Chuffed today, lost 3lb and gained my 4 stone award! Just a stone to go till I hit my target. I have no idea how I'll feel when I hit it, so if I feel I want to lose more, I'll decide then :) xx

Haven't been here for a couple of weeks as was away with the hubby for our anniversary, where I over indulged in the All Inclusive food and drinks, plenty of sangria and cocktails were had and enjoyed! This is the whole point in SW for me, we can lose weight on plan, and enjoy being off plan...

Britney, that's fantastic, well done you!! I've lost 2.5lbs this week, just need 3.5lbs to get my 4 stone off, BUT I'm away next week for 5 days all inclusive, so we shall see! It's not the food that's bothering me, it's knowing there's a free bar! :D xx

Hi everyone! Soooo pleased this morning to hit the 12's, I haven't been this size since 2006, and with another 1 stone 13.5lbs to go, I'll hit my target, hopefully before Christmas! xx

1lb off for me, which meant gaining my 3 and a half stone award! :D x

I have mine with laughing cow light or extra light triangles and tomato and cucumber, you've probably eaten it like that though x

I eat loads of eggs! I'll do omelettes, poached eggs, fried eggs with gammon and SW chips, scrambled eggs on a cooked breakfast, etc etc, can't get enough of them! :)

I'm shocked. I lost 5lb this week :eek: Just half a lb more for my 3 and a half stone! x

2 and a half lbs off for me this week, which I'm thrilled about as I've now got my 3 stone award! :-D

Hiya, hope everyone is OK! 4.5lbs off for me this week, which I'm delighted with, as I maintained last week. Got my 2 and a half stone today and now just need 4lb off to get my 3 stone off! x

A maintain this week, hey ho! Not suprising really as I went out Saturday, had about 100 syns on alcohol, then went to a Mexican restaurant! That's after having my normal bottle of wine on Friday night too, oops! Just pleased it wasn't a gain, and although I'm off out now to a 65th in Liverpool...

2 and half lb off for me this week, only 1 and a half to go till I reach 2 and a half stone off! x

4lb off for me and got my 2 stone so I'm chuffed! Especially as I went to a party on Friday night and had about 10 glasses of wine...hic! x

You are amazing and suck an inspiration to people like me on my journey to hit target, I'm so glad you have a good time! x

3lb off for me today, week 5, just 1lb away from my 2 stone, I'll just have to work harder to get it off next week! x

I haven't been hungry yet, until yesterday afternoon, I'd dropped the little man at preschool, but had to be back there within an hour and a half for an appointment, so I didn't bother going home. Because I'd not have any lunch, my stomach was growling at me like a monster lol...soon as I got...

I've been looking for it everywhere, will have a look at group next week, see if they have it x

I only ever got the error message when the batteries were on their way out. I know you've change the batteries, but perhaps try popping some more in, or testing those batteries in it now, in something else to check they're ok? x

I don't have many syns in a day at all, certainly under 5, as I save mine for a bottle of wine on a Friday night. I don't need or want them though, it's not that I'm going without and feeling hungry. I sat last night and had a kitkat, my 2nd bit of chocolate in 4 weeks, and afterwards I felt...

Good Luck with your journey :) x

Good Luck with your journey! x

My husband is doing is alongside me, but only needs to lose a stone (after already losing 1). He's on the road most of the time, but he takes a sandwich (spread with philly light, chicken or ham, with salad) a banana, and apple and a blue riband biscuit. He also takes a bottle of water or...

That sounds lovely, thanks for sharing! x

I only drink water all the time, and a bottle of wine on a Friday night which I save my syns for :o lol I might have a glass of pepsi max if I'm out, but water all the way for me. I never did hot drinks before SW anyway x

Hi all, didn't even know this little section was here! I've just hit the 14's this morning, and what a lovely sight/feeling that was! I'm hoping I'm not with you all that long....sorry lol xx

It helps if you do, it isn't mandatory though. I normally do, with one night off a week x

4lb loss for me this week, I'm over the moon!! That makes 1st10lb in 4 weeks, so I got my stone and a half this week AND my 10%! Well done to everyone else!! xx

Thank you, I have followed, so that's probably why I'm so nervous so see how I've done! I can't believe I'm losing this weight and eating 3 meals a day! My husband has been eating what I have and he's lost a stone, so he's really pleased too. We're £176 lighter in money though after buying an...

Is it just me that gets excited and nervous leading upto WI? I love seeing the numbers go down, but I'm always jittery until I step on those scales, when what will be will be! x

I'm still finding my feet, but so far everyone has been really lovely, welcoming and helpful! :) x

Best of luck to you and your journey! xx

Good Luck, stick to it and you'll do great! :) x

Poached eggs on toast, which was spread with laughing cow. I'd only had a banana and an apple all day too, busy busy day! x

I had bacon, scrambled egg, tinned toms and mushrooms. Then to follow, I had strawberries, banana, summer fruits (frozen ones form Aldi) and a strawberry Muller poured over. It was blinkin' delicious! x

I haven't got a secret hun, I'm just sticking to it properly. I don't eat all of my syns, because I don't need them. I just don't see the point in thinking "ooh 7 syns left, pass the chocolate". If I want chocolate though I'll have it and syn it. I had a curly wurly last week and felt really...

I did WW a few times years ago, but could never stick to it. I'm doing SW and I'm cooking the same foods for the rest of the family. I know what I can eat, and the rest I just look up the syns for. I don't see this as a diet, I see it as long term healthy eating, with good results for weight...

5lb off for me, which I'm chuffed with as it was * week! Did stick to it 100% though with no cheating at all x

I'm not being funny or sarcastic at all, I was genuinely confused with what you said, and with what your title and OP said?! Nobody is talking about eating the skin, replies were based on wether to cook chicken with the skin on or not, which is what you asked? I'm out of here anyway, people...

Your thread title was 'chicken skin'?

I done stir fry, with Quorn 'steak slices' in it, which didn't taste like or resemble steak at all, oh they were proper minging. It all tasted of nothing, so I just ate half and chucked the rest away :(

...when everyone is out and you can eat the punnet of strawberries to yourself, yum yum! x

Wow that's amazing, well done you! x

Hiya, I've been doing the EE plan, it works best for me and the rest of the family too :) x

I will do, think my husband will like this too. We're both chorizo lovers, and if I can eat it while on plan, well that's even better! :D

I don't work either. I get up and as soon as I come downstairs I grab a banana and some water. If I'm stick peckish at about 10ish, I'll make jam on toast. 12pm I take the little man to preschool, then get back home around 1 and have some lunch. We eat around tea around 6-6.30ish (me...

This sounds delicious, thanks for sharing! :) x

Wow, you look amazing! It's people like you that inspire me and give me the drive to crack on :) xx

Mine aren't bad unless I've been eating eggs, and tonight I had a mushroom and red onion omelette, WITH beans. I hope I don't kill my husband when he gets in from work :o

You're looking fab! Well done, keep it up! :) xx

Ahh, good luck to you! I saved a pair of jeans, which I love, but haven't worn as they haven't fitted me since 2006, here's hoping! x

No, nor me. I've been very good though, so we shall see. I've read posts where peple gain every month, then others were they always lose. I'm dreading it lol! x

Thanks jma :) x

I was told the opposite, I have no idea which one is right lol x

I started reading this book on the 3rd July 2012. On the 4th July 2012, at 3pm, I smoked my last stinking fag. I've not touched one since, so it's almost a year for me! I smoked for 20 years too, around 15 a day and it's one of the best things I've ever done, I can't half smell smoke on other...

Wow you look amazing, well done!! xx

Cheers Texty x

Hi all, I'm shellsuit, AKA, Shell, lover of all things retro :D This Wednesday will be my 3rd WI, so fingers crossed, I get any loss, as its * week, pah! Look forward to chatting to you all xx

Hi all, Can I gatecrash this thread? :D It's my 3rd WI on Wednesday, with, fingers crossed, good news, but it was * week, so here's hoping! Shell xx

I was just wondering that too, the majority of brown rice is free according to the SW site x

Hi Jac and Treax, it's a massive forum isn't it, I didn't know where to start lol! I'm loving the SW plan, my husband and 15yo daughter have been eating the same as me and have lost just over half a stone in a fortnight, so they're really pleased! I've cooked heaps and still have loads of...

What a great thread! Have had to bookmark it as I'm only 4 pages though with all that info going around in my head lol x

For the chicken to be free, you need to cook it without the skin on, as oils and fats from the skin can go through to the meat during cooking. If you're cooking it with skin on, whether you take it off or not, I'd syn it x

I think the reveal voucher was in the last mag and was valid until tomorrow. Normal price is £9.95 to register again, it's well worth it though x

That looks delicious! Do you mind me asking what syns are in those sausages please? Is it half a syn each? x

Just wanted to say a quick Hello to everyone :D I joined SW 3 weeks ago this Wednesday and have done really well upto now. On my Google travels while looking for tips and recipes/syns etc, I kept coming across this site, which I've only scratched the surface on, so thought I'd register and see...
