    Loving the 238.5 syns (obviously it was the .5 that was the killer!!)

    Rugbymum - draw a line under it and move on - if you think about it, had you had both your HEB's and HEA's? That might knock out the cereal and even if you had a piece of christmas cake, I can't see any other syns in the day, so I don't think it will be that bad.

    Well, food today:

    B: syn free sausages and beans
    L: not sure, possibly SW chips and beans
    D: Bolognaise made in the SW with pasta

    Probably have porridge mid afternoon as my HEA and HEB.

    Today is a new day - we can do it!

    Love

    Morning Marion.
    You are so right. Today is a new day.
    Evenings are my weak point. They always have been. OH wants me to quit smoking as well. I don't know if I can give up food & fags at the same time!:D . I tend to go in the garden for a few puffs when the urge to eat hits.
    I have been ruthlessly forcing everyone in the house to eat anything vaguely Christmassy. There is only 1/4 of the Christmas cake & 1 slice Linzer Torte left.
    I have no idea why I ate the cereal. It's lovely & all but why???????
    Fingers crossed for a better day today.

    Thank you SOOOOO much.
    I didn't have either any HEB and only 1 HEA. I am allowed 2 of those so I guess it really could have been worse. You're right I didn't have any other syns.

    I have tried to work out everyones losses so far and put them as a carried forward figure together with adding new starters.

    Existing people can you just have a look and check that I have posted your losses to date correctly. Anything that you need changing just PM me:D

    Anyone new wishing to be added just let me know:cool:

    Lets get those losses rolling in:T
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    oooh, I look like such a skinny mini if I only have a target of 28 pounds :rotfl: , but the reality is, it's my first target of many :rolleyes: The overall target is too scary to even contemplate :o

    Well you are approaching it in the right way for you then, breaking it into managable amounts.:)

    BB can I be a pain and ask which spices you would use to make an egg fried rice really tasty?
