Do you know how many syns are in tinned madarins Sarah? I love them
I don't, but figured they were in juice (which I drained) and I used one small tin for the whole roulade, about 6 slices.
I know there's the whole food abuse debate but it's just fruit, it can't be that bad.

I WILL lose 6 stone! :)
I agree
Confession time............I dont ever ever ever bother to syn tinned pineapple in it's own juice AND I don't syn cooked fruit An apple is an apple, no matter if it's raw or cooked in my opinion Shoot me now!!! :8855:

Arrrggghhh... hotel wifi keeps packing up - trying to type before it goes plop again!
Work is going well, I ended up late agaion this morning as I still can't get my head around the one-way system in Reading!! Looking forward tog oing back home to Somerset tomorrow after work. Back here again Monday.
You baaaaaaaaaaaaddd lot!! Not synning you fruit juice!!?? I must admit when I use tinned fruit I really do make every effort to squeeze of any juice as I can remember reading that fruit juice has naturally very high levels of sugar in it.
But hey - if we're losing, we're losing!! We are all heading in the right direction and thats the most important thing. I'm feeling better and better as the weeks go by. Only problem is it's costing me a fortune in suits!!

Haha, me neither. Have the occasional apple or banana and I bought some frozen mixed berries last week but I'm not that keen on fruit.
I've been keeping the syns to a minimum during the week incase I go out at the weekend and have a drink. For instance today.. I had an egg, a tomato and mushrooms for brekkie. Didn't eat lunch but had a bag of french fries (4 syns) and then my dinner which had no syns. My logic is over the course of a week a couple of syns for things like tinned fruit probably won't make a difference but it gives me something to be more strict with when I gain or sts!

I rarely make a SW pudding. Sometimes I by a low pud. Tesco do a lighter choices choc mousse for 95 cals so I figure thats 5 syns and it hits the spot. I eat alot of quark mixed with sweetner and vanilla essence and have that on fruit like melon and mango etc. Yeo valley do a fab frozen strawb yogurt and thats lovely on fruit and if you syn it it's pretty low. Sometimes I have an animal choc bar and a cup of tea and thats low syn.
The one dessert I used to make when I did SW before was lemon mousse and had that with a sponge finger which is 1 syn. I'm going to try and remember the recipe but im sure its whisked egg whites, a sugar free lemon jelly made up with just a quarter of a pint of water and quark and grated lemon zest and juice of a lemon then chilled. I remember eating it quite a lot before. The other thing i'm going to try is the pear and choc sponge. I'm going to try synning a choc sponge mix and adding a bit of baking powder to make it lighter. I always do a proper pud on Sunday.
We are away Sat and Sun in Surrey for an 80th birthday do. Will try and be ultra good before and after and make good choices while i'm away.
Good luck anyone weighing today!

I've just realised I may get a gain this week I've been ill this week with a nasty cough and because I have asthma the Dr gave me steroids to get rid of it. Unfortunately one of the side effects can be weight gain, I'm hoping it won't affect me too badly as its only a short course but we'll have to see on Monday I guess.

Hi Dory, I'm asthmatic and live off ventolin and symbicourt. I occassionally have to go into hospital where they give me a high dose, short course of steroids. But I somehow (yeah - i maybe mad!!) turn this into a positive. I know that steroids can affect my losses so I combat it by being extra good - filling up on superspeed foods e.g melon, raspberries etc... I normally manage a loss - probably because I 'over-compensate'!!
Best wishes and thinking of you - asthma is not fun
