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

Lol - no I am eating my full quota of them as per HEB list.

Thanks everyone for having a look. Having done WW for years as a yo-yo dieter I am finding this strangely liberating! Just hope the scales show a loss on Monday.

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

can you have boiled egg? when I've been up at 6, i get up, put that on straight away and then get ready whilst its cooking. (i like them properly hard boiled). toast is pretty quick too, if you just have one slice and have fruit/yogurt/egg with it then you still have a slice left for later if you want it.

I have a mahhhooooossssivvvvve bowl of fresh fruit with fat free yog (normally plain but you could have a muller light) and cereal as HEB - I find it much more filling than milk and the cereal stays crunchy

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?

Thanks - will give it a go and see if it speeds things up! Thought it was fine to hide my superfree in the meal but maybe that's slowing my loss.

Todays menu

EE

B - Mullerlight and banana

L - Ham and salad sandwich (HEB), mullerlight and apple

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!

I missed my first class on Tuesday as I didn't get the car back from the garage in time. I am dying to start because I feel sure I am getting wrong because I am eating for Scotland.

Today I have had:

B: 28g porridge cooked with frozen forest fruits with Total 0% yoghurt stirred in.

s, an apple. I have watermelon and pineapple for later

L. (is this really possible?) a slice of lean ham, baked beans, 2 grilled tomato and an onion and mushroom omlette made with 2 eggs.

d. Quorn mince with cabbage, carrots and potato.



Yesterday I ate:

B - same as today
snack: cherry toms, mangetout, plum and satsuma

L. Large tuna baked potato and a mound of carrots, grapes

d. 2 slices lean roast beef, gravy made with 2 teaspoons bisto brocolli and mixed veg, apple

I went swimming yesterday. I am eating more than before I started, Very different foods, but more. Is this really ok?

Prudent - under the revised book you now get 35g porridge for a HEB! Enjoy!:T:T:j:beer:

Thank you. I am going to give this a go. I have weetabix or shredded wheat in the cupboard. Is either ok?

Todays Menu for me - RED (my HEA's go a bit weird, I'd be glad of some help with this please anyone!)

B - Rice Krispies & sugar (6 syns), 111ml skimmed milk, 120ml semi-skimmed for cups of tea in the day. Generally class these 2 different milks as one HEA.

L - 2 x Nimble white, turkey, light spread (2 syns), rolled up turkey slices stuffed with 3 x Extra light laughing cow (1/2 HEA), jelly (0.5 syn), 2 mini gingerbread men (2 syns)

D - Tablespoon of mash (1 syn), Portabello mushroom stuffed with 1 Babybel light (1/2 HEA), Chicken wrapped in bacon stuffed with 1 x Extra light laughing cow and 42g of Mozarella light <-- assuming I have to syn this bit as I've gone way over my A's for today?

Hi will try to help but I only have the old book and unsure if any of the HEA choices have changed but here goes:-

350 ml skimmed milk - so half would be 175ml
250 ml emi skimmed - so half would be 125ml

Well within the quota so far...

6 laughting cow extra light - so half would be 3
so that would leave you half a HEA to use...

Unable to see mozarella light under my HEA choices in the book I have, but 28g is 2.5 syns so about 4 syns for 48g ....bare with me here working it out whilst typing ..... plus an extra light triangle is 1 syn.

Totalling 5 syns...but (and not sure if any of the others would do this)?? could you take off the 3 syns for the half a HEA and just count it as having both HEA and 2 syns? (may be a tweak)???

Sorry to be sooo long winded just trying to help - sorry if it's incorrect advice - but it's nothing I wouldn't do

Hope fully one of the 'wise ones' will be able to correct me if I'm wrong!!! :j

Good luck

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

Completely agree....and being a chocoholic they are they only things (and curly wurly's) that are steering me away from the lovely stuff!!!!

Enjoy....I must remember to put them onto my shopping list this week!!!
