I went to group last night for my very first WI and lost a whopping 5 1/2 lbs!!! I didn't think I would get anywhere near that, so its def giving me motivation to keep at it.
I have set my next weeks goal at 2lbs.

I tried to make choccie brownies today with sweetener, vanilla extract, eggs and options white choc... lets just say they didn't work out

So I have instead made a sort of cheesecake in a glass, using 2 light digestives, 1/2 tub of philly's lightest and a muller light along with options mint choc madness.

I haven't worked out the syn's for it, but am hoping it won't be too damaging? Although I have now realised philly light you can use as a hea, but philly lightest you cant

You can now use Philly lightest as a healthy extra although it may not be in your book but it is online. You can have 130g as a B choice on a green day or 3 x 35g Philly lightest tubs as a B choice on green.

If you don't do green days I would count it as 75g reduced fat/light soft cheese or you could swap the Philly for Quark as this if free.

Hope this helps

This week is not going to end well, 4.5 syns for a LEVEL TABLESPOON (or a sniff, if you will) of crunchy peanut butter, I had no idea

Breakfast - poached egg and beans on HEXB toast and an apple.

Dinner - Tuna mayo pasta salad (2 syns) and a packet of tayto something or anothers (5 syns)

Snack - A rice cake with peanut butter on at a friend's house (facepalm syns, thought it was a better option than a chocolate biscuit)

Tea - Minced beef hash with carrots and broccoli, melon with fat free fromage frais.

Going to have my usual hot chocolate (2 syns) before bed and start again, again tomorrow

Evening all

For those that drink semi-skimmed milk and use it as their HEX. Roughly how many cups of tea does that equate to - has anybody worked it out?

I can get 3 and a hot chocolate out of mine if I have semi skimmed instead of skimmed. I like my drinks in big cups and milky though, so I would say normal people should get 5-6?

Thanks joedenise and mumoftwo for the advice re syns in home made bread. I will look into that. I can cut bread quite thinly (unless it's still warm) but I think a slice will be quite synful, so I like the idea of chopping it down to 60g - maybe that'll be toty though! I wonder if I could work out the total syns, then deduct the 6 allowed for hexb and count the rest as syns.
