    Well, first weigh in of my 10 week holiday challenge and I've lost 6 pounds.

    Now, with what I ate, Ishouldn't have lost 6 pounds but last Wednesday was 3/4 days before start of TOTM so I think I possibly hit it lucky with my starting weight because I think most of it was water retention.

    However, I'm seeing it as a good start and now have 9 weeks to lose 14 pounds.

    I'll worry about the other 100 I need to lose after that..........:rolleyes:

    the savoury rice is free on a green.

    Gnocchi isn't generally - it contains flour, I've never seen a branded one which is free either.

    This recipe for gnocchi with a tomato sauce is (if my maths is right) 35 syns for 4 portions, so 8.5 syns per portion.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/basilgnocchiwithsimp_74596.shtml

    Every ingredient is free on a Green day apart from the flour which is 5 syns per ounce, so 7x5 = 35syns.

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    ta spud...........like I say though I think it was all water related. The big test will be the coming week. It's still 1.5 pounds a week each week to get to my challenge target.

    Well done on the hour a day on the cross trainer. I'm sat here looking at mine, cant remember the last time I used it :o

    The hips are way beyond thinking about unfortunately, but luckily I dont have anything remotely cakey in the house :rolleyes:
