Thread: North Easties

Hi, just seen the link to the group. I live in Prudhoe, Northumberland, and tonight is my weigh night, after a WHOPPING gain over Christmas. Its a start again job! Re: the Smash pizza bases, we were told in our group that we had to syn them, as they were being used in a different way than they were intended for, like you have to syn cous cous if its in a cake! Seems a bit mad to me

I don't get that...? That's ridiculous... Well i'm going to count them as Syn Free until I get officially told otherwise...

That's like counting Beans as Syns using them in soups, cakes, pate etc because that's not their original intended way of eating...

MADNESS...!!!

oh yeeea i heard about that. same with fruit juices and smoothies...like if you smoothy fruit up into mush you have to point it cos its easier to digest or something and it makes it more calories or sugar or...blah blah i cant remember xD

i didnt know that about the smash though :O damn!

@Brothers -yea im a serial dieter aswell tbh xD a rerererererererestarter! done WW, Cambridge, SW eeerm...and stupid ones like cabbage soup (vomit) SW is defo the best so far!

im glad you pizza worked jo! my sis made something else today which was MAD nice! its like... a curry loaf...it sounds weird and gross i know. but its like a tin of asda chickpea curry mixed up with some like packet chicken flavour rice then baked in a bread tin when it comes out it cuts like break and is kiiinda like onion bhaji but more chickpeaish.

if anyone wants the recipe ill get it proper off my sis but its meant to be a picky savoury snack and its omnomnom!

its my first day back at work tomorrow and im not prepared at all! might have to nip home and whip up a pasta in sauce >< doh. i truly believe the worst thing you can be on SW is unprepared xD

why are my posts always epicly long!

Forgot my lunch today! Have 2 bananas and an Alpen in my draw...... PANIC!

If you ate ten oranges you'd feel full. If you juiced them you'd get less than a pint of liquid, and that wouldn't fill you for very long at all so the juice is synned. The food abuse rules are often based around how filling the food is, and how likely you are to not pick at more food later.

That being said, if smash pizza fills you I'd not be worried about synning the base, but thats just me.

First karate lesson tonight. Absolutely terrified lol!!!

I'm going to ask about the Pizza Bases at group tomorrow night and see what our Almighty Leader says...

Cabbage Soup Diet...? I think I might throw up at the thought of that...

Yeah let us know! I've use if for a Quiche base too

Just text our Almighty Leader to see what she says... As soon as I get a reply I'll let you know...

Right, official line is that we have to Syn it... Very mad if you ask me but it can't be many Syns though...

Anyone know the Syn value...?

well thats rubbish... i saw 3 syns somewhere but not sure how much that is for...

anyone know teh syns for low fat super noodles, chilli chicken?

Free I think

i typed a whole massive reply to all of this earlier at work then broke the page on my phone lol i am rubbish!

i love the term food abuse xDDD thats just amazing

yea its disappointing on the smash bases : ( but oh well they are still much less syns than even half a frozen pizza so its all good! (well im saying that i dont actually know what the syn value is once its been abused)

need to dig out my bloody SW books since i wont get access to the site until monday!

ive had nothing all day been starving but so terrified of cheating that decided starvation was the best tactic lol i am to eat a bottomless bowl of free risotto now until i puke

let us know how karate went aesir! i did it when i was a tiny child and it was pretty cool. i think the most fun part is just aspiring to get the next colour belt XD haha

Dont know if anyone on here has tried it, but the tinned Vegetable Chilli from Asda is lovely. It is syn free (was in the last magazine)). How is everyone liking the new books? I was suprised there were so many changes in the healthy extras

oooh new books! i didnt know i havent been to my new meeting yet since after xmas! will get all the stuff on monday coming! exciting! god im probably doing this totally wrong so far lol

the asda chickpea tinned curry is nice too! i might give that chilli a go would be soooo convenient on toast or in a potato for lunch! even as a quick fix tea

i shall add that too my shopping list
