Tete - are you still at target? If you are then I would say as long as you only use the amount of fruit you would actually use and FF natural yoghurt then I wouldn't syn it. However if you're not at target then I'd syn it. Have looked at SW on line and they vary a lot depending on brand, which of course isn't very helpful!

I'm nowhere near target, you must be thinking of someone else! Thanks for your thoughts though, and you're right, I know. I'll have a little look around at how much to syn it and maybe replace a couple of my day's coffees (or which there are many at the mo) with a smoothie, at least then I'm getting some vitamins. Well done on your loss this week!

WI tomorrow but also TOTM (how does it always come around so quick) so I'm feeling a bit blergh and heavy this evening. Que sera sera.

Well done on your losses, lantanna, chocolateteddy, denise, Missli and bubbs. :T Special congrats on SOTW, bubbs! :dance:

chocolateteddy, that Eton Mess desert sounds yummy...

Well, today I kind of stuck to plan, except I had a call from my next door neighbour (who works away a lot, so I don't see him much) inviting me for a coffee and catch up. I drink black coffee with no sugar, so no danger there...I thought... :think: When I got there, he had baked soft chocolate cookies! :doh: There goes that "don't disappoint people..." thing again!! :whistle: I have synned it as a Millie's regular dark chocolate cookie (10½), which will cover it because it wasn't quite as big as a Millie's one, and didn't have the chocolate chips in it. So, with the additional 1 syn for LTL mayo (I turned the new potatoes for dinner into potato salad... :cool:), I've ended today on 16 syns. I'm not too worried about that - its weigh in day, and I have a whole week to claw it back, and I can honestly say that all my syns today were delicious, so we'll start again tomorrow and keep going! :rotfl:

Tomorrow's plan is:
B: Cheese (HExA) omelette with mushrooms & tomatoes
L: Cauliflower & horseradish soup (1 syn for horseradish - I like it spicy!)
Jacket potato with... something which will involve hot & spicy chicken. Maybe mixed in mayo/fromage frais with chopped cucumber, tomato, spring onion, celery, peppers & sweetcorn. Would quark work instead of the mayo/fromage frais (still haven't got my head round quark... I keep buying it to try in a specific recipe, then keeping the rest until its growing blue furry stuff in the fridge, before moving it to the bin :wall: - would love to develop that natural, effortless, "chuck it in", ability, if you know what I mean!)?
HExB: Probably a hi-fi bar - treated myself to new flavours at class this morning (rocky road and double chocolate). Now I have all six flavours sitting on the side...

Have a great Friday, everyone!

Can I ask a question about tinned fruit eg mandarins in juice. According to the book they are free, but then a colleague said I couldn't have the juice... is that right? How many syns would it be if I did?? thank you. Weigh in tomorrow so will be interesting to see how I've done in my first week.

Good luck for first weigh in:D i thought you did have to count juice
EDIT yes you do here are a few per 100g[/B]
Apples, sliced 2.0
Apricots,
breakfast, in juice 5.0
halved, in juice 2.0
halved, in syrup 3.5
Berries/summer fruits,
in syrup 3.0
Black cherries, in light syrup 3.5
Fruit cocktail/medley, in juice 2.5
in syrup 3.0
Fruit pie filling 5.0
Grapefruit, in juice 2.0
in syrup 3.0
Lychees, in syrup 3.0
Mandarins, in juice 2.5
in syrup 3.0
steps to success
Canned fruit labelled
‘no added sugar’ can be
misleading. Sugar may have
been added as a fructose
using apple or other sweet
fruit juices. Natural maybe,
but still Syn-laden, so stick
with fresh.
Mango, in syrup 4.0
Peaches, in juice 2.5
in syrup 3.0
Pears, in juice 2.0
in syrup 3.0
Pineapple, in juice 2.5
in syrup 3.0

Have just put mandarins into the WLP and it has come up with

Mandarins - free
Mandarins (canned in juice) per 100g - 2
Mandarins (canned in syrup) per 100g - 3

So I guess you do have to count the juice if you don't drain them...

Good luck for weigh in tomorrow!
