Pam I have sent you a dm[msnwink]

Its not as clear cut as that and is based on how much people weigh and how active they are too. but 14 syns is not an amount that is even in the manual, and its also a good idea to test how many syns work best for you[msnsmile2]

[Sally D]

Started off yesterday with every intention of being good but then went to the party and the food was amazing[msntongue]. Will have to try and make up for it during the week.

I won't even bother writing down a food diary for yesterday[msnembarrased]

Just had bacon, dry fried egg, toms and low fat sausage made by DH, planning to have lamb shank with veggies and a couple of small jersey royals for dinner.

i was just gonna say the same to pam, Pam it's not up to the consultant to set out your syn level[msnmad] it's your choice to decide from the guideline given, some days you may need only 5 and others you may need 15 then there could be a time when you really do need to go flexible and allow yourself even more, the important thing is that the syns are there so you don't feel deprived and you can have your favourite treat or tipple, evidence shows that it is when we are deprived that we are most likely to give up and that's how SW came to have the whole ethos that nothing is a sin [msnsmile] it's why SW is so successful because nothing is deprived and YOU make the decisions [clap][clap][clap]

i mentioned flexible syns and probably got people wondering so i'll spell it out

flexible syns are when you really need those extra ones for example; a really really special occasion, you can then set a max level of say 50 syns for that one day and as long as you keep counting then you're still in control and still on the plan[clap] my consultant has made it very clear to certain members in my class that a regular weekly night out with the girls or a weekly date with a full box of celebrations does not count[msnembarrased]

Sally i had a rough day yesterday too but one bad day does not mean a bad week so stick with it, you can make a big difference before thursdays weigh in[grouphug]

my bad time yesterday started with dh having an accident at work, he is now laid up on bed rest for a few days as he seem to have badly strained his ankle[msnsad] so with food shopping day put on hold i haven't made the best of choices from the little food we still had in the freezer[msnembarrased]

today i will have to food shop all by myself and possibly with one child[msnscared] but needs must so will plod on and check in later

Marie hope DH is better soon[grouphug]

Why not do some food shopping online, do they deliver where you are?

[canarypam]

Thanks Julie and Marie. Very helpful advice as ever ![msnsmile]

Had a good day yesterday, still not enough exercise as I cannot run, bend or lift at all. Took Tansy to agility and she got exhausted but I didn't as I have to direct her from the middle of the course - not easy as she expects me with her.

Food diary
Bacon, tomato and scrambled egg
Smoked salmon salad and fruit
Lamb shanks, beans, asparagus and new pots - HEb
Fresh fruit
Martini and tonic - 4 syns
Glass red wine - 5 syns
1 chocolate - 3 syns

Planning a BBQ later.

[Pegasus928]

Marie - sorry to hear about DH - hope he is feeling better very soon [grouphug]

We had a BBQ yesterday so my food is

Brekkie - WM Toast and marmite
fruit
no lunch as we put BBQ on quite early
BBQ - HL Sausage (½ syn), 2 x chilli chicken skewers (2 syns)
salmon fillet, pork & lamb steaks, SW new potato wedges (HE B)
Maltersers (5½ syns), mini jammie dodgers (3 syns)
Total syns = 11

Was tempted to have some wine too but I didn't - I put myself down to be the DD and take our guests home [msnsmile]

Have a good day all

Elaine
