Evening all,

Beanie here's a few choccie ideas:
Freddo - 5 syns
25g bag of McVities choc hobnobs - 6 syn
Time Out Bar (single 16g bar) 4.5 syns
Cadbury's Fudge - 5.5 syns
Dairy Milk small kiddies bar (21g) - 5.5 syns
Twix - Single Finger bars - 5.5 syns
Packet of Rolos - 12.5 syns (but you could split this in 2)
Milky Way - 6 syns
Kiddies Animal Choc Bar - 5 syns
Ripple - 8.5 syns
Twirl (twin pack) - 11.5 syns (but again you could split in 2)


Have placed an online shop to be delivered tomorrow, so will have more fresh fruit & yogurts on their way. Struggling to find things to keep me filled without them.

Today has ended up being a disaster, but proves you need to check the syn value of something before you shove it in your gob. Lesson learned by me, but having a dessert at over 20 syns for the portion, thinking it wasn't that big so couldn't be 'that' bad. Hope it's not blown my whole week, but will have to have a very low syn day tomorrow. I also had a piece of bread, when I had hoped not to have any, but it was purely down to being hungry, and lack of fruit & yogurts.

So today's disaster was red/original :

B - Wheat free flakes HeB1, milk from HeA1
L - Tinned apples (2), lf yogurt (last one - 1 syn), fruit tea.
Snack - 1 slice wm bread HeB2, jam (2) butter (2)
Dinner - mince with veggies and thin sliced topping of potatoes (2), here's where it goes completely wrong: Tart Citron - 20 syns!!!:eek::eek:

Will have to have a very good day tomorrow to do some damage limitation. Argh! I've had a good week otherwise, so really hope it' not going to undo all my good work.

Onwards and upwards!

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!

Thanks for getting on to me. And although I put a t cake as B I will syn it but I thought it was bread anyway.
I didn't 't have the soup nor the crisps so it will just be the t cake. I had a jacket and beans instead.
Try again tomorrow. Oh, dear me, this is hard work.

New shop is open - things can start getting back to normal. Worked over 100 hours this week, I am done in. Hardly seen my little boy and had no time to go shopping. So not eaten as well as I should have, Have stayed within my syns but not had enough super free. Just hope the extra body magic of all the lifting and carrying can counter act it. After slight gain on * week I need a loss this week.

Starting back on my exercise regime. I have some weights, resistance bands, one of those roll bars to do sit ups and my exercise bike now. Trying to tone arms and belly with the bar, bands and weights. I am going to end up with lots of loose skin but will do anything I can to try and minimise it. The bike is for burning calories and toning my legs.

After 10 weeks and 22 lbs I have finally gone down a clothes size. One of the many pairs of size 24 jeans I have not fitted in to for over 2 years fit! Some of the other 24s fasten but are a bit tight but I finally feel like I am getting somewhere.


Breakfast 2 x ryvita, 2 x light laughing cow, 1 x hard boiled egg, chicken slices (needed using up) shape 0 fat yoghurt.
Lunch - batchelors noodle deli box beef, fruit salad (apple, melon, grapes) banana
Tea - pasta with mushroom, courgette, onion, pepper, peas, sweetcorn, quorn chicken style peices, tinned toms and sweet chilli philli light. Melon and 0 fat yoghurt.

snacks - alpen light, banana, hard boiled egg

Hea 2 x light laughing cow, milk in cuppas
heb 2 x ryvita 1 x alpen light (old style)

Syns noodle deli box 1.5, sweet chilli phili light 2, curly wurly 6.5

Total 10

I meant to ask. I have noticed some of you switch from green to red to EE days. Have you found this helps with weight loss. I have been doing EE but looking at green I could do that do with no problems and the sound of extra Hex appeals.

tazzyb I switch it around just to get some variety and as someone who doesn't eat much meat or fish the green days really suit me.

Hi Tazzy,I switch between EE & Green a lot as far as losing better goes I don't know because I'm still going wrong. I do it 'cause I love the change and I don't get bored. Try it you might have better luck than me.
