i have tried slimming world in the past and all ways stuck to green days as i am not a big fan of meat,

i started the plan again this week and giving Extra Easy ago couldn't get my head around it last time and gave up.

i am hoping if i start a food diary i can see where i am going wrong and would like you lovely people to help me keep on track and get some feedback.

Hi Clelmt and :welcome:...you look like you are doing just fine..hope you don't mind me putting my 2 penny worth in, but you could save yourself 3 syns if you made the syn free gravy...for 4 of us I use 3 oxo cubes add as much water as you feel is enough and then stir in Mr Mash (syn free dried potato from Asda) or any other syn free dried potato, until it reaches the consistency you like...very yummy and very free...gl with the rest of your journey xx

There are lots of wonderful recipes on this site and that was one of them, I just got sick of using so many syns on gravy so I went and searched to see what I could find lol x

 

[JaneB]

That's great lily I haven't heard of that before, going to try it out, the more syn's we can save the better, we can use them on something else like ie, (mini size milky way 3.5syns). x

Just wanted to say hello and well done! im new to all this but looking at your journey, you have done a fabulous job. Can i ask, are you getting bored of it yet? x

 

[clelmt]

I have only been on this plan a few days, and I really like it, I get bored with green and don't eat much meat to have red days so this is great to have a bit of both each day
It is hard to eat lots of fruit though if I don't have veg with my meal


Will catch up my meal plan later been busy working

Hi there and welcome.

If you dont mind me commenting hun. Are you doing Ee again today?? If so, you are only supposed to have 1 x Heb and what 1 x Hea are you having?? What syns have you had??
You may not feel that you want the syns, but they also add to the weightloss believe it or not. Also when you get to target one thing you will do is reduce your syns but if your don't eat any to begin with there is nothing to reduce.
I've been doing ee for the last 2-3 weeks on my food dairy if you fancy a look.
Good luck and keep at it!! X
