Hiya :) Good luck with your target hun, hope your meet it! I appreciate the support thank you, you often do feel alone don't you, but nice to know Im not! Haha. I have only just learnt about the EE days actually, I started Slimming World yearssssss ago, when they only had Red and Green days, so i tend to just follow those even though they don't teach them anymore, I'm just hoping they haven't stopped teaching them because they don't work anymore haha! Thanks you again x

I don`t think that is the case Lily, they pushed EE so much that hardly anyone was doing red and green. At least not at the classes I have visited over the last couple of years.

When I first started I lost 2 stone very quickly on red and green. Then eventually went to EE and started messing around a bit. I like big portions and that don`t work.

Keep going Lily. Will pop in and see you again xx
 
I think if you stick to what you know, you'll be fine. If you're used to Red & Green then stay with them, I'm sure they worked for thousands of people before EE was introduced! When I went to WW years ago I was fine with ProPoints but when they pushed Filling & Healthy I was completely lost and mucked myself up. Stay with what you know, here for moral support, you can do it xx

You've had a great couple of food days, I've never made the chilli or quiche, two more things to try :) xx
 
Thanks everyone xx

Its weigh in day tomorrow and i feel nervous! Haha, what is wrong with me. I need to train my brain not to care so much I think, I'm still in the mind set of stupid crash diets and trying to get the weigh off really quickly when that isn't what i have planned for this year at all, as long as I'm losing I want to be happy. A lot easier said than done lol. x

They are both great. I have the chilli so often and the quiche is just really good, you can have it as part of a meal, for your lunch, for your breakfast, keep it in the fridge to snack, it really comes in handy. Let me know if you try them and like them :) xx
 
Aaawww try not to be nervous...alot easier said than done!!! I am always nervous but i think its also good coz it shows u care! Xxx

Good luck for weigh in Lily. :fingerscrossed:.

Your food looks good. It is rare to see butter on diaries on here. I have forgotten what it taste like;

Have also made a note of your soup. Do you blitz it after cooking?
