Hey Jade, hope you enjoy red days (they are my fave) I have mainly stuck to between 4-5 red days and the other 2 EE or Green while follwing SW.
Carbs as much as I love them tend to make me feel sluggish if I eat them to often and I actually now feel a lot more satisfied on red days.

I switched from EE last year where I was lucky to lose 1lb a week to red and I lost 2-3lb a week consistently for three months and went from a size 14 to 10. I used to find that the protein on red days was much more filling than carbs such as pasta and potato.
Apparantly your body uses more calories to digest protein than it does carbs which is also good :-D

Wow 2-3lb a week is amazing! Well done!
Ah so thats how it works!!! Will have to start adding more protein foods throughout the day.
Iv lost over a stone on ee but now its stopped, so fingers crossed i lose on red!
I do love my carbs tho altho im gona try n swap sw chips for bns chips n mash for swede n carrot mash etc n just see how it goes!

Good luck, I am sure the weight will start falling off again
On red I used to still have things like cottage pie, but would top it with swede and carrot mash instead. Lasagne I made but used spinach instead of lasagne sheets. Sometimes I would use hex B if I really needed some potato for something or wanted a bit of pasta for spag bol.
I also used to have a wholemeal pittas from hex b toasted with some light spread to have with a curry. It tasted a bit like having chiapatti.
I am on ww now but only because of my job, I drive around all day and it is easier for me to pick up food on the run. I do prefer sw though and never felt hungry on it.
It does get tougher when you get down to your weight to keep losing, I am taller than you but I could only get down to 9 stone 11 on sw and then it became really tough but I also think I started to lose motivation because I had got to a size 10 and for some stupid reason thought I would stay that weight if I came off plan ;-) Here I am a year later and back to a size 14...

How are you getting on with Red days? I was doing EE and it went ok until I had a few weeks of STS with 4lb to go. Got a bit fed up with that and started calorie counting. It was totm last week and despite me doing lots more exercise I ended up putting on 2lb!! So very unhappy with myself atm.
I only have 6lb to lose so really want to get it cracked. I'm not sure on the rules for Red days though - could you give me any pointers? What am I allowed and not allowed? I understand the hex's are different depending on what day you do as well but because I started with the EE option as it was clearer to get started with, now I cant get my head around green and red It would be simpler if I went to group or joined online but I haven't really got the money for it at the moment.
