    Hi everyone, I thought I would have a red day today, on Sundays my husband always cooks the lunch and unless I tell him what I can’t have he will put a bit of everything on my plate, and my syn is I can’t help eating it he is such a good cook!!!!
    He called an hour back, Lunch is ready love come and have it.:j
    There it was on the table begging for me to eat it, Lamb & mint sauce, Spring cabbage, Carrots, MUSHY PEAS and TWO small ROAST POTATOES. I just could not remove the peas & potatoes from my plate, so I had to syn them, but Oh did I enjoy my lunch I ate every bit.:T
    I wish sometimes I had a little bit more self control.:rolleyes:

    Sounds lovely Bubsy - you may have to share your husband with the rest of us. If I don't cook in my house I don't eat. Actually, it's not the cooking that's a pain - it's the washing up for me. I hate it.

    Hi everyone

    I have some small multipack bars of dairy milk which I bought to see me through the Moonwalk last week. Didn't count them then, as I figured the walking would balance out, but now the ones that are left are talking to me and I do feel like a Sunday afternoon treat.

    Does anybody know the points please? They are 39/40g each.

    Thanks in advance, and I hope everyone's having a good weekend. So far so dry here......

    Hi piggybanker I have just checked the food diary I could only find the 49g bar of dairy milk chocolate and they are 13 syns each :eek: on the red & green plan

    Thanks very much Bubsy. I guess they'll be going into the office on Tuesday then! My colleagues appear to be able to eat anything and everything.

    Hi everyone

    I've had a 'here and there' day today. Not much eaten and not particularly good stuff either.

    B'fast was 3 scrambled eggs and baked beans on 2 slices of nimble (HEB)

    I had one of those Ribena things that are like a calippo earlier. I couldn't find that on syns online. Do you reckon I should just count it as 5, same as a calippo? :confused:

    I've just had 'dinner' which was a packet of chinese savoury rice and half a tub of cottage cheese. Not very exciting but minimal effort and free :o

    Oh, and I had a light alpen bar that I found in my handbag this afternoon (half a HEB)

    I'm looking a bit short of HEA at the moment... Although I have had a cup of tea and a cappuccino and sugar (1 syn).

    I will try and eat some fruit later as I know I have been rubbish on this front today.

    I'm tired and a bit 'can't be bothered' for some reason...

    I have had really stressful and busy day, so food not going well.

    2 x Alpen light bars (HEB) and 2 bananas

    2 bananas

    Did cook a salmon and broccoli pie but it tasted awful so left it and had a pack of crisps at 6.5 syns.

    About to go looking for a nice balanced dinner to redeem myself! Need to fit in another [strike]HEB and[/strike] 1 HEA.

    2 more alpen bars whilst I wait for food oops.
  • Is anyone doing Weightwatchers? I am following the points but not going to the classes - is it a £5 a time - I just can't face paying that much! I have lost 6.5lbs so far but have 2 stone to go!! My goodness!
    In it to win it!

    Evening Everyone!!

    Well I have been sticking to the plan without fail!! Go me! I've tried some new recipes, not all were fab, the potato based pizza needs some work... like NOT using the 6 large potato's it tells you to.

    But I am making sure that I am not hungry and I am enjoying everything I am eating which is a really nice change.

    Hope everyone is doing ok

    I haven't stuck to it today....again.....:rolleyes:

    I was doing sooo well this week too, and I was feeling like I had lost a bit. My skirt is falling down even more than usual anyway! :rotfl:


    I had a lovely healthy dinner - tuna steak, cabbage, carrots, sweetcorn, peas and sweet potato mash (guess who had some odds and ends of veg to use up!), but then I ate biscuits and drank margueritas.

    I WILL stick to it tomorrow....I will I tell you. :o
