Slim4ever the SW Way

Thanks, it took will power, need a loss this week

Perhaps a silly question...what does half a bottle of wine work out to be? Do you syn the glasses or is there a value for a whole bottle/half - can't see it in my old book.

It is syned by glass I am afraid!! (as far as I am aware) Have you ever tried the WW wine? Kind of never though was worth it - if you are going to have a glass of wine, may as well be one you like!

Enjoy your week off work! x

Nice diary. I remember a full bottle of wine being around 70 syns so half a bottle would be 35 but I could be wrong. Nice to get some new recipe ideas. xx

Am straight out for meal and cinema after weigh in so will report back when I get home....

So.....

weigh-in - 9.13.08 so if we're counting ounces it 2lbs off

Dinner was at wildwood - went for the healthiest option - superfood salad, pasta, brocoli, peas, chicken breast, yogurt dressing

Cinema was fully booked :-( so home to watch Apprentice and a cup of tea and alpen light bar - 3 syns

So happy with a loss

So...very happy with a 2lb loss and determined to see another bit off next week even if its not as much.

Looked over this weeks diary and I know for some people it doesn't make a difference but for me it seems 30-50 syns a week and spread over the days works for me, I will be back on the scan bran this week as have only had 1.5 also sticking with SF soup and the water challenge!

Enjoyed my few Green days this week but will try to have EE most days...actually looking forward to this eating week as only have a day in London on Sat to manage
