    Well done on your first week. My vice is kitkats:D The 2 finger ones are 5.5 syns which i find enought to satisfy a chocolate craving.

    Freddie/Freddo frogs are good as solid chocolate and think they are 5.5 syns. Curly Wurly is another popular choice and think that is also around 5.5

    I have mikado - they are thin sticks of biscuit dipped on chocolate and are half a syn each and you buy them in boxes.

    i get the little bars of dairy milk which are 5.5 syns for 21g of choc.
    (they come in a multi pack of 6 btw and are usually £1.12 in asda) i always feel like i have had proper chocolate after eating one or two of these.

    Bum! Bum! Bum! There was me hoping for a 2lb loss to get my 3st, and went and found 1lb instead. :mad: Totally 'miffed' to say the least!


    I know the feeling :mad: BUM BUM BUM from me too

    I went to weigh in.....hoping for just a 1 pounder for my 3st - and got 0.5 this week :(
    *I WILL WILL WILLLLL GET THAT SODDING SHINEY 3st STICKER NEXT WEEK.....EVEN IF IT MEANS MISSING OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY BUNS/CAKE;)*

    Evening all,

    Sorry I've been MIA a bit lately......Just been a bit 'off it' with my dodgy graft so not been posting very much.

    Well done to the Losers (both on the scales and the NSVs) Hugs to anyone who needs them and Hello & welcome to any Newbies.

    Hi All

    I am in need of some advice - has anyone made the syn free meringues? I made them on Wednesday night and they were delicious. Put the ones I didn't eat in a tupperware clip on lid container (so airtight) and the recipe says will keep for 7 days. Opened the tub so I could have my treat tonight and they are soft and squishy and horrible!

    What went wrong?

    I am so upset as only big bars of choc in fridge (my OH's) and I am not the kinda girl who can just have half, but I need a sweet treat!

    Thanks
