Went to class last night and collected my books. Was going through my cupboards and found Uncle Bens Express rice - special fried rice & mushroom rice, can someone tell me if they're free on green or is there a syn value. Also does Muller Light layered fruit yoghurt have a syn value? Also where can I find these things out?

High tizzzzy Rice is syn free on a green day, and muller light yogurts are free on both red & green days.
Well done for taking the plunge keep reading your books you will soon get into the swing of things. bubsy

tizzzzy sorry I made a mistake about the rice. most rice whole grain is free on a green day but Uncle Bens rice :which is listed in my food directory as :Express Mushroom ambient is 2 syns & Express special fried rice ambient is 5 syns.

If you want a low syn , Egg Fried Rice I will put the recipe in below.
I made it today myself and it is quite nice and very filling.

EGG FRIED RICE
serves 4, 1.5 syns each on green plan.
12ozs long grain white rice
salt and pepper
1 tbsp diet lemonade
2eggs

1 clove garlic (crushed)
6 spring onions, finely chopped
6 ozs frozen petit pois
1 tbspn light soy sauce
about 1 tablesps olive oil 6 syns

Put rice In a pan of lightly salted boiling water, cook for 10-12 mins until tender.
Drain and rinse well.
Beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Add 1 tspn lemonade to a wok and heat until hot.
Add eggs to wok and stir fry until lightly scrambled. Transfer to bowl.
Add remaining oil to wok, add garlic and rice and stir fry for 1 - 2 mins.
add spring onions and petit pois. Stir fry for 3 - 4 mins. Gently stir In eggs
and soy sauce, season and serve.

Enjoy bubsy70

Evening

Well Day 2 of sticking to the plan is over and I've done it :T

Had a chat to my consultant who was really impressed with the way I am thinking about it And asked if he could tell the rest of the group :eek: Which I said yes to and a few people thought that concentrating on the plan and food was a better idea than obsessing about weight. So you never know my breakdown may have helped others to :j .

9 syns today, all my healthy extras and loads of free food!! Aiming for the same tomorrow and there are loads of nice looking recipes in the new mag, I'll let you know if any of them are any good.

Personally I'm loving the idea of syn free Pizza!!! :beer:

Hi everyone

Virgin Media have let me use my broadband for a few hours (which is very nice of them...) so I thought I'd have a quick catch up on here.

I have been v v good this week :A (after my blowout on Sat, Sun and Mon). I have weighed (I know, well naughty!) and it seems I have lost the 2lb I put back and another 1lb (it's that TOTM again so that may have had something to do with the gain). I have been trying to eat more.

Today I had 2x weetabix and skimmed milk (HEA and and a handful of blueberries.

Snack - more blueberries, satsuma

I turned down a free bacon sandwich at work today :A :A

Lunch - 6 ryvita crackerbread (HEB) with marmite and 3 light babybel (HEA), mullerlight, banana and more blueberries.

Dinner - loads of rice, simply organic mixed bean chilli, 40g half fat cheddar (5 syns)

I was going to have an alpen bar but it's technically Friday now so I think I'll just go to bed.

Well done Lucy for getting back on track. I think you've hit the nail on the head. I keep trying to focus on how much more healthily I'm eating nowadays. Much better than when I did WW a few years ago. At the end of the day, left with 1.5 points and the choice of a banana or a packet of quavers, guess which one I'd go for? The fact that fruit is free on SW makes me eat loads more than I would normally, which has to be a good thing.

Do feel like being naughty tomorrow but as it's the day before weigh in, I am going to control myself

Weigh in....................half a pound off :j

I have food for tomorrow lined up, not sure if it will be red or success express, will decide in the morning! OH birthday so we are having a nice meal in, just need to buy some lettuce leaves to go with it. Also stepped out of my comfort zone and bought Alpen light bars so that I can vary my HEB. Just hope they taste ok!!

Thanks for being there for me over the last few days, feeling much better today

Alpen light bars are okay. What flavour did you get? I prefer the choc ones but can eat the others.

Enjoy your meal
