Hi, not quite sure how this will work but have seen so many food diaries on here that it must help! So here goes...

I initially had 4 stone to lose last year and managed to shift 2 stone in a couple of months doing slimming world from home (I can't go to or afford the group at the minute). Now I'm ready to lose the rest but it just doesn't seem to be working as well for me this time! Probably because I keep having the odd 'day off'! I can't seem to get below 11st. My target is 9.7lb but would be extra happy with 9 :p x

My latest attempt started Monday, day 1 went well but last night ended up having fish and chips for tea and raiding the chocolate tin! So now feeling a little annoyed with myself! :mad:

Anyway will post again with a diary, not sure if anyone will read it but I'll have a go!

Jimjam its liquid chocolate that you add to milk to make hot choc but its made from natural ingredients like fruit, very nice and only 13 cals per tsp so 0.5 syn, I had banana greek yog and a tsp of choc shot and it was like a banana choc desert :) my kids ate most of mine :p

Sammie I like bombay mix too, have you tried roasting chickpeas with spices (think I used cayenne pepper) tastes just like bombay mix and syn free!

Also, didn't end up having any chocolate as went to bed really early so only had 4.5 syns :eek: definitely not like me!

How are you ladies doing? Do you have diaries?

Thanks zafira :) I like to reserve most of my syns for chocolate! Yeah the choc shot is nice, need quite a bit to make hot chocolate but its nice on yoghurt. They also make sweet freedom which I sometimes use instead of honey only 0.5syns per tsp
