I have the same problem for the first 1-2 wks when i start slimming world again.
My fiancee has to prepare himself for my stomach.
Its all the extra fruit & veg but it settles down quickly enough

I have exactly the same problem still Joey-lou and Ive been following it since July!!! I never used to go very often and now its easily every couple of hours. its all good as far as im concerned. Liz3yy, I definately agree on the stomach thing, I can compete with the best blokes around now!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Special K Bliss bars - Mint chocolate, orange and chocolate and raspberry and chocolate are all 4.5 syns, strawberry and chocolate are 5.5 syns, both days.

I think listing our daily meal plan is a brilliant idea - it keeps us on track and reminds us to plan ahead and it is a help to those who are just starting out. So for tomorrow the plan is:
Brekkie: 2 weetabix (HB) 250 ml S/S Milk (HA)
Snacks: Plum, Banana, Apple, Black tea, Water
Lunch: Noodle Mug Shot (free), 2 Ryvita Sesame (HB), Muller Light (Free), Banana.
Dinner: SW Wedgies made with little pots cut in quarters roasted with spray oil (1 syn for fry light?), 2 poached eggs (free) and a big heap of beans (free)
Snack: Pack of Cheese Limbos 3 syns
Total syns 4 ish.

well it was my intention that I would be 100% good today but it all went a bit pear shaped not helped by going to a cafe with a friend where there was not a sniff of a jacket potato to be found on the menu which mainly consisted of pannins, sandwiches and toasted sandwiches. :mad: I also had a cappuccino when a nice cup of tea would have done and would have been free. I have no idea of the syn value of the cappuccino.

SO I will start again afresh tomorrow and here is my menu plan : -

thursday (mix to match day)
Breakfast
galia menu and raspberries. (f)

Lunch
Tin of heinz mean beanz italian
28g cheese (HEA)

Tea
Huge piece of steak with roasted celeriac, onion, peppers and mushrooms

Snacks
2 x alpen light choc fudge bars (HEB)
Mullerlight lemon and passionfruit / aldi optifit yogurt / more raspberries

Friday - green

Breakfast : Aldi optifit yogurt with raspberries. galia melon

Lunch: Jacket potato and SW Tuna pouch (HEB) 28g cheese (HEA)

Saturday

Breakfast
Galia melon, raspberries (if any left) or frozen mixed fruit and aldi optifit yogurt.

Lunch
Jacket potato, heinz beans mixed with various spices

Lunch jackets and beans.

Hello
Well finally plucked up the courage to join SW tonight but have to say I am confused!
Done WW before and am finding it totally different. Trying to read the book and digest all info so I get it right tomorrow!
Can I ask a couple of questions.
I intend to have a green day tomorrow so can I have 2 weatabix for breakfast (actually can I have weatabix on both red or green days?)
Gravy granuals have to be pointed but bovril is free? Are stock cubes free as well?
Tomorrow I am intending to have -
Weatabix x 2 and skimmed milk
Banana and muller light
Batchelors cheese and brocolli pasta and sauce with milk from allowance and salad
Fruit
Tomatos, eggs, mushrooms and gammon (HE 2)
Is this right? Thank you Sam

Yes, Weetabix are one of two Healthy Extra B's you can have on either day.
Stock cubes I think are 0.5syn each. Stock/gravy made with marmite/bovil are free.
Don't forget to weight your Gammon for dinner. Other than that all sounds good.
Be careful with mushrooms (use frylight to fry them - anything else has to be synned)
Don't forget to drink lots of water and measure your milk so you don't go over your HEA allowance.

2 Weetabix is a HEB so can be eaten on either plan. Your 2nd HEB would be the gammon (85gms) and the milk you use throughout the day constitutes your HEA (measured of course). Pasta n Sauce is free on Green as are the fruit and Muller Light so this looks like an excellent days food

Try to forget what you did at WW cos SW is very different (and better IMO)

Pizza base (22 syns):eek:
I dont know if you watch This Morning, but Antony Worrell Thompson made a pizza base using grated potato cooked like a rosti, he grated the pots and squeezed out most of the liquid and then put the pots in a frying pan (he used oil but we would use frylight) and pressed it down. he cooked it until crisp and turned it and did the same. he then put it in the oven to finish it off. when it was nice and crispy he covered it with tomato based sauce (we would use passata) and loads of different vegies topped it off with a sprinkling of cheese (HA choice) and put it back in the oven until heated thru. he was then able to cut it like a pizza and serve, im gonna do one this weekend as saturday is treat night for the kids and its usually pizza. so technically this would be free on a green day.
Ill let you all know how it goes unless someone tries it before me lol
