Ah, sorry. I haven't tried to order any recently so I'm a bit out of touch. Last I heard was about a month ago when it was still unavailable.

Personally, I can't stand the stuff, but there are some nice recipes using it so it's not all bad.

thats what we call it in group too, no one ever calls it by its real name and we possibly put new members off from buying it

Spud - if there is any scan bran at tonights meeting I will get you some and send you some over. I will let you know tonight and if I get some I will PM you. I will also try to make the scan bran cake (well DD did want a cake for her birthday!:rotfl: ).

I don't hold out much hope for losing weight at tonights meeting as I have weighed myself this morning and I am the same as last week. I am trying not to be too disappointed. I haven't followed the SW philosophy to the letter and perhaps I ought to try a bit harder this week. I think you need to be organised and its hard when you work full time are essentially a single parent for 80% of the week and no-one eats what you want to eat.

I would have thought that cutting down the drinking, eating about 90% less chocolate and exercising regularly would have had SOME effect! Oh well, I guess it took about 13 years to put on the extra 30lbs I really shouldn't expect to lose it overnight. I shall go for the slow but final weight loss rather than the quick fix!

I am full of excuses as to why I can't stick to a diet!

And as I am trying to do it properly can anyone tell me how many syns are in an Asda Chorizo and Italian sundried tomato sauce. I can't get on the SW website as I don't know the password this week.

It is a 300g pack - for every 100g there is 70kcal, 4.1g protein, carbs 4.5g Fat 4.0g of which saturates 0.9g, fibre 0.8g

If anyone could let me know it might stop me committing a SYN!

PS On a green day -planning on having the sauce with spaghetti!
