I just looked up M&S chicken pie with shortcrust (DH's favourite) and its 17.5 syns for a measly 138g serving!:eek::eek::eek:

Let us know how you get on with that wine magic.;)

I do use Frylight although I've heard it contains some nasties. I suppose you could try putting olive oil in a spray then you wouldn't use much or alternatively syn your oil or have as a HEB.

I've been fine so far today on EE:
B: NAS Ribena, HEB toast, fried egg, mushrooms, HEA milk for teas
L: ham, green beans, mushrooms and fried potatoes
we're off to Raymond Blanc chain. Whatever I eat, at least the portions will be tiny.:(

Wow, that's brilliant, thank you! The other thing I was considering was the tandoori mixed grill? Will look this up when I get home

In trying to be good, honest!!

The mixed grill has the lamb mince that is like lamb kofte from kebab shops - I'm sure the syns would soon rack up with that one shame cos it's really tasty!

Personally I would have a slice on a day with no other syns & enjoy it - try to have a smaller piece than u would have usually gone for & feed the rest to someone else! Unless you know the brand or have the ingredient list to hand you will probably not find the syn values anywhere!

Thanks again everyone! I think I shall start on monday (got a family doo on Sunday) and I will just do it on here. I know the basics and can find the syn value for things. Just gonna have to try and think of some meal ideas that are quick and easy for the nights I literally have NO energy! I might do some soups and freeze and at least i have lunches and snacks.

Does anyone NOT use frylite? And if not, what do you use instead?

I shall post some of my ideas and check they're ok. I don't eat breakfast either so not too worried about that.

Meals for no energy - things that go in the slow cooker - casseroles, chilli, spaghetti Bol, mince, soups etc. perfect time of year for it - I normally make loads & stick the rest in the freezer!

I try not to use fry light too much as it tends to ruin my pans - I can only not use it in the pans that are non stick & have to use it when cooking eggs (they always seem to stick :mad:)


Any ideas for a low carb/ low sugar breakfast? I can't have porridge, bread or fruit or yog! (Stupid blood sugars!)

Olive oil spray sounds a good idea. I used to have a WW one but it broke. A lot of stuff i can dry cook but there are times when you need a bit of oil. I am looking forward to getting started!

frogga

Shala you are an :A

Olive oil can be a HEb too - if you put it in a spray bottle (you can buy oil sprayers) then you use very little. You really should eat breakfast otherwise your metabolism slows down & you'll possibly be slowing your weight loss in the long run.

can i sneak in and join please.
1st time doing sw (tried ww and numerous other diets before)
my weigh in is mon eve and in 3 weeks i have managed to lose 9.5lb, if i manage another 1.5 this week i will be down in the next stone bracket which will be amazing.
at the mo i am suprised at how simple it is, loving the lack of counting and weighing everything.(will prob be eating my words 1st week i have a wobble) and amazed at how quickly my eating habbits have changed, i haven't had bread since i started as i find it doesn't fill me up and makes me want more and more, where as ryveta does the trick..
not set a target as such but going stone by stone, want to be able to get into size 12 jeans and 16 tops instead of 16 jeans and 20 tops
