I get the ones from the chiller section (2 in a pack) and you caught me out there. . I thought they were free as well but just googled and found that they are half a syn! :/ will amend my diary now!

Yes I think that they are nice and having them with all the trimmings (chips, cheese, gherkins and ketchup! ) makes me feel like I am having a naughty meal ;) Xx

Thanks Jess :) I quite like them sometimes, especially when I have busy days and I know I can have two healthy extras ;) but I will always have a red day or two a week as I miss meat.. but I mainly miss steak!!!

I hope so.. logically if I am eating less calories and working out it will happen. . I just would love to know what is slowing my losses down!

Indeed ;) what are the meatballs like? Is the texture like the chicken bits? I'd give them a go if they are like the burgers!! Xx

Are you eating enough? Make sure you have enough calories; you are supposed to eat back half of what you lose at gym (just do it with free and superfree)

Thanks Jess :)


I shall bear that in mind.. I am going to do a visual reminder for each sw day so that I know exactly what I should be eating... I still get confused with what free and superfree are!! Superfree is most fruit and veg and free is meat/carbs/eggs etc?

Yep, pretty much it in a nutshell!!

Superfree is basically your fruit and veg (1/3rd minimum for EE, 2/3rd for success express and advised for green/red days too).

Some veg is not superfree - starchy veg including peas, sweetcorn, parsnips, potatoes etc. but this is included in free foods on EE and green days, you have to syn for red days.

Do you have the books Nic? They're worth the investment off ebay just to get the lists of foods! xx

It's the only real place you can get an up-to-date and definitive list of all free, superfree, speed and superspeed foods! Make sure any books you buy are up to date or maybe even drop into a class to buy them sometime. They tend to renew them annually.

I do SW from home now but I used to go to class and it did really help get my head around the free foods!x
