Have a look through the food diarys for ideals. I love making new recipes like tonight we had pork sweet n sour i served it with egg fried rice.

Lots of ideals on food diaires.

Good luck with your weight loss journey

Welcome and good luck! Stock up on herbs and spices - you can make what seems like the most boring dinners taste fab with a bit of tasty flavour!

I'd also recommend Mug Shots and super noodles (the free ones!) for carb snacks. Get loads of fruit to keep nibbling on and perhaps some frozen veg (lasts longer).

This thread is a couple of years old but I think it's a REALLY helpful one for the must-haves when you're just starting just be sure to check that some things mentioned as syns/healthy extras etc still have the same values in 2013 as things change from time to time.

Are you doing Extra Easy? I'm assuming you are as that's what people these days tend to start with. If so, you should have one Healthy Extra A which is generally cheese and milk and means you're getting enough calcium in your diet. You should also have a Healthy Extra B which is things like cereal, cereal bars, breads, nuts, crispbreads. These generally are to make sure that you are eating enough fibre. There should be lists of As and Bs in the books/materials you have from SW. Hope this cleared it up a little It can seem a bit tricky at first but it soon becomes second nature!

Good luck on your journey, I would go with spices, soy sauce, Alpen light bars, mug shots (the ones with red writing), muller light yoghurt, crab sticks oh and loads of fruit and veg

Have a look online under useful features, search for "secrets of your store cupboard" and "food optimise your food cupboard" for some ideas.

Well done that's a brilliant loss! Don't despair eating out doesn't have to mean A bad week. Do you know where you are going? If so have a look at the menu before hard and plan. Have a look at the eating out forum on here and also in the useful features online they often have eating out articles. Good luck
