DOING SW FROM HOME???

Tilly what pesto do you use? I've never used it on SW because i thought the syns would be too high.
 
It depends whats on offer! I just got it from Aldi today as I was there and they had red or green pesto for 79p a jar then I just use the 20cals = 1 syn rule. It cam ve quite high if u use too much tho x

Yay! Congratulations Laura :D Just goes to show that switching diets can really help you out! And there's you saying you weren't expecting to lose anything :p


Finally went back to the gym! Didn't enjoy it as much as I have done in the past, but I think it's cause I have a cold so wasn't really in the mood for it :) Picked up The Mirror on the way in to check out this SW feature, and today's booklet was really helpful - yummy recipes! Does anyone know when the next mag is out? Also, really tempted by this free joining SW voucher... Who has been to their first meeting, what do you get in the first one and are they really snotty/try to contact you if you don't go back haha?! If I can get the books etc on my first night then I won't go back, I don't think...
 
They give you all the books I don't know if they would get snotty but at the end of the day its your choice if you don't go back so i wouldnt worry too much.

Laura, I have just had a SW leaflet through the door and am very tempted to go just to get the books. I will have to look into to are what it is actually going to cost me. If you find out if you get your books first week let me know please so I can decide what to do. My books are well out of date as I joined a group in 2008 x

I forgot to get the paper annoying!

If I'm having a green day I make my own pesto, it's lush! Just have to use hexB pine nuts, and hexA Parmesan, I use that spray oil like proper oil which is 0.5syns for 7 sprays, basil and lemon juice. Xx
 
Thanks Skinnylegs! You're right, it is my choice if I don't go back so who cares :)

Icurez, if you're gonna go then you should get The Mirror in the next few days as it has a £10 off voucher in it which means that your first night will only cost you £4.95 :) Only issue is you have to go before or on Saturday 12th, so I'm gonna go to one on Wednesday, I think :)
 
Thanks every one!! :D I'm sooooo happy!!
Tilly that pasta sounds really yummy..you can come make it for me now if you like, I'm hungry :p
Yay for going to the gym though Laura, especially if you are a bit ill!
I'm going to search for some food as I am starving, the problem I'm having atm is that I never used to eat a proper dinner every day, quite often I'd have cereal or sweet stuff instead and now trying to have a dinner is horrible, I feel like I'm forcing savory food down that I don't want :( Any one else get this? x

I get what you mean but mines with the standard 3 meals a day thing, I don't do breakfast, and cold quite happily wait until half 3 in the afternoon for lunch and then after that just pick at stuff until bedtime. It's a good job kids have been off school since I started this else I would be still harbouring unhealthy habits xxx

Thanks Calirose try it it's fab haha!

I seem to be more hungry thoughout the day rather than of a night! I try n not eat NY tea too late as I hate the feeling when it's lying heavy on your stomach so don't have a prob having my tea then nothing else ie no supper! As ice got a desk job sometimes I find myself mooching for something nice rather than just sticking to what I've brought in with me! I'm learning tho and think it's working!

Ive also been drinking more water which I think helps your cravings! I've had a few cups of lemon with boiled water today and 1 cup of tea this morning. X
 
evening all..

me and the hubs are starting following plan tomorrow..., hubs has just made himself a juice drink to have for breakfast consisting of 1 grapefruit 3 tangerines and a carrot plus a bit of water sounds gross to me but he seems to like it!..
i have a feeling this will have syns in it because of the whole pureed fruit issue..can anyone tell me how many syns this would be.. he has split this into two drinks so wouldnt be having it all at the same time!

Pretty much all fruit purees and juices should be avoided as they have syns. There isn't a sure way of telling how many syns are in the juice drink because of the size and juice quantity in the fruits, but here are some syn values that might help :)

Grapefruit juice 142ml = 2.5 syns
Orange juice 142ml = 2.5 syns

You might be able to work out a rough syn value for the drink using this, but really I'd recommend just eating the fruit - much more satisfying and leaves more syns for naughty treats! :)
 
Hey Charleybabes! How u finding the plan this time around? I've just had a look at your old food diary and don't think your eating enough food or syns so that could be the reason for the slow weight loss? Try and use your syns and see if that helps? X
 
It sucks doesnt not wanting to eat the regular meals but knowing you kind of have to, doesnt it lisa!!
Also Tilly that is a good plan, might have some tea with lemon and a teaspoon of sweetner later! :)
I ended up having a 'normal' dinner anyway, even though I didnt fancy it, and actually enjoyed it so that's good. Glad I made myself eat! Going back to uni school placement on tuesday and dreading the irregularity from my current routine! Did sign up for a free aqua fitness class tomorrow morning though! :D
 
Eugh couldn't have sweetener in it too...too sweet for me! I'm not a sweet person haha! X
 
Soda, real lemons and a bit of sweetener is amazing - tastes like cloudy lemonade!
