    the official line from slimming world is to add extra heb's and see how many you need to maintain. so for eg ... add extra heb on 3 days...if still lose,add more following week and so on. that is the only official information. pretty much you just have to see what works for you x

    No money for superfree til next week - am i wasting my time?

    yep pretty much...you dont have to have third superfree,you get 2 heb and 1 or 2 hea - your choice as to 1 or 2. i love green days,they are my fave anyway as i feel so full and satisfied on them and also as said before they are the cheapest.
