    On my computer I've saved the syns page in favourites as that's what I mostly use. I can always go from there to the main site if I want to.

    Generally speaking I can get syns online easily on my phone and I prefer it on there. It doesn't limit the list to 30 items.
    Brilliant idea thanks:T:T

    Evening all

    Well, I'm back, I've made the bed, unpacked the cases and now I've got my feet up with a glass of wine. The journey was good, we spent a night in Burgos and walked round the city then drove to Santander and it was such a beautiful day we went to Sardinero, which is a beach resort not far from the port, and walked along the promenade so I got plenty of body magic. I've got lots to do tomorrow to get the shop prepared for opening on Saturday and we need to go shopping so I need to get on with a meal plan after having had 3 days off.

    I haven't had a chance of o catch up with the rest of the thread yer but I couldn't fail to notice your amazing first weigh in bubbs! Well done, that's a great start. :j:T:beer:

    Thanks for the chart Shala and well done Kathryna for SOTW. :T

    Off to catch up with the rest of the thread.

    Sorry have been awol for the last week or so - work has been crazy (and my food choices have reflected this...:() But weighed in today and lost 0.5lb - which was a relief more than anything. I was just pleased it wasn't a gain. Now need to be more focussed this week and try and get back into it - really want to try and get back on track. I have 17 weeks until my holiday and I AM going to be slimmer...:p

    Well done to everyone who has lost (particularly Bubbs for your fab first week :j, and Kathrynha for getting your Club 10 and your 2½ stone award :T). Hugs to all those who have gained or STS - I know how you're feeling, because I am struggling at the moment... I seem to "draw a line" most days at the moment! :o

    So, today's menu was:

    Brunch: Bacon, sausage (SW), scrambled eggs and tinned tomatoes
    Dinner: Ham, lettuce, Chinese leaf, cucumber, tomatoes, spring onions & pickled gherkins. Banana & Greek yoghurt.
    HExB: 1 Salted Caramel hi-fi + 1 Choca Mocha hi-fi bar (first time I have bought hi-fi bars today, and they are lovely!!)
    HExA: didn't happen - oops! :undecided

    Tomorrow's menu:

    Breakfast: Cheese (HExA) omelette with mushrooms & tomatoes
    Lunch: Cauliflower & horseradish soup - last one from the freezer... :cry:
    Dinner: Cajun chicken with homemade coleslaw & salad. Stewed apple (HExB) with Greek yoghurt.

    No syns today (unintentional), and none planned for tomorrow (again, unintentional), but I am not worried about this, because I think I am beginning to realise that I am the sort of person who, when they do have syns, is not good at restricting them to 15 (don't ask about the recent "Creme Egg disaster" - let's just say it was a bad idea to buy in advance for Easter! :EasterBun). However, I don't feel deprived particularly on the days when I don't have any syns because I enjoy what I am eating, so I am going to plod along and enjoy my syn-free days, and then when I go crazy at some point in the week (normally either chocolate or wine at home, or biscuits/cake at work!), I will have the syns in the bank to deal with it! :rotfl:

    Hi everyone STS this week. :)
    I am not really bothered as I have had a scone ,chocolate and one or two other bits,so, I am lucky I haven't gained. :eek:

    Congratulations to every loser and big hugs to those that really need them.:T

    I will have to try harder next week. When it's nearer the bone, it's harder to lose.:cool: :cool:
