shredded wheat used to be 1 + 1 ryvita but its now changed to 1 and a half shredded wheat. if thats too messy have 1 one day and 2 the next to even it out.
Philadelphia EXTRA light is a B choice so you can only have it on Green (not EE or Red). You get 100g

Slow cooker baked chicken
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour on High setting followed by 8 to 9 hours on Low setting
This is the easiest baked chicken you can make. Start it in the morning, and it will be perfect at supper time.
Ingredients:
1 kg (2.2 lbs.) whole chicken (or equal weight of chicken pieces)
1 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste (suggested to start with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper)
Steps:
If you don't have a metal rack that fits in your slow cooker, you can create balls of aluminium foil of about an inch in diameter. Four should hold up your chicken nicely if you place them in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Rinse chicken under cold water, inside and out, then pat dry with paper towels.
Mix together paprika, salt, and pepper and evenly season chicken with the mixture.
Place chicken on rack or foil balls in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on High setting for 1 hour. Turn slow cooker to Low setting and cook for approximately 9 hours. The chicken is done when the meat is no longer pink and when the juices are clear.

Hi all,
I'm sorry but i havent weighed in this week As you know i've been feeling a but down with things and have been struggling a bit. Now back on plan but didn't want to get even more fed up by weighing myself on * week when i've been struggling anyway. I promise i will be weighing again as of next week, just didn't want to face the scale.
Hope you all have a good weekend.
Ooh Pebbles to add to your post...........not sure if any of you shop at Aldi but there orange and chocolate less than 70 cals bars as 2 for a HEB and are really lovely when you want a sweet fix, They do others in the less than 70 cal range too but i find them far to sweet (and thats coming from someone with a very sweet tooth!)
