Thank you I just need to convert that to syns for Slimming World x

Could someone help me with syn value for a Large Hot Chocolate with skimmed milk?

Just found these and I love them does anyone know the syn value please. I think they may be 6 but I want to be sure I've got the correct amount. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi Everyone glad to say on Thursday I reached target having lost a total of 2 stone 8 lbs!! I will continue to go to class to keep myself in line but won't feel any pressure if I fluctuate the 3 lbs I'm allowed, it will give the flexibility to give me the weekends off and stay on the plan in the...

Yeah that's the spirit you WILL achieve your aim, you know you can do this :)

I think you should have got a certificate. Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Great news. Onwards and upwards!

Don't worry about you may well have a big loss next week, the important thing is staying on track and if you don't, getting right back on it again. Don't give up the alternative is just not worth it :)

1 lb off for me today only 6 lbs to go :) Good luck to everyone else weighing in today!

Don't worry about it you will probably lose it next week and more! We all have these blips :sigh:

Well done you! You must be over the moon :D

Weighed in today with a 1.5 lb loss :)

I'm exactly the same glad it's not just me. Lets hope we're both back on track next week!

Well done :D What an achievement.

Thats fantastic news, working for the NHS I have seen a few people fitted with these, they completely transform your life, good luck :)

1.5 lbs lost today reached my 2 stone!

Thats great news I'm a great believer in fate so it's meant to be :family2:

Don't be silly we never ignore anyone on here. We're here to offload very often things we don't/can't tell close ones for whatever reason. You can moan/offload to virtual 'strangers' and feel much better. I hope you have a great day, keep coming back :)

Enjoy your coffee :). Where are you going for your holidays?

1.5 lb lost this week, seems to be a bit of a trend now. Would love to get 2 lb but to be fair for the past month I haven't been able to stay on the plan fully so I can't complain. Every weekend I have been away so have strayed due to meals out but gone straight back on it on the Monday so I...

At least you've drawn a line under it so no problem there :) How upsetting for him, I really hope he manages it on the next one. Does he actually have a problem with his knee or is there a chance it was just a one-off, I really hope so?

I know its no consolation but I bet you lose 'double' next week, happened to me before ;)

It could be because you have 'saved' your sins. It was never recommended for you to 'save' all your syns for one go but that was the recommendation 10 or so years ago, perhaps the view has changed but I still stick to that. Sometimes I go slightly over but I don't worry about that and just carry...

Lost 1.5 lb this week, still going downward.

Don't get disheartened the plan will work it's just finding the one that suits you. As I said I have learnt that the way for me to go is Red Days. Good luck.

I haven't quite worked out your Red day. I have always had Red Days. I only have the Pasta n Sauce made with water on a Green day (free) and I presume you are perhaps using Jacket Potato as your HE B?

Forwhat it's worth I do all red days as I never seem to lose on green days! I don't think my body tolerates carbohydrates and I love fresh bread :sigh:

Just back from WI and lost 1 lb. Pleased with that as I had been away at the weekend and when I checked my weight I had put on 2 lbs so very pleased to have got that off and another to boot :D

Well done thats absolutely brilliant :0clapper:

Lost 2lb tonight and got my 1 1/2 stone sticker as well.

You have to be careful they are not all 2 syns but generally if they are 40 cals or under they are. Some have more cals and therefore more syns.

2 lbs off for me tonight :)

Sorry to hear that hope you are oaky :cry:

Hi and welcome :) Your period may well affect your weight loss but it doesn't with everyone but at least you're prepared for it and if it does it will show a good loss next week anyway. Good luck.

Welcome back so glad you had great and obviously some lovely memories that you can always look back on them

Hi it's good that they are not rushing into a decision. Too many children get 'labelled' and are taking down the wrong route far too soon. Sometimes things need to be put in place to help the particular child and sometimes it sorts itself out with time and the right environment. Sounds like...

Just got back from WI and I've gained a lb this week. Cant complain really as I've just realised this is the first time my chart has shown a gain. I've had a weekend in London and a week in the caravan. When I got home on Sunday I went on the scales at home so that I could monitor the...

Good luck, I hope it works for you :)

Hope you have a great night out, yes I think it will feel strange but important to do it and mot lose sight of each other :)

3lbs off this week. Getting there :D

Wow Pesty love the photo :) Looking good.

Lost 3lbs this week and got my Club 10 :D Funny how I wasn't confident before I went to WI, it just goes to show. Hope all Thursday Weighers do well. We are all on the same journey, the ups sometimes the downs but we're doing it together.

No-one on here would shout at you, you know that. You just know you can't face it and that's fair enough. I now you are strong enough to keep on going and thats the main thing. Go and have a good holiday, that's what you need and come back with renewed energy and then go for it again. It's...

It's great to be able to able to look in the mirror and see someone slimmer :). Bet can't wait for your holidays:D

1/2 lb off for me after a week in Disneyland Paris. Well chuffed :D

We also have a caravan in the Borders and there are a lot of people from Sunderland and Newcastle on there I don't suppose you are one of them. It is in Kelso. Unfortunately it takes us 4 hours to get there :(

Well done, heres to the next loss :)

Well done onward and downward :)

Well done on your 2lb you are doing so well. I will have my fingers crossed for you that you get your 3lbs off next week, you deserve it :clap:

Well done that's fantastic!!!!

I think the thing that keeps us going when the loss doesn't show is trying on clothes that didn't fit and do now :)

Well done that's great, hope you get your 2lb next week as well :)

Only 1/2 lb off this week but I'm trying not to be too disappointed as I know from of old you get these blips. I shall be fine so long as the 'blip' doesn't last too long :rolleyes:

Only 1/2 lb off this week. Probably a good thing that I am having 5 days off next week due to trip to Euro Disney, hoping that when I come back and go straight back on to the plan it will give my system a jolt and and show me a loss on the scales :(

Sorry to see that, I'm sure next week you will make up for it. Sometimes you get a horrible result followed by a really good one and as of yet I can't explain why :sigh:

Sorry about that, do you know why? Sometimes we seem to get these blips but how frustrating it can be!!! Heres hoping for a loss next week :)

If its any consolation had a friend who ha a similar situation to yours and it got sorted she had the money returned to her account etc. I do hope it works out the same for you, I think it will.

Well done for coming back, thats the hard part done, now onward and downward :)

We do as well :)

Yes you will as you have the determination :)

Going in the right direction :)

That is absolutely fantastic, well done!! Hope the journey continues downward for you :)

Well done and dont put yourself down you were Slimmer of the Week and deserved it. It may have been a small class because the ones that didn't go knew they'd put weight on ;) So pat yourself on the back.

Well done thats fantastic :clap:

Try not to feel dejected, I know its easier said than done, been there and got the tee-shirt :) You're a lb lighter than you were last week.

Well done on not putting any weight on, next best thing to losing weight :)

Wow what a great result on all fronts!! You are doing fantastic x

2 lb lost so its 15lbs in total and I've got my 1 stone award. So pleased :D To everyone on here thanks for all your support it means so much to me and everyone else I'm sure, couldnt do it without you :thankyou:

Any kind of loss is good, no-one ever said it was easy and we know it isn't :sigh: Well done, keep it up

Feel free to rant at us anytime we're here to not only listen to the jubilations but the rants to. We all need to rant sometime and better to get it out of the system and start afresh again :)

That is brilliant :bliss:I am so happy for you. Well done. Keep it going you deserve it and so much more

Thank you I do hope I get it :-)

It's no fun when you are so fed up and also the trouble is that usually you don't get the best out of any plan then:sigh: if you really are not happy with your current plan perhaps you should think about swapping or perhaps it's just a blip which we all have no matter what plan we are on. Only...

2 lb off this week and Slimmer of the Week :) I am 1 lb off my stone award so hoping for that next week!

Just back from WI and I've lost 2 lb and was also Slimmer of the Week so I'm well chuffed :) Only need to lose 1 lb to get my stone award so heres hoping :) Good luck everyone

Only putting on 2.5 lbs whilst on holiday in Florida deserves a big round of applause :0clapper: Well done!

Well done on that loss. What a great boost onwards and downwards :)

If you are not confident about doing it then don't! It is important that you feel confident in what you are doing :) sometimes it's a psychological thing as well as physical you need to be positive so it's important you are happy with the plan you are following

Hope you enjoyed them :( Sometimes we just 'need' to do that, best to get it out of your system and then get straight back on the plan :)

You may be pleasantly surprised if you've been good for the rest of the week you may not register a gain, hope not :)

Well done and keep up the good work :)

See you got your sticker working :) Dont go by your own scales wait for your weigh in and hopefully you will get your reward. Weighing in between can dishearten you and take you off plan if you think it's not working. Once a week at WI is the way to go. Keep us updated we all enjoy ever ones...

Been trying to reply to this thread for over half an hour and for some reason the 'quote' option has stopped working and each reply wasn't recognised! I am playing on my new iPad so perhaps it's that though having said that I had already replied earlier with no probs. Anyway here goes, I...

I know it will be difficult but try and not think the worst. If the results show a problem, be positive. I know what you are thinking, its what we always think but it doesn't mean that you cannot be sorted. I had Ovarian Cancer 8 years ago and my surgeon told me the tumor could have burst at...

Well done you must be really chuffed :)

Don't get disheartened 1 stone off already is fantastic :) You'll get the odd week where you won't lose much and you won't understand why, you just have to keep going and the results will come.

Welcome I look forward to seeing the weight drop off you :)

Excellent, well done like I said we're on a roll :)

I am getting there another 1.5 lb off this week, so chuffed just hope I can keep it up. Hopefully I will have a lost a stone by the time I go to Euro Disney :)

Just back from WI and happy to report I've lost another 1.5 lb. Really happy about that being as had my 60th birthday weekend, well 3 days in the end as it started on the Friday afternoon. Hope everyone else does as well if not better and if you STS or have a gain, don't give up we can all do...

Do you know what, sometimes we just can't work out what's going on with our weight sometimes. Last week when I lost 2.5 lbs I had done nothing different to the weeks when I had only lost 1lb! There's no rhyme or reason to it. I bet that 3lbs has gone the next time you get on the scales, thats...

I really hope you get a good loss as you are certainly doing your bit for it :)

Hi there. I have never got my head around the EE principle, although I know it must work as so many people have good results on it. In my head I would never be able to have Steak with a Jacket Potato, to me Steak is red day, Jacket Potato is green day :( I always used to have Steak with new...

I'm sorry to read your news. Such a sad time for you and your family. Being as your Nan knows the prognosis perhaps you ought to ask if there is anything she has always wanted to do so that you can make her wishes come true while you have the time. I know when I had cancer if my treatment...

You won't do that, we wont let you :) Come on you can do this, back on track this week.

Aaw sorry your son is not well, hope he's better soon x

I am sure you will be fine, you could always tie your hands behind your back :D Good luck for the week coming.

I don't know how I managed to miss posting it on here, I am so chuffed :D

You must be pleased in the circumstances you'll have that off in no time :)

No problem you'll probably have that and more off next week :)

Its never as bad when you are expecting it. You get gutted when you have gained and have stuck to the plan all week! I'm sure you will get that off next week, don't worry about it we all do it. It may be my turn next week.

Lost 2.5 lbs well chuffed with that. Hopefully it will help in case I gain next week with my birthday celebrations

How fantastic to be at Target I remember that feeling 10 years ago :( Well done, I'm sure how you are going you will have no trouble maintaining :)

Good on you :)

Wow that's fantastic, well done you. I get weighed tonight will post back then, hope I've lost another 1lb

You'll probably catch him up in time as he may plateau and you'll keep on going steadily :)

Hope everything goes okay and let us know how you get on, you may have somehow got an infection if its hot :(

I'm sorry to hear about your arm, make sure you get it checked out at the hospital, something is going on with it so the sooner you get it seen to the sooner you will be on the mend again.

Thats is fantastic, well done you. You must be very pleased with that. You are an inspiration :clap:

Thank you so much. You and the others who take the time to post are keeping me motivated. I WILL be slim at 60 :)

Yes, thanks finally did it but it seemed a bit more difficult than I thought perhaps it because I use an Apple so sometimes the procedures aren't quite the same :)

Sorry I see you have, I see I've even replied to you. I swear I'm losing the plot sometimes :) I lose track of what groups/threads I'm watching!!

Have you joined the Thursday Weigh In group, I have joined that group as well, there's quite a lot of comradeship there between us all.

Thank you for that they were below 21g each so I was okay treating them as my HE A:)

Heres hoping :) I'm still trying to find where I can get the weight loss stickers to put against my 1/2 stone, at least its taking my mind off eating at the moment I am craving chocolate like never before. May have to have my Hi-Fi bar early.

So sorry to hear you're not well. I hope your WI goes well and you get your sticker, thats what spurs us on when we feel down :)

Sorry I should have said Slices not Triangles!!

Welcome, you are doing very well. Good luck next week :)

Fantastic loss, well done :) I'm very envious and hoping I get a loss like that one week ;)

Can anyone tell me if I have to syn these or are they HE on Red days. Cant find them in the book or online except as syns :sigh:

Well done to all of us who weigh in on Thursday. Moving on to next week :-)

1 lb off this week so have reached my 1/2 stone loss. Good luck to everyone weighing in today.

Weighed in at club and lost another lb this week so I have achieved my 1/2 stone off :) 2 lbs over 2 weeks whilst on holiday with 2 'off' days in that time. I am going to be strictly on the plan this week to ascertain whether I lose more staying on it strictly or whether the 'off day' actually...

Sorry about your arm, but it could be fate to give you the chance to get your studying done for your NVQ. Make the most of the time and then be raring to go again. At least the arm will stop you being on the plan :)

Well I did have my day off yesterday and enjoyed having a 99 cornet :) I am straight back on the plan today had my weetabix and yoghurt for breakfast and will continue with it and hope that at WI there is still a loss. Thank you so much for your kind words I sometimes people don't realise just...

As I said I am on holiday this week so couldn't go to class but I had brought my scales with me and my daughter in law and I did weigh in as normal. I have 1lb this week. Now before everyone says its a loss and better than a gain, I am disappointed I have stuck to the Plan religiously even...

Well the theory the SW consultant gave at the time was that for your body to function it needs both Fibre and Carbohydrate the more Fibre you eat on Red Days the Carbohydrate the body needs to function so has to get that from your fat stores and vice versa for Green Days. Therefore the free...

Well I went for the Pasta n Sauce made with water instead of milk, gosh I am full now!

Well done on your loss so far, that is really good you must be pleased. 8lbs in 2 weeks. I wont be at class this week as I am at our caravan in Scotland but I have brought my scales and my daughter in law and I are going to weigh in ourselves as if we were there. Luckily my scales weigh the...

Its a very large bowl of strawberries :)

Don;t let your consultants attitude ruin your desire to lose weight. I would definitely get in touch with SW this seems very unfair to me especially as we are now electronic so it is no hardship to reload the information, we have moved on from when it was on paper which would have been a lot of...

Well as some of you know I really prefer Red days and very rarely have a Green day. Well today I am having a Green day, I've had Baked Potato with baked beans for lunch. My question is I would really like to have strawberries and mullerlight yoghurt for tea but wonder if for the purpose of the...

I'm sure by the end of the week he'll have come to his senses and if he doesn't its his loss not yours. You'll be having lovely meals and he'll still be eating out of packets. Enjoy your break you are coming within 20 mins of where I live in Cheshire, you'll love Aquaworld if you haven't been...

Thats the right attitude, with that kind of thinking you'll get there.

Don't worry we all do it at some point. Put a line under it and start afresh tomorrow. You will be fine just keep on going. Good luck.

She probably didn't think it was a problem because she thought she was complimenting you. Take pride in what you've done. I do think men are different than women though on these subjects, we'd probably be dancing around. Well done you.

I take on board everything you say about boredom, but I am quite a plain eater so I'm not very adventurous but what I really want to know is there any reason why eating the same things will actually STOP the weight loss. So long as you doing the plan correctly I can't see why it should. When I...

Should have said lunch for bacon and eggs!!

Tonight I had bacon, egg (poached in pan of water), mushrooms and 2 Eat Smart sausages (1/2 syn each). Only 1 syn for the whole meal and positively yummy :) I have it quite regularly as I tend to only do Red days. For my tea I had a bowl of strawberries covered in Mullerlight yoghurt with...

Hi there, sorry to read about your holiday but you'll have a great time whatever you do with the family. You're doing great with your diet, can I ask are you doing Extra Easy, I am doing SW but I do the Original mostly red days.

Had weigh in last night and I lost 1.5lbs. I know I should be pleased as its a loss but I have to say I was slightly disappointed and a little bit worried. My worry is that next week it will drop to a lb or less weight loss and I have 2.5 stone to loose so was hoping for at least 2 lb last...

I know you can do it, you will, then you'll have the last laugh!

Oh I do hope you achieve it :)

Hope the nightmares didn't return

Sending you all good vibes :)

Just found this Forum so will post my details each week. Rejoined SW 13/05/10. Big birthday coming up so want to slim down again. Last time I did it earnest (have dabbled on and off) was when I didn't want to Fat at 50 and I lost the 3.5 stone I needed to. Now I want to be slim at 60. Left...

Weekly weigh in day - Thursdays

Need to reset ticket :sigh:

I have just rejoined SW and I seem to remember from way back there were some sausages that M & S did that were free on a Red day but I can't remember which ones they were. Can anyone help please. I used to like the Quorn one with Gruyere but that have stopped those and don't like the plain...

Does anyone know the syn value of Bake to Perfection Chunky Wild Pink Salmon Fillets with a lemon and herb butter sauce? I have given up on trying to buy the Simply Salmon in Breadcrumbs just can't find them anywhere!

I did, thanks.

Bought some Alpen Strawberry & Yoghurt Bars as that was all they had in supermarket. I don't want to eat them until I have confirmed that they are Healthy Extra B x 2. I have an inkling that perhaps they are not as it does not mention 'Light' like the ones I usually have. If they are not I...

Dont forget the important bit when you are calculating syns they are per 100g you may still need to weigh whatever it is you are eating as it may be more or less than 100g

Well done Claire glad you're still getting losses x

Well I've just come back from lunch and I had Chicken Burger with Bacon and some chips. It was lovely!! I didn't have a pudding like the others. I was going to stay on my diet like I did last week when we went out but being as that didn't make any difference I thought what the heck :(

Thank you both for taking the time to post, it means a lot to know others are rooting for you. I don't write everything down as I don't really need to, I have been on and off it for so long now. Also I am not an adventurous eater at the best of times so tend to have roughly the same things. I...

Weighed myself this morning and I am really disappointed and downhearted, I have stayed the same and it is only my 4th week. I have been good all week, never strayed once even when I went out with a meal with friends from work and they were all having lovely beefburgers, chips and trimmings - I...

Sometimes I don't know whether I'm coming or going! Seriously I read as many posts as I can to catch up with what's been going on in the group and to get any tips and obviously I hadn't noticed the date of the post when I replied. I'm putting it down to my age :)

Just read your post, how did you go on? Hope everything is okay.

I have to say I never believed what was in the press, I believe he was still a child at heart, as he never had a 'childhood' himself and thats why he related to and got on so well with children. In this world nowadays there are so many who will take advantage of an easy target like him to make...

How many sys please?

2 Weetabix is 1 Healthy Extra choice

Well it's got me beat, I wonder where I picked that up from, must have been an old post then

Thanks for that, that's great no more than the milk lollies then and they last longer!!

I think it looks great but because I don't know you personally I can't tell whether it suits your personality which is just as important :)

Are you now doing SW as your ticker says Lighter Life :confused:

Well I've been at the caravan this weekend and have eaten out at lunchtime on Saturday and Sunday but have managed to stick to the plan. Saturday I had Baked Potato and Baked Beans and for tea Pasta n Sauce made with water. Today there was a carvery so I had Roast Turkey new potatoes as my HE...

Does anyone know the syn value of these please. I usually have the Mini Milk but fancied one of these. As I am at the caravan I don't have my book with me.

Okay so you know what you've done just write that week off and start again! It's done you can't take it back so forget it and start afresh. We all fall off the wagon now and again and at least you've been honest with yourself and admitted to it. New week new you. Good luck.

Well I've changed my weigh in day to a Wednesday as I find if I ever have to have an 'off' day due to a special occasion it will be a weekend so it would give me chance to pull back if I have put on. Like last Saturday was my birthday so I had an 'off' day and put on a lb when I weighed myself...

Well done!! That's great

I don't know what to say other than I hope things turn out the way you want. I think all of us at some point in our lives have situations to deal with that we think we can't cope with but luckily 'most' of us do, I hope you are one of them :grouphugg:

But without you they couldn't cope, well done and keep up the good work. You are doing a very worthwhile job, these people deserve our help to make it in life.

Well done you must be really proud and I think that's a good time :)

I don't know if this helps but when I reached target the way I maintained was to stay on the plan Monday to Friday and at weekends have what I want. You find that way you don't go mad! I found I couldn't do the thing of introducing a bit more slowly etc as I introduced too much lol. It worked...

Thats fantastic Claire, I haven't made up my mind whether to have an 'off' day today as it's my birthday and I'm going shopping with my lovely daughter in law, her mum and my gorgeous grandson Adam and will also be eating out tonight with friends. To be honest I think I may as I don't think it...

Remedy given to me by a dentist rub on Sensodyne toothpaste it will ease the pain. Hope it goes soon.

Brilliant and inspiration to us all when we get a STS week :)

Season Ticket Holder at United - and proud of it but glad he's gone, brilliant footballer but we can do without him and his antics.

Better than 0.5lb on. Well done - a loss is a loss :)

Well done, keep it up. I had 2nd weigh in today and lost 2 lbs giving me half a stone in 2 weeks so I'm a happy bunny at the minute. Good luck to everyone this week, keep us all informed.

Well I am so relieved I have lost my target of 2 lbs so made my half a stone. The putting on and taking off of the 1 lb will remain a mystery. You know what I don't care at this moment in time :). Good luck to everyone who has a weigh in today, hope you have good news like me. Let's all keep...

I think I had the same problem last time and I am dreading that it might happen again this time. Lost 5 lbs last Monday my first weigh in since starting but I am dreading tomorrow as its not looking good :cry:

I just whisk the powder into Fromage Frais and then put into 4 dishes so it works out at 1 syn per dish. Just like Choc Mousse.

Choc and Orange were my favourite, I miss them as I don't go to class I cant get hold of any

Well I need to weigh in again tomorrow, I am not hopefull as I said in another thread, I was pleased that by Thursday jsut gone I had lost 2 lbs so in effect reached my half stone. Then on Friday I had put a lb back which if it stays the same I will have only lost a lb. I was hoping for more...

Thanks for that I'll have a go now

I have set up a Weight Loss Diary, but I would like to keep the diary but be able to change the Title so it is relevant more to the time I am posting and people are aware that it has been updated. I am sure I have seen some Diaries where the Title is changed whilst keeping the same diaries. I...

I hope it all goes as well as can be expected and keep up the good work.

Yes I know that's right and I vowed I wouldn't weigh myself every day which was what I got hooked into doing last time!! I started off okay at first and at my first weigh in on Monday as you'd see from my diary I had lost 5lbs very pleased with that. I knew it would drop from now on but...

Does anyone know the syn value of Cup Noodles Thai Spice Satay Style 90g made by Tiger Tiger Less than 5% fat. Someone in the office reckons they work out about 5 syns but I'm sceptical

I know she'll keep going as we have a pact:character00255:

I went in on Sunday and bought some and they were £1.65 a pack :sigh:

Unfortunately I don't know anyone who goes to classes :cry:

Believe me Hi Fi Choc/Orange bars are sooooooo good, wish I could still get them, Aplen Light don't come close for me

Brilliant news!

Oh I'm so sorry, don't give up hope though, hopefully it will happen for you. :grouphugg:

I have bought some Dessert Recipe Yoghurts 4 pack. Now I believe from reading on here that the Toffee Apple ones are half a syn. Are the other 3 free, Strawberry Tart, Raspberry Tart and Lemon Cheesecake? Don't want to think I'm eating something free when it isn't :confused:

Better update my ticker :D

I'm back and determined to get there this time -1st week update Well I've weighed myself today and I have lost 5lbs!! Very pleased but I am well aware it won't be the same next week, if I get 2lbs I will be happy. Hope it doesn't just go to 1lb each week from now on :)

Well I hope I did because I've ate them now:D

From a medical point of view you should have at least had blood tests and your blood pressure checked correctly to ascertain the stage you are at now. I find the attitude of your doctor extremely arrogant and totally lacking support. If I were you I would go back and see a different doctor...

I don't think I'll be having them then just too many syns in one go for me :cry:

I'd definitely do Red Days, but to be fair I don't know anything about Extra Easy because that wasn't around when I was going to the Club :)

We're with you all the way ;)

Good luck to us all, I have just restarted on the Slimming World road but I am doing it on my own, well not exactly on my own because I have all of you!

Sainsburys Taste the Difference Maris Piper Potatoes Roasted in Goose Fat (Page 259) Red Day 450g 22.5 syns Wanted to know the value of 1g so that I could weigh a potato and work out how many syns to have 1 or 2 depending on syns with my lunch:- 22.5 divided by 450 gives me 0.05 so I reckon...

Can anyone tell me if I have got the syns right for this, I think according to my book it is 3 syns.

I've done it before so I should be able to do it again. The support on here I think will make all the difference, reading about other people on the same journey, spurs you on. Even though I've not been doing the plan for a while Claire I have been following your progress and 'Well done you' :)

Yes, hopefully I am in the right frame of mind, which is so important and really want to do it. Need to read all my books again and find out what I can and can't have realistically as treats. I am pretty clued up on the food situation but I always crave a bit of chocolate etc. I don't drink...

Started again last Monday, weighed in at 169lbs and determined to reach my goal of 133lbs this time. I've done it before so there is no reason I can't do it again. I lost heart while doing it last time in January but I am going to be more determined this time. I am usually okay at the start...

Haven't been on here for a while :( I completely gave up and ended up putting on more weight, not too much but a 1lb more than where I started at last time! Well I am not going to give up this time I weighed myself last Monday and will weigh myself again next Monday and update my diary and...

So very sad. She became a person that we all got to know and understood her so much better. She may not have been articulate with her words and very often came over the wrong way, but I believe that there wasn't a bad bone in her body and had a heart of gold. Her love for her boys shone...

I will keep my fingers crossed for you and hope you are one of the lucky ones that is blessed with a child. Nothing in this life compares with that (in my opinion anyway)!! As you can probably tell my 'name' I am a Nan to a beautiful little boy who I love dearly :)

Well done and stay around to make sure you keep on track :) Enjoy the new you!!

Yes. Also don't forget that there are a lot of 'bugs' around at the moment and it may of course have nothing to do with your diet. Keep on going and good luck

Unfortunately I'm one of those people who only have to look at bread and put on weight so I stay clear of it :o

All the other varieties are £1.98 but for some reason the Choc and Orange have always been cheaper and that's great for me because they are my favourite :)

They used to be £1.48 for 6 in our Tesco a couple of weeks ago. They have now gone up to £1.62 but at least they still had 6 in the box.

Its really hard when you've been so good to only lose a lb especially if some people were at weigh in having said they'd not had a good week but have lost more!! Been there and got the tee-shirt. Just bear in mind that when they start only losing a lb a lot of them give up because they have...

Choc and Orange are the ones I like!!

Get yourself some Options plenty of varieties and only 2 syns per sachet!!

I've know a couple of people for whom it just didn't work but nobody knew why. Whatever you decide to do I wish you all the best.

I think having an off day works when your body gets in a rut. Let us know how you get on. When I did my 'off day' thing I made sure that I ate things which I wouldn't normally (too many syns etc) but didn't pig out just made sure they weren't things that I was normally eating within the plan...

I had fish finger sandwiches as well and chips & mushy peas, but mine was intentional. I have found that so long as I go straight back on the plan I can still lose a lb. I did that last week as I had been staying the same when I stuck rigidly to the plan and because I'd only been doing it a...

So am I. LOL

Most people will weigh on average 3 lbs lighter in the morning than the evening.

Oh I'm really sorry about that :cry: Nothing that I can say apart from as low as you are feeling which is natural, don't let it derail your motivation, I am sure your Great Aunt would not want that. One of my problems is that when I'm down I comfort eat usually chocolate! Keep your chin up...

Hello and good luck

This is the right time - your time x

Please don't throw away all the good work you've done!! I know how easy it is to comfort eat but you'll be gutted later. Hang in there.

No you shouldn't feel any pain after the normal healing time - the pain before it is bad enough!

Years ago when that happened to me I remember going to the Jewellers and there was some sort of clip that they put on the inside of the ring and then I had resized later when I was happy that I had stopped losing weight.

Who makes it?

Why are you not happy about your jeans falling off you :confused: I'd be ecstatic if my clothes were falling off me :)

I must remember to try that :)

Well at least a few people have made positive comments about my hair so that is something

Might try these can you tell me how many sins they are. Don't really like the quorn ones.

I love them

You'll be fine, gone are the days when everyone at the gym is like a stick and posing :) Most people going there are either trying to lose weight or keep it off. Good luck you will enjoy it once you get into it.

I think a stone since September is really good especially as you've been doing it so long. You've both done really well. I do think that sometimes your body does get used to what you are doing and you need to shake it up or perhaps have a few days off the plan and then go back on again. Just...

I think the trouble is that having done it before and lost well each week until I got near target thats why I am finding it harder not losing now. Though the first time I did it was about 15 years ago and I believe it is easier to lose the younger you are. I kept it off for a long while and...

I didn't know the Strawberry ones weren't free?

I love those too, they really fill you up :)

Well done that's absolutely brilliant. You're well on he way now. Keep it up and good luck. :553:

Thank you it's great to know you're not the only one :(

Thank you I'll have a look
