I feel like an absolute bottomless pit at the moment today I've had;
- tomato & mushroom omelette
- tomato & basil soup
- noodles

Dinner is steak, sw chips, tomatoes and mushrooms. I could eat my arm at the moment!

Claree, don't worry, yesterday I had 3 big meals and 3 full on snacks as well! Sometimes you need to eat! lol!

Hoping my stress lately doesn't effect my WI on thursday morning.. Hoping for a lb or more off!

I'm also drinking my body weight in diet coke lol, it's better than full fat irn bru I suppose but I really need to reign it in.

I had homemade tomato and basil soup from a cafe today, how would you syn it? I've not had any other syns today so I'm not concerned, just wondering for future

 

[tatabubbly]

Mmmmhhh.. Try looking up homemade soup on the syn calculator? It may have had added cream in it and stuff so it's a tricky one! I always tend to go for stuff that I can 'see' the syns in like oil etc..

 

[pippalata]

Like tata said, if it was creamy then it probably has more syns in than you would think. Plus the normal oil/butter syns. Lots of super free too though

Has anyone done Success Express before? I've just completed two days, back on normal plan today. xx

I did when I did the plan a couple of years ago but don't really remember how it went. How have you got on with it? Did you stick to it ok?

 

[PandaNate]

I found it really easy to do... I didn't snack unless it was on fruit, had salads and such mainly... I slipped a few times during last week and had a indian out with friends Saturday so I felt I needed to pull it back... I'm not sure if I should expect a loss or not tomorrow night though.

 

[pippalata]

Can you remind me the basic principles of it? I'm always looking for ways to boost a loss!

I don't THINK it had cream in it but I suppose it's hard to tell!

Next time ask if you're not sure I'm the worst person for going out now. I ask them to change EVERYTHING!!!

It's just a wee cafe and I'm probably going tomorrow anyway so I'll ask. I remember seeing the weight watchers point on the back of a menu and it wasn't high so I'm thinking there was probably minimum cream if any. Unfortunately everything else was bread heavy

I'm sure it will be fine at least you'll know for the future though. Sometimes you just have to pick the best from a bad bunch!!

Flip the plan on it's hard.

2/3rd SUPERFREE & only 1/3rd FREE. Do not snack on anything that isn't free on Green or red plans, which means ham, mugshots etc. You basically only snack on fruit and veg... and everything you syn has to be the highest syn value (out of green, red and ee). You can have ham with a meal though and not have to syn it... if that makes sense, it's just you can't snack on it if it's syned on another plan. Does this make sense?

 

[pippalata]

Yes it makes sense what about hex? And can you snack on egg and yogurt as they're free on both?

Christine, they look gorgeous! Do you mind giving out the recipe or are these from the magazine?

Sorry hun only just seen this for some reason my app was playing up, they were ok but bit weird in texture and bitter after a while so I have different ones cooling as we speak so will let you know how they turn out then you can decide which you would prefer recipe for

 

[ChristieH1409]

Can I crawl back, again?

Welcome back hun, such a cute pic

 

[ChristieH1409]

thought i'd post on here, started SW this week. First WI tonight. Got the keys for my new home on Saturday, moving in with my fella, think i've managed to stick to plan, even with everything going on.
I'm 25, I try to avoid the gym at all costs, but I am a member, just looking for the motivation to keep me going.

Welcome jennie (sorry bit late slowly catching up!) X
