hello everyone
sorry to be always asking questions , but how is it worked out how many syns you should have ?
my consultant has gone for a blanket 10 accross the board regardless of what weight you are or what plan you are on.

i've been reading here and mini mims and most people seem to be allowing 15

i don't have much to lose so i think 10 is probably right for me , i am just curious really .

i've just had a huge ham mushroom and sweetcorn omelette with tinned tomatoes for breakfast . i like a fry up but can't bear to use my HEB on bread now i've discovered kellogs fibre plus bars !!

also does everyone go by the 20 calories= 1 syn rule ?

Morning All & welcome Newbies

Well done you losers - some great results there fab!!!

Well its WI for mw tonight and Im not hopeful for a loss with the ongoing saga with my tum probs & lack of bathroom routine :mad: (tho its a lot better than it was last week I have to say:o)

but ive been an absolute saint ALL week not a single fairy has crossed my doorstep (tho I have wondered if a couple of thousand have maybe camped up my bum somewhere-explaining the ahem..'problem'

Soooo with all that in mind Im praying for at least a maintain tonight ...... I would love to be rid of the gain from last week-but im not going to torture myself over it! until my new meds kick in its a bit out of my control I suppose......but it is a bit soul destroying when ive been such a good girl

OH has removed the batteries from the scales earlier in the week for exactly this reason! He said why get upset...If your being good then things will work out in the end (very funny I said heehee )

I hardly ever use my full 15 syns Im a bit of a choccy fiend-and a creature of habit so I kind of have things worked out so I use around 8.5 (kitkat&2cubes dairymilk) or 10.5(kitkat&dairymilk&1cube caramel)....I like my evening kitkat lol.

But, saying that if I do want spoon of flour to thicken something then I will use an extra syn.....Im not rigid- but it still doesnt take me near 15.

Id never heard of the 20 cal 1syn thing til someone said it on here the other day.....quite a handy little thing if you're out shopping :T

I know its perhaps not the most economical menu -BUT most of the stuff I have in -so it will be a fruit n veg top up only next week and things like the omelettes/stir-fry are great for using up odds n sods
right I will get off -have a great day everyone and keep up the great work :T

Hey Everyone,

Good work to all those that have had a loss!!

I put on 1lb in my weigh-in lastnight. I'm really not happy because I made a lot of changes last week and I really gave things a go. I changed to sweetener, I used the online syn values to check things before I ate them, I went to the gym 3 times, I cooked from scratch every day, ate more veg with my meals.....

Right now I feel a bit lost, just because I don't know what I've done wrong. I am due for my 'star week' which could explain the gain, but I was expecting a better result on the scales.

Does anyone have any advice at all about what I do for the coming week? It would be really appreciated at the moment! x:)

Awwww its a bummer when that happens hun! but straight away Id say its probably the *week thats the answer :mad:

Why not post your daily menu on here so people can pick up on any little thing you might have got wrong?? I know in the beginning my number 1 mistake was shovelling peas and sweetcorn down me on EE thinking these were superfree :eek:.....oops

keep at it.....Im sure the scales will tell a different story next week

ok have devised a food plan for today using the ones on here and my old plans from when i was doing well (about 4 weeks ago)
EE
Brek: Alpen Light (1/2 heb)
2x small ww toast and baked beans (other 1/2 heb and 2.5 for one slice)
2 cups of tea (1/2 hea semi skim)
Lunch: Pasta, tuna, quark, onion, peppers
Tinned peaches (2.5 for 100g - will prob have about 60g so 1.5 syns)
Dinner: depends on OH but will be either salad with chicken or chilli con carne (3 syns for 2 tbsp sour cream)

Maybe some laughing cow triangles to munch on in the afternoon for the other 1/2 hea or some cheese with dinner

total syns: 7.0

how does that look??? think i need some more superfree so will have veg with dinner and buy some fruit.

Morning Slimming worlders!! It's lovely and sunny here today but it's bound to rain later as I have a riding lesson.

Mrs M, I'm very impressed by your meal planning! I plan my evening meals but only have a rough idea what lunches will be. I have to say, I don't know how I ever managed to do my food shopping before I started planning my evening meals!!!

Tonight I'm having tea at OH's parents which no doubt will be naughty as usual!!! I'm saving nearly all my syns and WI isn't till net Wed so there's plenty of time to make up for it. My riding lesson will burn LOADS of cals too so that'll help get rid of it!!

Hope evryone has a good day.

lisa26_2

oooh I forgot my meal plan!! Here you go:

Brekkie - Porridge (HEA&B) and banana (I've run out of porridge now so tomorrow I'll have to have a change!)
Lunch - salad, couscous, hard boiled eggs, salad cream (2), SF jelly (0.5), yogurt, mixed berries
Tea - ????? (OH's mum cooking)
Snacks - plum, nectarine. I might have some pineapple for supper too.
