Morning, well my day didn't go quite to plan food wise but I'll live.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend:) Need to eat some breakfast soon!

I have no more advice than what's been given already gettingthere, but I remember someone saying a few pages back that good or bad everything catches up with you eventually.

Is it possible to calculate the syns in something that isn't listed on the SW website?

I have some Tesco Finest Pork, Vegetable and Bean Hot Pot Sausages in the freezer I would like to use up but I can't find the syn value. I think they must have been discontinued but was hoping they may be a little better than some other sausages because of the vegetable/kidney bean content.

did you try the syn calculator? the one you enter the kcal, fat, protein etc. values and it tells you the syns? that's if you have the packet...

For 2 - grilled its :

7 Syns per package/portion on Extra Easy

As per the syn calculator online (members only) using the nutritional info on the page you linked.

New to SW and just have a question please...

On EE day can instead of having 2 sliced of bread or 2 Alpen light (as a B choice) can you have 1 of each ?

Quick message for GettingThere :beer:

What's happening to you is EXACTLY what happened to me. I've now lost over 7 st, but at about 6 st down I stopped losing. I even put on 6lb in a week once and I did NOTHING wrong! I NEVER cheat and really stick to all the rules but the scales did not budge.

I came on here to ask for some advise and have a good moan. The general sensus of opinion was that I was eating way too much fruit. I ate A LOT of fruit. At one point it was coming out of my ears which isn't attractive I usually had 2 bananas a day, plus 5 oranges, maybe 3 apples, grapes, and LOADS of pineapple. It was no more than I had been eating before which had helped me lose 6 st, and in my view "free" is suposed to be "free"!

Begrudgingly I cut down on the fruit and stuck to just 5~7 pieces a day with a big bowl of fruit salad on a friday as a treat. And I've lost another stone after that. So, I guess you just can't eat as much as you and I would really like to once you've lost as much as we have.

I also cut down on the Fat Free yog. I was eating about 4 a day. Again, to me "free" and "unlimited" means exactly that? But, I was just being a greedy piggy because I didn't need 4 yog, I just ate them because I thought I could and I'd still lose weight.

All I can say is, I cut down a little, and the weight started moving again. Oh, and last weekend I ate BOWLS of fruit salad and put on 6lb. But it soon came off after a couple of days later.

Just something to think about, but I do remember that one nice lady on here said she ate them same amount of fruit as me and still lost, albeit slowly?

Have a nice day all

Good day everyone

Guess what - go on - have a go



-2lbs

After 6 weeks of up 2 down 2 up 2 down 2 I finally have a down 2 that was below the last lowest weight. What have I done different? I ate what I wanted over the Easter break - didn't go hog wild and would you believe I had no chocolate but ..... reading through the last couple of pages and thinking about it I have eaten a lot less fruit than I usually do Seems to have worked for me this time as well. I love my fruit and will continue to eat it but in smaller quantities than before - I love weightloss even more

Well done to all the loosers and hang in there all the stalled ones. Your stall will end someday ;)
