Hi PP!
I've also just started SW - what're you finding easy and what are you finding hard? I'm finding it hard to balance my plate, but not getting hungry, which is good!!
Are you doing the Extra Easy (orange?!) plan?

Hi, I like to have store stuff in such as rice, potatoes, couscous, mugshots, freezer veg, tinned tomatoes, baked beans, that way there is always something in for me to eat. Have a look at the diaries & see what other people eat & then you can get an idea on what we all have in.

I find that in quantity over the day, I'm probably eating more now on sw, but a lot healthier and thinking about my choices a lot more.... Here's hoping it works long term!

Hello All

I am a SW restarter, but this time I am doing it from home. I work nights, luckily its nice and quiet tonight so I can post away...

My new plan starts when I get home in the morning. I've joined one of the food diary posts, so I can keep a record of my food and (hopefully) weightloss.

Would love some buddies. Please give me a shout if you want to keep in touch. Looking forward to meeting new friends. xxxx

I will be doing extra easy.

Hi I am enjoying doing the curries and chillies and batch cook too so always gave something to hand. I like the chicken pizzas and made the half syn cake this weekend it was amazing. I do need some inspiration for breakfasts I have to make myself eat it and getting fed up with cereal and fruit! Any ideas anyone

I tend to have either fat free vanilla yoghurt (0.5 syns for 100g) or fat free fromage frais with sweetner (free) with fruit or scrambled eggs/ a fry up (can make this free with fried eggs, grilled bacon, grilled tomatoes, baked beans and sauteed potatoes) when I have more time....

All very yummy!

My second weigh in is tonight and I'm still nervous, so I get how you're feeling! Just stick to the plan and don't skip any meals etc and you'll be surprised 2 stone isn't much-if you lose 2 pounds a week, by xmas you'll be there and more!
Stay positive, stay strict, stay active and you'll be absolutely fine
