Phew managed to keep the monsters at bay!!!!! Think I just needed to confess to keep me on track thanks Saidan.

AnnangelUK - I know what you mean re: inspiration! Found a fab website this evening:
http://www.slimmingeats.com/blog/recipes

Spent the last hour converting some recipes so I can eat them and making cute recipe cards. It kept me out of the fridge anyway

Very excited for Syn Free Eggs Benedict in the morning:

Ingredients - Syn free on RED and GREEN

2 eggs poached
Syn Free Hollandaise Sauce
Bacon or Smoked Salmon (57g cooked bacon or 85g Smoked Salmon 1 HEB on green)
2 slices of white nimble bread (1 HEB, 1 HEB)

Syn Free Hollandaise Recipe

Nom nom nom nom!

Please try it and report back on the Hollandaise. I don't expect it to have that gorgeous rich mouthfeel - but can you pretend

Morning everyone, can I ask what you have for breakfast as this seems to be where I am struggling at the moment. I don't like milk so can't have cereal and don't like porridge. I get up at 6am in the week so don't have time to cook anything. I have been having cereal bar, yoghurt and fruit when i get to work but doesn't feel enough on a cold morning. At weekends I often have a SW fry-up or bacon sandwich which keeps me going but don't have the time for this during the week. Any ideas gratefully received

I normally have a kelloggs fiber plus bar (HEB) or 6syns - hits my choc fix and fills me up, plus fruit and yoghurt. Do yo have a microwave at work? could you take a bacon roll and re-heat the bacon? I sometimes have a bacon roll from the canteen at work.

Second weigh in this morning and I've managed to lose 4.5lbs!! :jSo happy.....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:, 6lb in two weeks!!!...not as well as I usually do in my first too weeks but I've have had a few 'off plan days' (very flexible syns) so I'm delighted.

Maybe this is a better way to do it...more sustainable...for me anyway!

Going to try SW sweet and sour chicken tonight....I love Saturdays when I can make freah meals, usually batch cook at the weekend and re-heat during the week!

What am I doing wrong - have been going to SW for 6 weeks and have lost 6lb - don't get me wrong - yes it's going down but a pound a week - really? And a sneaky peak today (yeah I know I shouldn't) is showing a flipping gain!!

Can someone look at my menu for today and see if they can see anything obviously wrong.

EE
B - Mullerlight and banana

L - SW vegetable quiche, baked beans, Mullerlight

D - Chicken and veg curry (SW recipe) with rice

S - 2 x Alpen Light (HEB), Cadbury fudge (5.5 syns)

milk in coffee (HEA)

You deffo need some salad/veg with your quiche at lunchtime - your plate should have 1/3rd superfree on it.
Could you add some more fruit at breakfast and tea?

As a newbie, can you just check that what I ate yesterday is OK on the EE plan please? I seem to be eating so much that I just want to make sure I am getting it right!

B - Banana, plums & mullerlight
S - Apple
L - Grilled bacon (no fat), cold potatoes left over from last night, tomatoes, salad, banana, pear
S - baby bel extra light (HEA); raw carrots
D - spaghetti bolognese (extra lean mince, mixed herbs, tinned tomatoes, peppers, onions, mushrooms cooked in ex virgin olive oil (HEB) & dried spaghetti) followed by a pomegranate.

Drinks were water, sugar free squash & black coffee.

I know I didn't have any syns but to be honest I was so full I didn't feel the need for them and I will have a couple of glasses of wine tonight so that'll make up for it!

I'm no expert but that looks great, I follow the EE plan too and eat loads. I always feel a pang of guilt as my friend who is doing WW sits at work with her tiny portions and there's me with a whole plate full! I never stop eating !!!!

Good luck on your journey and welcome.

What about baked beans? If you don't have time to nuke them at home then take them to work with you. I have mine with a slice of toast but they're fine on their own and then perhaps follow up with a banana.

That looks good. All I'd say is I hope you're not having just ONE Babybel!

I bought some of those Kelloggs hi fibre bars to try (milk chocolate) and I have to say I really like them. The perfect chocolate fix :T
