hey I just realised you've been doing SW for 3 weeks now, how have your loses been so far?

First week I lost 5.5lb. Second week I lost 3.5lb. Third week I lost 2.5lb.

My next weigh in is Saturday. I had a cheeky peek at the scales this morning and I've lost 2.5lb after 5 days of eating scan bran. I'm gonna do two regular Extra Easy days and leave the scan bran and see what the scales say on Saturday.

Have you tried the frozen meals from Iceland? I haven't but a few people have said they are a lifesaver when you need to have something to eat and are stuck for time. I plan all of my meals a few days in advance so I know exactly what I'm eating, failing that a Subway chicken salad with sweet onion dressing is only 1.5 syns!

 

[guriarani]

wow that is an amazing loss every week. so are you doing sp days with the scan bran challenge?
I haven't checked them out, do they do vegetarian meals too?
planning your meals in advance is a really good idea, it must help you stay on plan right? I will have to start doing that too.
I hardly ever eat out so I don't know much about the syn values of anything.
Do you go to a group or are you doing it from home? I'm doing it from home although I'd love to join a group for support.

I' haven't done any SP days but have been generally eating a lot of fruit and veg. While having the scan bran I've been to full to snack of fruit so feel like my fruit and veg intake has gone way down. I've got a lot to lose so will need to start exercising soon in order to keep it up. I told my self I'd start running after my 1 stone award!

There are a few vegetarian meals. I've heard good things about them. Also, try to think of things you can throw in the microwave like jacket or sweet potato with beans and a side salad, or scrambled egg (if you eat egg).

Download the app it has a food search function so you can check the syn value of everything. I also find following people on Insta G is helpful for meal ideas and support.

I go to a group and think it makes sticking to plan so much easier. Everyone at group is so supportive and full of ideas and tips. I'd definitely recommend joining a group.

You're doing great!
I've got the app but I can't check syn values because it's for members only.
I love jacket potatoes and salad, I have them 2 times a week atleast, they're so easy to make when you're hungry.
I think You're doing great without the excercise, You're going to lose even more with exercise. I really need to start working out , I can just about manage 10mins on the elliptical trainer a day and im knocked out after that.lol

I plan all of my meals a few days in advance so I know exactly what I'm eating, failing that a Subway chicken salad with sweet onion dressing is only 1.5 syns!

I live on Subway salads at the moment (It's round the corner from work) and they're pretty good value to be fair, today I've spent £3 on two packets of sandwich meats which I've used up in one salad!

My consultant set my group a challenge of eating 5 scan bran and drinking 5 glasses of water every day this week.

Scan Bran is a crisp bread packed full of fibre and is supposed to be great for weight loss.

How bad/good does it taste? I really love Ryvita's and wonder if they're similar. I could really do with a boost, as I haven't been great this week and am expecting a gain! Which leaves one more week to hit the month target!

They're not as bad as you'd think. I like them with soft cheese and ham on. They are a bit more mealy than Ryvita but so filling.
