Hi Leah, I've found your new thread!

If your following EE, your jacket at lunch would be free. just make sure your having 1/3 super free with your meals. So the oil you used for dinner can be your 2nd heb. Also the noodles you've had make sure they were dried as fresh noodles have syns. I made this mistake myself.
First day looks good though. xx

 

[LeahB]

Hi thanks for taking a look for me. I didnt realise you could use oil as heb, thats good to know i dont know why i said jacket was my heb when potatoes are free (baby brain)

Ooops the noodles were sharwoods wet noodles that u just throw in the wok, i take it you should only use dried rice, pasta and noodles then xx

 

[Sammy 21]

Yes you can use oil, have you tried fry light? It's a god send, it's free so saves you lots of syns.
I think fresh pasta & noodles are coated in oil which is why they're syned.

 

[LeahB]

Yeah i have fry light but it just doesnt cook right, no matter how much you put in in just doesnt seem to cook the food x

 

[LeahB]

Todays menu:

HeA, milk and 2 babybels
HeB, 2 weetabix, 2 alpen lights

Breakfast - 2 weetabix and milk
Snack - alpen light, banana, babybel light
Lunch - alpen light crumbled into fat free strawberry yoghurt and sliced banana
Dinner - homemade chicken curry and pasta (chicken, onions, mushrooms, tin tomatoes, spinach, potatoes, herbs and spices)

No syns..... I dont think??

 

[Sammy 21]

It's definitely not the same as oil, I'm lucky i don't mind it.
Hope your having a good day. I'm shattered today, Long day at work. Looking forward to an early night!

 

[LeahB]

I used it last night and today actually and it did cook the food maybe im just impatient lol. Hope you managed to get ur early night x

Hopefully i dont put a lb a week on until the end now like they say you do or that will be 40lb gained!!! Oh dear why didnt i start this plan before now

We're pretty much at the same point, Im also going to try my hardest not to gain much more, could handle 1/2lb gain a week but not 1lb!
I've had a really good week on plan this week so here's to a few more! x

 

[LeahB]

I no what you mean! Another 10lbs is better than 20 lol. Well my week seems to be going good but as im a serial weigher i do it every morning and im 1/4lb higher than when i started on monday :/ hmmm x
