it does take a while to sink in, keep reading your book and for me organisation is key i try to plan my meals for the week or at least a few days in advance and always have stuff in freezer like home made syn free chilli, spag bol, curry or soup all in micro tubs so if u can't be bothered to cook u have some thing that can be defrosted and cooked in less than half an hour, also sw chips, chip your potatoes put them on a plate spray with fry light and season and microwave for 7-8 min meanwhile turn oven on to about gas mark7 or 8 leave the baking tray in oven while chips are cooking in microwave, when chips are done in the micro transfer to the oven they should only take about 10-15 to go a nice golden brown, if u have got time turn oven off and let the chip sweat in the oven for about 5 mins they go a little bit soggy but still crispy, the ones i made last night were my best yet xx

12 pounds in 5 weeks is a good loss my weight loss has slowed down i'm happy to lose 0.5-1 pound a week, do you do extra easy? x

 

[donnajt]

Yes and I stick to it religiously (in my opinion), I keep a food diary here - I have 6stone to lose at this rate I'll be drawing my pension before I reach target lol!

I don't understand how others are losing 3,5,6lbs a week?

i switched to green days as i find my weight loss on extra easy is slow, i mainly do green days with the odd extra easy, wheni do green days i still try to have 1/3 of meals as superfree x

another tip - if you are doing extra easy make sure that you know what foods are free and superfree it is surprising how many people get it wrong, make sure that 1/3 of each meal is superfree if you are doing extra easy, otherwise you are not following the plan properly, thats why i don't extra easy, as i tend not to have 1/3 superfree with every meal and find thw weight loss id very slow xx

Same with me I Mainly do EE days and it's slow I find having a few red or green days really helps. But then again a loss is a loss whatever it is it all helps .

Thanks Sarah - when I did green before the weight loss was slow also - I don't understand my lack of loss - I did SW in 2010 - I lost almost 3 stone in about 4 months - just doesn't add up

Thanks for this tip Sarah - I've been over the book today but still non the wiser - even when we have pasta I have a bowl of salad for starters (not keen on hot and cold food together). However, I am gonna cut back on the pasta this week, drink lots more water and exercise

Thanks mellymelz - I am def gonna add a couple of red days, I agree a loss is a loss but I know that if I continue losing 0.5lb a week, I'll give up and that just can't happen

if i do EE i think i tend to over eat as i will eat all my free food and healthy extra is using on a meal then eat the superfree just for the sake of it (1/3) and i'm already full, i think EE is a little bit about portion control, like you should fill up on superfree first as it is lower in calories n will give u a better weight loss, have u tried success express?

I have lost weight a lot faster in the past i could lose a stone every 4 weeks but now it takes ages! guess my body has changed since having a baby in 2010 x

Rice pudding, boiled in water with some sweetner (i do enough for a couple of days and keep it int he fridge) drain water off when cooked and either reheat and add milk (i use 100ml) or yogurt, add extra sweetner and vanilla extract if desired and top with fruit, here i have raspberries but i also have it with chopped bananas and syrup and sliced peach and mango.

I always did rice pudding but when my Weight Loss slowed after week 2 weigh, I dropped it from my pudding list and just stuck to yogurt and fresh fruit...but I think I am going to make your one if I lose 2lbs or more this week!

salads

Sarah - these are the potatoes - they look amazing - how did you cook them please?

 

[donnajt]

well the verdicts out: it was very tasty, so here's how i made it:

5 onions, sliced thinly
2 tbsp of each: balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, worcestershire sauce, sweetner (mix all together in a bowl or cup)
a good pinch of each: salt, black pepper and white pepper
2 tsp of mustard powder

Fry onions in frylight add salt and pepper, fry until onions start to go translucent then add the mustard powder, stir and add the vinegars, W sauce and sweetner, continue to cook until the sauce thickens. ready to eat straight away, keep in the fridge in an air tight container and this will keep for a while

Sarah - mine is just cooling - it taste and smells fab - must admit i did cheat, just bunged it all into a saucepan on a low heat, should have cut my onions a bit finer (not that it bothers me)

If tears were fat - I'd have lost about a stone cutting these onions lol!

Gonna have some on a jacket spud with some laughing cow cheese
