Frogga - you had me LOL there! It's a good tonic at this time of the morning on WI day!

I'm expecting a gain this week after a very flexible long weekend which carried on until end of Monday when we went to an all you can eat Chinese and they didn't even have boiled rice so had to have egg fried!

Today is going to be another EE day:

B - banana - after WI
L - seafood & smoked salmon salad sandwich (HEB)
D - chicken jambalaya - a great one pot meal which I can cook in my thermal cookpot when I get home after WI and shopping and it'll be ready whatever time DH wants to eat

HEA will be milk in tea throughout the day as usual.

No idea what syns will be today but will probably have a fruit split this evening.

maman~Hope you had a lovely lunch.

I have been lucky enough to go to Tom Kitchin's award winning The Kitchin on several occasions & it has been fab.

Think will cry if no loss.
Still feel bloated though :eek:

Hello , could i join you lovely ladies please. took the plunge and joined local sw group last Thursday (1/5) . seemed a rush to get signed up and got the welcome pack given to me but some ( a lot of it!) not made much sense to me.

extra easy was mentioned to me but do i do this instead of green ? and also some of the symbols in book mean nothing to me eg s or a ss ??

was a party weekend this weekend (3 birthdays) so didnt really get to start until Tuesday :-( i know.. not good..

weighed in at 12stone 7 pounds last week.. heaviest ever :-(

hoping i might lose a 1 Ib this week..

glad ive found this thread to give me motivation.

welcome ttc39.

Have a good read through your books and things will become clearer.

The different symbols mean

S - speed food - this will speed up your weight loss
SS - is super speed - as above but faster
F - good amount of fibre
FF - even more fibre
H - healthy and full of stuff we need.
HH - super healthy
C - high in calcium
CC - even higher in calcium

ahhh ok , thanks Tazzyb. i do need to sit and read through properly.. i managed to scan quick and do a tesco shop last week getting a few of what they said were the store cupboard basics.. i have my 2nd meeting toniight but i am going to make a real effort to meal plan for the week ahead tonight..

have had a sw caramel and choc light bar (3 syns) today for brekkie and will have bacon omlette at lunch and tonight im planning on fry light eggs x2 and sw chips.

my meeting isnt until 7.30 but last week went on to after 9pm !

i wont be too disappointed if i havent lost any as ive not really given it a fair chance this first week.. i knew it was gonna be a bad one but i didnt want to Not join last week. otherwise i may have left it another month LOL

You will find this explained on page 96 of the food optimising book.
the orange one in your pack. Takes a while to understand it but does give ideas.

Hello and welcome.:)


Every day the plan advises Healthy Extras. HEA tends to be from dairy (cheese or milk) and HEB from fibre (bread, cereal etc). As you've joined you should have a number to let you access the website and there are comprehensive lists on there.


Most consultants now just describe the Extra Easy plan but the Original (Red) and Green are still in the book and still going strong. Green is particularly suitable for vegetarians or people who don't eat much meat. The big advantage of Green and Red over EE is that you can have 2 HEAs and 2 HEBs a day (EE it's just one of each). So 2 HEBs could be two slices of bread for a sandwich lunch. You can change plans but you have to do a complete day of one plan.


One initial that tizzy didn't list is SF (Superfree) which is most vegetables and fruit. You must have one third of SFs in your meals on Extra Easy and I think it's a good idea on the other plans too although not essential.


So, if I was looking at your menu for today:
B: sw caramel and choc light bar
L: bacon omelette
fry light eggs x2 and sw chips.


As you've had no SF veg or fruit it's better to call today a Green day. So you're allowed 2 HEAs (HiFi bar is one, bacon is the other). You're allowed 55g of cooked lean bacon. I think you might be able to have two HiFis but I'm not certain.


You've not listed any HEAs at all. Maybe you have milk in coffee or tea? Or add some cheese to your omelette?


Overall I don't think you've got much food listed at all so you'd probably lose anyway to start with by eating less but that's not what SW is all about.;)


I went to WI this morning and gained 1.5lbs. I'm relatively pleased with that and it's motivated me to get it off ASAP.


My EE plan:
B: NAS Ribena, HEB Shreddies and HEA milk
L: cold beef, beetroot, LO veg fried
SW Burger, SW chips/wedges, tomato, mushrooms, fried onions and maybe mange tout

I thought it was one third superfree Maman?
