WelshKitty, I like Tesco diet Fiery ginger beer; I'm not a huge fan of ginger ale for some reason! Don't know that it would work as a mixer - I don't drink any alcohol (just because I never managed to acquire the taste so gave up on it after trying everything recommended to me!).

Thanks for this, I will give it a try. I have given up on alcohol as I can't justify the syns!

I was told this in group last night. I've upped my exercise in the last week and been 100% on plan so to get a gain was a proper slap in the face! It should settle down next week by continuing what you're doing and upping your water intake.

I was also told that when I said I had walked 40 km over my first week and was a little surprised I hadn't lost more than I did.
However after approximately 10 days of lots of walking I now have ankles and my thighs and btm are much more toned! :rotfl:Also makes me feel much more like sticking to plan. I too was told it would even out so keep going mummyroysof3

Forgot to say I have designed myself a tasty diet drink- NAS orange and mango and top up with diet lemomade - delish!!! and feels like a pub treat - bit like a J2o but without the cals.

Just a very quick one.. Will catch up in a bit, very exhausted

Wiz, i understand your frustration and I hope you don't mind me mentioning but I think it would help if you actually had syn values of the items you are eating rather than guesstimating.

A tea cake ranges from 9-15 syns depending on size and brand and then adding butter (2-4 syns) makes it loads more, your soup is 3.5 syns and your crisps 5... So your syns are over 20 today I'd say..

Be back later.. Battery on iPad about to die!
