minxtress

Still buzzing off my 4.5lb weightloss but today I have had
B: punnets strawbs with canderel and ff fromage free and coffee (HEA)
L: vegetable pilau rice and tin mixed beans in tomato sauce. flavoured water
went to harvester as oh wanted to eat out so chose here for salad choice. Had burger in a bun with jacket potato(which was like a rock so I left it) and loads of salad and 2 diet cokes. i make 11 syns for the bun? By jove I enjoyed it though!! Oh had a huge honey n toffee dessert but i resisted which I feel good about and he had wine which i also resisted.
had 2 alpen bars as snacks and got some strawbs n rasps for snacking later.

Gonna make butternut squash and red lentil curry tomorrow.

Hi all, can someone shed some light on NOODLES for me. According to my Free food list the fresh ones have syns, and the dry ones don't.
What about the dry ones with the sachet of powder that you add, do you syn them? I don't know where I read, but I was under the impression bachelor super noodles have syns but the low fat ones don't. What I want to know is if you have the ones that aren't low fat but don't add the sachet is that no syns?? Therefore is it just the sachet of flavouring that is synned???

I ask because when I do a stir fry I usually use Low fat bachelors supernoodles, but never add the sachet as I use a blue dragon sauce, which I syn. But today they never had any low fat ones so I got normal ones in the hope it is just the sachet that is low fat, and the actual noodles are the same in every pack.

Hope this makes sense, thank you guys xx

Yes Susie that's right, it's the sachet that is the syns. All plain dried noodles are free.

Thanks DIZZY - I'll make it tomorrow. I haven't had chance to do my 30 day shred today for numerous reasons but I am determined to do it twice tomorrow. I don't ache as much as I thought I would.

Have you ever thought of being a consultant Dizzy? I think you would make a great one - you'd be such an inspiration. By the way where do you all get the Weetabix oaty bars from? I have scoured our local Tesco and can't see them there. x

I found my oaty bars in the local Co-op, it's a pretty small one too. I went to look in a tesco express and couldn't find them in there!

Thanks Autumnflower, I'll look in our local Co-op tomorrow. They sound great. x

Hello:)
I finally did it and signed up one lunchtime this week. I was a bit surprised that there didn't seem to be any of the Image Therapy at that class - there were chairs out but everyobe weighed in then left as I was chatting with the consultant. But it looks as though there might be plenty of support among you on here. Do you mind if I join in?
I've done two days eating stacks of free food and fighting the munchies and chocolate cake that's in the cupboard. Even at a Royal wedding garden party and bbq - one small tipple of Pimms all afternoon, and no food because I'd filled up on pasta before going. Right now I feel incredibly bloated, so it's hard to believe how all this food magically digests and helps me to lose weight while I sleep!

I'd love to know your favourite low-syn treats - sweet or savoury snacky stuff that doesn't involve low fat natural yogurt and ideally with portion control already included, while I try to get my self-control back!

Thanks!

Welcome scotrae - My two favourite sweet treats are curly wurly (6 syns) and meringue nests (about 3 depending on which make) As for savoury ones I usually go for a bag of Walkers baked crisps (5 syns). There's loads more online or in the SW magazine. At our group there is usually old magazines that can be bought for 50p which are very useful.

As for people weighing and going it happens at all groups I think (can't see the sense myself) - at our group there are loads that go but also a lot who stay (probably about 35 or so most weeks).

You'll get on fine - it is difficult to believe that you can eat so much and still lose weight but you can and WILL. x

Woah woah woah I don't think it is, hold your horses! :eek:

The batchelors 98% fat free ones were free last time I checked, but the normal ones are around 5-6 syns per packet. I don't think that can be just from the flavouring sachet? Never heard that before anyway, I thought it was the noodles which contain/dont contain fat?
