Thnx so much for advices! Im gonna stick with EE for another week in the hopes it'll sort iteself; if not, ill switch... Its great to have the info ready just in case tho :-)

Ive been doing EE online membership (with no cheats) for a fortnight - lost 2.5lb first week but gained 4.5lb this week so overall gain of 2lb. I was worried this may happen as I am disabled with severe mobility issues and have spent much of last fortnight laid up. Any eating plan ends up with...

Yay!! Jobs a good 'un. Off to order online :-)

No that was incredibly clear - thank you! And blatantly obvious once u think outside the box. Spot the Fud here lol... doh! Thank you so much... :-)

Saying that, like u say - that wud be for whole batch so proportionately it neednt be too much syns. But then also saying that; if i was just doing for me then wud i use proportionately less oil or is it one size fits all kind of thing? Showing my ignorance here lol :-/

Oooh thank u - just what i wanted to hear! Yaaay! Ps. Would u believe i actually googled Evoo to see what it what DOH! Pps. On second thoughts; On that subject, 5 or 6 syns regularly for the oil seems a lot - not sure if i can justify that for most day usage; especially if no syns if...

I been wanting one of these for ages - anyone know if theyre as good as they say and if good for SW meals. I eat a fair amount of roasted veg, sweet potatoes etc so was thinking could 'fry' them instead aswell as guving SW chips etc a try! If so, can u use frylite in them instead of oil Thnx...

Hi im doing SW online so its really a question about the online food diary/tracker. I do like to keep a diary but i cant seem to find a way to log a recipe - as in with all the ingredients saved so each time i have it, i just select say spag bol. Its cracking me up having to log all individual...

(Edit removed - posted in wrong bit)

Thanks for advice re oats so simple folks. I guess 27g is better than no fibre so I may just use up what ive got rather than have none. And buy a big bag next time :-) Re added sugar etc, the ingredients list don't list any (I just use the original not flavoured) so that should be ok. At least...

Oh brilliant. Thanks so much for ur quick reply... And seeing as u were so helpful, can I ask another. Oats so Simple original sachets - wud they count as porridge oats plain (allows 35g but sachets only 28g so assuming that bit is ok lol)... Sorry I realise that is a bit of a doh question but...

Hi there I've started SW online today and trying to get my head round how to do it. My question is on the healthy extras tab, it comes up Alpen Light cereal bar x1 and x2??? Confused!!! My main query was initially do the light lemon drizzle with yogurt bars count as generic light cereal bars...

Wow brilliant! :D Have a fab hol x

:D :D :D :D so chuffed for you! Oops re the crisps; and they'll probly leave u hungrier! Double-Bah! U need to stash some meal bars in ur bag or similar so if need arises again, at least the 200kcal will be justified! I also find the cadbury highlights hot chocs good for that kind of thing...

How ru finding its going? x

Im sure u will! It does pander to us who arent very good at banishing our binge monsters 100%. Good luck - not that you'll need it cos u'll be brilliant xx

Go Lisa :D x

Go for it Sarah :) x

No just alternate days, ie M, W, F as DDs if u also want to keep weekends as UDs (thats with tues/thurs as UDs aswell) and yes, u'd still lose! at roughly 500cals/ 2000 cals! Or if u want, u can do the Tue and Thurs as IM intermediate days (at say 12-1500 cals but not less) to save more relaxing...

Yeah thats my issue too ( well all of ours really). The feckin numbers on the feckin scales! We just cant seem to kick that! I keep saying to Jim if the scales were set to weigh 7lb lighter, i would be ecstatic no matter my clothes! And thats sooo skewed a mindset! :o We so should focus pn our...

Google it sweety! And look on here at the Johnston Up Day Down Day forum! (Its under 'other diet options' or similar!) Basically its fasting (not totally) alternate days! As a rough guide, u eat normally (2000cals) as an Up Day one day and the next do less than 500cals - a Down Day! This...

Ocht its a minefield eh! Dont waste time or head space worrying too much - i still lost so dont think it really matters! I gather dairy can affect folks on Dukan differently - but think its more simething they watch and recommend try changing if weight loss stalls! I have switched to Total 0%...

Thanks folks - it feels like I've gone back in time, in a good way tho with all the newbie panicky stuff! You wouldn't believe the crap questions I've been posting over in Dukan lol. What a coincidence that Jan is Dukan'ng too - great minds and all that! Talking of which - Mary - u said on my...
