Morning all.
Well iv done my bit of excerise for today walked into town and back again, have started using ds weights to tone my upper arms abit too.
Had a good day yesterday and created a new favorite.
Get a frozen quorn filet spread with quark and sprinkle some garlic salt and mixed herbs onto quark then wrap 1 strip of lean bacon around and cook as you would normally in the oven for about 30 mins. It was yummy, had it with tinned new pots, sweetcorn and some pasta n sauce, i used the bacon as a HOB and everything else was free, it was very filling.

Planning to do something simalar at my mother in laws bbq in a few weeks, chicken drumsticks with skin removed garlic quark and wrap with bacon, free on a red day!!

Well done everyone lets keep going!!

hi everyone

I hope u can help, I went to class and lost 2.5 lbs today - so thats 6.5 in 2 weeks (i hope it continues!)
Anyway last week the consultant mentioned the banana/choc mousse thats in the dessert book. I never thought much of it, but this week everyone was raving about it - but the consultant had no books left and no-one could remember the exact ingredients??

If anybody has it could you tell me it please. I recall there was some egg whites and fromage frais and vanillas essence but nothing else?

The consultant said she might have some for next week. Would i be able to attend another meeting somewhere else this week to see if a different consultant had it? Or is this not allowed? Not sure of all the rules.


Am waiting patiently (she says drumming her fingers!!)


Thanks in advance

There's no reason at all you can't go to a different class, in fact, it's encouraged so that if you were away from your home area for any reason, you will still be able to attend a group somewhere else.

You can go on the website, type in your postcode and find the nearest few groups to where you want to go. Don't forget to take your food optimising book and get them to write the weight in so that your own Consultant can see you haven't missed a week.

Alternatively, if you find you can't get a book locally, you can always send for it direct from SW.

Can anyone tell me what is sucess express? read about it on p169. Have I missed something?

Success Express is a plan which works in a different way to the Red and Green ones. The SW guidelines are reproduced here:-

SUCCESS EXPRESS

Step 1:
Have Three Success Express Meals a Day. At each meal follow the two to one principle.
Fill two thirds of your plate with Superfreefoods then one third of the plate with foods that are Free on Green or Original.

Step 2:
Add one or two Healthy Extra ‘A’ Choices and two ‘B’ choices from either the Green or Original lists.

Step 3:
Snack on Superfree Foods such as fresh or frozen fruit, vegetables, eggs or very low fat dairy products. You can add Healthy Extras to Snacks.

Step 4:
Choose your Syns; enjoy five to 15 Syns per day. You can enjoy your Syns as part of a meal or for treats.
Snacks, desserts or starters that are not Superfree or Healthy Extras are counted as Syns.

SERVING SENSE

To get the maximum benefits from Success Express. It is best to follow the easy guidelines that put a little structure and control into your serving sizes.
If you find yourself building “towers” of food that’s mainly free on Green or Original, it might be better to go for that choice rather than busting the “true” Two to one Principle.
On a Success ExpressDay,
Everything you eat that isn’t a Free Food (following the two to one principle), a Superfree Food or a Healthy Extra has Syns. If a Syn has a higher Syn value on one choice than the other then you must take the higher value.

Yippee!! Another 2lb dissappears......:j :j

Actually it is my biggest loss so far. I am feeling it is all going v e r y slowly, but heck, at least it is going! and I'm not feeling deprived of anything.

Planning is why I was sucessful this week - we went to an agricultural show at the weekend, and would normally have a large burger and chips from a van, and an ice cream with a danish pastry (they are huge!!!) at the end.... instead, I made a picnic full of yummy treaty things, we sat on the grass, *really* enjoyed it, and because we had been so good, we allowed ourselves an ice cream later!! hurrah!:T :T

..by george I think she's got it.....:D

Thanks Tractor girl. Think I'm going to try the diet tonic water, not a fan of I'm honest but its got to be worth a whirl!
