The yogurt bit confuses me, I had syn free yogurt (only 1 a day) but I thought it wasn't allowed and anything other than total EESP changed it to EE day. Not getting it

If you're doing EESP for a week or just the odd day here and there it's strict EESP. Due to the fact that most people will therefore be cutting out there usual free yogurts it reduces your calcium intake, which long term isn't a good idea. So they state on the website that to compensate for this, if you are going to continue with EESP full time after the first week, then you need to add in either a second HEA or a syn free yogurt each day.

Is Ready Brek a HEB now Takeiteazy? If it is, I'll stock up next time I'm at the supermarket - for some reason I like it more than ordinary porridge.

There have been some great losses on here over the last couple of days - well done everyone!

My day is looking like this:

Breakfast - Banana
Lunch - Roast pork, potato & celeriac mash, cauli & broccoli cheese (5 syns), carrots, garlicky cabbage, gravy (1.5 syns).
Tea - Ham, cheese (HEA) and salad sandwich on wholemeal bread (HEB), mullerlight, melon
Snacks - Clementines, Reese's peanut butter cup (4.5 syns)

Having worked in offices and out on the road too, I know lots of work situations Are full of temptation, so what strategies do you all use to stay on track?

I'll be interested in people strategies as this is clearly my downfall!

Well done Whiplashy that was a great loss!

Don't be disheartened TakeItEazy I bet if you still another week to plan you will have an amazing loss! Its my first weigh in on Tuesday night and I bet I only have a small, or no loss, because I feel christmas and new year if still creeping up on me. But will hope for a better loss after that is all out my system!

No idea what I will eat today. But it won't be much. Stopped throwing up around 4am and feeling very weak. Sending DH to the shops for some rich tea fingers. I need something to eat, but thats the only thing I think I will manage. That or a ginger biscuit.

If you do the EESP plan for more than a week they recommend you add more calcium as there isn't sufficient for a well balanced diet.

So first week = no yogurt.. Second week = have yogurt - not at a all confusing huh??

E.t.a. Took so long to post that someone else did too

Brilliant loss whiplashy!! :T:T

Well yesterday was a rubbish day for me, we had shop issues so didn't get the food in that I needed to stay on plan.. So I improvised, badly

It's so easy to get thrown off plan isn't it.. I'm annoyed yes, but I'm back on it today because I don't want to give up! In all honesty I probably went to 30 syns so not as bad as you think in your head! just totted it up properly and I had 29 syns, not too bad considering I felt completely off plan

So today EESP for me..

Brunch - poached eggs, toast(heb), strawberries, nectarine, quark
Tea - pork (6), bread (heb) hm coleslaw, salad, pickles, Apple sauce (2)
Hea - milk in tea
Snacks - crisps (4.5)

Hopefully I'll stick to it today!!!

Okay, not feeling totally inspired but here's the plan (not sure if I will need to buy in eggs tomorrow). EESP at the moment is definitely a 'once in while' things for me as I'm struggling with the inspiration


B: 4 ryvita (HEB1) with ham and apple
L: 2 wholemeal toast (HEB2) with poached eggs, Satsuma
Pork hock slow cooked in diet coke, roasted carrots and steam veg
HEA - milk in tea


Syns - not sure?

I've found that cutting carrots in big chunks (size of new potatoes) is far more satisfying than either slices or julienne. I think it's psychological, it gives you something to cut into with your knife and fork like you might do with potatoes.

-8lb for the challenge Shala:j

That's amazing. Congratulations!!


Obviously, technically adding the yogurt stops it being 100% EESP but it's still far more of a booster programme than adding the third of carbs back in. For anyone concerned about calcium intake then sea bass, pilchards and sardines are a good alternative.

Good morning, I have been on the scale and lost 1lb.:j

Delighted for you wiz and all other losers today.:T


tie, are you much out of target range? I lost a pound this week although I'd been 'good' for a week. It was the first WI since 18th December so I probably lost the Christmas gain at the same time IYSWIM.


I'll probably have a high syn day today, like I always do at weekends. Had HEX breakfast (porage and milk), not sure for lunch but will be SW then off to the pub to watch my team and we've decided to eat there, maybe a pub roast or a steak. Oh and compulsory wine syns, let's hope I'm celebrating.;)

So just to double check *sorry having a thick day today * tomorrow will be my first weigh in (though im doing it at home) and apart from y'days dinner (which meant y'day turned into an EE day) ive been completely EESP..... can i do another week of EESP as i have been, or do i have to start adding another HEA from tomorrow if i want to continue it?

Todays menu:

B- boiled egg in a cup :drool: , melon
L - undecided ... have to take a top back so possibly late salad
D - steamed seabass, SP veg (have to go buy more from the shop)
HEA- 350 skim milk
HEB's - alpen light bars
Snacks - melon, clementines
Syns - butter in steam parcel (2), & a naughty chocky treat later (ill say 6 for now)
