Hi Cai I hope it works for me, I am looking to maintain/little losses as I am pretty much finished losing I think - well it seems to be a lot harder to lose now!
Well I use an online Propoint calculator and I raided my cupboards for the nutritional value of the food I had.. sad I know but what else can I do in half term? I also went on the tesco website to get the nutritional value for the other foods I eat. And there's also loadsa threads on here with good PP finds

I've just wrote a list of all the food into Word to look at when planning my meals. And I have a big list of treats with their pp value hehe

I am not really sure how SW works, the different days seem to confuse me? What do you syn?

It's quite hard to explain...i try keep simple idea/cencept -

Extra Easy - each meal needs to be 1/3 lean protein, 1/3 carbs (rice, pasta potatoes) and 1/3 Super free (a variety of veg/fruit)
+ 1 healthy extra A and B - this is a list A's mainly calcium based and B's are cerials, breads, crackers etc

Red days - unlimited amounts of lean meats and a list of veg (basic ones not pulses) then u syn the carbs
+ 2 hex B's and up to 2 Hex A's

Green days - unlimited carbs and veg (this time inc pulses) and syn meats.
+ 2 hex B's and up to 2 Hex A's

The Healthy extra lists chage depending on which day yr doing, and u can swap which colour day u do whenever you want so u do have to keep an eye on stuff but u soon get used to it!

All the treat stuff (crisps, sauces, fats etc) are syned.

That is just a basic outline and there are other little rules to stick to, things u expect to be free are not and things u expect to syn are free etc...But it has worked OK for me so far so i wont knock it! x
(oh and i am sure someone will correct me on soemthing in this post...I am no expert!!!) x

Gonna use two weeklies as I want a WW brownie desert yumyum. So that'll be 31/29 and 24/49 left.. I would probably use most of my weeklies at the weekend as my weighin is generally friday/saturday.. SOOO I am planning to stick to 29pp till Saturday... then next saturday I will reset my weeklies if that makes sense.. Now I'm back at work, I generally have a day off plan on Fridays as they have fish and chips with cake at the canteen. I would count these in my weeklies but I would have to guess and I hate not knowing PP's..
So I am weighing myself tomorrow, then will continue to weigh on fridays..

I must admit I have never got breakfast correct! Used to have yogurt and fruit, then started on weetabix or oat so simple and fruit, now jus having an apple!
It's suggested u have something like grilled bacon, eggs, tinned tomatoes and a slice of toast...but who has time for that every day?? I do like similar at wkends when I have time (and the ingredients!)

You get upto 15 syns a day, u can use it on anything u want, choc included! but I often use on things like Mayo, or similar. I have tried to limit my choc intake - before diet ate loads! Then had non for maybe 6 months! Then started with some small individuals (roses etc) but found I'd started having too many (for me anyway!) I do like the chocolate Alpen lights tho which can be a healthy extra!! Woo hoo x

[goodbyeflab]

So I took some photos of my tummy today and I would really like to tone it up... however I have no idea what sort of routine I should do and whether I need to get my body fat lower to gain the toned look. Think i am going to try Davinas ab section 3x a week, in the mornings possibly.. what do yas think??

...oh and todays been a mega fail. Will get on track tomorrow, hate not being at work/busy as I just eat everything in sight!!! Might have an elastic band on my wrist and flick it everytime I am ready to eat out of greed... I am not going to get the body I want if I am keep going to do this.. but I don't want to feel too deprived.. lately it seems like my only happiness is junk food... god that sounds sad..
