Plenty of fresh fruit, i have a giant bowl full of fruit, i cut/dice a big pineapple and water melon and put it in the fridge to use to snack on any time i want. Get plenty of Muller light yogurts (free) and alpin light snack bars (3 syns), porridge is a must. Be careful with most breakfast cereals as they are loaded with sugar. There is oakland breaded chicken goujons in Aldi that are completely free with slimming word. Get your less than 5% fat mince meet. Best of luck on joining. Your correct, planning your meals for the week is KEY. i take a half an hour every Sunday evening to map out my meals for the week ahead and it definitely works.

Even the Smash pizza satisfies my pizza craving. The sweeter dessert type recipes usually turn out pretty badly for me though for some reason! !

I lost 10lbs in the run up to Christmas but of course I lost the run of myself at Christmas and out 6 of those back on in the space of 3 weeks! I'm back on track now though, 4lbs down over the past 3 weeks and I'd be delighted if I lost another stone. I'm very happy to take things slowly and lose half a pound or a pound a week...my attitude is that any loss at all is better than a gain. I know if I put the head down and focused properly, it would move a lot faster but there's no major rush.

I have a real sweet tooth so would love some suggestions of some easy dessert / sweet recipes to keep me from raiding the BOLD cupboards! Hoping this forum will be a good motivator and help me keep on the straight and narrow!
