Thread: Ok I'm Back here we go.......

OK so I have had a bad few months.

I have put on - and so I should!

its so difficult especially when the biscuits come out!!

Been doing this on my own well online, but not convinced I am doing it right so here goes:

Extra Easy

HEXA - Skimmed Milk
HEXB - 2 Weetabix

Free: Salad, Apple, Banana, Chicken (I cooked a breast at home, no oil)
Mugshot Spicy one.

So meals today

Bkft: Weetabix, Banana, Milk, and some ML Yogurt

Mid Morn: Apple and Mugshot

Lunch: Chicken Salad 2/3 plate salad

Afternoon: ML yogurt few grapes.

Dinner: Chicken Salad with Small Jkt spud (hand/fist shaped size(I know again) 1/3 plate salad

Syn: Balamisc Dressing think this is 11/2 per tbsp.
Tesco Cheese Curls 41/2
Alpen Cereal Bar - 3

Will try and not have any biscuits.

Hopefully I am doing this right if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to comment.

My friend and family are doing this too and when I saw her she said she was doing EE as well, but if she was having meat she would way the pasta / rice or wahtever it said in the book or if she was having Pasta, rice etc she would weigh the meat - this sounded to me like Gree or Original to me but she said no it was EE - when reading the books I thoight it might be Success Express and not EE - so I would be grateful if someone can clarify it for me.

I am right in thinking also that the Food Optisimng book is the EE plan...

Going to go now as I am well confused...

hi, im new to this as well, started yesterday so thought we could keep each other motivated! Did you find out about needing to weigh the pasta or meat? i thought you could have unlimited of either on EE?

Hi Kymmy

No not found out the answer yet.

But like you I thought that if you were doing an Original Day you had a qty of Carbs as per the book for HEXB and vice a Versa for a green day.
Success Express is different think on this one you have 2/3 of free stuff
But thought extra easy was you had how much you wanted of either protein/carbs but you must fill your plate up with 1/3 of Super free / free foods first so that then limits how much of the other stuff you can put on there, so you would then limit your calorie intake...

But yes to have a mini pal to keep me motivated and I too will keep my beady eye on what your eating and movtivate you where ever I can...

ok well thank you, happy to have a beady eye!! well today so far ive had fruit and a soya yoghurt for breakfast and i have no idea what to have for lunch. its a bit of a pain because i get a free lunch at work, a school dinner!! its not easy to find something that will fit in with slimming world. so after the half term i may need to bring my own.

I know lunches are a pain. Could you not ask the cooks if they could do you veg without butter etc or jkt spud and salad.

I am probably like you I like to know whats gone into my food so I know that it is completely free - I'm always rushing I do Hubbys sandwich the night before then have to do mine in the morning.

Today its Jkt Spud with Tuna and sweetcorn with Salad - fruit and yogurt for pud.

Cant wait hungry now...


Kats

ah yes good idea, i will call them and see if they will do me one. I do find lunch is the hardest. someone recommended that you make extra dinner and take the left overs to work. think i might try that. hungry now too.

ok Yesterday I had a cream cake thingy that hubby bought as part of the Valentines dinner and I also had 3 glasses of wine - oo poo!

So onto today:

Bkft 2 Weetabix (HEXB) blueberries and skimmed milk (HEXA) had 115ml

Mid morn and now it goes downhill, cream scone someones birthday and 3 choccie biscuits.....

Lunch: Chicken Salad, Fruit and yogurt

Alpen bar - maybe

Dinner SWR Chicken Korma curry and Pilau rice (Recipe in this months mag).

Hubby wants Pancakes - I might have to have really strong will power and so no! NO! louder NOOOOOOO.

Got to start looking at what I'm eating as the weight will never come off otherwise....

Hi, your doing good

I'm new to SW too, I started the group last Saturday. My first weigh in today and lost 6lbs (expected as its the first week)

ive just started doing my food diary on here too.

you have EE plan right, you can have as much free foods as you want, but make sure your set meals have 1/3 of your plate which is super free.

I sort of already know how SW works, and the other plans too, I tried doing it at home but needed that extra kick up the butt to get going!

Thanks Vicky,

I used to be a red and green girl (I still have then some days). I could get my head round eating protien and carbs together as much as I wanted as long as I have 1/3 free foods on my plate. Its usually salad or veg. I went to a club but tbh I couldnt put up with the "you have lost 2lbs this week clap clap" when they are 40+ people in the group and I hadnt been weigh cos I went to an exercise class straight from work I wanted to get home shower and have some tea... so decided to join online. I weigh myself at work we have calibrated scales so I know that they are correct.

I lost 1 lb last week - thought it might be more but with me I seem to only lose a little but at least its coming off..

Good luck!
