    Peachy - good luck with everything - have you got a charity shop near you? They often have baby stuff cheap. Join the Pampers Baby club and others for free samples.

    Marion - I am weighing tonight as well. I have really stuck to the plan and have lost so well every weigh in but I got on the scales this morning and think my weight may have gone up! Oh well - that's life!

    HELP - I wanted a snack and spread Quark in the grove in a piece of celery. I did enjoy it and I am right in thinking that is all free - aren't I? I'm on a green day today.

    Have tried making a quorn sausage casserole - it is in the oven at the moment. It's chopped quorn sausages, chopped onions, chopped leeks, passata and 3 oxos (4.5 syns) which I'll have with some plain mashed potatoes. (Mashed with full fat milk, butter and cream - :rotfl: - in my dreams!! As long as it stays there it is syn free!!!)

    thanks ossireo , just can't get my head around mixing red &green ?

    Yes, its the hardest part especially when you are already so set in a mindset of Red & Green. I try hard to just think of things as Free Foods now rather then belonging to either (that sounds odd lol, I mean I am just trying to banish thinking Red & Green :rotfl:) Also have a look at some of the diet sheets people have pointed out here, I think Marion does EE all the time now as well as some others :)

    Nosonddu - yes celery (YUK!) and quark (Double YUK!) are both free (on all days I believe?)

    Sorry I've not replied sooner and I guess everyone knows what's what by now.

    I actually lost weight over the hols :A but only because the whole family have been laid up with some dreadful 'bug'! Most of the Christmas food has gone off, and we've only just got round to feeling like eating.

    Still, judging by some of the gains, at least there's a silver lining :rotfl: :rotfl:

    For those who haven't had their briefing yet:-

    There are just 3 steps to an Extra Easy start:

    1. Choose your Free Food

    Anything that’s Free Food on Green OR Original – so that’s pasta, rice, potatoes, lean meat, poultry, fish and all the Superfree food – is totally Free on Extra Easy! Yes, you can eat unlimited meat, potatoes and veg, fish, chips and mushy peas, and chicken curry and rice with no measuring, no weighing, no counting – no kidding!
    And for super-fast, super healthy results, fill one third of your plate with Superfree Food!
    2. Choose your Healthy Extras

    Each day select one Healthy Extra ‘a’ choice and one Healthy Extra ‘b’ choice from our simplified list of calcium and fibre-filled foods, including milk, cheese, bread and cereal. (No need to choose chicken, new potatoes or wholemeal pasta as Healthy Extras – they’re all Free with Extra Easy!)
    3. Enjoy 5-15 Syns each day

    And if the Syn values for Green and Original foods are different on the standard Syns lists, count the lower one!
    THANKS consultant 31,and ossireo , nosuddu , for help
  • Hi All,
