    Hi - have just syned the smoothie - for 4 oz of fruit, and fat free yoghurt it comes to 2 syns - we usually share it so that's only 1 syn each - I will make sure I weigh the fruit tomorrow.
    My lovely hubbie Tim is doing this with me so that's a great help.
    BTW thanks for the dynorod soup - can't wait to try it. For once I like every ingredient!
    L xx
    NO EXCUSES - THIS YEAR IT'S PERSONAL..........

    TIP:

    It really does make a humongous amount.....so I used a big stock pot and it almost filled it :eek: I also left it chunky as its so thick it doesnt need blitzing I dont think.Also yesterday I chucked in some cooked leftover cabbage, carrot & turnip from tea....yummy it kind of tastes like heinz vegetable soup..... even OH loves it!!!!! x

    [/SIZE](not sure what other tyne brand you want checking....I never buy them so its the only one I could think of, but if you need anything else just ask :))
    Basically the syn book you have will be WAY wrong now with a few things:eek:......you used to be able to eat corned beef freely.....now its synned, and up until just a couple of months ago morrisons eat smart sausages were free...now they are 1/2 syn each,

    From how I understand it - if the packaging changes, then often the syn value does too :( so you need to just check if you notice anything.

    Hope this helps a bit ;)


    Thanks,

    *Teryaki Sauce 180 ml
    8½ Syns per package/portion

    *Simpsons Simply Cottage Pie cooking Sauce 400g

    Had a great swim this morning, managed 35 minutes of lengths and even had a go at back stroke for a change :)

    I was starving when I got back (had a detour to Tesco to do the weekly shop) so I've had a quick fried egg sarnie

    I've used up my HE'bs and one A so far today, might have a couple of mini cheeses later before deciding on what to have for tea :)

    Have a great day everyone

    D - HM SF pasta sauce, pasta, cheese (HEA)
    Snacks - activa ff yog, kellogs fibre + (HEB)
    Drinks - NAS squash, coffee

    Total syns =

    I've had no syns yet so will update later, although not sure what to use them on as I get my choccie fix from the fibre+ bar! May have some crisps.

    Hope you all had good days

    Back from shopping and £150 lighter:cool: I now have all the ingredients for the cheesecake......except no tin to make it in!! I will have a look for anything suitable in the cupboards:)

    I am on a red day and my plan for today is

    RED DAY

    B - Egg and Bacon
    L - Soup, snack a jack(2.5)
    S - Big bowl of fresh fruit and FF yoghurt
    D - Lamb and veg, jacket spud (HEb)

    Milk for tea HEa

    So I still a a HE a/b to use and some syns.....I will put some cheese in my spud, actually I may have two small pots for both HEb's

    For my syns I will have 3 malted milks with a cuppa this evening(10.5)


    How is that plan looking?

    Ah great thanks...Just edited to say it's a red day:o

    I can't believe how easy I am finding this....much easier than last time tbh. Last time (back in 2008) I basically only did green days, easy extra didn't exist then either, as I could never get the hang of red days, this time, in my first week, I have done 1 x EE, 3 x Green, 2 x Red and 1 x naughty day off plan;) I am absolutely loving it:D
