It really depends on what's being cooked! I have a gas bbq so use it every other day. In the last week I did salmon, pork chops, lamb chops, burgers, potatoes, sweetcorn, green beans, giant mushrooms and asparagus and all free.
Could you maybe bring a free pasta/potato salad to have on the side and fill up on if needs be?

You could marinate it in soy sauce, worcesthire sauce, spices, all free. Sorry cant spell that W sauce lol.

Detoxing is a marketing gimmick - it has absolutely no basis in reality. You are not detoxifying your body. Drinking water is just good for you, whether you soak it in fruit or not.

Ya well I feel great after it and lemon water is a well known detox drink.

Good that you feel great. Lemon water doesn't detox you, detoxing isn't actually a thing. It is first and foremost a marketing gimmick. Spend 45 seconds doing some research online and you won't find a single reputable bit of research that says detoxing is a thing.

Just made the apple betty from the SW app...Why is it 2 syns per portion though? Everything I used is free eg eggs, apples, fat free natural yoghurt. Sultanas are hardly 12 syns for example for the whole thing are they? By the way it's yummm

You have to syn cooked fruit, would that do it? 2 syns per 113g apparently!

andreac

Yes its the cooked fruit. Once it's not in its natural state it has to be sunned. So fruit that's juiced or cooked then has a syn value.

I really feel like a different person, 2.5 lbs away from having lost 6 stone in total. I will never go back, I have found a plan that I can stay on for the rest of my life.

I have gone from a size 24 top to a size 14 top and size 26 trousers to a size 16 trousers.

Congratulations! You look absolutely incredible. Seriously well done. It's a massive commitment, I wish I could steal some of your determination.

You seem to have lost about 10 years along the way as well . Really well done. You look like a totally different person. It's brilliant that you've enjoyed doing it too. Well done

Weighed in tonight after missing last week and only down a pound. I'm really disappointed. Had a really good week last week and 5 really good days the week gone so I thought it would be more. I'm really feeling disheartened now.

Aw try not to let it send you off the rails, chances are you'll have a greater loss next week.
And I know it's practically my mantra but a loss is a loss, between hormones and everything else we all experience smaller losses from time to time

I always love the look on a new member's face when the leader asks me what I'm going to do to escalate my loss and I say 'I'm going to try to eat more'
Good on ya and good luck for next week

Down a pound! I felt a bit guilty after pizza lunch on Friday so did SP the last 3 days. Found it fine so will probably do it when I come back from hols in a couple of week! Nice to have the extra hex B - I just had a free bagel with chocolate quark (quark + hot choc powder and a little sweeter) - delish!
