Hi Jenniecakes, I had a tin of mixed beans with mine one day, it was ok with some sort of dressing on. Good luck, here's a pic

You could try quorn steaks or pieces marinated in blue dragon sauces. The syns vary for the sauces, or make your own s.w. syn free versions. x

Hi everyone , just thought I should update about myself this week. I am doing the Turbo Cycle. As you all know from the guidelines, if you require a day off from the challenge, then that is fine, you just need to let me know which day. It's one per person. It's not compulsory, only if you need it. Obviously if you do the challenge for 7 whole days, it will be better for you. I have taken today as my day off so I will be doing the challenge for 6 days this week. I will be back on it tomorrow to complete the rest of my week .

UPDATE FOR NEW MEMBERS PLEASE READ THIS ! TUES 15/07/2014

Discussing uour results with other memebers

Weighing yourself at home or at group before next Monday

Weightloss results must strictly not be discussed on the thread with other participants, once the challenge has started, during the middle of the challenge or any other time before next Mondays results.

If any of you are curious to see how much you weigh just a few days into the challenge, my advice would be to keep them scales away as the figure might not be what your expecting, your body is still adjusting and making changes and like a lot of us it may dishearten you and lead you to a binge. Please try your best not to weigh before Monday. If you find you can't help yourself then please can you keep the figure to yourself and not share it with anyone here otherwise it will naturally cause everyone to guesstimate what they feel they should be achieving. As I've mentioned before, we are all different, so our losses will vary too. The best thing you can do for yourself is to stay away from those scales until Monday morning.

Those of you that have a group weigh in before next Monday, again can you please try and keep the figure to yourself until next Monday. I hope you all agree, we all need to support each other on this .

Kay xx
