Confused me too as an ex red/greener! But yes it's all down to the 1/3 superfree rule - this is what cuts your portions of the other stuff enabling you to eat both in a meal together, I love it! Far easier, especially if eating out.

Honk x 6 - I keep forgetting!

Just on red/green plans as a B choice and not on EE though isn't it? Helpfully it's not on the website! :confused:

Hi welcome aboard :) have you read up on Extra Easy plan? you don't need to just do red/greens anymore x

Welcome aboard :) bananas are good for headaches I find, and of course oodles water, good luck to you x

pizza made with base of Warburtons sandwich thins (I know most people use the wraps at 8 syns but this is 5 syns and plenty for one person as you can top both halves) with passata, chicken strips, chilli, pineapple and hea kerry low low cheese served with big salad for my 1/3

I don't think the blue triangles are a hea on EE?

Have you tried couscous porridge? could do it with bulgar wheat too probably :) I like my porridge oats soaked overnight in yogurt, they swell up and you can eat cold or warm up in microwave - saves a hea!

Looked for the pumpkin in Asda today to not avail :(

I guess on reflection it was this?

Reading some messages elsewhere about poeple who don't eat/drink all day on weigh in day, seems rather silly to me :confused: it wouldn't make any difference anyway would it?

i'd checked them a few weeks before and it came up as 8syns, but then I never had one as they'd sold out at cinema, then I double checked last week after having one and yup 14 syns! I don't know if I mistook it, or it was wrong size , or if it's changed so best double check your ones too just in...

Unfortunately I can't as swapped groups now so that gain will have to stay in my head till next Monday! :( Today's food: B: 2 hifi lights HEB (started new job and not quite got time to have anything more than this or fruit I can eat on the way, unless I get up SUPER early (which I am not going...

Honk :)

hmm 0.5 on not sweating it too much though, weighed in a few days earlier than normal, had a cold and went off veggies so wasn't having that 1/3 sf for a day or two and also had bread twice and pasta twice in the same week.

There are some cans of soup listed in the book as healthy extras, I don't offhand know which though as I would make my own rather than waste a he on one

your mother sounds mighty like mine Jezzi :(. I took the latter option after many years of emotional abuse - well and physical but it was the emotional that was most damaging.

Good luck Claire, sure you won't be needing it though :) you sound very organised and determined

Glad I'm not the only one that has seen it in practise then! No I know you don't need a special jacket potato oven, but most places who serve them do have them (the black and brass things with glass at the top) as otherwise the proper oven would be just full o tatties ;)

A bit nervous today as changing groups so have my weigh in tonight instead of on a wednesday night, hopefully I will get at least 0.5lb so I can get my 1st award! B: kiwi x2, pineapple, dollop of ff greek yogurt L: heb small wholemeal bread, filled with lean bacon and lots of crispy lettuce...

Having worked in catering a long time I can confirm that A LOT of places microwave their jacket spuds and then fry them off to crisp them up if they don't have those jacket potato ovens. As to if Wetherspoons do I don't know, not worked there, but I guess it would be a possibility. Anyway...

Honk :) Yoyoer - congratulations! i got one 9 weeks ago and it's brilliant :)

But isn't the info of your previous losses stored on your card when you switch? I don't mind too much about that but when you are an existing member of SW I think that kind of stuff should carry over really.

You could be coming down with something maybe? I have a cold and a few days before it started my appetite went and I didn't feel hunger at all, was also having to "force" feed myself, really didn't want it but knew I needed it.

I'm having some bread as my HEB for like the 2nd time in 5 weeks on plan today, aside from that I have had a warburtons wrap (synned). I don't miss it really, I also have had pasta/couscous a handful of times over these weeks as they really don't agree with my digestive system even though I LOVE...

When you change group I heard that you aren't eligible for SOW/SOM etc until your membership has been transferred, does anyone have any idea how long this takes as it's a bit mean I think :(

Christmas present to myself, yes, excellent way of putting it, what better gift could we give ourselves than being happier, healthier and hotter ;)

great link thanks :) I am thinking curries might be the way forward as I had some steamed yesterday and didn't really like them!

low fat Supernoodles are down to 50p in Tesco

Tesco icanned Irish Stew is free on EE/red too, never tried it though.

Just wondering if SW class it as a fruit or veg though? can't find any canned pumpkin at all on there to check though

the Asda ones are a favourite of ours, especially with lots of hm chilli sauce dribbled all over them <drool>

Are the cans of pumpkin puree free? I can't find them on syns online

Mixed some peri peri sauce in for a very very passable kebab shop style chilli sauce to go on kebabs, sausages, burgers etc

I have some turnips and no idea what to do with them other boil/steam, help!

yes it's true, our consultant told us last week :) she doesn't like them though, too almondy she says

Some pasta and sauces are free on green/extra easy, you'd have to check the syns out for each flavour though, and they are only free if made up with just water - you won't notice the difference tbh. Again some of those mugshots things are free on green/ee, beware of buying them in discount shops...

Hope y'all don't mind me posting on this thread as a newbie - just wanted to say that although new here am a veteran of net forums and without exception they all go through phases of... crapness shall we call it? maybe with this being weight loss it goes a bit deeper than a lot of others, people...

it's exactly this :mad:

have your HEa LOL!

hea: 30g cheddar heb: had one hifilight so far, will either have another for supper, or maybe 3 finn crisp thins

Quorn sticky fillets with beans and 1/3 frylighted onions

SW recommend between 5 and 15 syns a day. It's up to you in that frame to have what you feel is right for you. If you started too low on syns, as you get close to target and weight loss slows down you'd have nothing in hand to cut back a bit on to continue losing weight. i have around 5 some...

well done on rejoining, I have too after almost 5 yr and with this new Extra easy it#s just clicked, so much easier than red/greens I think, good luck!

half a Honk errr....ho! been on plan technically but as am full of the cold it's been a day of not so much superfree as usual- plenty fruit but no veg

lost 3.5lb this week bringing my total so far to 4lbs, only another 10lb to go to my mini Xmas goal :D ally__pally (0 down 19 to go) Missjlouise (4.5lb down 23.5 to go) ANiceBitOfDust ( 4lb down 10lb to go)

EE: 2 quorn sticky gingerlime fillets, mashed potato, 1.3 salad - bit of a strange combo I suppose but not feeling too great today and it's what I fancy BTW - the quorn 5 bean chilli is really really nice and very filling - ask them not to put the doritos on to remove temptation unless you want...

outlaws, love it! that Big Mac almost ended up squished in their face I have to say!!

I don't go as much now I am on SW, not because it's constipation but just because I am eating more real food and as such my body absorbs it properly and there is less errr.... waste!

from memory that sounds right yes, have you done a google search not just a forum one, there might be something cached

wise words. drawing the line is important to stop you continuing but as you say you need to addres the reasons you fell off plan and have a strategy in place to stop it happening again

bet mine is smaller lol I discovered marmite mixed into quark for toast/bread/crispbreads today, lovely!

honkilidoodily

had my takeaway, half the boiled rice portion and half the chow mein portion but as the book underestimates massively on portion sizes compared to what you get will still call it the 6.5

hahaha well just been to weigh in- 3.5lbs off :) was a measly half lb away from my stone award booo! but then I did have two other award to keep me going lol Slimmer of the week and Slimmer of the month wahoooooooo!!!!!!!! Todays food: B: 2 hifi light HEB, grapefruit L: pickled gherkins...

but surely if you are prone to bingeing then however many syns you have allocated wouldn't stop it, if you are in that frame of mind to binge you'll just binge anyway? (saying that an ex binger myself) Don't like the way it comes across as saying well we'd better let these bigger people have...

oohhhh!

Thinking a chicken dhansak and boiled rice from takeaway as I forgot to get anything out of the freezer for tea!

I'm a recent convert to Quark :) My favourites are: a simple topping for fruit etc when mixed with sweetener Mixed with lime juice and sweetener for a kind of key lime thing mixed with small amount of blue cheese (synned) and felt a few hours for the taste to take on, use as a pasta sauce, or...

Hello thansk for stopping in past :) I'm doing EE but a lot of my days end up being practically red by chance lol I normally I have around 10 syns a day, tend to have them as ingredients in meals rather than choc etc but I do have the odd rare day where I don't have more than a few syns and...

FAT FREE PRINGLES????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 syns on finn crisp thins 1 syn on half a higlights possibly having a takeaway later, either a chow mein or a dhansak and boiled rice

:happy096: doing good there

May I join you? i'm working towards the stone for Xmas thing at my group with my wee tree to colour in the baubles :) started it off last week with a half lb loss, got my ticker all sorted too :)

its more the time it takes up when we could be talking about ideas etc, at my group (dnt know if typical or a crap group) we do the so and so lost x, clap, what do you plan to lose next week, then onto the next person - then by times that's done, draw the raffle and do SOW then it's finished...

thirded, normal!

just realised only spent 1 syn today on hp sauce - normally have around 6-10 syns in my meals so this is a first! I could have had a couple of hifi bars 6 and a highlights 2 for supper :) but as it's almost bedtime I shan't bother now!

I;m going for martini extra dry with diet lemonade for my xmas tipple this Christmas. Less syns than wine.

Yes it riles me a bit too, then again lots of things at my group do!! maybe I am turning into a grumpy old woman...

It does say in the books for red/green recommend to have the third superfree too. I heard they are changing these plans next year smetime to make it definietely needed a third superfree like on EE, anyone else heard this or is it just rumour?

HONK!

Fantastic :)

LMAO! My find is Kerry Low Low cheese spread melted into pasta with a wee bit of the pasta cooking water, totally scrummy! Could make a mighty fine cauliflower cheese with it too.

hea cheese stuffed into a chicken breast with some quark/seasoning/herbs and lean bacon wrapped round it, with cabbage and cauli

Agree - eat a third less if you want to do this. Otherwise you are in effect taking in a third more calories (yes I know we don't calorie count but the point of the 1/3 sf rule is to naturally reduce calories taken in without having to count). So maybe half the potato and beans, or just have one...

yep exactly that, if it were just the day i could cope but I know it'd lead to just one more day, one more day, then might as well wait till Jan and start anew - and then i could easily put back on half the weight I will have worked so hard to loose.

great idea for a thread :) HEB = All bran choc crunch stuff HEA = 30g cheese

Theres a poster up in my group, 80 pieces of butterkist toffee popcorn is 10 syns, so get some freezer bags and start counting them out lol

The cold meat and pickles kind of thing is what we do a picky tea on Xmas day, easily swable, Boxing day tea is always left over turkey, with chips and branston pickle, again totally fine, so it's really just the pudding and mince pies that I need to think about. and the booze lol

Love that story! LOL I overdosed on cheese last year, determined that if I have any it'll be synned and will use my hebs on ryvitas to go alongside. I hopefullywill have lost the taste/ability to overeat by then I think, 5 weeks in and struggling to finish my meals already, must make...

My consultant always mentions them, really wish she wouldn't! then again she pushes the have a bowl of fruit after for your 1/3 sf too :/ I'm changing groups!! Also tweaking - am sick of people pushing tweaks in group like the crisps etc

pasta and sauce/mugshots and the like are not real food and I hate that SW seems to push them, especially the pushing of p'n's as a snack?! it should be as a part of a meal, there's far too much in it for a mere snack!

bookmarked this to read later on, will keep me busy and I won't think about eating LOL

EE and red - greens don't work for me, too much emphasis on carby crap that my body cannot seem to process easily. I always feel hungry on greens too.

Welcome to my food diary :D I'm a big fan of cooking and of real food, you won't find mugshots in here! :eat: Please please please feel free to comment, for good or bad - am a (VERY!) big girl and can take it! I follow Extra Easy although several times I am finding my days could be Red but I...
