Hi Shala, I was a STS for this week :-)

Hi all I have a question, I fancy a bacon sandwich tomorrow but don't have any small wholemeal rolls or bread. I'll have to make do with a deli style roll from Asda which has around 170 calories- how many syns should I count?

Tete_en_l'Air

Thanks for the table Shala and hope you had a lovely hol!

Today:
B - Mullerlight with berries and pomegranate
D - Smoked salmon salad (leaves, carrot, cucumber and balsamic)
T - Jacket spuds with 4 syns low fat cheese, carrot, cucumber, 3 syns light mayo.

HEXA - Milk in drinks
HEXB - 1 small slice wholemeal bread, 1 Alpen light bar
Syns - 3 for sugar in coffee, 5 for chocolate, total: 15 - yikes.

Weigh in tomorrow

Well this was my first day and although it was a nightmare of a morning I managed to stick with plan (also got my hair cut so that always lifts spirit )

Breakfast : I had a few coffees using HEA in it (not much time this am)
Lunch : 1 medium boiled egg and a activia fat free yogart
Dinner : Frylight (sw) Roast with potatoes , parsnips , sweetcorn , gammon and beef. (small portion and any visible fats removed)

Syns : Snacked on my sons onion right corn snack things earlier 3.5syns (mindlessly) and might have a curly wurly 6syns for a snack later . So 9.5 Syns.

I didnt exercise today but did go shopping so a little walking

Still not used healthy extra B , but shopping day tomorrow so winging it today and I don't have nimble or anything in.

Planning on making overnight oats for breakfast tomorrow , maybe some kinda pasta salad or soup for lunch and going to pop the rest of the beef in the slow cooker and make a cowboy chilli for dinner using chipotle chilli , passata , onions and tomatoe puree and kidney beans.

Thankyou everyone for the kind welcome , a bunch of awesome people

You might change your mind after I've been nagging you:o. Sorry to say but your menu today doesn't have any Speed food in it. If you look at your books parsnips and sweetcorn are just free food and you didn't have any veg with your other meals. Extra Easy will only work if you have at least a third of Speed fruit and/or veg. You have eaten quite healthily today (except for missing breakfast) so that'll help but you really need to focus on upping the Speed food.


Tomorrow's menu looks like it could be much better. Try to have Speed fruit with your oats, make the soup with plenty of veg and if you can add some diced carrots or peppers or mushrooms (or all three;)) to your chilli.


I think denise said, you really don't need to buy Nimble unless you really like it. Any wholemeal bread will be fine and a lot less expensive. Ideally buy a 400g loaf then you can have 2 slices a day.


liz it's hard to say about your bread roll without more than just the calories but it could be 9 or 10 syns. Why not have bacon with a fry up instead?

Maman thanks , I dont mind nagging , I did note there was not alot of speed foods and I think its gonna take me small steps learning and adding them in on a regular basis ...... Shopping day today so I should have more of a speed food selection to chose from.

The soup will be full to the brim with Carrots and Leeks for lunch (mums lentil soup recipe) and Dinner I will not put the extra veg in as the teens will pull faces (might get away with a grated carrot in the sauce). Passata and chopped tomatoes a speed food ? But I personally think I will have a huge side salad with mine. Oh and Blueberries (frozen) went on the oats last night .

Exercise today will be charity shop shopping in seaford for the day

Oh also what day do we all weigh in or is it just which ever for each ?
I still think your an awesome bunch , I like to be kept on my toes , got loads to loose x

i understand that but don't have any other bread in and I won't be going shopping again till Fruday. I think the syns will be worth it though

debbie - Passata and chopped tomatoes are Speed foods. Good idea to have the side salad with it - don't forget the beetroot & gherkins (if you like them) as they are also Speed foods.

Unfortunately the blueberries you had with your porridge last night are only Free food not Speed:(.

Not sure if you go to Group or are an online member but if you use the diary on line you can check whether foods are Speed or not.

Last night's Quorn sausage casserole was revolting! The texture of the sausages was really weird. Definitely won't be making that again!

Of course that means I've had to rejig my plan for today as I was going to have LO casserole for lunch today! Was also going to use my HEB for breakfast but now want it for bread at lunchtime.

Today's plan is to have an EE day:

B - bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes
L - ham salad sandwich (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, beetroot, cornichon)
D - chilli (with added veg) from freezer with rice.

HEA - milk
HEB - bread

Syns - mayo instead of spread 1

Not sure what else but have 8.5 syns left so may have a couple of crackers & butter for supper (8 syns)

Hi all

Quick post from me. Have been MIA as we are decorating the house at the moment so things are displaced and it seems to take ages just to do the simplest of jobs. Also really hectic at work so doing a bit of work at home too!!

Well done to all the losers and welcome to all the joiners - wow a lot of new faces which is lovely.

Well a 1lb gain for me last night. So I have 12 weeks to xmas and I really want to lose that stone so need to get my head down and focus.

meal plan for today

Breakfast: Toast, jam (1 syn) and DG latte (2.5 syns)
snack: summer fruits with yoghurt
lunch: couscous with chickpeas, roasted red peppers, cucumber, spring onion, mint, lemon juice, and feta cheese (HeA)
dinner: fish, new potatoes and mixed veg (babycorn, mangetout and carrots)

depending how I feel later I may use some more syns but otherwise I will bank them for wine at the weekend.

Hi Denise,
