    I have always had that hip to waist ratio issue but when jeans adn trousers went "hipster" I found the solution for a number of years, just wore those!

    No it clearly says on syns online that polenta is 5 syns per 28g. If you choose to take it as free and are happy with your losses fair enough but it is technically synnable.

    I can't get on the website now because I don't go to meetings but when I did go to meetings earlier this year both my consultant and I also found it listed with rice, couscous, quinoa and other grains on the 'free on Green' page' I printed it off and still have it somewhere. I know it's listed as 5syns per 28g on the syns online which is why I queried it in the first place, I've done SW on and off for over 10 years and it was always free when they just had Red and Green days. I only do Green days as I'm veggie so I do tend to stick with what I know.:D

    And that's fine if it works for you - I also count it as free when I have my occasional cornbread - but newcomers need to know what the official SW line is so they can make an informed decision about it.

    I got the WW ones, £18.99 from Argos, they had loads of good reviews and were a decent price:money:I would have liked the docror style ones but they were very dear :eek: and wouldn't fit in my tiny bathroom! I'm quite looking forwards to getting weighed in the morning :D Might keep me on the straight and narrow tonight:rotfl:

    today is a RED day -

    B - nothing (naughty I know)
    L - wm roll with chicken and salad. Apple
    T - Leek and potato soup. Banana
    Snacks - grapes and raw carrots.
    HEA - milk
    HEB - roll
    syns - having a bottle of dry cider later so 9 syns I think (1pint)
    also had 2 Worthers original sweets so guessing 2 syns? - If its more can someone let me know please.
    Will probably have 3 ryvitas later (other HEB) with some more chicken.

    found today hard for some reason - possibly because dont seem to have eaten as much. :(

    Promised my son a chinese tonight after he asked during the week. I wanted to have a good week so told him the weekend we'd have one. Saved all my syns [bar 1] for it today.
    B - weetabix hot water/milk [part a] coffee
    Snack - apple x2, melon, pineapple, onken
    L - couscous fritta, bbq sauce [1], pineapple, melon, 2x apple, onken
    T - veg chow mein, couple spoons fried rice [shoulda be thai special fried rice but weren't and they forgot the meat grrr], tbsp sweet n sour sauce & 1 mini spring roll. If 14 syns don't cover it I have been under syns all week so hopefully will be ok.

    WI in morning, please be nice scales :p.
    Its not what you do but the way that you do it, thats what get results :T
    Keep the Faith All
