Sorry this is too late for today, but for future reference here is how Mix2Max is explained (by the book). Hope it helps

Mix2Max

STEP 1:

Choose a Green or Original Meal and stick to your choice while enjoying that meal.
Have up to three meals a day.

Step 2:

Focus on Free Food. Enjoy as much Free Food as you like, either Green or Original from the choice that you have made for that meal.

Step 3:

Choose three or four Healthy Extras each day from either the Green or Original choices to have with meals or as snacks.

Step 4:

For other snacks throughout the day, or for starters or desserts, choose Superfree Foods or count them as syns.

Step 5:

Enjoy Five to 15 Syns per day
If your main course contains any syns then count the syn values appropriate to the Green or Original Choice you are following for that meal.

Note:

On a Mix2Max day everything that you eat apart from your main courses, that is not a Super-free food or a Healthy Extra has syns and you must take the highest syn value whether it is green or original.

That's great consultant, thank you so much. I think the last paragraph has put me off trying it!!!!

Did you have the raspberry crusha IN the babycham

(I cannot decide if this would be vile or fantastic - I am currently erring on the side of vile, but will happily stand corrected)

Raspberry liqueur in champagne is lovely, so why not??? :rotfl:

Going to make the veggie jambalaya off the website later. It says to use 198g of sweetcorn, but I don't like sweetcorn - can I substitute with 198g of frozen peas (I'm on a green day)

Morning everyone.
Keep you chin up everyone who is having a bad week.
Another red day today, my 3 red this week.
I feel alot better this week on the red and feel like iv loss weight, but i have stopped getting on the scales, so havent weighed myself since WI last monday, as i found it was really disheartning if i couldnt see a weight loss on my scales and at WI i have lost every week so my scales are not that accurate.
My consultant told us this week that our local boots scales are half a stone out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So please try not to weigh yourselfs, and just wait until WI.

Have a good day everyone

hi hun, i was goingto class and my consultant was crap to say the least , i got weighed and the next day while in town weighed myself at boots ,to see the differece and they were the same , try it yourself .
Your consultant isn't going to say anything differet , remember she wants you to keep using her to be weighed ,not going else were .
Ive been going for weeks now and i know i havn't put on half a stone , ive lost that and i'm now at target ,i'm 1lb down .
I love the boots scales because it a full weight reading ,bmi , height , just give it a try and see hun ,sorry if it sounds if i'm moaning , but some consultants make me mad:mad: , my last one before i moved was wonderful miss her

don't see why not charlies mum - you are swapping one free food for another.

do you all go to classes? I can't and a couple of years ago signed up to their on line course and found it useless to say the least! I'm thinking of starting my own class - just for me - starting on Monday. I thought part of my class will be to start at the first post on this thread and work my way through. At the moment I just dip in and out. You do seem a great bunch and help each other.

Hi guys

Tonight I'm making pizza with my bread HEs and cheese HE. I'm on a red day and fancy putting spicy beef on it, like you get on ready-made pizzas. Anyone got any ideas on how to make spicy beef? It's not quite mince... not quite meatballs. I don't think I know how to do that!

OI YOU! What you doin on here? I thought I was the only comper on this thread.
Seriously though, they're all very supportive on here ( A bit like the comping thread..............maybe not as crazy:D) and very helpful with any recipes/questions etc.
See you around

TractorGirl327 - that's what puts lots of people off, lol, BUT it really works as a booster if you're weight loss ever gets stuck.

Peachy - it's quite likely dlb's Consultant was telling the truth. SW scales are insured for £300+ so the chances are that they're as accurate as it's possible to be, whereas, when you consider how many people leap on and off the Boots scales and how often they are re-calibrated it would be a wonder if they were all that accurate.

In any case, though we do get paid on the number of members in group, most if not all of us have a genuine love of the job and a keen interest in what's best for the member - honestly!

I was more nervous joining in here than joining the comping board. Nice there's another comper here. Found all my books ready and am beginning to look forward to starting the eating plan.
