are you on a green day? if so, maybe have a bowl of marion's breakfast rice (albeit it's evening!).

(pudding rice cooked with water for 20 mins, then mix through a mullerlight )

thanks for the idea - haven't got the ingredients today but will remember for another time! have just written up my food for today & have only used 4 syns so I have some lee way

Wow....it amazes me that it can work, but looking at this thread it does...does not sound a hard diet to follow...

Hi - hope you don't mind me joining in but I am starting SW (for the umpteenth time:o ) again tonight and only just found this thread the other day. I was so pleased about the egg mayo from Sainsburys BGTY and I have just found out the McCains Rustic Oven Chips are only 1syn for 100g and a 300g portion is more than even I can eat in one go so I have bought some of them along with the egg mayo. I joined SW about 6 weeks ago but didn't stick with it because I was doing EE and wasn't losing hardly anything. I have a HUGE amount to lose and was spurred on to try again by that couple who lost 20 stone who were on GMTV yesterday. This time I am going to try again with EE because it is so easy to follow but I am going to limit my syns to 10 (I was having 15 - 20 before) and I am going to weigh all my syn stuff and HE A and B's which I wasn't doing before. I just have one question about EE (my consultant couldn't answer it ) - If you are doing EE and want to eat, say, a packet of 98% fat free noodles, savoury rice or pasta n sauce as a snack is it free? The people in my class said that they are only free on a green day and would have to be syns on an EE day but I don't think so - surely the principle of EE is that anything which is free on a green or red day is free on an EE day - or am I wrong?

Yup, you are right, if its free on red or green it free on EE & if it has syns you count the lower syn value. Remember you can only have 1 HE A & 1 HE B when on EE though.

You are right - anything that is free on a red day or a green day can be eaten on an EE day freely, at any time.

Remember though - for the best and fastest results, aim to have 1/3 of your daily food as SUPERFREE food.

Hello everyone :wave:

Some of you might remember me from a while back, I remember some of your names. I joined SW in January 2008 and got to my target loss of 1st 10lbs last June. I stayed within my target range until January this year but had put on half a stone by the time I went again, eight weeks later!

After the end of the first week I lost 1lb and this week I have lost 2lbs and also got Slimmer of the Week, surprisingly. I have another 4lbs to lose to be back within my target range but ideally I would like to lose another half a stone and reset my target to be a round 2 stone in total. I'm just addicted to those little target stickers!

Anyway, I have managed to lose both weeks so far, but I haven't been very good, so this week I am going to:

1. Have planned treats every day (the syn values are already written on the Fudges and Curly Wurlys in my cupboard!)
2. Drink loads of water
3. Read this thread every day for ideas and motivation

Look forward to seeing you all here!

Hello shiny new thread . Just checking in really. Doing ok this week. Made the spaghetti meatballs from one of the old books "50 Best Recipes, think it came free with something - they were great. WI later, so I'm hoping for 1 or 2 lbs. Taking mum out to Italian on Sunday so I'm going green and hope to keep the syns to a minimum. Any advice for eating at the Italian?
