    I save syns - my consultant says its allowed? Just have 5 a day but you can bank the other 70 for the week - can't be rolled into following weeks etc?

    Hifi bars are a decent 3 syn snack
    Ringo crisps are 3
    Multipack bags of skips are 3.5?
    Kinder bars are 3.5
    Milky bar small bars are 3.5?
    Small bags of maltesers are 5?
    Small bags of buttons are 4?

    Frogga, I weigh myself until I get 2 weights the same, lol. Usually just the two goes, but sometimes it can vary wildly!

    Meg, my weekend was rather like yours! And it’s +2lbs for me this week. :o

    Hurrah for Lioness and b-e-g!

    Commiserations to the rest of you.

    Hello and welcome jock!

    Well here’s the plan for Tuesday.

    Breakfast: strawberry light fruitopolis (0.5 syn), banana
    Lunch: baked potato with mixed pepper and tomato sauce, hexa cheddar, grapes
    Dinner: chicken curry with rice

    I’ve had no snacks (so far) and with a lot of running around to do this afternoon, I’m not likely to have any this afternoon either, thank goodness. No doubt I’ll have something this evening.

    Be strong, everyone.

    I've always been told 15 syns as well.


    I save mine up too for Chinese & weekend gin or vodka usually. Low Syn crisps and choc usually happens once a week and the rest goes on things like red sauce and mayo etc


    Saving my syns up has always worked for me and I think I'd go mad if I didn't lol
  • The best syns I've found is a bag of flying saucers for 3.5, but might have a go at the kinder bars as I love them.

    I expected to lose lots the first week and as such I'm not eligable for slimmer of the week and my first week loss only counts half for the month. Maybe I'll fill my pockets with stones and carry the weight loss into next week!

    I really want to win a tin of carrots!

    Good to see you mildredd. I was wondering where you'd got to. Great news about the toned body and compliments are always good to hear.

    Well I joined SW last week, only man in our group!

    Where are you getting the info on this free Christmas Cookbook if you buy a six week plan? Is it from next week only as I was going to buy a six week plan tonight.

    FF Fromage Frais, Fresh Raspberries and Bran Flakes (B)
    Lasagne (A) & mullerlight
    Bacon, tinned tomatoes, sausage (3), SW Fried Potatoes, Beans

    Weight seems to have dropped off me this week, about 8lbs


    Welcome to our merry little gang jocksojungle. Re xmas book - might be with 12 week countdown from next week but not totally sure. Your consultant should be able to help you though. Don't forget to let us know how you get on at wi.

    Haha. I like the way you are thinking. :rotfl:

    Shala - please put me down for -5 this week. Not as great as it sounds as I didn't weight last week and put on 1 the week before. Still, I'm pleased with it.

    Well done everyone, keep it up.
