well done, at least you havnt put weight on!

which day you people lose more weight on the green or the red? I've not got the stuff for the extra easy so don't know how I would work out what is free and what is a sin etc.

So if the green and red days are all free how does that effect your sins? Do they then change?

i do the extra easy aswell. only beeb doing it 3 weeks. have you not got the book which explains everything in?

Can you check it out online Jo? They have a whole week's recipes based on extra easy on there so I'm sure they should also be able to explain about it there too. Otherwise, I would definitely suggest picking up a cheap book on the bay since it gives all the syn values for extra easy in the back too.

I think I might try and live off the free food for a while and see if that helps me any. I so need to lose some weight. I did lose a stone before xmas but then put it all back on again.... Dress fitting 4th feb yikes!

well done jennebel xx

anything u need clarebella just type away and we will come along at some point in the day and answer it lol lots of us on here are complete converts

has anyone done a whole week with no syns and just the free stuff and if so how much did they lose?

i did no syns and lost 4.5 lbs then had syns the following week and lost 2lbs so if you stick to plan syns or not you still lose weight i only put on when i come off plan completely for more than 2 days or i drink lots of alcohol as i find that is a trigger for me empty calorie wise

Think I will have to try and have a few syn free days - but not sure I could manage a whole week without. The whole reason I joined SW in the first place is that I love my food, and didn't want to have to go without anything!

if i have syns its for sauces or extra bread on a good week and use if for alcohol and treats aswell if i need them on a normal week but i dont crave them which is a good thing

Do you guys eat loads? I don't eat that much as I don't have a big appetite with not moving around that much. I tend to eat more because I just fancy something (which is usually snack things I know I shouldn't have) I was told the last time that I was doing SW that I wasn't eating enough so it wasn't working and that I should eat more. How much do you all eat for it to work?

i eat 3 meals a day and snack on fruit my portions are normal size i would say xx

Yeah we're regularly told we have to eat to lose the weight lol. My biggest problem is breakfast because I never eat it! We were also told that if we're doing extra easy that we must make sure that we have 1/3 of our plate of superfree food for it to work properly as well.

How do you girls get cheap shopping whenever i do my shopping its always loads n im supposed too be saving lol x

Yeah i buy frozen but still works out loads more :( Prob why i always fail on diets like this tbh x

It's only really the meat you'd pay out more for, but if you go to the local butchers/market you should be able to get a fair price there - I think supermarkets do tend to overcharge for fresh meat! I'm also a dab handing at cutting up a chicken, so my chicken breast is cheaper and I still have the rest of the meat on the chicken to do as I please with as well - essentially just because you need the lean meat doesn't mean that you can't cut the fat off the meat yourself - that's what you're being charged so much for!

With snack foods, just keep an eye out for the bargains and offers. Remember when buying your yoghurt that Mullerlight aren't the only fat free yoghurts around. I buy a large tub of plain fat free natural yoghurt and use cake flavouring (like lemon, orange or vanilla essence) to make it up into whatever flavour I fancy - only takes one or two drops! :)

I'm sure it will hun, good luck :)

that sound lush !

I used to make chocolate mousse with fat free fromage frais and then stir in some chocolate options which I think was something like a syn and a half (can't remember so check it out) and then mix in some gelatin. Whisk it all together and stick it in the fridge and its good to go.

Oh no! What happened to them? I freeze yoghurt's all the time and eat them. I like it because it feels like I'm eating something and because it takes so long to eat them I feel more satisfied than if I had just eaten a yogurt.

No it's not - but if you're having milk in it you either need to take it from the allowance on a healthy extra or count 1/2 syn for each dash

Juice as in squash or pure fruit juice? Because the pure stuff has a syn value hun, don't know if you realise?
