So that's my main focus this week, to...

    Does anyone know how many syns this cake is altogether? If it serves 10 and each slice is 6.5 is that just 65 syns? I've used sweetener instead of caster sugar, will that lower the syns a bit? It's just finished cooking and now cooling in the oven, can't wait to try it!

    It's the only one I've done and got my half stone yesterday after 3 weeks of SW. I think like Victoria Said, because I've never known any different with the HEXs I don't miss them. I've cut out bread totally and don't miss it......yet!

    Yay first half stone!

    Had my weigh in this morning and I've lost another 1.5lbs this week, totalling 7lbs in 3 weeks! Am pleased :D and because I'm doing EE the consultant asked me to give an example day of food infront of the class as most of them have never tried it. Still lovin it!

    She said she wants to take her new puppy to her mate's house, so not sure on the weigh in score! I'm going to go to the morning class tomorrow anyway now seeing as I'm off work, think I'll walk there and back too, get my exercise for the day. I bet she'll decide she is going now I've told her...

    If we miss a week

    Ooh thanks for that, I've let her know now. How did you find this out btw? It now makes sense why so many people go for just being weighed, if they are going out etc.
  61. clare82

    If we miss a week

    What happens if you miss a week at group in terms of weigh ins? Just wondered because my friend that started coming with me isn't going tomorrow night with me. I don't think I'd like to miss a week unless I really had to, ill/on holiday etc.
