    hi all,

    just browsing minimins and seen someone mention that kerry low low mature cheese spread is a HEA, and for half a tub!

    am I going mad and have missed this in the books.. is it 75g reduced fat / light soft cheese?.. or is on the red or green days as I don't do them?

    Kerry low low any flavour is 60g for a Hea, or 2.5syns for 25grams.

    Your best bet would be to grab a copy of this weeks bella magazine which was released on the 5th Feb and use the voucher for free membership leaving you to pay just £4.95 for the class fee to get your books and all the info you need to get going - this is sooooo much cheaper than Ebay unless you have any mates that have tried it and given up? Voucher valid in group for 2 weeks.

    There isnt actually a group near me and hubby has the car for work :(. I tend to get better results weighing myself. Last time I went to a class i had a bad week,didnt go and never went back where as if i have a bad few days i just get back on track myself easier. I lost 4 stone over the last 2 years and have only put half a stone back on.

    I just had a root through my diet book drawer and I have the extra easy book from last year i bought from ebay. Didnt realise I had it. thanks for the info though. Might see where the classes are and if they coincide with hubbys day off and go join to get up to date books.

    Can I play? Have done the red/green days plan a few times and given up because I dont like a lot of meat in a day and the green didnt have much success for me. Fancy trying the extra easy now.looks more my type of thing.
    where would i get the books? i did buy a little book,think it was 100 days of extra easy but its just meal ideas. Need to do it 100% now,health reasons.
    welcome to the thread, whilst a lot of people do it alone and online i think going to the group is a lot better
    • you tend to be more honest with yourself if you go to group(ie what you have eaten and syns counting)
    • you get great support from other who are like you or similar and often good tips and ideas for meals
    • you also find out latest hea ans heb , any new products on the market that are free etc
    • you get your welcome pack that has everything you need
    • you get the phone number of someone you can call if you struggling etc
    i hope this and the offer in bella the previous poster mentioned will persuade you to attend a group session :)

    I love the kerry low low with cracked black pepper and use it instead of a smear of butter on sandwiches or within a jacekt potato.
    If you are not a fan of laughing cow or dairylea it probably isnt for you.

    For those who didnt know, the soft cheeses like dairylea and laughing cow are actually made from Brie that has been made in the factory and has failed the quality control because it doesnt meet the weight requirements etc - bit of useless info my b.i.l gave me as he works in a factory in Somerset that makes loads and sends me up regular deliveries of the stuff :D

    I don't suppose seriously strong cheese spread would be a HEA? I love that on toast :D
