We need to know what type of food it is, if it has no free food allowance it will be 1syn per 20cals. If it does you will need to use the online syns call ( or if someone else can do it for you, I don't have membership) x

Afternoon all. Having the day from hell and just want to curl up with a take away, taking all the willpower in the world not to. Just ordered my week's shopping for delivery tomorrow, so I'm stuck scraping through whats left in the cupboards to put a vaguely on-plan meal together.

Need to find my happy place and can't have tea as I don't have any sweeteners!

Ch....they are chicken mcbites. Stuck on traffic on the m5. Everyone else has had a meal. I just had them......and I'm starving! I sense the chicken will not be classed as 'free' ;-) xxx

Thanks!!

i would probably use the 1syn=20 cals rule for that worst case senario then is 9 syns

 

[Franalamadingdong]

ok, and what's the portion size roughly (in grams)

Hi Jenstar

I made a parsnip, carrot, onion potatoe and a chicken stock cube it was yummy.

So after all my deliberating over the syns in a chippy tea, I decided I'd just buy the bits from Tesco and flexi syn it when I got home. It came to a total of 7.5 syns..! I can't be naughty even when I try!

Tesco Crispy Chicken fillet - 5.5 syns
200g McCains Rustic Oven Chips - 2 syns

I'm thrilled of course - it feels like it should be much worse for me! I'm going to use another 5 syns for full fat mayo.

I had such a long day at work. I went into meltdown a bit over my job application which has to be in tomorrow. The OH has been absolutely brilliant and is just being cheery and looking after me. Ready for my 'naughty' dinner and something mindless on TV!

Bless you Emily! Silent witness is on tonight. Got a programme on about "queen" Matilda and doing some needle felting. I'm so cool.

Hi everyone!!

Hope you are all having good days? I have been 100% again today, and really enjoyed it! Feeling so good about the diet, ending today on around 8 syns, and have drank over 2.5l of water today too!

Xx

 

[Franalamadingdong]

Oh well done Laura hun

 

[CH2b]

Well the brothers gf who was supposedly going to diet after new year has just bought a toblerone chocolate cake thing :/ i see its going really well for her lol makes me feel really good about the fact i have willpower and they clearly dont!

 

[camz]

AND I've moved the scales into the spare room and not serial weighed in 2 days!! I'm baaaaack!! :-D xxx

 

[Franalamadingdong]

Ah the lure of the cake is a strong one christie. I've a few friends that have joined/rejoined this year fingers crossed they'll all do well

Yay laura! Let's see (haha, I typed "wee") if we can both stay away from the scales this week. It so means if you weigh I get to weigh too!

 

[sammyb1985]

Hi ladies! How are you all doing?

Welcome newbies!

Mandy, so lovely to see you back!

Sorry not been on in a couple of days, time just seems to be getting away from me somehow and I feel like i'm busy all the time though I don't know what i'm doing to be so busy! Don't know what i'll do when i'm back at work in 2 weeks not looking forward to it at all!

Well it's been a 100% week this week so far, have done a couple of days success express as I want my next award before i'm back at work so that I can say i've lost 5 and a half stone since i was last there! Have stuck to my syns each day (I now have a massive old biscuit tin full to the brim of chocolate so I have lots of choice on an evening) but i've had my syns today so i'm sat here eating gherkins and a cheeky weigh in on the wii is showing promising results! I just have to get through eating out tomorrow night, saturday lunch and going to middlesbrough sunday to monday and eating out there too!!! i'll be coming home from middlesbrough straight to weigh in, so that should be fun! (and another hectic day!) xx
