Didn't read through the lot, but you're looking pretty good to me, only things I noticed on scanning through quickly, are you cutting the fat off the bacon before cooking? It's not free otherwise. Were ur pineapple chunks canned? If so, there will be a lot of syns in them, even if they are in juice, not syrup. Also, it might be worth checking into fat free salad dressings if you have it often...some are syn free, like the Kraft ones, which leaves you more syns for a sneak choccy bar or something as a treat.
Good luck!

Hey thank you!
The pineapple chunks are fresh and yes the bacon has the fat taken off (no more crispy bacon for me
) Good to know Im doing it ok. I finally weighed myself last night to get a starting weight, so dont know if Ive actually lost anything yet- shall see next week

Hiya, unless the plans changed in the last few months, you only need 1/3 super free with every meal. I don't always have fresh salad stuff in so I make sure there's lots of super free incorporated into the meal (I keep bags of frozen peppers, onions, mushrooms etc for cooking - great for things like bolognese)

I'm a big fan of those too, they really shorten the time it takes to cook a meal from scratch!

Unfortunately the short answer is no. The exercise will help you to burn calories and therefore hopefully have a better weight loss.
