Thanks @LightandAiry for the new thread. Hope everyone has a good festive season and the scales are kind in 2023. Think my next weigh in is 7 Jan so plenty of time to do a LOT of damage.

Thanks

Hi All. I'm weighing in on Thursday...not looking forward to it tbh! Better weigh than miss tho, for me, otherwise I'll just eat synny stuff all the way until then!

Thanks

As my SW con says, "On plan, when you can" which sounds like a good goal.

Hiya @SpongeBobJudgeyPants my app is going as well as it can this time of year; I'm off at lunch time and evening for festive catch ups with friends. I agree 'on plan when you can.'

I have After Eights, Florentines and Heroes, Christmas Eve onwards I have no chance of staying on any plan!

I have always counted After Eights as 1 syn!

Hello! I've not joined you before- I'm maintenance, though I'd dearly love to get to the bottom of my window, which has never happened!

So I'm half heartedly trying to lose half a stone.

Making Christmas edibles for gifts has sabotaged any hope I had!

Thanks

High @picklemewalnuts . Florentines, @LightandAiry I luffs them! We have a small box waiting for Crimbo Eve if they live that long

Hi @picklemewalnuts I'm glad my rubbish thread title attracted you; I seem to not be doing SW but an NHS app provided to try and reverse type 2 diabetes. It is similar to SW but count carbs not syns & portion control. Hopefully it will work for me.

I meant to specifically say maintainers as well.

@SpongeBobJudgeyPants me too love Florentines I once made my own, not posh but with melted down chocolate chips, walnuts and glace cherries🍒

Ha! When I made my own florentines, delicious though they were, they were weirdly reminiscent of little puddles of sick. They didn't get a repeat! I'm not stylish enough for things like that!

I made SW Ferrero Roche with ryvita and nuttella. Surprisingly good!

Mainly chocolate bark. I used to do candied peel and nuts, both dipped in chocolate. It's quite time consuming. This year I've done it as chocolate bark- melted bars of chocolate in a baking sheet, then sprinkle with various toppings. I've done candied orange peel and almonds, marshmallow and sprinkles (looked very festive).
Salted pretzels and chocolate was amazingly good. I've done a mix for DH of choc chips, pretzel bits, peanuts, mini marshmallows. It's amazing.

It's all amazing. I've eaten far too much of it 😂

Hello everyone, first weigh in tomorrow so nil by mouth from 12pm 🤣 cheeky weigh in this morning showed a loss, but tbh I'd be happy with a gain because it would be less of a gain than if I'd not joined last week! I have been on it 5 days out of 7 though.

@SpongeBobJudgeyPants I'd still count an after eight as 1, just like I still use Philadelphia as a HEA sometimes. And I HATE frylight 🤣

Thanks

Sounds like a plan @PieonaBarm . Fingers crossed for tomorrow!
