I don't think so Emmaline but good of you to ask - one of the other members has been like it for 6 months. Apparently quite a few are the same - may be worth getting a check tho next time I am at the docs eh?

Ooh, another vegan diary! It's always good to see something new for ideas.
I was wondering, what brand of vegan bacon do you buy? I could never find it on the SW syns online and don't want to buy the stuff and find out it's really high syn!

elo bird! I buy the redwoods - there is one called tempeh rashers that is pants but the one i love is called cheatin rashers. You can buy them in holland and barrett. In our store they are behind the cheatin chicken and beef slices etc.
I couldnt find it on the body optimise site so I put it in the syns calculator and it came up as 4 syns a pack. I use about half a pack each time which is about 3 or 4 rashers - I think there are about 7 in the pack.
I cut them up and put them in lentil soup the other day. The result tasted lovely BUT all of the smokey flavour came out of the bacon into the soup so that the bacon bits left didnt taste of anything - was all fine tho and a nice change from normal lentil soup. BTW in case you are interested I have been eating snackajacks - i wrote to the company and asked them if they were vegan and they kindly sent me a list of vegan items which include the caramel ones and the salt and vinegar ones. The big ones are 2 syns each but I really love the caramel flavour - and the smell!

Ooh that's really not bad for an entire pack of bacon! I will have to get some for my next fry up
Yes, I recently discovered the salt and vinegar snack a jacks but have yet to try the caramel. It seems like a weird flavour but I should give it a go!

forgot them when i did the shopping yesterday never mind I did holland and barretts today and got some panda licorice and some trek bars. Trek bars come up at 10 syns for the berry one and 11 syns for the chocolate ones!!!! They are big tho - so I may treat myself to one of those if I work up 500 cals at the gym.

Yeah, I can imagine Trek bars being high, I think the chocolate ones have both prunes and nuts in them. They're a far healthier use of syns though, so definitely worth saving up for

I was so shocked at the number of calories I ate yesterday I decided to eat v little today. I am going to eat normally and see what happens- I think if I go into starvation mode so be it - I will have to lose it eventually and eating more certainly hasn't worked as I put on a pound again this week.
Feeling v dejected.:break_diet:
Breakfast - 2 weetabix for breakfast with soya milk
Mid - 2 apples and 2 snackajack
Lunch - apple and 4 snackajacks through the afternoon.
Supper - Fried tofu in olive oil, sprouts, carrots, 2 pieces of potato, cabbage green beans. Yogurt
Apple, banana and grapefruit.
Syns snackajacks and yogurt - 15.5 syns.
HE,s milk, olive oil and weetabix.

I cant understand how that comes to so many calories Margy - if your syns are as stated it shouldnt be anywhere near that!! Dont starve yourself, please, putting yourself into starvation mode is hugely counterproductive and wont give you any clues as to why you arent losing so well.

Not losing would be one thing but gaining? It can only be because I am eating too much. I had a look at some folks diaries last night including yours and no one is eating anywhere near as much as me. So I think cutting down is the only way to go.
I am REALLY confused and fed up can you tell? Thanks for getting back to me - much appreciated - going to keep up with the eternally slim thread to make myself more miserable that so many people are so successful even if I am not. Jesus get a grip me!:tear_drop:

Ok so today was to be my first real day back on track and following the diet without eating so much but I took some doughnuts in to work cos it was one of the girls birthdays and I ate 2 so.....
Breakfast - 2 doughnuts
Lunch - small baked potato and tin of heinz spaghetti - apple
Mid - punnet of strawberries and some yogurt
Supper - bowl of lentil soup home made and a yogurt. Melon and 2 kiwi fruit.
Syns - doughnuts 16 syns - yogurt 4 syns = 20 syns in total but not too bothered as I burned off 450 cals at the gym.
Just noticed no HEs of any kind today and too full to have any now so will have to make up for it tomorrow. **Sigh**

Sorry to hear about the gain, I had one a week or so again and it made me feel rubbish
Out of curiousity, I noticed you were eating a bit more to prevent your body going into starvation mode from lots of exercise. Were you eating extra syns at all? I'm too lazy to read back (sorry, loong day) but if you have been doing this it might be worth having healthy extras rather than synned foods.
If not maybe try some red days to give your body a change. I do these by having lots of mock meat, tofu and veggies and cutting way back on the carbs. I've had good results doing this.
Good luck, don't worry, the weight will come off!
