Hi Guys. Can I join please? . I'm from Co. Mayo and I've joined online- I actually joined last week but didn't get a chance to plan properly so didn't follow plan 100% and WI was STS. Restarting now and all set to go tomorrow. Writing up my shopping list at mo. Not looking forward to trying to diet over bank hol weekend though as I always fall apart on diets at weekend .
I'd really love to have the craic and keep in touch .. PS Can we have cabbage and bacon on EE plan? True Irish gal coming out in me now haha. I know cabbage free but is bacon ok? oh and what bread do you get? I was eating normal wholemeal bread slices last week but now I realise the slices probably too big. I've a lot to learn....

Hi Guys. Can I join please?

Bread wise - I think the best is the Dunnes stores better for you wholemeal - 3 slices is a HEB but make sure it's the wholemeal and not the grain one as they are higher and need to be synned.
As was said - bacon is fine just cut the fat off. Now I have a hankering for bacon - had no idea what to have for dinner and I think you've just solved my dilemma
Bank hols will be fine - make your plan and try to "save" some syns for the weekend if you feel you need the extra back up. Some people can have an off plan day and still have a good loss. Good Luck.

Hi Guys. Aw thanks . Ya I got the thick WW bread and SW online says it's a HEB for 2 slices- it's actually very nice.
Yay I can have cabbage and bacon - I actually hate fat on meats anyway.
Diet has got off to a much better start this week- I'm eating loadsa free foods and keeping full. I downloaded recipes and enjoying trying them- usually crap cook, ha.
Will keep in touch.
One last question - how many syns is a bottle of coors Light and a measure of vodka- do you guys know ???
Thanks a mill. X

PUMPKINS in SUPAVALU - only one euro - great for Halloween and great for soup (add some onion, bit of garlic and the pumpkin - sweat til soft with frylight and then add veg stock - simmer til all nice and soft - add some grated nutmeg - blitz - and serve with a little bit of fat free fromage frais or cream if you have the syns to spare).
Cheap and cheerful and perfect for Autumn days.

40 cals is quite low for a chicken dipper - I syn at 3 or 3.5 each. (No point in fooling myself so I tend to over rather than under if I am not sure). I also think the knorr curry sauce would be 3/4 syns per serving not 5 per packet (to roughly work it out 1 syn is 20 cals - so if it has 180 cal per packet & you make a meal for 2 then it's 4.5 syns each.
When I get stuck cutting out grains (to one portion per day of either bread, porridge, rice or potatoes & 2 no grain days if I can - this also means nothing with flour at all) seems to get me going again. I eat more dairy (low low cheese and mullers) so that I am satiated & loads of veg.
Stick to it and it will work - I seem to get 2/3 good losses and then 2/3 stay the sames or 1/2 lb off then back to a good loss. It's different for everyone. You'll get there!

Not yet anyway - find it hard enough to find time to have a look at these forums. I'm getting loads of tips and I'm so happy to know I'm nt the only one who struggles or who doesn't have huge losses really quickly.

Just get yourself back on track as soon as possible - SW works when you do it right - have come to the conclusion no one ever reaches the end of the days and wishes that they had eaten more cake or kebabs! Good Luck.
