Ah cheers chick, I find keeping a diary helps me keep on it and I take pictures of all my meals - helps me remember what I've eaten

Good luck with it and if you have any questions feel free to shout! Takes a bit to get your head round some things but it will become second nature soon enough! I'll keep my eyes out for you xx

Hey Tig! The carbonara was gorgeous and so easy. I love creamy pasta but 'natch can't use cream so Philly light and some water or stock really is an amazing alternative. Enjoy xx

Hey rubyruby!

Peruse at your leisure

Food looking good, but remember on a green day you can have 2 HexA and HexB. And secondly the sausages will probably be higher in syns due to them being meat. I use tesco lighter ones that are 1 syn on red or EE but on green they are 4 syns each. But seeing as you haven't had any others you are covered!

Make sure you drink plenty of fluid on green days because the fibre intake will shock the system and you *could* become very erm, bunged up in the tummy area

Ask as many questions as you want! That's what we are here for - to help each other. Good luck tomorrow and pop by any time!

Syn free charleybabes! Well, if using te Philly light as a HexA. I just "fried" off mushrooms n onions while pasta is cooking. When done, add to the veg and whack your Philly light in. I added some of the pasta water rather than stock to thin the cheese, when at a thinner consistency crack 2 eggs in and turn off the heat or they will scramble!

Stir through till they are cooked by the heat of everything else - couple of mins and serve! I added a HexB of chicken and some people add smoked bacon. Lush. Enjoy!! Xx

Saturday 21st January
No diet plans today unfortunately all syns and off plan - my brother is disabled so I helped him move house and he 'thanked' me n other helpers by providing food....

Bfast
1/4 chicken n bacon sandwich 6 syns

Pint of kronenburg
1 jd n diet coke

3 small slices of pepperoni pizza

1/2 portion chicken tikka masala
Pilau rice
Plain naan
Cauliflower bhaji

Exercise - lots of lugging heavy furniture, kitchen appliances and boxes around. 'Entertained' the german shepherd in the garden for about half n hour and also his 3 year old son, that must count for something.

Small glass of rose wine when I got in, followed by some diet pepsi.

Syns - gave up attempting to count after the breakfast tbh. Don't feel awful about it, some times life comes first and stuff

No hexes, no where near enough water and no where near enough sleep! But done.
