Thanks ellejay. Starting to feel a bit more positive now, I think I'm over the initial disappointment.

I haven't used butter or spread at all, or had any bread or extra treats with dinner either x

Are you using any syns?

Are you using any syns?

Not really, I don't use any all week and then have between 10 and 15 on a Sunday. I haven't used my hex either so think this is the problem. I've started a food diary to try and see where I'm going wrong!

You are meant to use at least 5 syns a day, your body needs the little treats and use your hex as you are allowed them for a reason, your body needs the calcium and the fibre, try it and see how you go. Also don't be disheartened you only lost 1lb, it's a good steady weight loss.

Thank you, I'm feeling really positive about the week ahead x

oooh never reject your syns... if you convert to cals ( i know shun me haha) its only 300calories so even throughout the whole week thats not even a lb on.. so just eat and enjoy them you're less likely to binge!

I haven't binged at all though which is why I don't really understand it. I know it's only 300 calories but it takes me 40 minutes of spin every day to burn that off so it feels really pointless working out so much if I'm just going to undo it all when I don't really need to? Think I'm just struggling to get my head around it still because I was on such a stick diet when I lost the bulk of my weight and some of the principles are quite tough to adjust to... x

I did let it set for about 2 hours in the fridge but it says you don't have to and ill admit,because of the quar k consistency, it didn't make much difference.

Second part tonight

You could use hifi bars. Just make sure to syn them if they aren't your hex that day. 2 syns per sachet of options too.

Melt the bars slightly in the microwave - 1 minute. Then put the mix in bowls as the base for your cheesecake. I had two ramekins. Press down like you would for a normal base.

Then get some quark - I had the lake district natural quar k but any will do. Then mix in the options sachet with some granulated sweetner- how much really depends on your own taste. You can also experiment with options flavours.

Mix well.

Then spoon this on top of the 'biscuit' base.

I left mine then to set in the fridge for two hours but I don't think you have to.

I served mine with some berries on top! A lovely quick and easy dessert.

Hi hun x definitely dnt b down, but I understand what u mean when u feel you've been "really good", but all the other members on here r right, u need to b eating ur HEx's and use syns throughout the day, doesn't hv 2b a lot, even 3-5, but they're there 4 a reason. Hard to believe at times that u hv to eat to lose weight, but that's whats great abt SW
I've got a food diary if u fancy a look, veggie tho
Hope you've had a good day x L x

I have. Bit fiddly but quite tasty. Should be fine for the kids but for us,technically,we are supposed to syn the potatoes even on a green day.

If its just potatoes and frylight how come they are synned?

It's easy to overeat the potato in that form. A jacket potato would be a filling meal,the same potato sliced and eaten as crisps wouldn't last as long or keep you as full...it would be more of a snack xx

 

[beachbabetobe13]

if on EE its free, only fruit is synned if fiddled with, vegetables you can mash blend squash whatever just dont cook in fat! Frylight is my life

Possible syn on original/green days but not a follower of that plan x

Technically,this should be synned on all plans. It's a bit of a grey area...some people will,some won't. It all boils down to how a food item is used. As I said before,using potato like this could greatly increase the amount you eat,for little satisfaction. I haven't had online access for some time now but it used to termed food abuse or something similiar. You might get more info from group or by googling it xx

Mmmmmm homemade crisps I've made them with beetroot, parsnip and sweet potatoes before too x
