    Ah, well I always buy my 'nanas green 'cause by the time I get round to eating them they're over-ripe. I used to love eating them green but I must be getting old now! :rolleyes:

  • Ive just been browsing the SW website and have seen a recipe thats left me confused. Its free on green, free on red yet 3 syns on EE. I dont get it, I thought food that was free on either day was also free on EE. Does anyone know why this would be? I hope Ive been doing this right!

    I cannot think of any permutaion that would cause this other than using HE's within the red/green plans..... hmm, could you post the ingredients (it could just be a good old fashioned typo!)

    had a nice dinner :

    King Prawns , fried with fresh garlic, dried chillis , some frozen mixed peppers and sweetcorn - drizzled a little sweet chilli sauce on and made egg fried savoury rice with it yummy.

    Gotta love EE

    that sounds nice. I am meant to be having chicken and rice pilaf for my tea tonight and think I might make as above :D minus the king prawns :mad:

    I have that horrible sick feeling in my stomach that I always get on Monday morning - thats right its weigh in day today:o I wonder if I will ever be able to approach a set of scales without feeling fearful and apprehensive:mad: I have been good all week and stuck to the plan, eating in the evenings cravings didn't hit me this week yet I am still so frightened getting weighed! I did have a big loss last week (4.5 lbs) and I have never managed to lose properly the week after a big loss so I am not expecting miracles today, but oh it would be nice:D Wish me luck everyone!

    Love
    Marion

    Marion, I'm the same today! Lost 5lbs last week and really don't think I've lost a jot this week (was naughty at the beginning of last week and had a big meal yesterday) :( Although the first time I did SW I put on in the second week for no explicable reason, but went on to lose 3.5stone! It's just that feeling, thats its only the second week in :eek: Fingers crossed for both of us!!
