The way i am led to believe things to be from my group is that you still need to have 1/3rd of the plate covered even if there are sfs within a meal to ensure you are getting the correct balance.
Dark rye ryvitas are 1.5 syns each.

i'm going to clarify that in group on thurs as looking at some of the FB photos of meals others (inc. consultant) in my group post they don't seem to be having extra every meal

back on track with the food diary today.. I think!

B: scrambled egg, toms, mushrooms, 1 sm bread (b)
L: pepper and spinach soup, 1 sm bread (b) banana
T: (ex lean) beef and green pepper in blackbean sauce, stir fried veg, white rice.. plum, nectarine
Syns: tom sauce 1, LF spread 1, amoy black bean sauce 4.5

had a splash of milk in scrambled egg but not had full he (a) yet so going to have some sugar puffs for supper, an extra 4.5

total syns : 11

can't help on the bread lushlifesaver, never tried making my own!

Hi LittleLisa,

I usually have cereal, branflakes or 2 Weetabix (b) with a chopped banana

also, porridge (b) - made with water or 1/2 with milk from (a) then add some frozen blueberries in, they cool it down as they thaw and give a bit of sweetness

mullerlight yoghurt (or similar) with different fruits

am with you on the eggs.. if time to cook I sometimes have..

bacon on toast.. 2 small slices wholemeal (b), use tom sauce instead of butter (1 syn) or Philadelphia (a) can add tomato or mushrooms to that, grilled or a spray of frylight and done in pan

cheese on toast for a late brekkie, bread again (b) and cheese from (a)

beans on toast (b)

odd occasion full brekkie, bacon, sausage (Tesco healthy Living Cumberland 1 syn) mushrooms, toms, egg

Has anyone used homemade bread as a healthy extra? just thinking of making some wholemeal rolls to use - would 60g of dough make a 60g roll? - probably one of my usual blonde questions!

Just thought I would ask

I always make my own bread wholemeal/white I do half and half. When I slice my bread I weigh each slice as 1 oz sometimes I make 1 small loaf and 6 bread rolls. 1 roll should be enough for HE. tastes much nicer than bought bread. Wizkid1:T

Hi gang,
nice to see we are all surviving. Sorry I haven't been around home pressures still making me want to hide in a corner Illnesses a plenty in this house. I am beginning to think it's something I am doing. Littlest has been up all night, no obvious reason just "toddlerness" I guess. Off to the docs today hopefully to sort out the on going sore throat issues. Hubby finds out if he's lost his job fri/monday.We have plans to set up on our own if he has. But very hard to be positive about anything right now.
Weigh In tonight. If I've lost I will be very surprised, a crap start to this SW week lots of stress, wine and chocolate. * week is due and then some... I know weight loss can mess with the hormones and I am fairly certain I am to young for anything else other than pregnancy. And I KNOW it's not that.
I'm trying not to infect others with my blues, but group last week was awash with woe is mes. How the heck do I shake them off.

lushlifesaver

Good to see you shelliehollie don't think I can be much help sadly. When I get like that I just give myself a metaphorical slap and remind myself of all the good things/positives in life and 'fake it until I make it'

Ooh thanks wizkid1 I may try it in that case next time I have the chance and wholemeal flour!

Today:
B: banana and ww yog - will try and get something more soon
L: not sure yet
T: not sure yet...

...hmm today may go rather slowly looking at this!

Haven't made bread since starting SW (actually that's a lie, I have once but I didn't eat any!) but I think 60g dough would make a lighter roll as the water will evaporate when it's baked. Not sure what the weight difference would be though- trial and error called for I reckon!

Welcome Lisa, and well done for your loss so far. I usually eat breakfast in work and have bran flakes, weetabix or porridge with a banana. If you don't want to use all your HEs in one go you could make rice pudding with pudding rice or cooked ordinary rice, then flavour it with a yogurt or fruit. If I have time I sometimes have a cheese omelette on a wholemeal pitta, but usually save that for green days as again uses A and B at once. Weekends are normally bacon butty or poached egg on toast, mmmm!

Beanie- well done!

Shellie - Sorry to hear things are still stressful. Hope they improve for you all soon *hugs*

Well I lost 2.5 last night - made up but had been really good so thought I deserved it Also got SOTW but not sure if that's only cos so few people stayed- it was hailing heavily and we had a stand in consultant so hardly anyone stayed and it ended up just being 4 of us plus 2 helpers! Was actually really good though, as we could take our time talking to everyone, and since the stand in didn't know our histories we could go back and think about things which we wouldn't normally talk about etc. Nothing to stop me losing this week as most of my 'events' are out of the way for now, and tbh am made up that I have got through them all and still lost a bit of weight :j

EE today:
B: Porridge (B), banana, milk (A), maple syrup (2)
L: Paella (2), 2 clementines
T: Spag bol, parmesan (1.5)
S: Rocky (5.5)

Have a good day folks

beanielou

Great loss Blodwen :j

Keep plodding shellie x

Can I have soup between meals, and are there any syns in a Knorr stock cube.
