

Oh wow! I bet that was the most amazing experience ever! We've booked Disneyland Paris for our honeymoon because unfortunately funds are a little low what with the wedding; but it is definitely something I would like to do in the future.

Thank you so much for the reassurance and you are right looking at it over a month would make me feel more positive about what I've achieved.:beer:

1.5 syns each or 5 for HE

My OH is joining me on my SW eating plan and I was wondering do men get any more syns than us ladies (he's not a manual worker so won't burn off millions of calories each day).

His weakness is bread... he's trotted off to work today with 2 pieces of toast (big slices) with what I can guess as a mountain of real full fat butter :eek: and a tin of beans for his breakfast then & BBQ pork salad with new potatoes for lunch. I made his lunch yesterday but breakfast was unsupervised ... hence 2 toast and butter. I am not sure now what eating plan is best to make for dinner considering what he has had today.

I'm off to find the big Tesco in Warsaw which I've been told is a 30 min metro ride away:eek: hopefully I can get some frylite and splenda and very low fat yogs.

Warsaw is a bit of a trek for some shopping :rotfl:
Thanks for the curry advice, I had lamb rogan josh with a chapatti and boiled rice and had a poppodum with the bits to start. :A
Okay, not quite as angelic as that but much better than usual, I normally have a peshwari naan to myself!

Morning all. Those laughing cow blue cheese things look delish! Has anyone tried them? I REALLY love blue cheese, can you taste it much?

Here's my plan for today:

Breakfast - porridge & banana
Lunch - leftover pasta bake from last night (with chicken and loads of veggies in it). Melon & pineapple, yogurt with mixed berries.
Tea - SW fish & chips (need to look up sysns for the breadcrumbs) with mushy peas and carrots and green beans. Will probably have a couple of sysns worth of ketchup too.
Snacks - Apple, satsumas, peach. Pickled onion soup (OH is at work till 8.45pm and then has a 45min drive so tea will be late, the soup will keep me going till then!)

I'll still have plenty of syns too so I might just treat myself to something naughty for supper. Actually, as we're having a late tea I'd probably best have some syns when I have my soup snack!

Tomorrow I'm doing a 20 mile walk!! I'm planning to make a big pasta salad to take with me and I'll have Marion's breakfast rice before I set off.

I like to know as well, I haven't tried them yet, only discovered them yesterday browsing Tesco online. I usually do my online shopping in Asda or Sainsburys but they don't seem to have them...
