I don't think you have to snack on fruit but it it recommended that superfree is your first choice when snacking... but if you don't want fruit with your cheese&crackers don't have it

I personally don't eat the pasta'n'sauce things but if I had I'd have it with some veg/salad

I guess you need to give it a proper try and maybe you'll develop a love for veg and fruit?

Hi I'm new to all this - My mum lost 5st on sw years ago and I remember green and red days, but I am just finding out abut Extra Easy and it almost seems to good to be true! However my friend has just lost 4 st and is looking amazing so I am going to change my ways and get stuckin to loose the 2st I've been carting around for the last few years!

It seems like there is plenty I can eat for lunch and dinner but am struggling with breakfasts- I don't have time/ inclination for a cooked brekkie- any ideas for brekkies that won't use both my healthy extras in one - I tend to have cereal and milk at the mo!

coffee/tea and a hi-fi/alpen light bar

fruit and ff yoghurt

ryvitas with quark/ham/veg

cottage cheese with fruit or veg(cucumber, peppers, radish, chives)

breakfast muffuns(bake day before)

sw rice pudding with fruit

OMG five and a half pound loss!!!
I had to ask her twice and she showed me the machine cause I didn't believe her!!! I had a blip on saturday but I was super good rest of week :j
feel really motivated to be good this week!!
I love this diet, it works its so easy to follow but I always loose weight and then I convince myself I'm a naturally slim person that can eat what she wants (the what she wants consisting of chips and cheese) and put it on again! well no more!! must stick at the plan

well done! :T

and well done to kandfs mum too! :T

I was also really motivated with my first loss And wanted more and more and more :rotfl:I have now two weeks to rock the scales again :cool: :rotfl:

Had some choc cravings today and used some syns but then reminded myself that I should be good if I want to keep loosing the lbs normal service resumed

If I don't want to use my HE's for breakfast then I tend to have a banana, berries and a muller light which I find quite filling. Toast, chocolate Philly and a sliced banana is good too and uses your HEB and 2 syns.

well done losers :T:T:T:A:A:A

Why is it whenever I have a sore throat it never effects my appetite? Its like swallowing razor blades at the moment :-(

I have weetabix with water, when thats soaked in I then add a splash of milk so makes it taste like its all milk [well in my mind it does]

Food today [must get back on track]
B - weetabix hot water/milk [.5a] coffee
L - mugshot/wm roll , toms, breadstick [1], p/white [2.5], fruit/yog
T - chicken , salad [lettuce,cue,tom,s/onion,pepper] 2x JP, spaggy hoops, cheese [1.5a], roasted onion, exl s/cream [1]
Syns - 4.5

Yes I know 3x HEbs but don't know syns for chicken and can have extra HEs as at target.

Really fancy some choc ice cream for my throat, good job we don't have any :rotfl:

Hope you feel better soon - shove a mullerlight in the freezer and it'll be solid ready for the morning and a syn free alternative to ice cream. I like the mint ones. xx

I have rang the PCT to chase up my SW vouchers as i have tried to stick to it while i am waiting and failed and i cant join before they arrive. I can see where the cheats crept in over the weekend so i clearly cant do it without the pressure of a weigh in. Today i have washed and polished the car, got the wii fit sorted and have the zumba which has short bursts which are easy to follow and you can do as many as you like and me having no coordination cant do a zumba class cos i spend all my time trying to watch the moves . I have made my self 2 new playlists on my ipod for walking. From tomorrow i will make time for a walk at some point in my day - everyday.

:Ton all you planning! EE isn't really compicated, I think for people who were 'brought up' on red and green it can be confusing but if you've only done EE it's just what it says on the tin.

On the one third superfree, the cheese and crackers would be syns or HEXs so the superfree bit doesn't come into it. For the pasta and sauce then you should have some superfree to balance it so a piece of fruit afterwards or just extra superfree at another mealtime. Superfree does tend to reduce portion sizes to an extent (cos there's a limit to how much anyone can eat) but it doesn't have to mean you have smaller portions just that the big portions include lots of superfrees!:D
