**Happy New Slimming World Year**

Dontknowanymore

Morning all.
I really need to check in a bit more.
Anyway, brand new week! Back to school tomoz, canny wait to get back into a normal routine!
I'm having an EE day today, going to make burgers and chips for tea :drool:

Woo did my at home WI and I've lost 2.5lbs this week (well 5 days actually as I WI'd last Weds after xmas!) :j. Pleased with that

Does anyone here drink green tea? If so does it 'aid' weight loss in anyway? Or are there any other benefits to drinking it? I was given a free box recently, and I hate tea normally (I'm a coffee gal) but I tried it and it was just about tolerable to drink. So wondered if there was a benefit to one or 2 cups a day.

Good morning all :Dand thanks for all the congratulations *aww shucks* -you are a lovely bunch

Don'tknowanymore -I have been doing SW for 38 weeks now and it has flown by -it only feels a few weeks since I joined the lovely bunch on here :j


Well folks we have had a bit more snow over night..will it ever stop!!!!!... anyway Im having a red day today "suprise":p it should look like this:-

• 250ml semi (A)
• orange
• banana
• vegetable soup
• frozen berries
• activia (2.5)
• pork chop
• mushroom/peppercorn sauce (3)
• loads of mushrooms
• onions
• single cream
• crushed peppercorns
• 198g potato (B) -wedged in:-
• 1/4tsp oil (0.5)
• carrots
• frozen berries
• activia (2.5)
• 250ml semi (A)
• fibre plus bar (B)

So that should be 2A+Bs and 8.5 syns accounted for -in which case I may "buy" some peas/corn to go with dinner tonight ...or some more milk for my cuppas!

I need to get on the wii later -my new year pledge is to really get some exercise done on a regular basis.. I used to do loads but I have been slacking off -I got 1.5hrs in yesterday -although some of it wasn't exactly high energy burning . Hopefully when hubby gets to work on Wednesday it won't be long before my amazon order arrives -I have a couple of new bits coming -hopefully they will give me a good workout...
Right I will get off for now.... have a lovely day -and keep up the great work...

Wow MrsM that's an amazing weightloss in that time, may I ask what how much more you have to loose?

I want to loose 6 more stone but ultimately 7 depending on what I look like when I get to 6, I have a big bum and thighs, the big bum comes from me caribbean nan lol so don't think it's going to completely shrink, so dont want to end up looking like this skinny minnie with a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge batty! :rotfl:

Very helpful thanks so much! :beer:Will have a green day this week and use it as my 2nd HEB
Odd tho... Does Ricotta have fibre in it??? I thought it was just cream cheese! Figured it would be HEA if anything!?:think: [

Soft cheese does contain enough calcium to count as a HEA on any plan - it is only a HEB on green or the protein content

On red and EE you get protein in meat and fish so SW make you use your HEB for fibre rather than potentially more protein

I understand what you're saying re the ricotta as a HEB for protein on the green plan, but if it can be counted as a HEA on any plan, why is it not listed? I like soft cheese and would use it as a HEA if I could!

Dont worry about that hun, think Rihanna!! Or J-Lo! They are both slim ladies with booty!!

I personally would love to have a bigger bum.. when i was bigger i had a bit of a butt and then when i started losing it was the first thing to go!!

I have no idea what to have for my tea tomorrow - and this is where I am after your help ? I would be very grateful if you could all share a day's menu be it green/red or extra easy.

I need some inspiration to help me get back on track and would be interested to see what plans you all follow so I can nab some ideas !

Thank you in advance and Happy New Year everyone :j:D:j

Hiya Eric

I find it easier to follow EE

I usually start the day with a 'grab' from the fruit bowl, around mid morning i eat an Alpen Lite bar

L- usually something with beetroot,LOVE the stuff! so its either a JP with cheese (A) and beetroot,or egg and bacon salad with beetroot

D - I make this wonderful chicken,pasta and passata

brown off the chicken in Fry-Lite,with garlic and onion
Cook some pasta,as its going to be covered in sauce i use brown pasta,the kids can't tell then!
if you've no veg cooked already,throw some veg in with your pasta
make up a veg/chicken stock cube
throw it all together,my hubby likes a big splash of chilli paste in his
then eat it with a spoon from a bowl,yummy and FAST!

pudding is usually Muller or more fruit and watching tv i have my 2nd Alpen Lite (B)

now this is no syns day,as i have hot water and no tea,but you could 'buy' milk for tea or drink NAS juice? and then you can have a creme egg for (8) syns!
