I know it's only day 2, but looks like it's going well so far! I need to keep following and see what you get from Aldi cuz I've recently started shopping there, but I'm not sure what is/isn't free and syn values etc. Keep up the good work!

 

[clare_lou2909]

Thanks,I'll follow you too if OK,I love aldi,tho anything but basics I go elsewhere. I'm addicted to the cappuccino sachets they do,currently trying to find syns for them. Avoiding them until I know lol. X

 

[Hev_Sparrow]

I'm trying to figure out why the Aldi Brooklea yoghurts have got syns when they are basically the exact same product as a Muller Light?? I even compared the nutritional values last night and still don't get it!But I don't want to be eating unnecessary syns

 

[clare_lou2909]

I like the Greek style ones which are free Barr the toffee n cherry which are 0.5. How much are the normal yoghurts? Yes is very confusing,the pasta n sauces from aldi also syn at 0.5 whereas most batchelors are free,strange x

 

[Hev_Sparrow]

The normal ones are only 0.5 but it all counts doesn't it! I like to have as many free things as poss, cuz my syns really mount up quickly so i don't want to be adding 1 here and there when I know I don't need to. I'd rather save them for chocolate!

 

[clare_lou2909]

Sure does I'm bad for condiments really can't stand the lower fat 1s so end up using half my syns,silly really x

 

[Hev_Sparrow]

Chocolate and biscuits are my downfall, I can't eat just one of anything. And cheese. 30g cheese just isn't enough. I love to just pour it over a jacket potato so it's taking some adjustment not to!

 

[clare_lou2909]

Tomorrows aim avoid mayo n butter,really wasting syns when I could do without.

 

[Hev_Sparrow]

Do it, there are so many wasted syns in them. I managed to have jackets & beans the other day with no butter and actually didn't notice a difference if I'm honest!

 

[clare_lou2909]

So lost my way with the food diary...had a hectic weekend,stayed somewhat on track with my eating but skipped a lot of meals and did drink both Fri n sat :-/...did well yesterday...got my head back in gear..!
Lost 3 pound at weigh in last night really should of been a couple more but hoping I can pull it back this week with another 3 at least.

[Hev_Sparrow]

I see what you mean about butter and salad cream! That's 7 syns alone... The Boost was probably well worth it though

Try your jacket spud with beans, I find you don't need butter then because the moisture in the sauce is enough. And every little helps as the well known saying goes!

 

[clare_lou2909]

I'm terrible for the butter think I need to avoid spuds for a while. Yes the boost was yummy first bit of choccy in 10 days!! Really behaving today and going shopping which helps so should pull it back from yesterday. How you getting on? X

 

[Hev_Sparrow]

Don't buy any salad cream! Lol.

I'm trying but if you've been on my diary lately you'll see I'm failing miserably... Feeling very low about it all. Yesterday was pretty good and low syn though so trying to get into a rhythm and hopefully it'll stick this time! Got 5 weeks till the hen do I wanted to be thinner for and still only lost 2lbs

 

[clare_lou2909]

U could pull another 10 pounds in that time if really put head to it...my aim is a stone by 1st Sept so another 11 to go x
