Thread: Help needed for 1st day......

Hi folks.....
i'm new on here but i'm looking for some help if anyone can....
i'm going to join a local slimming class next monday (7th jan) but it doesnt start until 7.30pm. i've gathered a lot of information from this site but know that i won't get my head around it all "properly" until i've been and i have all the books etc.
anyway....what i'd like to do, is start on monday myself (by doing a green day) so that tuesday is my 2nd day rather than my 1st and what i'm looking to find out is if you are able to mix days (ie green/red/EE) cos i'm thinking that once i have a look through all the stuff,i might end up doing extra easy?
will i be ok to do green on the monday then change if i wanted to...or do you have to stick to a certain type of day to see results?

am i right in thinking that if i do green, i get 2 healthy A's and B's and that its only 1 of each on EE?
thanks in advance for any replies....i'm sure this wont be the last of my questions lol xxx

That would be fine hun,you can do a different plan each and every day if you really want to
Good luck!

I know you haven't started yet, but everyones different so just do what feels right, mixing is fine, if i'm honest its the only way i lose, i have to have a mix of days otherwise i don't seem to get anywhere. So yes, mixing days is fine, sometimes its nice to have a day where you can have 2 HE's too

Welcome!

I am fairly new to all of this too. I only do Green days because being vegetarian that suits me better than the other plans. My class leader said the other night though that it is fine to chop and change as long as you do full days of each (someone in my class thought it would be okay to switch halfway through the day because she fancied some red meat!!)

Good luck!

thanks folks...
just wanted to check in case, by doing that, it didn't get me off to a great start!
so if i try to do green on monday before i go to my 1st class, i can have 2 weetabix and milk for 1 of the healthy a's and b's then maybe wholemeal bread and cheese for the 2nd lot - is that right?
i was doing WW until 4 weeks ago so i need to make sure i ditch all of the "points" thoughts when starting this and embrace the foods i can and the amounts cos somehow...even though i can't figure out how lol, this seems to be working for others!
thanks again for the replies x

That would be fine. I mix between extra easy and green days. Good luck with it.

i would post your green monday plan on here as in breakfast/lunch/dinner and snacks and just get itchecked by more experienced members to make sure it's ok

yeah i think i might. sunday is shopping day and monday i'm gonna cook
struggling a bit with this site....i thought i'd get notifications when people reply to a post? i'm having to hunt for the thread or something i've commented on and scroll thru to see if there have been any replies...am i missing something? x

well...this is day 8 for me on SW and my 1st weigh in is tonight. i'm going to get weighed at a different class (2hrs earlier) as my son has football so i'm going to nick along to another place and get weighed while he's there then it means i can come home, get dinner and organised rather than having to run around and not get back in (or have dinner) until late.
slightly wary with it being a different time and place (i'm one of these people who want the same scales, same place, same outfit etc so that there's no way it could be different lol...sad but so very true)

soooo hoping it goes as well as i'd like it to - i have literally stuck to the plan 100% and spent a lot of time and effort trying to "get it right"
fingers crossed.... x

good luck for your first weigh in xx

Good luck I'm sure I'm sending it on behalf of most members of this forum stick on here for inspiration and help we're all willing to help and remember the recipes thread PETE'S are brilliant for inspiration !!

thanks folks....i'll report back with my (delightful...hopefully lol) news
spent a lot of time on here, trawling thru and following other people's stories - it's great for lots of ideas, tips and motivation x

well folks...i lost 4 lbs x

Oh well done honey thats an amazing loss! you must be soooooo happy?! Ive got my first weigh in tomorrow and am sooooo scared! I too am only doing green days, and am so scared that this many carbs cant possibly result in a loss! A little voice inside my head says 'easy on the pasta and rice becs!' Do you feel like that too? xxx
A big congrats on the weight loss again honey, youre on your waaaaaaaaaaay
