**Happy New Slimming World Year**

5 lbs off! Well done Vixie! And thanks to TEECEE for saying what I was trying to say <<<< back there but saying it in a much clearer way! Superfree and Superspeed are just too close in sound and people do often confuse them. (speaking of superspeed, many record losses are recorded when people have a "fish" week using haddock, cod, etc - the superspeed fish)

I am now off into town, wearing tights and boots (!) to try on them there knitted dresses and skirts - the girls at work say my figure will look fine in 'em so I will let you know. I also have a stack of things for the charity shop, and the skirt I am wearing is held up with two safety pins. I'm not a skirt gal usually, but I really fancy showing off my new shape!

struggling on superfree foods as im a very fussy eater and i think apples are the only one i like

I'm the same (only eat veg and grapes) so if grapes are expensive and the meal doesn't really have veg in it them I found myself cheating and claiming I was doing EE but I wasn't having my third of a plate.

I've looked into doing green or red instead now on those days.

Morning all,

I'm also the same, getting confused with superspeed/superfree/free, etc.

I've found the same thing Lil-Me, where I wasn't always getting the full 1/3 superfree foods on the plate, especially with some meals. That's mainly why I've gone over to doing the odd green day this week, and also so I can get a couple of extra HEa/b's.

Today I think I'm going to go Extra Easy again, because I've planned that we'll be having homemade burgers tonight, with SW chips. Rather looking forward to it. Lunch is going to be eggs & bacon.

So today's plan looks something like this:

B - FF Activia, banana
L - bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomato, beans, slice of wholemeal bread [HeB]
D - h/m extra lean burgers (mixed with gherkin/onions/garlic/seasoning), SW chips, mixed salad
[HEa] - milk for teas
No syns to far, but may allow myself a treat of some chocolate later.

I've felt much hungrier this week, so have been having larger dinners, but having got on the scales 1st thing this morning, I've not seen a shift in them. I'm worrying that this eating as much as you like m'larky isn't going to work with me.

Also, MRSM, when you're having a green day, why is it that you weigh out your potato/pasta? Are you trying to have some kind of strict portion control as well as the SW principles? Just a thought if this is something I should also be doing, or if it's something you've decided for yourself, and isn't a SW theory?

Right, off to do lunch now. Have a great Saturday everyone, oh, and Happy Birthday Betty!!!

In a strange way how great that your skirt is so big, you must be so happy that you've lost so much! I'm currently having to wear a hair bobble around the button of my jeans to give it an extension cos i can't do them up :eek: can't wait to get to the stage where they will be falling off me, well done Blackberry. :T

Well done to Vixie_Pixie too, fabulous weight loss. Lets hope we all do as well this week.

Well i've literally only just got up so i've missed breakfast, one cup of tea downed to try and wake me up and i'm off out to the DIY shop.

so food plan today - green day

B - cup o' tea (2)
L - jacket spud, half a pasta n sauce(1) cheese (HEA&B)
T - Spaghetti carbonara made with quark, eggs and bacon with a wee bit of parmesan(HEB) (HEA)
S - Crisps (4.5) satsumas, apple, choc (4)

Does anyone know roughly how many bacon rashers equal a HEB? it says 85g in the book - is this about two? (in my head i want it to be 4:rotfl:)

Have a great day everyone x

I would have liked to have said 'good morning' just for a change....but yet again I appear to have slept a little longer than intended

well done Pixie on that amazing loss hun :j:j

Woohooo Blackberry......off to get yourself some slinky little numbers eh to show off the new you you go girl :T x x x

Well Im glad (in a not nasty way) that im not the only one thats come through xmas and ended up confused now with the whole plan makes me feel like i'm not the only one having permanent blonde moments :rotfl: I'm sure it will click back into place in a day or two......but boy its hard work having to 'think' again

MRSMCAWBER

Good afternoon all.......got here eventually -
Well done on the losses folks :j
Sarymaclary... nope you aren't supposed/expected to weigh potato/pasta etc on green days but I do as initially it kept me in check with portion size, I had issues with leaving things on my plate so if there was more on Im was liable to shove it down regardless:o To be honest I stuggle to eat 50g dry weight of pasta :jand I figure that if a 227g potato is big enough on red days then its big enough on green;) ....
I generally pick green days when I want more cheese or when I want peas n corn without synning them, even though I still weigh them.
I hope that makes sense -well it does in my head :rotfl:

we popped out for a ride to the naffi this morning since the roads are finally clear of snow ...



So then -today is a bit messed up as of yet as we were out this morning and so brekkie was missed, and I got a pack of fridge raiders in the naffi as I was hungry -although at 3 syns I knew I was ok with them... so then my RED day looks -or should look like this:-

• 250ml semi (A)
• 1 pack fridge raiders (3)
• 4 plums
• apple
• activia (2.5)
• salmon fillet
• tickled cabbage
• tickled beetroot
• 4 plums
• grapefruit
• 250ml semi (A)
• fibre plus bar (B)

hmmmm now that doesn't really look as good as it should but uses 2A+1B and 5.5syns ... and I will see what to do with the other B+syns if I need them later.. might have some ryvitas to use my B and a bit of cheese to use some syns . I will see if I have room for it later -the fridge raiders n plums have me filled up
Hubby has requested lasagne tonight -I don't fancy it -but I will still make it SW as I do normally then I can freezer the other portions and know they are fine for me too....
right I will get off and settle down for a read -hubby is watching Leeds play on the TV so earplugs might be an idea
have a lovely day everyone...

Another green day for me:)

Had a lie in this morning so had a brunch of a weetabix and a banana and a cuppa.
Using 1.5A for milk and 0.5 A for cheese

Will use the other 1/2 of my B for an alpen later on and a WM roll will be another B.

Will have dinner before i go to work tonight.

WM roll, quorn burger (2.5), SW chips in my shiny new Actifry (2) for the oil, (1) for ketchup and will probably have beans too. So that is 5.5 syns and both A+B accounted for.

Will take some fruit/yog/alpen to work for when i'm hungry later. Might sneak a kitkat in too:D So probably 11 syns by the end of the day.

Well done Vixie Pixie on your loss:T
