Is it still the case that you can snack on yogurts? I thought the current plan was to only snack on super-free? Would be interested to know for definite!

Sorry if i sound thick here but how do you use your syns if you only snack on superfree?
So for example yesterday i had
1 Egg, toast (heb) 2 big tomatoes, 6 mushrooms
Salmon (1/2 syn for honey) huge salad, Banana
Pork loin, butternut squash, broccoli, cauliflower, gravy (2.5 syns)
Then i had chesse (hea) on toast (heb) later on as a snack.
I didn't want anymore after all that!

My typical meals are above, but I do try to have 2 HEXAs and 1 HEXB (I know thats the wrong way round, but I'm not a huge fan of cereal and bread!). I don't know about success express, I mostly have red days as Emsie noticed! But I cant complain at my weight losses, they have been good, but it really is each to thier own - I am VERY overweight, so am likely to lose more each week than someone who only has a stone or two to lose. I also know a girl in our group who only does green days and she's keeping up with me on the weight loss.
Just out of interest - are HEXAs and HEXBs part of success express?

I read in a thread last week that snacks can only be superfree & HEX's have to be used as part of a meal...but I may have got that wrong...?!

Last week I tried a SE day & was doing great until I used my last couple of syns on a cheese mugshot...forgetting I should have counted it as higher syns which meant I went well over my 15 & therefore my day wasn't SE either

Put the kettle on
I work on the assumption its like normal, use your syns on goodies like crisps sweets etc if theyre not used on a meal or a non super free snack. So technically you can live off nothing but fruit and salad but have a mars bar everyday!!!! Doesnt look good when i put it like that does it??!!

Not really - but thats probably cos I don't like Mars Bars
Bet some people look at that & think its Nirvana .

I think it depends on the veg. Some are more filling than others. I think Butternut squash is a decent replacement for Potato - its still a bit higher calorie wise than something like carrot or cabbage, but not as high as potatoes.
I asked my C the question about syns &hex's - she says that you should use your syns & hexs as usual, so have snacks using them if you want. You just can't use free foods as snacks, so mughsots, or pasta, or ham slices,v and count them as free - they would need ot be synned.
I tend to do extra easy days, so most of the stuff I usually syn is already synned on all plans anyway so not a problem for me.

Stirfrys are good, last night the family had spag bol and I had stirfry veg with bolognaise sauce on top was really nice, much better than it sounds honestly! Good old roast dinners, Swede topped cottage pie and veg, fish and veg, Salads, veg curry/chilli to name a few!

I've been doing SE for 2 weeks now (on and off with EE) and the first week I lost 3lbs and my next weigh in is for tomorrow.
Kingleds, cheers for setting it straight about the syns!
I've had some good SE meals:
Pizza chicken with roasted veg
Salmon and stirfry veg
Chilli and salad
Curry and Indian salad
Diet coke chicken and salad - although this didn't taste great! must have made it wrong!
Be good to hear some more recipies/ideas too!
