Hi all

Well I weighed myself this morning as I said I would and am not happy still I put it on and it is up to me to take it off

As I am not going to meetings can I ask if someone can have a look at this to see if I am on the right track as I am going by memory at the moment until I have 5 mins to dig out my books

Today meals have/will be

B 28g porridge, milk HEA
L 1/2 tin baked beans, 1 wholemeal bread from 800g loaf so HEB
D Home made thick vegetable soup, potatoes, onions, courgettes, carrots, suede, leeks and a tin of tomatoes

Snacks banana, fat free mullerlight
Syns may have a small spiced rum with diet coke or two

Does this look alright for a GREEN do you think? I would be grateful if anyone can take the time to look

Thanks and good luck everybody

I've just got the new book and you now get 35g of porridge as a Healthy B! (And you don't have to eat a scan bran with it either!)


Just back from weigh in - not happy! My only Christmas luxury was Christmas cake - and I ate far too much and I put on 8.5lbs!

Now some of that is hormones as the PMT fairies are resident in great numbers.

Needless to say the rest of the cake has been forcefed to DD1 and OH and I am so determined.......

Off to have a FF Activia and a bath - but not together!:D

1 pound gain for me tonight so not as bad as I was expecting. So tired now I could quite happily trot off to bed ! but will try to plan some meals first. 21 boxes to be filled in with healthy meals and superfree food

New week - new start!

Thanks for the replies. Have weighed DD and just filled in the red book (told her I was just doing her yearly check that the school would do) and she is 9kgs over the 50th centile and on the 91st centile.

So I need to get a grip on this now, going to post a thread to see if there anyone else who has done this with their young girls.

She knows full well what is healthy and what is not, however, that does not stop her sticking it in her mouth and she will have a tantrum over it, what I need is for her to actually see that the food is bad for her. As an example, she will load her bowl up with weetabix minis - what she is actually eating is 5 portions so I have started making both kids measure the portion out with a pot. I think knowing how many syns it is will help her more - and will stop her stealing the food as well.

She has school dinners - should I be changing this to a packed lunch? My son has packed lunch and so eats with us in the evening but we do things like putting extra cheese on his food. What is hard is things like yogurts, her not be having to have what her brother has.

While I do not want to get fixated on the scales, if she is under the doctor then she will be weighed so then there will be focus on the scales. Hard to find a happy medium.

Do you attend a group ? If so, ask your consultant about the plan they have for 11-15 year olds (I think it is called Free2Go) Your daughter would be too young to attend but your consultant may be able to give you some pointers. I haven't seen the plan and don't know much about it but I think it is based on the food optimising plan we follow but concentrates on healthy food swaps. Another poster may be able to offer you more info.

i rejoined a group tonight! i figured the money i'll save from not boozing and getting takeaways will more than cover the £4.95.

rather excited to read the two whole extra grams of cheese we now get!!!! :j

also that tomato puree is now free too, really useful for giving homemade pasta sauce a bit of a tomatoey kick. tbh i never used to syn this :shhh: i didn't see the point when it worked out 1 teaspoon over a sauce doing 4 to 6 portions was under 0.5 syns. i wouldn't be surprised if that was SW's reasoning too. consultant said only reasons for 2g of cheese was making legal what we all did anyway and it looks better in metric as 30g.

bit of a scales shock thou. I'm now over 3 and a half stone over my previous SW target weight. can't quite believe its that much extra weight on me.

Is there any way that people who have the new book can let us know what the changes are? like cheese, cereal and milk etc...? I'm concerned I'll carry on with the old system and get things wrong now.

Well day 3 back on track and I am freezing - can;t get warm! Brrrr, I have been running to the loo (for a number 1) every hour - hopefully it's all the water, lotus tea and fruit I've been eating!!!

I've been on EE today!

Breakfast - muller light and banana, Costa Skinny Hot choc small (HEA) plus 3 syns (not sure if this is enough)?
Snack - apple and grapes, Chicken
Lunch - Homemade spicy butternut squash soup (tweaked with added potatoe - makes it lovely and thick yum) wholemeal bread roll (HEB)
Snack - Ham, Muller light
Tea, Actifry chips, spray oil (yum yum), 2 x ww sausage (3 syns), mashed carrot and swede, cabbage and sweetcorn
Snack satsuma, Grapes

Does this look ok? Any one have any ideas on the Costa skinny hot choc? I've googled it but it was very sketchy!

Thanks in advance...:p

i'll get my books out and do a big compare for you all and post it on here. tbh i thinks its mostly just rounding out HEA/B values.
