Hi! Thanks to a fellow Twitterer(will add her name when I find her!), I've hopefully found a support group! I joined SW 3 weeks ago. Was extremely good for the first week and lost 5lb. Totally ecstatic but the following weekend was Easter. I don't eat chocolate, but we had lots of family time which lead to Prossecco then nibbles. My following weigh in was tears and tantrums. I put on 3lb!! Well I'm back with the willpower and yesterday weighed in and found I lost 1.5lb. But disappointed but the weekend brings wine. That's my complete downfall. My dilemma is...should I change my weigh in day to Saturday morning just before wine fest, leaving me a week to stabilise or carry on weighing in on Mondays? I gave up the cigarettes on the day I started SW, so don't want to give up my wine just yet!!
 
Aww..! Firstly I want to say congratulations on 1) joining SW and 2) giving up smoking at the same time!! I can only ever do 1 or the other!! I also want to say DONT GIVE UP!! This isn't a quick fix, lose weight then do nothing once there - its about a lifestyle change and with time and patience it will just become part of your way of life! Don't ever give up all your treats either, you'll end up resenting the diet. Just have it in moderation :D

Good luck and Welcome!! - I'm back on SW for the 3rd time!! Started yesterday - I am also cutting down on smoking and have an e-cig lol!! xx
 
Thank you. I have been using an e-cigarette but rarely use it as much as I did. Can I ask why u are on your 3rd time? Did the weight not stay off? I'm lucky as my hubby cooks the recipes I choose off of SW online. He's enjoying the meals as much as me. Hopefully your 3rd time will be lucky!
 
I'm loving my e-cig at the moment and have cut down from 15/20 a day to 10 :)

Oh gosh that does sound really bad doesn't it! It works perfectly and this is the diet I would recommend! Its because life has got in the way with me and I've stopped doing it then started again, then stopped etc - I wanted to lose weight but didn't really think I had a big enough thing to motivate me - my wedding however has had a massive kick up the butt for me! lol

I've recently moved house just after Christmas and then there was my birthday and my holiday so I decided now is a good a time as ever to crack on and get my head down :D x
 
Congratulations! When's the big day? How much have u got to lose? I had my 40th birthday a few weeks ago so I want to get slimmer and enjoy being me again. I think we all need that kick to get started. This is my first time and I've found doing it online can be lonely...til I found this site!
 
Aw thank you! Its May 21st 2016 - sounds so far away but we booked it a year ago already and that's flown by! Aw happy birthday for a few weeks ago! I find the same thing as well - doing it alone can feel like there's no one there to talk things through with and to kick me up the butt when I'm struggling lol!! Are you doing the Extra Easy days? Or the older version of red and green?
I'm wanting to lose about 3 stone! I'm just fed up of being wobbly in places I shouldn't be and also with the weather getting hotter being overweigh isn't fun :( How much do you want to lose? xx
 
Thanks ?. I'm doing extra easy and hope to lose 2.5 stone. Just been reading about best times to weigh yourself and it advises Mondays to be the worst day as everyone gets a little lapse over the weekend and you may have water retention if you have been drinking. I'm totally guilty of this!! I'm moving my day to Fri instead. Lets see if it makes a difference!? How much have you been losing? X
 
I haven't had my first weigh in yet, its this Monday coming :) fingers crossed! I prefer doing it on a Monday - it means for me personally I'm better over the weekend then if I was weighing on a Friday. That would mean to me that I can be naughty over the weekend and still have 5 days to get it back off lol! How you finding it? x
 
I'm doing ok but last night I didn't sleep until 6-30 this morning. Awake again at 9.30 as had to meet my friend. Had an iced coffee and panini as was starving. Came home and slept for 4 hours so daughter just made me gnocchi with chicken in a tomato and chilli sauce. Think I'm classing today as a failure. Having a glass of wine so I sleep. Feel really rubbish. No fruit and veg and feeling in pain. Major rubbish day. Sorry I'm moaning mini! Definitely realise I need to have a day menu sorted upfront. Start again tomorrow! How are u getting on? X
 
Oh god! That's always the worse when you cant sleep :( I went for a 45 minute jog/run last night and my god are my legs feeling it today! lol but need to keep going I will get this weight off! Aw sorry you had a rubbish day - we all get days like that but the main thing is to draw a line in the sand and start again the next day. what's done is done just need to move onwards and downward (on the scales lol) I tend to organise what I'm eating week by week so I know when I go food shopping I'm grabbing things I need and will use. Its worse if I go food shopping when I'm hungry - end up buying rubbish otherwise! You on plan for the weekend or do you have anything that's could affect it? x
 
Think this weekend is a chilling one so should be easy to be good. I changed my weigh in day and got an email to say to weigh but then it wouldn't let me. Just spoke online to SW and they sorted it for me. So in 10 days I've lost 4.5lbs. Think I got away with yesterday...phew!! I'm printing off recipes with my daughter now. Chosen nice ones for the weekend. All SW ones. What's your plans for the weekend? Anything nice? X
 
Aw well done congratulations!! :) you need to update your ticker! lol

I'm working tomorrow morning :( then I'm going for a run with my fiancé and I'm going to have a lovely day of rest on Sunday! I need to work out some recipes to make as well - its always good to have containers of food ready and waiting so when I have a moment of weakness I have something good I can munch on hehe!! :D xx
 
Wow! U did amazingly! Will try and find my ticker! I'm doing ok but it's my bestie's 40th tomorrow. Meal and lots of champagne to ruin my effort but it's worth it! X
