Try not get the pre-grated cheese, it's higher in syns if I remember right, they do something to it to stop it sticking together?

The stuff what she was asking about was the cheese spread I think, but you can get blocks of cheese tooo so good info! Must pop over to your diary, it doesn't show in my subs these days?

Thought that's what you were going on about, but, still remember thinking the grated stuff was ace till I found out about the extra syns? Same for all pre-grated cheese? Soon had me buying the blocks again!

Yeah, the only pre-grated cheese you can have as a Healthy Extra is the Low Low one. Any others have to be Synned as they contain flour and/or potato starch to stop the cheese sticking together. There was a big thing on our groups facebook page last week that I like to call "cheesegate", it caught a lot of people out!

Have never bought pre-grated cheese in my life haha! Good job by the sounds of it

Dinner

Salad with Lettuce, Cucumber, Red Onion, Pepper, Pine Nuts (HEX B) and 2 Babybels (A) LOL..ran out of Feta, so Babybels it is!

Looks like a perfect Green day! This is how I started, and now I'm hooked :giggle:

How much of the Reeses puffs do you get for 6 Syns? Is it quite a decent amount? Mmmm :drool:

 

[book_lover]

What are Reese's puffs?

 

[xJoanneJJx]

They're an American branded cereal. Have you tried the Reese's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups? If so, you'll love them! Bloody pricey though, around me can only get them in Fenwicks (big department store) or the new American sweet shops that are popping up all over.

Stevie, on the box it says 3/4 cup for 120 calories. So i used my measuring spoon things and when I weighed it out, it's the equivalent to 30g

 

[book_lover]

oh yum, I bet they're amazing, I love those cups and any mix of chocolate and peanut basically!

Ooooh that's not too bad is it! I may have to invest. It's sooo expensive (£7 a box in the Candy Avenue shop in Middlesbrough) but I wouldn't be eating it every day so it'd feel like a proper treat. It would be nice just to nibble on, dry, when watching TV on a night too. It's got me thinking now, I wonder how many Syns in Lucky Charms. I do love American goodies. I've currently got a stash of cans of diet root beer - I wish they would bring out diet Mountain Dew! :drool:

 

[xJoanneJJx]

Yeah I paid £6 for mine From Yankee Doodle (Eldon Square & Metro Centre) which is ludicrous i know but i was dying to try them and I think the syns are worth it and tbh you get quite a decent amount I've also tried the Lucky Charms- didn't buy a full box but they also do the Lucky Charms in like a 1 serving sized pot, so thats what i bought. I'm a sucker for American stuff tooo!

eee really, small world! Where do you live now? Have to admit I love Newcastle & the NE- not sure I'd move anywhere else. I live about 3 miles out of NCL city centre

Work is dead so I've just wrote up a weeks food plan, including some new dishes to try! -polishes halo-

Gutted. I had such a nice day of food planned and now don't think i'll be able to have any of it

Weekend has got off to such a crap start! I was feeling nice and happy this morning and even went out for a run. Then i had a dentist appointment, which wasn't bothering me in the slightest at all- i've never minded it. They've been took over by a new group and the dentist i had was truly awful, what a horrible patronising man. I had 4 fillings done when before that, apparantly i've had perfect teeth! As soon as the needles with anaethetic went in, i started freaking out. My heart was beating 100mph, my hands were shaking and i started crying...and i still am!

Cost me nearly 50 quid.

FML.

Aw Joanne Hope you start to feel better soon. The numbness should hopefully be gone by this evening so you can have a nice dinner - take strong ibuprofen for when the numbness goes.

I live in the countryside near Aberdeen now!

Thanks, hope so. I'm still convinced I didn't even need them, he was an awful man.

Sad, sore, headache and hungry...that describes me at the mo! Only had a couple slices of chicken all day. Hope you're having a good Saturday!
