Thanks guys. Have packed some Alpen Lights and some v low fat sausages (as there is a kitchen in the apartment). I think brekkie will be ok. I generally don't need lunch on holiday as usually too hot, but will put some Mug Shots in the bag for when I want it. It will be the evenings that...

Hi all, I hate to rub it in, but I am off to Phuket tomorrow for 2 weeks. Really looking forward to it, but don't want to undo all my good work. I don't expect to lose weight, but it would be great not to put any on. Any tips? We are self catering, but expect to eat out for evening meals...

Seems some of you beat me to it - but I agree with the app idea - that would be great.

Have tried both, and now I'm into SW and wouldn't go back to WW. This is a plan for life and feels the closest thing to being "normal", especially with the new extra easy plan. This is something I feel I can sustain as a way of life, without feeling I am missing out on too much.

Hi, After 2 disappointing weeks of weight gain - went back to week 1 basics. Weighed and measured everything that was not free - it's surprising how much i had been getting wrong by guestimating! Result lost 1.5lb - so v pleased to be back on track. :)

Thanx for the advice - yes drinking more water this week (easier when it is hot).

I didn't know this, but just checked my book and there are no orange pages! Is this because my book started in July 09? Do I need a new book?

Just thinking about lunch - have not had my HB yet, so think will make a chicken salad sandwich, with some vlf mayo (1 syn), followed by a muller or ww yogurt. Dinner tonight is spag bol, with some veg on the side - am having an EE day (as usual). My HA is used on my milk in coffee (measured...

Thanks for your support guys. Yesterday went well, and I managed a day with just 3.5 syns (have also decided to keep my syns at a max of 5 per day to see if that has any impact). It is now 12.30pm on day 2 and so far no syns.

It will amaze you, but yes, you can eat as much free food as you want! I think the psychology behind it is that if this food is not restricted, we will be less likely to pig out on it!!! Therefore just knowing you can have more when you like makes you stick to reasonable portions. However, if...

Hi all, Have just had weekly weigh in and am 1lb up! I wouldn't mind but I had a week of being completely on plan! I was also up 1/2lb last week after being on plan!!!:confused: I nearly didn't stay to group as I was so upset, and even cried :cry: (very embarrassing), but did stay and glad...

I don't see why not, provided today is an EE day as well. Enjoy!

I agree with the drinking to stop hunger - as well as water, I like my tea and coffee and use my HA milk allowance for this. Sometimes a hot drink is more satisfying than just water. I also keep a good stock of syn free yogurts for when I feel hungry - you don't just need to stick to Muller...

Back again - made this for first time with couscous base. Couscous is free on green and extra easy days. Was yummy, and hubbie loved it too, so will definately make it again. Thanks for the idea.

I like to save my milk for coffee and tea, so i put a free yog on my cereal. I mostly have all bran - you can have 42g of this so more than most other cereals. It is rubbish with milk, but nice with a fruity yog. I mix it with a yog, then chop in a banana, or throw in some raspberries. This...

That's gone - it's past - forget it and move on - all is not lost. Be ready for the next time you feel that way - look at some of the recipies on this sight for syn free or low syn goodies. For example, I found syn free ice cream on this site, and it is delicious. I also found syn free lemon...

Hi Ian - what a fantastic story......you are an inspiration to all men wanting to lose weight .....and I say that as a woman!

This sounds great - am going to try it - thanks. How about adding a base for 2 syns - here goes - you cann do this a couscous cake alone or add as a base to this. 200ml boiling water with 4oz couscous (stand for 5 mins then add rest of ingredients). Add 4tbsp lc sweetener, 2 beaten eggs, 1...

There's lots of good advice here - but I'll add mine as well. I know exactly how you feel - this happened to me a few weeks ago, and I thought about leaving the group, but stayed and then cried when it came to my turn!!! Felt really embarrassed, but then others reminded me how they cried at...

I wouldn't have had that Burger King when i missed my train and had to kill time waiting for the next!! Just found out it was 31 syns!!!!
