Woo hoo! I'm chuffed to bits for you hun!

Well done!!!!

OMG! That menu looks amazing!!!

Well for a start it's going to be impossible to count the syns so I would recommend going for a flexi day. This means you give yourself a mental allowance of, eg, 40 syns and you keep within this whilst still having your daily syns either side. SW recommend having your syns daily so you don't feel deprived, however, I frequently tighten the syn belt on a Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday after a weekend

You can always choose something from the menu and ask them to serve without the added sauce/dressing or have a little bit on the side.

Just avoid the creamy sauces and aim for something without any extras added, eg, the lamb, fish or a steak.

Most of all - enjoy!

Sorry you're feeling poorly - hope you're better by Saturday - looks like a good night to be had, hope you really enjoy it
Agree with Ali - have a flexi day, enjoy it try and avoid creamy or cheesy sauces if you want to be 'sort of good' - if you feel you want to, ask for any dressings to be served separately and veg not to be cooked in butter

Well done on the 2lbs - greatstuff
