    fatrab - think that would work but you'd need to work out the syns! I'd suggest the Light Philli as you can have I think 75g of that for 6 syns (or HEA) so works out cheaper synwise than standard light cream cheese. Don't forget it needs to be wholemeal bread for HEB not just brown bread. How about using the crustless wholemeal then you can make it a triple decker!

    Oh yeah, a triple Decker sounds the business! I bought all the ingredients I think I need, and went for lightest philadelphia at 1syn per 25g.

    Been on plan for 8 weeks now so yeah when I say things like brown bread I mean the 400g wholemeal loaf. I know what I mean in my own head but appreciate it may not come across that way when I type it out lol

    fatrab let us know what you actually do and how it works out. Sounds a good recipe, might have to give it a go myself at some stage.

    L- Mexican stew with boiled rice (from Take 5 but with added broccoli, baby corn and garlic)
    D- First attempt at Jalapeno grilled cheese sandwich & salad

    :)

  • Feeling bleugh today. The thought of eating anything makes me want to heave and the only thing that got me out of bed is the fact that I have to do payroll, hoping to leave work as soon as that is done.

    I know regular eating is important, but what do we do if having a day like this, been awake for hours, wanting to throw up (sorry if you are eating) but nothing happening, feel absolutely bloated & uncomfortable (maybe this has been going on all week but I blamed increased syns?), just want to curl up in bed? Will try a mint tea later, but other than that, not interested in anything.

    2.5lbs off... getting my 6st award....

    It also means:

    It's a really nice bit of news after a tough couple of weeks. It was a somewhat quiet award as my consultant was unwell so a temp was in, but I think I prefer that to the bouquet of flowers the last person got :D I've had the chat about 'routes' and I've been told I should be on C. I suspect I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing but add some more Hex B's in and perhaps a few more syns. I'll have to get back to measuring again though. That said, I don't eat that many syns now, so it's quite tricky to see where I can add them, but I need to read up on Savvy syns apparently lol. I'll also see how I get on before lowering it again ;)

    Thanks for all your support everyone :) This thread really is wonderful :)

    Well done Stoke, that's a massive achievement.

    WI this week for me -1.5 lbs

    Hope all having a good week,
    I am struggling with having the kids home for half term, and son's massive birthday cake in the fridge. I think i need to meal plan for the rest of the week or can see myself going off plan big time.

    take care all. V
