hiya, could I join in? started SW last Thursday, it's going okay so far, just struggling for things to eat for lunch as I often have to eat on the go, i.e. in my car!

anyway just wondered if there were any fat free yogurts you can have without lumps in? I was pretty chuffed when I found out muller light yogurts are free but hate the texture with the bits of fruit in :-/

me too but im not afraid to say what i think lol.. i love how some people .. drink heavily at the weekends but its the excessive fruit that means they dont lose as much .. its like perhaps if you didnt go out and have 90 syns in one go you would lose more then 1lb
now im not saying thats anyone on here.. but its one thing i have seen happen

My 20 week scan today - will get to see the little (or not so little) bean that is throwing my eating out of sync!

Not weighing in tonight as scan is at 6.40pm & not sure when i will get to group in time to weigh - but will probably go show off the pic!

aww i hope it goes well for you

I have vanilla ones as they don't have lumps , I don't like mullets so have activia. I like onken too but not sure that's still free.

Welcome in by the way :A

On the fruit debate I do eat a lot of fruit as I don't find it hindering my weight loss at the moment... I was just trying to help others with it.

Have managed to stay on plan for 4 days so far... The first time in a while I've managed to do that! Lets hope I can keep it up!

Hello everyone again - I didn't just pop in and ask to join in a few days ago and then disappear....ooops I did

Love reading this thread but just don't get much chance to post.

Have managed to (nearly) stay on plan since I joined online last Thursday, but am finding it harder than I did before. But am guessing that is due to the 4 week old baby who is still getting up for night feeds 3 times a night, so surviving on about 4 hours sleep....... My mum thinks I am mad to be trying to lose weight so early - I waited till 3 months after all the other 3 and did find it easier, but I so need to have lost some before I go on holiday at the end of July or I won't be putting a swimming cossie on :eek: Certainly not fair on the others at the holiday park :rotfl:

My other 3 slept like angels from day one - so guess I was due a little monkey this time

Am just finding it hard to find the time to prepare SW food as I am also veggie and eat different to the rest of the household anyway. Still waiting for my SW pack to arrive in the post, so hopefully I will get a few more ideas when I get chance to read through them.

nessie216 - hope the scan went well

Keep up the good work everyone else!!!

Question - where are you getting your syn values from?

Pasta n Sauce, Macaroni Cheese, excluding milk & butter, 108g packet is 1½

Are you using milk as syns? If so - why? you don't list any hea in your daily plan & where is your heb?

Where are you getting 10 syns for chicken? did you fry it in nearly 2 tbsp oil?

You say you had gone over syns - i can't see it myself!

I was over estimating because I had been at work and was frankly too lazy to look it up when I came in at nearly 1am lol
I don't drink milk - except in the form of options hot choc. I don't really like it tbh. I have loads of yogurt so I know I'm not going to be lacking in calcium etc. I tend to do HEA with cheese triangle things as can't be trusted near real cheese not to eat the entire block in one go :eek:
I have a problem with craving bread, cereals, biscuits etc so am trying to stay away from it hence why I don't often have HEB
I didn't cook the chicken myself it was pre-cooked sainsburys thing covered in a chilli & lime marinade, which is why I syned it. But again I guessed as had no way of looking it up while at work.
I guess I would rather over syn something than under.

oh I synned the macroni thing because, although I made without milk or butter, I put too much water in it & used a tbs of instant cheese sauce stuff to thicken it. Which didn't work so much but heyho :rotfl:

You put me to shame!!! Went to blackpool this weekend with the bf to watch a show, and I did not resist any temptation!! I'm usually quite good and syn free during the week, and rarely if ever go over 6syns a day so I figured I had some saved up to be a little bit extravagant...my weekend looked like this

Saturday
B - Muller and raspberries
L - Half a bag of chippy chips at the seaside
D - Double cheeseburger from mcDonalds!!(think it might be pushing it to try and count the cheese as HeA!!:rotfl:)
Mini Bottle of rose at the theatre, lots of diet pepsi for the rest of the day

Sunday
B - Yeo valley fat free yohurt with pineapple and strawberries
Poached egg, half grilled tomato, grilled flat mushroom
L - well not strictly lunch, but a donut and a half (sugarless....as if that makes any difference at this point!) at the pleasurebeach AND a yoomoo fat free natural yoghurt with raspberries (which I thought was being good instead of ice cream...i figured it would be free as its fat free yoghurt but apparently is not!!)
D - Risotto made with red pepper, green pepper, onion and mushrooms with 30g pecorino (heA)
more diet pepsi throughout the day

Basically....My weigh in isn't until wednesday, do you think there's any chance of pulling it back to see a loss this week?! Am worried that I'll lose motivation if i've gained or sts and seek solace in a bar of galaxy or twelve!! haha.
