Good that the seeds are on the B list! Would be annoying having to use a load of syns on them. I have never tried a green smoothie, but to me it doesn't sound the most appetising - what did you think of it? Xx

It was.. Okay. But to be honest.. in the past I have had a smoothie for breakfast (made from fruit) and then felt really hungry a couple of hours later. My green smoothie managed to make me hold out until lunch.. But i have been really mentally hungry for most of the day.. a real empty day. 
It's like whatever I eat just doesnt want to stasify my cravings. Not the best thing to have when you are due a weigh in later is it. ha ha
To be fair though, I didn't imagine I was going to get a good weigh in later anyway.. but don't want to sabotage it too much. Meh.
So yeah.. Green smoothies are okay.. but I prefer to EAT my breakfast instead of drink it.. you know? I'll keep up with it for a couple of days.. but if I don't see any results then I am going back to my porridge for brekkie.

Thanks in advance.

This is them. They are a small pack of about 6 or 7 wee pakoras. And sooooo yummy. At 300 cals for the whole pack, that would be 15 syns. But there should be free food allowance for the chicken, right?

Sadly it doesn't work like that.. because of the way they are cooked. The oil etc.. If you have eaten the whole back I would suggest going with 15syns! Sorry.
You know there is a syn section on this forum? If you asked the question in there.. someone might be able to help better then I can.

I know exactly what you mean about preferring to eat breakfast rather than drink it - in fact the only time I like to drink my calories is when it involves wine
Although you're over syns, I don't think your food for the day is particularly bad - avocados are very healthy, & it's a shame the wrap can't be used as a hexB. At least now you have a better idea of the syns in what you've eaten, so just draw a line under it & remember for the future xx

So I had a moment of weakness and was like.. what's another 11 mikado sticks gonna do! It's not gonna hurt... So my total syns for yesterday was 25. *gah*
I did do my workout yesterday though and feeling it this morning I must admit. It annoys me greatly how my scales at home will tell me I have lost.. but the scales at SW will tell me I've had a gain. Like this week.. my scales on Tuesday morning told me I weighed 14stone 8lbs! When I weighed in in the evening I had gone up to 14stone 12.5lbs. Thats like a gain of 4.5lbs! Clothes might weigh 1lb.. so then its a "food gain" of 3.5lbs? So frustrating!
Breakfast- porridge with milk and a banana
Lunch- morrocan couscous with beef mince and sweetcorn, with a bit of spinach
Snacks- raspberries with fage fat free yoghurt, pink lady apple, 1x light babybel and 1x cheddar babybel (low on stocks!)
HEA-Semi skimmed milk
HEB- handful of mixed nuts
Syns
1x light babybel- 2syns
1x cheddar babybel- 3.5 yns
Hot Chocolate- 1.5syns
Total- 7 syns
I just couldn't face having the green smoothie for breakfast... my trainer will be annoyed with me but i think it just didnt work. I got this empty feeling because i didn't "eat" my breakfast... it felt like I had missed a meal.

I never like weighing in the evening for that very reason that food & clothing weight can vary so much. Even though morning weight can also fluctuate I find it's way more consistent.
I don't think I'd find a breakfast smoothie very filling either. I'd tell your trainer how you feel, hopefully they'll be able to suggest a good alternative breakfast that you can actually eat xx

I am trying not to let it get me down.. Sadly i don't have a "morning" session which I can go to.. so evening is basically my only choice! I tried to eat "light" on my weigh in days but in reality its kinda cheating isnt it. lol
Still focusing on upping my exercise.. hopefully that will help to shed the stubborn fat!

...we're sinking deeper.
It's not really cheating to eat 'light' on WI day If you do it on a consistent basis then you can trust that number! When I used to get weighed with Lighter Life, I'd wear the same clothes each time and stop drinking water and coffee about 4 hours before I'd have to go
I've been following you by reading for a little while, so thought I'd drop by and offer support! You can do it!

See.. this is what frustrates me SO MUCH! Calories wise.. I haven't actually eaten that much! Here is a snapshot of my MFP diary for the day. Around 1,200 calories! *sigh* But Syns.. .Syns I am over! Again! My Graze pot was a fruity, granola type thing... (which isn't that bad for you.) And corn thins... are like.. 28 calories each..
If I was eating a massive 600 calorie flapjack then fair enough.. just.. GAH!!
I've just realised that this hasn't got my wispa on it for some reason... can't believe a wispa is 10 syns! (I really need to start looking up syns before i eat them. Like seriously! Just downloaded the SW app onto my phone so I can start doing this. )
Basically.. I am now feeling VERY grumpy. lol
