I'm glad you have been chatting about yogurts. Yesterday I put in my basket onken fat free strawberry yogurt because *last time* I looked (before Christmas admittedly) it was FREE. Now it's 9 syns ! :eek: Won't be buying that again ! I knew muller lights were now counted as syns but I hadn't twigged/realised that you had to be careful with other fat free yogurts too!

So I've got a meal plan of sorts today.
Breakfast was off the cuff and has ended up being coop super seeded porridge pot. It's not on the syns list but using the calculator - this works out at 3.5 syns. I don't trust this figure however because other porridge pots they sell which are on the syns list come out at over 10 syns

Lunch is a coop salad pot (lettuce, tomato, red onion and mixed peppers). To this, I've added cheese, ham, spring onions and carrots.

Tea, I'm planning on being jackets, heinz beans creationz Mexican beanz chipotle style with chorizo pouch (need to check syn value) and more cheese and another salad pot

Have a good day all x

PS there might be some chocolate syns too but I'll worry about that later

See Kathryn has already answered but had already quoted:p i still have a muller a day like i did when they were free but i still do old plan not 2 hexa

I weighed in this morning.....

I had a pretty good week apart from Saturday....I skipped dinner but I lapsed big time. I just had a sweet tooth night. You know what its like sometimes you cannot help yourself.

I had been going through some old papers and letters that I had not got around to looking through since family members had passed. This was not a good idea. Some things I read got me a bit depressed.

Hence, I opened a Lidl Stollen(large) left over from Xmas and a box of Mcvities chocolate biscuits...You know the ones in the blue box with two separate foil wrapped layers....Opened one layer too...

By the time I went to bed there was not a scrap left, and I even washed it all down with a can of Stella. Needless to say I was very disappointed with myself but, as I say if you fall, get up and carry on.

The good news is, I actually lost another -2lb.... 3 weeks and 12lb lighter....:j:j

Well done to everyone whether up or down...We all lapse but just keep going....:T:T

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: little hic up, be careful this week may catch up with you, but very well done:T:T:T

Morning all.

Well done to all the losers and well done CurlGirl for braving your first meeting! Thanks for the heads up about the protein pots in Aldi, Stoke. I'll look out for those - got to be better than yesterdays noodle pot.Marmite, I love your description of a 'sweet tooth night'.

Well and truly got away with it this week with 1/2lb loss, undeserved but welcome all the same! Creeping towards my target for this challenge as usual. .

Todays menu
B Bran flakes, berries, 0% yoghurt and honey
L LO chicken sausages with salad (freezing here so might change this for something warm)
D At DD1s for tea and no idea what she's cooking - tends to be healthy though.

Have a good day, everyone.

:T:T:T well done

No idea about noodle pots, but I assume the egg noodle ones are okay? I'd avoid Pot Noodles but Naked Noodles use pure egg noodles with an additional sachet. Take the sachet out, and wouldn't they be free?

Speaking of noodles, can anyone shed any light on why pasta is free but super noodle style noodles (i.e. three minute noodle blocks) carry various amounts of syns (between about 5 and 12)? Is it possible that all the syns are in the flavour sachet? I thought the plain noodles with a bit of soy sauce on could make a quick snack in an emergency.

(EDIT - Sorry I've just realised I've said basically what Stoke did above, only in a wordier and more confused way! )

All plain and dried noodles are free, fresh and flavoured synned, its to do with the flavourings and syns.
Tete you can flavour dried with with soy/worcestershire sauce, garlic and herbs
