Can you ladies help me! I need to buy a birthday pressie for someone who ive never met and she doesnt give anything away so im struggling lol shes a nurse and her fave colour is purple thats all I know and im not allowed to get smellies in case of allergies, also needs to be no more than a tenner. So far ive looked at a fob watch but they look a bit tacky for that price, what would you say is an acceptable present? Ive been looking at maybe a nice clutch bag or something as she seems to go to alot of night outs but could do with others opinions lol

Flowers are always good. A clutch bag sounds brilliant tp be honest. Scarves, purses, any accessory usually goes down well. Or pretty notebooks and stationary.

Which one of these looks nicer if I can get them to load

I'd go with a nice pashmina because she might get more use out of it x

I was the same with my syns pippa it's strange isn't it! When I started slimming world and my consultant explained the plan to me I just couldn't get it into my head that I could lose and have syns so I took it upon myself (much to my consultants annoyance) to not have my syns, I had maybe 1 or 2 syns 3 days a week maximum on little things like if I was frying mushrooms i would fry in butter and that would be my syns for the day. Or a tsp of ketchup or something. I managed well with this and lost every week from day one to target without missing a single week and had 2 stay the sames in that time, but when I got to target I had to allow myself syns to stop myself from losing and because I found it so hard to have my syns I kept losing for a while and changing my target lower. When I had my first gain I had a round of applause from my group as their words were 'Yes she is human!!' But on the other hand I know why they are there and they are important but for me allowing myself a few Jaffa cakes was not possible as once I would have started I would have had the whole roll and then justified a sharer bag of crisps because I'd already had the roll of jaffas so what more damage could be done?! It was a vicious circle!! This is a mega long reply haha!!

I think that's my problem, I'm an all or nothing kind of girl normally so I don't know if I could have syn foods in my house and not scoff the lot! I've also got myself used to cooking syn free for a couple of years because of the clean eating diet I was only when I lost my initial 3 stone so I don't find I need them for cooking.

Did you always use your HEX when you were losing? I'm not very good with those either...

Maybe I should start making more of an effort to have those as well then... It just feels like I'm eating for the sake of eating sometimes!

Have you had a chat with your consultant about it? Do you go to group or do it online? Xx

What chicken things are these?

 

[ChristieH1409]

They are battered chicken breast steaks and they are apparently just 4.5 which is quite good for something battered but they are nice in a bun with lettuce and mayo

Just got given offered a pile of ferrero rocher by one of my students. I politely took one, came home and checked the syns before eating! Now who's learning?
