    Syns in a Costa skinny hazelnut latte - have I done this right?

    Because you can work out how many calories are in the syrup if you compare the calories in a plain latte and syn those , and any remaining calories are in the milk?

    The Jillian Michaels Method.

    Why not try one plan for a couple of weeks or so, and then the other one? :)
  3. Stitchy

    Confused about calories...

    If you're using MFP, you could always go by what that says for the amount you want to lose per week, and then make sure that you're eating at least some of your exercise calories back (maybe half or so?) :)

    Syns-wise it's fine, but I really think you should eat more :) Oh, and you haven't had a HEX B?

    Healthy VS not so healthy calories..

    Don't buy loads of things that you don't like. Maybe try buying one thing a week and trying a bit every day. Say you don't like cucumber - buy one and have a slice every day or at every meal. That way, you get to try new things and hopefully find new healthy things to eat, without completely...

    Ideas for wholegrain pasta..

    Maybe a teaspoon of olive oil (obviously has quite a few cals, hence a teaspoon ;) ), a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, and some herbs? Maybe adding some veg would make it less dry?

    So I didn't quite finish this - but I made it to Level 3 Day 4, before I went away for Christmas. Level 3 was so boring.... I'm now also the proud owner of Jillian Michaels' Six Week Six Pack and will own Ripped in 30 too - time for some new challenges? :P

    I put on 2lb :o - I fully blame hubby for taking me around the German market, and having an Indian takeaway the evening before WI. I spent most of the week weighing in at around 10st 3 or 10st 4 (which would have been a 1lb or 2lb loss) - and then WIed in at 10st 7 this morning. D'oh. At least...

    Yes, weight loss on SW is slower compared to other diets, but think of the positives: 1. It allows you to eat anything you want, in moderation 2. It's a healthy eating plan that you can follow for life 3. By saying that you that you can eat something until you're satisfied, it teaches you to...
