Hi Janice,

As you know I started this morning and will now have to read up on what I can and cannot eat.

Good start, lunch was soup and tuna sandwich(no dressing[msnsmile])

Tonight is gammon steak and jacket potato. Now going to look at my syns and see what I can snack on tonight.

Good luck and the race is on

I put 11 pound on in 2008 by eating lots of Krispy Kreme and other goodies and not enough exercise. 2009 I aim to lose this extra weight. Not until we get home on Saturday though

Well I have just landed back from Florida and dread to think what the weight is now. Will really have to knukle down as Lee has gone all healthy and is looking great on it ( I also saw the photos of me in a wetsuit at OWC on Sunday and I look like a beached whale[msneek]

Sounds nice Shirley.

Hi Everyone

I am glad I found you again. I bought the slimming world magazine and have been following the new plan called extra easy as they have a 7 day meal planner.

They are not giving too much away but as I am not a member I have done some research online and found out that you can mix green and red free foods in one meal for example Slimming world chips and Gammon steak or Slimming world Chicken curry receipe with rice. The only restriction I can see is that you can now only have 2 healthy extras 1A and 1B but this is no problem as I suspect a lot of people would use a healthy extra for a jacket potataoe on a red day or some chicken on a green day but these are now free.

Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, if any of you are planning to go along to the classes.

Any way good luck to you all and here's to a healthy 2009
