Ooh new thread!

So if I have this right I could/can now have say cereal for breakfast and a sandwich at lunch but then no potatoes/pasta with my evening meal? probably being thick as a plank but whats the deal with that now? The limited cereal and bread I managed fine with once I got in to it but I often have potatoes/rice/pasta with my evening meal...

Plan is to loosely follow plan until Friday as we have a few New Year engagements this week with friends/family and then hopefully hit the ground running; maybe trying the new plan if I can get to grips with it!

Yup that's pretty much it, however, it does advise picking healthy extras that are classed as speed foods where you can(there isn't many!)

You can still do normal Extra Easy and have your potatoes, rice and pasta...

I can't say i'll do the new plan very often as I like my carbs..

Would love a recommendation too, I put this one on my Xmas Wish list but Santa didn't bring it..

the no spuds etc is only if you are doing extra easy SP (as they aren't a speed food now).. and you get an extra hex b

otherwise extra easy its pretty much the same as it was just different symbols used and certain foods that were super free are now just free.. bananas, grapes, mango, potatoes, parsnips to name a few off the top of my head

Just posted on the old thread and then noticed the link to this one... I weighed in tonight and have gained the 2.5 that I lost last week back again, but I think that's a great result considering how I've stuffed myself off plan all week!


Am going to stay on plan this week and gradually increase exercise. I'm also doing a plan for each day, even if I change my mind. Making broccoli and cauliflower soup tomorrow, with a small can of evaporated milk instead of cream.

Ooh this thread has come at just the right time for me. Despite it being New Year on weds/Thursday I decided that today would be my first day trying Slimming World.
Can only do the plan from home I think as I'm within healthy BMI range, so I've been trying to work out the rules from threads like these. Mostly I want to use the plan to get my awful eating habits under control ( far too many missed meals replaced by crappy chocolate or crisps) but ideally about another half stone loss would be great too

Today I've had
B. Overnight oats with yogurt and frozen berries
L. Bulgar wheat salad and yet more leftover turkey.
Hot banana, yogurt and cinnamon. Mayo - 1 syn
D. Chicken/veg stir fry and noodles
Grapes
Snack. Mini bag twiglets and small glass wine 11 syns

Is anything glaringly wrong there, oh wise ones?

Welcome to the thread

I will have to try this for a week. I have always struggled to lose with EE and have hit a plateau - my GP tells me this often happens on a weight loss journey and you have to make the effort to do something different to get over that hurdle. She suggests to either change your exercise or diet to kick start you off again.

Lovely to have a new thread.
I've got a weigh in on NYEve and am expecting a wee gain but hey ho even skinny folk gain at Christmas.
Can't wait to get back on plan as I'm feeling stuffed and bloated - probably more from a lack of exercise than anything else because we have icy rutted snow everywhere and it's quite difficult to walk on it. I'll give the new plan a go because I would love an extra B choice some days. Got my class on Wednesday morning and I'll let you know the damage and my target for the new challenge then.
If I don't get back on before, happy new year everyone!!
