S: Velvet crunch (4)
Ham, watercress, cucumber, pickle (1), el mayo (0.5) sandwich (HEB), cherry tomatoes, celery sticks

Salmon, new potatoes, sugarsnap peas, baby sweetcorn, salad. skinny cow lolly (3.5)

I'm trying to remember things (without the illusive book...probably under my bed) the consultant said when I went a year ago, please correct me if I'm wrong:

Green
2 HEA
2 HEB
unlimited pasta, rice and potatoes with veg & fruit
meat = syns or part of HEB

Red
2 HEA
2 HEB
unlimited meat, chicken and fish (no fat) with veg & fruit
carbs = syns or part of HEB

Extra Easy
1 HEA
1 HEB
mix and match everything

SE...I've just found out is Success Express
???

How does the extra cheese work with the Green?

Sorry for being dim - but it's the age that's doing it, I'm convinced!!

Just remembered something I was going to say about Success Express (SE)......don't forget that when calculating syns you have to count the highest valu so if it would be 3 syns on red and 4 on green then you have to count 4.

Oh and snacks should be superfree or HEs.

That's really useful lisa, and the other main difference is that you should have 2/3 of superfrees on SE (Success Express) rather thaan just 1/3.

Good to hear you're feeling perkier today briansdaughter.

Shame about those tickets minxtress but well done on planning a coffee at lunchtime. Don't be tempted!

Primmer, I just loved your menu plan for yesterday!:rotfl:I've started to dream about what I might do when I get to target. I'd love the odd pasty, a fish & chip supper WITH batter , a fattier cut of lamb (like shoulder perhaps) and stuffing!:) I know I could have all these things now if I wanted but I find it easier to eat low syn and keep syns for treats otherwise I think I'd want both.

I'm about half a stone to go but my real aim is to get into any Size 12 (currently can only do expensive ones or those that are the right 'shape'). I may rejig my target accordingly but that will all come AFTER my holiday next month.

Today's EE menu:
B: NAS squash, kippers, HB toast, HEA milk in teas, satsuma
L: salad sandwich, bowl of berries with fromage frais
smoked haddock, spring onion mash, roast veg
Snacks: perhaps apple and cottage cheese

Hi everyone

Is it ok to join everyone, ive been reading the thread everyday for aaages. ive been doing slimming world for just over a year now and im 4 pounds short of my 4 stone award and 6 1/s pound off my target. but its going so sloooooowly at the mo. Reading all the earlier post from the last 24 hours (there where loads, my word you lot cant half talk) and i think it was Skintslimmers post about what happens when you get near to target thay made loads of sense.

Wi is on a monday and i lost 1lb but yesterday was not a prticularly good day, cant mke my mind up if it as green or ee but either way i either had a either too many syns or an extra b choice. Im going to try and mix my days up now as for the last year ive done ee religously. Did a green week last week for the first time and lost the 1 (which is a big amount for me as its usually half)

So anway meal plan for today, trying success express
B-ff onken and a nana
L-savoury rice, salad and grapes
D-Chicken breast with nandos sauce (1 1/2 syns worth), huge salad and More fruit
Rocky bar 5 syns,

Afternoon all

Well done on the losses everyone :T

What a bunch we are .... I normally sleep really well - so Mondays nights shinaningins was odd -luckily-last night was fine :j , Good job too as I made my As* get out of bed and to the gym this morning -even though it was the last thing I felt like. I did 4km and then walked home -twas lovely and refreshing on the walk back. I did 4km as it was sooooooo hot n humid as all the machines were in use -so lots of hot sweaty squaddies and little ole me -a splodge of bright pink in a sea of green (and I mean my face not my top) :rotfl:

SO then I am sticking with my red carb curfew (sorry I can't remember who but someone asked about my carb curfew -I just don't eat any carbs after my 12pm lunch -so my 2heBs are used at brekkie/lunch )as usual and it should look like this:-
7:30
banana
apple
12pm
28g chorizo (2.5)
onion
spinach
28g cheddar (A)
71g peas (B)
4pm
melon
activia (2.5)
7pm
rump steak
1/4tsp oil (0.5) - to stri-fry
onions
mushrooms
spinach
broccoli
250ml semi (A)
SO I make that 2A+1B and 5.5 syns .. I will add the extra syns later when I decide what concoction Im using to marinade the beef mmmmm

Im really looking forward to my food today :T for lunch I dropped the thinly sliced chorizo in a hot wok, threw in the onion and softened -then threw in the peas n spinach until wilted and then tossed through the cheese mmmmm it was SCRUMMY
Im still trying to dig out some new recipes -so that will be my mission this afternoon...

Confused -yep I can do the shred DVD everyday -but I still stick to level1 as I see no point in half doing level 2 as I know I couldn't do it all yet
Right thats more than enough waffle.... have a lovely day everyone,,,

It was me asking about the carb curfew.

After my WI last night and a gain of 1.5lbs maybe I should try it.
I rather think it was being completely off plan for the week that was the problem though.

Right, back on the tank.:o

Thanks MRS M - I did do level 1 and level 2 but it nearly killed me. I have done level 1 again today but don't think I should have cos my knees are really aching now. I am going to persevere though, not one to give up. Thanks for all your lovely recipes and support for everyone. x
