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).


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).

or try some pasta or potatoes with your salad at Lunch? you aren't eating enough hun,this would go in a Jacket Potato? and would taste really good?

i rarely exercise apart from running around at work and still lose weight,you also need a HEA of some sort,milk or cheese? those Laughing Cow Triangles are good in a Jacket with a pile of salad? (can you spot a theme here?)

its not really expensive to do SW but you do need to plan

Crisp £ note what kind of day is this? red, green or EE?? I can't tell from your day plan which are your HEBs/HEAs/syns - might help others offer some advice if you can include this too.

couscous covered in boiling water in a cereal bowl,then leave it for 5mins,then 'fluff' it up with a fork and throw some free yoghurt in there,i have to put a ton of fruit in it too,stick with it,it does take some getting used to!

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 .


I'm a little confused here cos I always thought that it was 4 x dairylea lights for a HEA

do you add any flavour to the dry couscous whislt cooking it?
I was thinking maybe using cinnamon or vanilla.

what kind of fruit do you use? Sultanas would be lovely but they aren't free are they? I guess apple would be nice. Need some more inspiration!! :think:

Sorry I haven't been posting much, have had quite a bad week. Only lost 0.5lbs at last WI, and was quite disappointed - although I know I shouldn't be!
I seem to have lost my motivation, but I know I mustn't give up.
Anyway, just wanted to say a quick hello and well done to all the losers :T.

I made mine with stewed apple and a tablespoon of dried cranberries along with lashings of cinnamon and nutmeg. It was foul although if id added a vanilla yog it might have been better, not sure. I didnt eat it so didnt syn it!

Stewed and dried fruit can also be HEB so maybe you could play around with those and see how it goes.

I personally think it would be better with rice pudding so will try that next time i go shopping and get the pudding rice that is needed.
