Well Done, thats fantastic...
I am thinking if I do a diary I am more likely to stick to the plan??? Thats my thought?? Also I have gained sooooo much from reading yours that I feel its only fair I return the favour for the next newbies... How soon did you get your head round the EE plan?? I'm worried I get it wrong?

It is if you're honest with yourself. Don't get me wrong I used to be as bad..I'd not include everything I ate say if I went over syns, or I'd do a disappearing act if I had been naughty!!
I really would recommend it though as it helps keep yourself accountable, it's surprising how fast all those little syns add up, and the support from people (like you!) commenting on your diary really helps.
I've never done SW before when EE wasn't invented, so I got to grips with it very easily
In short fruit and veg free, nearly all of your meat is free too along with pasta and potatoes. Fibre and dairy are limited and you get a daily allowance- milk, cheese, bread, cereals etc. Others synned! I probably can't explain it very well but all will become clear when you get your pack (Are you joining a group?)This forum is amazing- plenty of help, support and advice is always there when you need it!

Yay! Fabulous news :-D well done!
I saw you'd rec'd seasoning the smash mix with spices and salt and pepper etc. - great idea. We had chicken goujons made with smash and they were great but a little bland now you mention it. I can see how this would be a massive improvement.

Thanks! I throw a bit of everything into the smash mix haha, today it was mixed herbs, garlic salt, smoked paprika and a bit of aromat for good measure

It's just an all purpose seasoning so a blend of different herbs and spices

What a nice way to start the week! I've been getting so many compliments at work lately but just shrugging them off (I had my hair done a few weeks ago, highlights and a fringe cut in etc- haven't had one since i was a kid!)
Just now, one of the therapists said "I hope you don't mind me saying but you look radiant! It's like I'm suddenly noticing a transformation" Really made me smile

Morning
Ah I'm gutted...woke up thinking it was Friday! For some reason I've been a day ahead of myself all week lol! Nevermind, It's nearly the weekend and actually, the week has gone pretty fast So pleased I ended up having a good day yesterday because mid morning, I'd talked myself into getting a panini from the cafe for my dinner, but it would have took me over me syns. Well, I didn't. I got a baked potato instead once I'd seen they had some- just fancied one! small victory.
Breakfast
BBQ Baked Beans on 2 slices WM Toast (HEX B)
Banana
Dinner
3 x Sesame Ryvita (4.5) topped with Red Pepper & Chilli Low Low Mature Cheddar Spread (Half HEX A)
Carrot Sticks & Homemade Coleslaw
Lemon Greek Style Muller Yogurt (0.5)
Tea
Chicken, Bacon and Tomato Pasta Bake topped with Low Fat Cheese (Half HEX A) - Veg includes Onion, Garlic, Carrot, Pepper, Mushrooms, Passata.

I stole that idea from Stevie
I got mine from Asda. My local Tesco sells the Low Low range too but not that flavour!

Talks to self!
Try not get the pre-grated cheese, it's higher in syns if I remember right, they do something to it to stop it sticking together?
