The Big Fat List and the Days of Doom (TM) Part II - Revenge of the Diet Dodgers

[grinningbee]

Hi all!

Hope the title is ok - if not, someone else can do another one

Hi nice in here Bee. Plonks down grapes, and snack a jacks

I have lots of clementines to pass around Anyone for a cuppa?

Big weekly shop tomorrow, so will have more supplies to offer then

Nice one bee

Horrible storm here too...boring being stuck in.

God, does that stuff still exist?

I remember (many years ago) a recipe for a scanbran cake. Scanbran cake! That concept is just so wrong.

I have never knowingly even looked in the direction of scanbran, it is evil (so I hear)

It scours your insides out

Yeah, I seem to remember purchasing a pack of Scanbran out of sheer curiousity... that was in 1999 and I could probably still find them at the back of the cupboard

How many syns in an Alpen Light bar then cheese?

slinky 10 nuts = 4 syns and 1 alpen light bar is 3syns or if you are doing Extra Easy, you can have 2 as your Healthy B.

Nevery tried scanbran, but sounds like something DD is currently producing . Could do with having my insides cleared out!

cheese try prune juice, it has alarming effects on me I have searched in vain for the syn value of wasabi peas (M&S) would anyone have a current food directory with it in please?

Oh, I feel like the syn police today, they are 4.5 syns for one 28g bag. Ouch!

How many syns in prune juice then . Can't stand the stuff. Won't bore the oldies with my arse ailments again....

Got me best buddies coming over for dinner tonight. Must. Not. Drink. Icy. Cold. Chablis. With. Them

I don't look at the syn value of the prune juice as a large glass has spectacular purging effects so I think you just 'rent' it

Haha awesome! I will invest then!

You need a big tall glass and it needs to be drank fairly quickly.

Oh Lordy! Better save it till DH is around to tend to Dd! Ka-boom...

I'll just lay here in the corner quietly. I'm not feeling well, my whole body is aching but that didn't stop me eating Chinese chicken chowmein

I've got 18 days left at work before I break up for the summer holidays. I've not had a day off so far and I'm hoping to finish the school year that way. I doubt anyone else has noticed, but I know. Plus while I'm at work it's harder to stuff my face.

At friends house tonight, I was offered biscuits but I declined. What a good girl I was.

I'm off to lay down now, just waiting for the tablets to take effect.

oo hello may i join in?

i joined SW last week, have done it a brazillian times before, lost 2 stone with it 8 years ago and that is because i was doing it properly - last 3 or 4 times i messed around!

anyway i have been trying to shift 2 stone of post baby weight for two years i have just looked at a pic of me on the day i had DS and i swear my face looked slimmer then!!

right so i lost 3.5lb in the first week and am determined to do a steady 1-2lb per week. I have bought a 6 week countdown so could potentially lose a total of a stone by then [hopeful emoticon]

one question - i had homemade parsnip soup today, but can anyone tell me why a homemade soup made entirely of fresh vegetables is counted as syns? something to do with not digesting it the way it is intended - or something

ooo and i tried scanbran cake once before at a SW 'Taster night' crikey i actually in front of everyone - at least my insides were pristine for weeks!

and the activia fat free yoghurts are much nicer than mullerlights

evening, Scatbran ::shudders:: the scatbran cake was the final straw for staying for my SW meetings for me, the consultant had made some and everyone was tasting it saying how lovely it was it reminded me of Stepford Wives. I just go to be weighed and scarper now.

Summerbird I think if you liquidise it it maybe makes it easier to digest and so gains a syn value but I'm a tad cynical about that tbh. I've seen loads of soups on the web site that are free but they are not liquidized. Brazillian??

Kid sorry you are not feeling good, hopefully you will be better tomorrow.

Cheese I think i may be joining you on the prune juice

ahh unless you are doing a Red day then the parsnips are not free cos they are starchy (I think), but the would be free on EE and Green

Ooooh. I have a carton of prune juice in the fridge. Off to look up syn value now and report back...

Right. 142ml of prune juice is 4 syns. That's got to be worth it though for those "bunged up" weeks...

Hic! Cheese has drunk too much wine but had a fab evening with her oldest pals! I'm out tomorrow night too with the antenatal girls. But my mates told me I look like I've lost loads, but they'd say that even if I hadn't! ( while they sit there in size 8 skinnies)

Will catch up on Fred in the morning...DoD, I'm gonna be in the naughty corner

cheers Cheese

chin chin hedge..and bodyguard is on!

I missed DoD today as I jumped out of bed and into the shower. I'm not weighing myself with wet hair as that's likely to add at least 5lb
I'll see what my loss is next wednesday instead.
