Although yesterday didn't have enough SFs for EE I did manage to keep the syns down to 9 so not as bad as it could have been.

Have planned a Green day for today:

B - BLT (HEB1 - bread; HEB2 - bacon) brown sauce 1; butter 3.5
L - egg salad with balsamic dressing
D - Jacket potato with baked beans and cheese (HEA1)

HEA2 will be milk in tea throughout the day.

So far only 4.5 syns planned but may have a fruit split this evening.

Good Morning Lovely Human Beans,


I've said this before but I'll say it again. I just can't keep up with this thread!! If I miss a comment aimed at me, I'm truly sorry. If I don't reply in person to everyone's comments I feel so guilty. There are two things it would help me if you all bear in mind; Frogs read very slowly, and feel guilty about everything. So please don't take offence if I don't make personal; comments back about your posts, I'd be on here all day as I just can't keep up!


I haven't caught The Biggest Loser Crab apple. Is it an American version? I've watched a British one before when it was on ITV with Davina McCall and I really enjoyed it. I've caught the odd episode of various series on digi channels but, they are a little bit too, how can I put it, too American. Sorry!


I've been thinking about a name for the challenge. How about ~

Forget Fat, Find Fitness Forever in Fifteen!

I love a bit of alliteration


I won't officially enter the challenge. Past experience has told me I'm just setting myself up to fail. I'm not going to weigh myself either as I just can't face it. As soon as I start eating well, I fell SO MUCH BETTER in my head, and then the scales go and spoil it all by reminding me I'm still very chubby. However I will be trying hard along with you, and will weigh in on the last day of week 8 where I will have thrashed the pants off of you and run off with the prize!


Hoppy Monday friends xx

This thread has grown since I popped in yesterday - I will catch up with you all later.


I have planned to try an SP day today - I hope I have it right.


breakfast - porridge (HEB) and a Satsuma
lunch - Ham and egg salad with crispbread (HEB) apple
dinner - casserole with beef, onions, celery, spring greens, carrots and oxo gravy
HEA will be milk in tea.


I don't know about syns yet - a biscuit or two when I have coffee with a friend later perhaps.

Hi there- can I join too please?
I did SW last year and lost 1st4llb but it has piled on again (plus a little bit more!). I now weigh in at 14st 4 and 3/4lbs which at 5ft 2" aint good! I feel sluggish physically but more importantly mentally so need to give myself a kick up the proverbial and get back on the wagon! I cant afford the classes (reason I gave up last year) so a support group on line would be helpful. I'm 50 at the end of February and would like to be a stone (at least) lighter by then.


Breakfast 30gr oats in muller light
lunch ham and rice salad with fruit
dinner chicken breast with jacket potato and salad with a veg soup.
saving my syns for a packet of crisps tonight and maybe a kit kat with coffee this pm. HE will be 30gr cheese as I don't take milk in drinks etc.


Fingers crossed I can stick with it cus I am beginning to feel a little desperate !

Well I've completed my first week ever and I'm very pleased to say I've lost 2lbs!
Not a lot but as I am within my BMI range (albeit the top end:D) it works out as 1.5% of my body weight, so I'm more than happy with that. Unlike a lot of you, I'm following the plan mainly to regulate how/what/where I eat as I've developed a very unhealthy approach to eating[STRIKE] recently[/STRIKE] for a long time now - 3 bags of crisps and 2 chocolate bars has made a worryingly frequent dinner:eek:
Finding the EE plan very easy to follow and have definately benefited from knowing what I am allowed to eat[STRIKE] even though I cheated a bitat the weekend[/STRIKE]

Today I will have
B. Banana and yogurt
L. leftover chilli. 1 slice bread HEB
D. pasta, veg and tomato sauce

Don't know about syns yet as have a busy day and might not have too much time to eat them. Have got some maltesers left from Christmas though and you get a lot for your allowance, so maybe those

I am I right in thinking the new challenge starts today, if so please put me down for trying to maintain please Shala. I WI tomorrow and am expecting a, hopefully small . gain.

Hiya :wave:

A few [STRIKE]friends[/STRIKE] people who know I need to lose weight have been telling me about the 5:2 diet in the Daily Fail and I did try it last year - well, my version of it anyway. I can't abide counting calories so DH and I set aside 1 day a week which was carb and alcohol free, figuring that would reduce our calorie intake quite a lot providing the food we ate was still reasonably healthy. We intended to increase it to 2 days a week, but never quite managed it!

I've been thinking that doing EESP for 2 days each week could have a similar effect and would avoid the boredom factor.

Like Jocko I'm not sure how much difference it would make to me over a longer period as I tend to have the equivalent of a HEB of potato, pasta or rice anyway and don't tend to eat between meals so not being able to have Muller light and leftover free foods wouldn't affect me.

Welcome to the thread. Just a couple of comments:

Oats as HEB are now 35g rather than 30g so making it a bit more filling.

Cheese as HEA you can have either 30g of full fat cheddar but if you have the low fat cheddar you can have 40g - I usually use a very fine grater and it makes it look even more than that!

Hope you find these comments helpful.
