Good afternoon allwhoop whoop on those loses ladies :j and hugs to those struggling...
Trixie - I agree about the bread -I went "cold turkey" when I started 23 weeks ago -and I haven't touched it since -even though I stil bake for hubby it really doesn't bother me -BUT I know that 1 slice would be enough to wake up the "bread monster"..I feel much better since I gave it up -less bloating, no cravings etc...


well folks -hubby is at a golf competition so won't be back until about 8pm -so Im just sorting myself out for today... so my green meal plan for today is:-

• didn't fancy brekkie
• 250ml semi (A)
• 250ml semi (A)
• 12 speed stew -nomnomnom
• melon
• 110g Rachels organic rhubarb yog (2)
• pasta
• peas
• onions
• sweetcorn
• 5 laughing cow light (B)
• 2 babybels (B)
• melon

SO thats my 2A+Bs but only 2 syns -so I will think about that later -I won't be using 5 triangles in my pasta -so if I get munchy later I will "buy" a couple of ryvitas to have with the spare ones and the babybel...Im looking forward to my meals today -coming from a dedicated RED girl -I can't believe that Im now having many more green days and I seem to enjoy them more .. mind -I was veggie/vegan for a long time so I shouldn't be that suprised should I

ooohh and I had a NSV earlier... a bit of an odd one ..but it made me ... we have a loft where there is a wooden ladder that folds down from the hatch -so I needed to go up there this morning ..anyway I scampered up there (I normally tippytoe -just in case)-then realised "something" was missing ...so on my way down I listened carefully and even bounced just to check..... and NO - NOT A SOUND TO BE HEARD
now normally I swear when I go on them I can hear the steps screaming "no no, get off" ....
Anyway -I had better get off ... Im off to eye up the sketchers shapers and the various other kinds of these shoes, after hubby told me to get some If I wanted them as "you are working so hard and doing so well" -bless his little socks...
right ladies... have a great day and keep up the great work..we are getting there

Here is my planned food diary for today, any comments or thoughts on this would be gratefully received, especially if you see something you think I am doing wrong. I am especially trying to work out if I am eating enough fruit and veg for EE??

I am doing Easy Easy today

Breakfast – half a small honeydew melon and a Fibreplus Bar (HEB)
Lunch – Pasta salad (made with extra light mayo 1 syn, ham and spring onion) and then a heap of lettuce, cucumber and cherry tomatoes (this took up much more space on the plate than the pasta)
Dinner – Baked Salmon, mashed tatties with cheese (HEA), broccoli and baked butternut squash. Activia yoghurt
Snacks daytime - Apple x 2, Satsuma x 2
Snacks evening - Pineapple and grape fruit salad (a massive bowl in the evening), raw carrots to munch on.


I am also aiming to make a butternut squash based soup tonight which I might have a bowl of instead of (or as well as) the fruit salad.

I tend to save my syns up for the weekend, I know it is not recommended but it worked fine for me last time so I am trying it again. If my weight loss does not work then I will rethink this.

Ended up with a Quorn 'chicken style' burger on a WM roll with a squidge of ketchup and a mug of lentil soup.

Have used 4 syns, 1 A and 1.5 B so far today.

Need to go hoover and mop kitchen and living room. Kitten will not be happy as he doesnt like the hoover.

So far today I have had a Cholesterol Lowering Drink (Tesco own, Strawberry) and a Plum. Mug hot water with a squirt of lemon juice (Jiff).

For lunch I am having a salad with some wafer thin turkey (Tesco) and salad cream (Tesco Light Choices).

For Dinner I am having some Chunky Dino rod soup and a roll (Tesco rustic bakery of some sort) with some Flora Pro Active Buttery spread.

OR we can have the wizzed up Dyno Rod sup in something but dont know what yet.

Snacks is a can of halved apricots in own juice (Tesco 234g). Possibly a large glass of weak Cherries & Berries squash (Tesco, sugar free) and a few large glasses of water or some more hot water to keep warm.

Exercise will be a brisk walk to postbox (10 mins) and if the weather stays dry I will continue round the small block to get the blood circulating to keep warm (total 30 mins).

does anyone know the calorie value of the speed soup ( dynorod soup )?
i don't count calories as doing SW but taking soup into work to share and one of my workmates counts every calorie !

Hi crisp £ note.

In order to have your healthy extra A- you need to have milk or cheese - this is for calcium
For semi skimmed milk it is 250ml, 175ml of whole milk, or 200 goats milk, or 350 soya milk. cheese options are 2x darylea lites, 6x laughing cow extra lights, or 2 mini babybels emmentals, or 3 mini babybel lites. there are a lot of options other than these . This is to make sure you take in enough calcuim.

In order to have your healthy extra b- this is for fibre.
If you choose a wholemeal roll with your soup 57grams then this would satisfy the need for healthy extra B ( or HEB as is written here) Other options are 2x alpen lite bars, 1x hifi bar, 2x pagen crisprolls etc. various cereals, eg 42g all bran, 28g kellog sustain, 28g grapenuts, 28g bitesize shredded wheat and loads of other options, also healthy extra b includes stewed dried & cooked fruits, , cereal bars, tinned soup, crispbreads, ryvitas etc

Hope this helps, hang in there. You might find it useful to write up a weekly meal plan of the sorts of things you are used to eating and asking us to guide how easy it would be to tweak on to SW.
