yikes that's a lot of syns :eek::eek::eek::eek: awww thanks for going to all that effort

oh the curry mentioned in 1) is just rice and curry (no meat) - my thinking on that one is that it's all green :o:o

Hi hun just had a look in the food directory and for indian vegetable curry it is 12.5 syns on red or 9syns on a green. thats for a 380g portion btw.


Hope some of it helps. You could always make your own curry at home and freeze it for moments of need

hmmm certainly quite sobering when you see how high in syns some of these things are ... so I guess ideally I need to try n get to a point where I don't do thta at all or only once in a blue moon. thnaks all :beer::beer::T:T

Judd I think the reason they are quite high is due to them using a lot of oil in their cooking hun. Are you a competent cook? Cos if you can cook, or follow a recipe at least I can find some recipes for you for things like curries that are syn free. x

not really no -starting to take baby steps - pathetic innit - I'm 46 and can barely cook.

My idea of cooking is getting take away or chucking a ready meal in oven or microwave :o

Must admit have enjoyed starting to make some real meals though - enjoyed making the BB lasagne.

any real quick n easy (and idiot proof) recipes would be welcome thanks :D I have picked quite a few up from SW group - just need to start getting organised and making some of 'em

thanks again

Have any of you thought about how much weight you would like to lose by christmas from your last weigh-in? I need to lose 4 and 1/2 stone all together so would realistically love to lose a stone by then so thats about 6 and a bit weeks from my first weigh-in last sunday which is just over 2lbs a week which i think is very do-able.
See if you can make your mini goal by christmas! :xmassmile

You know the info on the takeaway amounts is really useful isn't it. I've never took much notice and always ignored them if I fancied one on WI night BUT not anymore.. I would have reached my target before now definately and have stayed the same for 2 wks so this week I'm going to do different!

I'm having a mix 2 max day today and have had,

Breakfast - 2 x WW brown danish toast (HEB) with 2 Hard boiled Eggs (Free)

Snacks - Fruit (Free)

Lunch - Original - Ham & Cheese (HEA) Salad on a plate and my other x 1 WW bread (HEB)

Dinner - Green - plan for tea is to have a Tomato based pasta I think.(Free on Green)

Does this look ok?

Ooh just looking at my diary there I have another HEB left so I can have a chicken pasta?? OOOH if thats right i like mix2 max if thats what its called (?).

I didn't know until someone mentioned in here you can have 3 x WW brown danish bread (400g loaf) as one HEB which is great. It tastes just like Hovis best of both.

oooh no rush sweetie :-)

I have started doing my Diary on a spreadsheet now and done formulae to add up syns and keep a running total.

if anyone wants to see it and maybe have a bash at using it PM me and I'll send it you - also have a sheet on it where I intend to start creating a list of Free/lowish syn alternatives to bad foods. Lemme know if interested - PM me your eamil address and I'll send it to you.
