I never bother with butter in my Pasta n Sauces - it just don't matter! I do use the milk in the cheesy ones though but out of my allowance.

I've got a delivery coming from the supermarket today, I've ordered some of the chocolate Mullerlights, so I hope they are still in stock as they are on Rollback at Asda at £1.50 for 6.

Food today:

B: Porridge (heb), milk (hea), cherry jam (1 syn)
L: Leftover rice and butter beans and some leftover chicken with butternut squash
Pork meatballs, tomato sauce and pasta

Think I'll probably spend the rest of my syns on some mozzarella over the meatballs.

Hi thought I'd share yesterdays and todays 'Extra Easy' menus... I find that EE works really well for the weekend, with more family meals, but I think Red and green (and M2M) work better for my weekdays

Friday EE

B muller and banana, tea, milk (HA)
L SW chips, salad, tomatoes and cold turkey. 1tsp branston pickle (syns), 2 slices wm 400g bread (HB)
D - wow! - spiced pilau rice, chicken curry (Fantastic - Shahi Murgh from the curry feast book p 123), potato and spinach curry. ALL FREE! gin (2.5 syns) and slimline tonic, shared bottle of wine (12 syns)

Today EE

B muller and banana, tea, milk (HA)
L brunch - will be eggs, bacon, beans, toms, mushrooms, toast (HB)
D beef casserole - brisket, carrots, bovril, herbs, onions, mushrooms, all served with a big pile of mash and more veggies

no syns in the menu, so plenty for a drink tonight

Have a great weekend everyone

I know mullers are free but is it really ok to eat as many as you like?
I have been eating two or three as snacks/ desserts:rolleyes:

I have struggled so much today .. i really need some distractions for when i want to binge eat like tonight.

I really hope i can kick this bad habbit.

I also am finding myself cutting corners. Not properly measuring my flora light and maybe not doing my healthy extras probably , any tips to get into a good routine to avoid cutting corners?

Junior - are you letting yourself get hungry or are you eating out of boredom? If its hunger, then you need to eat more - obvious I know but cos you can have unlimited quantities you need to fill up on the superfree and if poss the superspeed foods. I have to have things ready to eat so its easy to grab and go, so I have made a huge stock pan full of soup that I can snack on and have frozen some so its a quick blast in the microwave, or I have carrot/celery/cucumber sticks sat in the fridge for me to pick at, goes great with a quark or yoghurt dip

If its boredom - what about walking, or a fitness dvd? I'm a nightmare - boredom hits me when kids are in bed and OH is at work, so Wii fit should be great but I can never be bothered to get ot out (Im so lazy)
Whenever the binge feeling starts you need to get on here and tell someone - there will always be the support and encouragement you need - Im newish to the thread but find it a great help!!!:p

In terms of gettng a good routine, I dont know - Im not one for measuring the milk I have but know roughly how many coffees I can have with it, could you measure the spread with a teaspoon - so you can see how much you can have?:rolleyes:

Hi all,

Heres my EE menu plan for today

B - didn't have it, got up late and had swimming lessons to go to (kids not me :rotfl: )
L - Homemade Country Veg soup - was lovely - really filling (1/2 syn)
D - Salmon, roasted vegetables in homemade honey dressing, syn free wedges or chips (1 syn)

HEA - milk for coffee
HEB - ???? dont know yet, usually Alpen Light bars tho
snacks will be fruit/muller

2 days to go until my first weigh in - really hoping for 3 or 4lb's but think thats a bit optimistic, mainly had and EE week as I find it so much easier and although many others have had a weight loss I'm not quite convinced that it will cos Ive eaten loads - have been a hungry a couple of times but think thats bad planning on my part.

I need ideas for college - I leave the house at 12 and get in at 9, theres no canteen facilities and no microwave etc so cant have something warm - maybe I could try soup in a flask (hmmmm) - would really appreciate some other ideas though??

I had swede and carrot mashed last night (was lovely) and am having it roasted tonight - looking forward to it.

Any sorry for long post
Zav
