If I'm going wrong anywhere, could someone point me in the right direction. Don't want to have put on weight at my first weigh-in on Thurs

Rachel, that looks like a great menu (yum!!) and plenty of superfree on there Id say you are deffo on the right lines. When I eat as much as this I sustain a good loss! :beer:

Ive had a good day on EE today, it does work for me and Im not as hungry as usual on greens:

Break: Punnet of strabs and some rasperrys & half a muller vanilla- HEA skim milk in tea
Snack punnet of strawbs and bluberries and the rest of the muller
lunch: Egg, 3 lean bacon, loads mushrooms and some baked beans- slice toast HEB
Snack marmite rice cakes (4) with ff cottage cheese
Dinner: small jacket, spicy roast chicken, sweet potato wedges and a salad radish lettce pepper and SW coleslaw (1/2 syn)
Treats: maltester bunny (?8?)


Will make my nice Ainsley couscous with salady bits for lunch tomorrow with 3 pagens, a pot of cottage cheese and loads of chopped lean chicken. berries and yog for pud So pleased,- my local market does punnet of strawbs for 59p :j bargain!

Lynzpower - I know cous cous is a free food on extra easy (and I assume green) but I love Ainsley couscous - how many Syns is that because of the extras in it?

Also what are pagens?

Thanks from a bewildered newbie!

Pagens - aren't they a type of religion? :rotfl:

Naw, they are a type of crisproll, imagine a wholemeal bread roll slices in half and then toasted until its completely dry.

They are rather nice, and I do like the idea of them with syrup - thanks whoever posted that gem!

Ainsley spice sensation is 1/2 syn per packet on EE or green- I have half a packet.

I chop in half a pepper, some radishes, spring onions, bit of red onion, sometimes some griddled courgettes, handful of rocket or baby spinach whatever I have in. All these are superfree.

I get fat free cottage cheese - free

And Pagens are scandinavian crisprolls, you get a bag for about a pound in the ryvita section. 3 of them are a HEB. the other day i had ryvita minis instead ( HEB)

I have this on green days in a big tupperware. On EE days add some lean chopped chicken or ham whatever meat i have in.

This is really filling. On a green day I dont bother with the meat and have 2x alpen lite cereal bars with it A pot of fruit as well makes for a really filing lunch ( quite cheap as well) and increases the superfree massively - Id say the superfree in this is about half ( to stretch out the small amount of couscous )

I think its good for this hot weather as I can go out and eat this in the park its very portable

:rotfl: they are to me, I have to say im a bit obsessed with them!

Does anyone know- I saw in that ryvita now have crackers out they are high fibre apparently) ayone know if these are HEB

ALso are ryvita thins HEB - I think the answer is no to this is it?

Cooked pork today for the first time since starting SW, took a phenomenal amount of will power not to eat crackling (well I did chew on a tiny bit:o). Won't be doing that again in a hurry, far too tempting. Plus I ate veg that had been cooked round it so they probably had pork fat in with the meat juices.

Today's not been a very bad day but good to get back to 'normal' tomorrow:

B: NAS Ribena, bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, HE toast, HE milk in teas
L: ham, cucumber and marmite sandwich
pork, roast parsnips, carrots, new potatoes, cauli and cabbage plus gravy with cornflour (2?)

Snacks: Cabernet/Shiraz
