Hello lovely, well done on DAY 3 and getting back on plan, fab red day although I noticed the 2 litres again, you finding it hard to hit 3 litres for the Turbo challenge ? Also hun unfortunately veggies cannot substitute for salad. Your plate needs to be packed with the green leafy stuff, that's why I have mentioned in the guidelines the salad cannot be a `SIDE' it has to be your `MAINCOURSE' your plate should be taken up by most of it. The fibre from the salad plays a huge part in your losses .

I've just managed to catch up. Well done everyone on another fab day. I always used to think salads were boring but not anymore!

Can I just ask, is extra light mayo/salad cream counted as part of the 10 syns allowed?

Hello hun, I'm sorry I must have missed your post last night, when everyone was posting their eats. With regards to mayo, yep Hellmans Extra Light Mayo is 0.5 syns for 1 tablespoon, I normally buy Asda's Extra Light Mayo which is 1 syn per tablespoon. If you want to know syns for any other items, feel free to post on here or you can pm me anytime lovely. Hope this helps.

Free £5 Morrisons voucher in the sun today. To be used on fresh fruit and veg. No min spend (other than paper) but you can only use one at a time, so have to go through again or get someone else to, and doesn't work on self service xx

When I first started SW, nearly 4 years ago now, I decided that I was going to participate in celebrations in order to learn how to assimilate the 'goodies' in to my life. Previously, if I'd had something that was 'naughty', that would be it - I'd blown the diet so what was the point of continuing? I was determined to break that cycle.

It was a birthday at work today, and this was the offering - a whole strawberry tart each.



The total calorie count is 255 BUT, I only ate the strawberries and patisserie cream and nibbled at part of the crust, leaving more than half of the pastry. As it was a sweet butter pastry I would think that most of the calories were in the crust. What do people think is a reasonable Syn allowance? I'm thinking around 6 would more than cover it, but I want to err on the safe side.

Hi Patty, its roughly 13 syns for the whole lot so your halving that and you haven't even eaten half so I would say that's more than generous, infact I think you will be fine with 4, that's just one quarter of the cake .

Also Patty just wanted to check, will you be doing week 2 of the challenge as well ?

That's great to know Patty, your doing so well , I was reading you diary last night, I know the lack of hexb is a bit of a pain, but hopefully as you say, day by day your adjusting . I won't be needing the final list of names till Friday, so you still have time to think about it hun .
