Hello! Just a quick question - what made your dinner 10syns?

Hi Iklnoo the gravy wad homemade from the chicken juices. I'm not sure if it is exactly 10 syns but I remember it wad about that.

After a quick google I think I may have over synned the gravy but better over synned than under eh.

Definitely! I'd rather over estimate than 'Ivy BeenSoGood' (have you read that? It's really good).

I've not read it, will go and have a google.

How long have you been doing SW for, and what have your results been? This is my 1st week, though I did do it years ago. I weigh in on Monday :)

Thanks for the recipe, i think I will give that a go in the week.

I have just rejoined on Thursday, I did it earlier this year and lost a stone, was 1.5lb away from target but just lost focus and started yo yo ing the same 3lb on an off.

Are you feeling confident for weigh in?

Todays food -

Scan bran (heaB), milk (heaA) and strawberries

bacon, beans, egg, ww sausages and mushrooms - 1 syn for sausages.

Grapes

Dinner will be jacket potato with a salad, not sure on the topping yet though because I think we are out of low fat mayo.

Gonna have a mini nobbly bobbly later for 6 syns

Used my syns on a packet of Asda cheese curls (4 syns), 2 slices of wholemeal toast (6 syns, from a small loaf) and a smear of peanut butter on them (no idea of syns)

Hmmm peanut butter on toast, yum!

I had some leftover chilli in my spud (from the freezer) it was actually pretty nice!

Doing a roast tomorrow and having bisto with it because homemade gravy is off the syn chart. I will be devastated.

Hi. Could you tell what what the HEA list contains and what raw considered HEB? Thanks

Also am confused by whether to count an ingredient as a HEA/HEB.

see here: www.slimmingeats.com/blog/#.U_ByZdq9KSP
She states that the Cauliflower Garden Flatbread is 1 HEA and 1 syn. But the recipe contains cheese so 4 HEAs and coconut flour which is 3.5 syns. So do I add it all up so the recipe is 5 HEAs and 4.5 syns?

Hi Citrus, I will try to find a link for you but basically healthy a is milk/cheese and healthy b is fibre so cereals and bread.

I cant find a list but i think I use these
A choices
300mls of the one milk or 250mls of semi skimmed or 30gs of cheese

B Choices

2 alpen light bars
2 weetabix
35g of plain porridge oats
35g of special K granola
2 slices from a 400g brown loaf
5 scan bran.

for that recipe you do use 4/5 healthy As but that is for the whole recipe, each portion would then be 1 healthy extra

Thank you so much, yes that brung each portion makes logical sense now!

Have got SW magazine, going to food plan and then go shopping Monday morning so just wanted to make sure I'd got it all right in my head first! Will post update - can't do this by myself! Thanks.
