Welcome in Sarah, Flat Eric and am_bain, and well done to starjumper!

Morning all! And a very heartfelt thankyou to all of you for your kind words and support. I am sure my consultant didn't mean to be hurtful and I was probably a bit paranoid, any other week I might have just brushed it off but it just shows you how sensitive we can all be when our head isn't in the right place.

Anyway a new day has dawned so drawing a line. Finding it really hard to keep up with this thread, wow it is great though to see so many new people on it and the support is incredible. I admit I came over all unnecessary at some of your lovely messages. Been up since 6 as DS had been in with me, he has a bit of a cold and the snot was making him gag and be sick (sorry if tmi) so when I got up to the loo he decided it was morning. But I think all the crud I have been eating in the last week has caught up with me as I have my IBS in full force today and I am sitting here with terrible cramps. I am so much better when I eat loads of fruit and veg although I know many say the opposite. Mr T is coming tonight with my groceries so I will have 0% again, lovely. SO I will just have to find what I can today LOL. I always have tatties and beans in so I think a green day is in order with as many veggies as I can find, the only fruit is some grapes that are fast turning into raisins.

Morning everyone
Congratulations Workforshoes on your weight loss to date and as I have only just found this thread, congratulations to everyone else - it would take me far too long to read through the whole thread and I would probably get the sack... :rotfl:

I get weighed tomorrow and I am dreading it as I have had a cold this week and have just wanted to eat eat eat so a couple of days the plan has gone completely out of the window but we are human after all. I have been doing the plan since August and am kind of bored with it now but still have about 1 stone to go.

Anyway, I am waffling!
Im having a mix to match day today and I just wondered how other members find the mix to match. I just cant get my head round the success express so have not tried this but am finding the mix to match ok (and I think I am doing it right)!

Anyway - here is my menu for today

Breakfast: Hi fi bar (choc orange) HEB

GREEN
Lunch Heinz Mean Beanz - Mexican - free on green
28g cheese (HEA)

RED TEA
Gammon Steaks - free on Red (well I think they are free!) weighed jacket (HEB)

Snacks : Shape Lasting Satisfaction Yogurts (Free on both)

Syns : Choc Buttons treatsize (4 syns)
Thai sweet chilli sauce 1.5 syns per tablespoon
Birds Eye Steam Fresh veg - Carrot, Brocolli and Sweetcorn (1 syn for the sweetcorn! as having with a red tea.

So does it sound like I am doing it ok???

Flat Eric I don't have much experience of M2M to be honest but I can't see anything obviously wrong. I only did it once when going to a wedding. Will a Hifi keep you full all morning though?

whats m2m? and i couldn't survive on a hifi bar all morning, had 1oz puffed rice, milk and banana on top, lol!!!!!

I'm sorry I cant help you on M2M as I cannot get my head around it either!!

I understand the meals but not the division of the HEA and B's

You dont have to stick to a red or green day...you can mix them but im not sure how you divide the A' and B's...someone else may be able to explain it x

I think on M2M your HEA/HEB have to be HEA/HEB on both days if that makes sense? It always confused me so to be safe I stuck with the standard red and greens.

Thought I'd pop in and say hi, but really not in the mood today - WI tonight and I've put on even though I've been good. Makes me feel like I'll never reach my target - or even halfway down to it at this rate!

M2M is MIX 2 MAX and here's how it works:-

Each meal time decide if you fancy Green or Original
Stick to that choice for that meal – you can go back for 2nds if you’re still hungry during the same mealtime
Choose again when it's time for your next meal
Snack on Superfree Foods all day - those nutritious, filling foods that are Free on both choices
You can still choose 4 Healthy Extras
Still take your daily Syns allowance - if Original & Green Syn values are different, count the highest
If you have a starter or a dessert, make it Superfree Food or count the Syns.

Example breakfast having chosen an Original meal:-

Lean bacon, scrambled eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms – all Free Food on Original
2 Bowyer’s sausages – if you’re having an original meal count the lower Syn value (1 Syn each)
2 slices of toast from a 400g loaf – a Healthy Extra ‘b’ choice

"On a Mix2Max day, everything you eat, apart from your main courses*(see below) that isn't a Superfree food or a Healthy Extra has syns. If the food you choose (between meals) has a higher Syn value on one choice than the other you should count the higher Syn value.
*If your main course contains any syns, count the syn value appropriate to the Green or Original choice you've been following for that meal."
