Thanks for sharing....

Keep up the great work and hope you have another good week

Wow, that is amzing! Im sooo going to try and do this next week after weigh in tonight. Im not a huge fish fan but do like tuna and cod fillets etc so ill defo be having some tuna salads, tuna steaks and fish and chips for my dinner

 

[snuggle69]

I see you have only synned your mackerel salad as 1syn?
Does that mean you are only eating 28g of smoked mackerel....that doesn't seem to be much?

You would be surprised how much that is once the skin is removed, it is a small fillet.personally I dont have huge amounts so that suits me just fine, maybe some people would need double that, but at the end of the day it would still only be 2.5 syns at the most.

i seem to have missed this entire thread until now. well done on your amazing loss! I got weighed last night so am on a fresh week from today. Im going to be taking out the smoked haddock which has been abandoned at the bottom of the freezer, me thinks!

 

[Mummy_Helen]

I got weighed last night, so am starting fish week today. For breakfast I had sardines on toast, then grapefruit straight afterwards. Then for lunch I had a prawn/cheese toastie with salad. Lucky I always have a ton of fish in my freezer!

This sounds great, but how much yoghurt do you add ? Do you need much or is it just a garnish.

Sorry to be so daft, but not good with guessing

TIA

 

[loungelizard]

What a great loss I hadn't seen this until now but we've had quite a bit of fish this week so will be interesting to see what my WI brings tomorrow. Mind you I've also made a couple of boobs re syns as am still getting my head around them

 

[snuggle69]

yipppeeee lots of us at it now, make sure you all keep us updated, remember as someone said earlier in the thread....if it swims it slims!!

Been following this fishy tale, since monday - my WI is tomorrow night so will let you know- the one thing i have noticed is that i don;t feel bloated after each meal, yes i feel full but not bloated - and i don;t seem as hungry for a long time after having a meal..... so fingers crossed for my WI and here is to the next fishy week cos i think i will be doing this again

Was even thinking if this could be done and have the same effect if you did a "white meat" week ie chicken/turkey

 

[piggin]

This sounds really good! I do love fish and you can have loads of prawns as a HE so good to make a curry with.

I love tuna and salmon too, so need to stock up on these and give it a go!
