does anyone know if i can have some of my pie i made earlier for when i get peckish later? or should i just keep to fruit between meals.. seems a shame to waste what is left.. x
 
can some one please post.! lol
ive decided to have more green days this week.. but have read somewhere that green doesnt appeal to everyone. and sometimes u can have a weight gain.? awww is this true? im loving green days at the moment and ill have a red day before weigh in if thats helps thanks.. lushx
 
I will do my best to reply

I only do green days as I am a vegetarian
I lost 70lb a few years ago to get to target - where I remained for a couple of years
then due to medication and a knee problem (so lack of mobility) I started to gain the weight
mentally I had to be ready to lose the weight again - an my time is NOW

I think in this cold weather green days are great

just dont forget to weigh and measure all healthy extras and syns
if you dont you will find your guestimate of a portion growns and grows

if you have a good look on my thread I do add some recipes that might be useful to you :):)

good luck
 
hi how do i get to ur thread?
im loving green at the moment. but kinda strange eating loads potatoes. i made this massive home maded cheese pie yesterday .. with mixed veg.. was amazing..! lol healthy extra extra light cheese.!
was loads left over so had a bit before i went to bed.. was that ok.?
or should i of just kept that for my main meal and have fruit inbetween my meals? my mate said u can eat it when ever u like? is that true? many thanks lushx
 
I can see no problem with you eating what you like when you like as long as you are aware of any syns or healthy extras contained in it. It's only Extra Easy that SW have said to eat Superfree food i.e. fruit and veg in between meals. I wouldn't worry too much.

Good luck

I was under the impression you could eat as much free food as you liked (depending on your day) i'm finding it hard to come up with snacks on green though. Any ideas?
 
i thought u could eat free food whenever lol.
ive only just swapped to green loving it.. snacks>> mug shots find these in asda.. or fat free yougurt with sliced banana.. boiled eggs.. i make a huge pasta bake and eat this through out the day. last night i maded a potatoe bake with fried mushrooms..onions. peas and cheese on top free foods are just that.. eat them whenever and how much u like till ur full not exploding.. lol lushx
 
as i write this im in the middle of eating banoffe pie.. yummy.
im on a green day again today. maded this lovely cottage pie tonight altho i syned the lean mince the rest was bovil stock and free veg.
with mash on top..
i seem to be having a better week on green and im hoping for a good weight loss this week lushx
 
awww :( ok wasnt sure if it was a good idea to weigh myself this week two days before my weigh in. but i wanted to see how i was getting on with green. as i havent done them before.. and it seems ive gained 2lbs..! is this normal i havent cheated once.! kept a food diary and everything. i feel so down now.. or should i just wait till thursday for my meeting? plese reply thanks lushx
 
hi

well the scales are a funny thing like this morning i hadnt lost more than a pound today is my weigh in day and 3 hours later i was 2lb lighter not eaten anything so sometimes dont know how it works try to save your weigh in till the day it easy to get disapointed i am terrible i weigh a few times a week just cant kick the habit.

would love the recipe for you pie i cant get my head around green days never know what to have

do you have a nice pasta recipe?
 
Wait for Thursday I have been know to put on more than 2lb for no reason then it just goes again for no reason
stick with the plan and take your food diary to your meeting (just in case) ask your leader for some help
and dont forget all sets of scales are differnt - you should really only use one set
 
fingers crossed then for tomorrow..!
the recipe for the cheese and vegtable pie is
make mash potatoes mash with little flora extra light 2 syns
milk from extra healthy
carb sauce very low fat small tub 4 syns from asda
mix this into the mash with mushrooms and fried onions and any other free veg u like.!
spoon mixture in to a pie dish. cook for about 30 minutes on 180c
and its enough to feed 4 people so total syns would be about 2 per person.. i add healthy extra for the cheese which i sprinkle on top its lovely..!! hope u like it lushx
 
pasta recipe..
cooked loads of pasta.. add qourn mince. fried onions. mushrooms
bovril stock and stir through
and any amount of free vegtables.. sprinkle very low fat cheese on top. bake for 30 minutes 180c. yummy..

i maded another pasta bake the other day
stir through 6 extra light laughing cow cheese triangles (healthy extra) into cooked pasta.
add
peas. sweetcorn and bake for 25 minutes 180c

also slimming world quiche is nice..
150gms cottage cheese
4 eggs
herbs. spices.
fried vegetables
mix together and spoon in to a quiche tray
and cook for 35 minutes 180c
totally free.!! mmmmm lushx
 
Hi lush, good luck for your WI tomorrow I will keep my fingers crossed for you :D I'm a red day follower so cant really offer much advice on green, I do maybe 2 GD a week , but it leaves me craving for naughty food lol :D not to mention bunged up, so I do limit how many I do.

When I do it though I snack on some bachelors savoury rice, I make a proper rice pudding with milk which gives me 2 portions, I made quorn bolognese pasta bake out of a sw mag, which is surprisingly nice (never had quorn before)

Banoffee pie sounds good. I would think if its within syns you can eat as much as you like, I dont eat much fruit mainly veg, so thats definitely not the only snack I have.

good luck
