Hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone else has a habit of stalling or gaining in their 2nd / 3rd week?! I lost 3lbs at my first weigh in and then on this Tues i'd gained 2lb which i'm completely flummoxed by. It's not 'totm' and i've been REALLY good so i just don't get it. I weighed myself at...

Hi all.. Well after a slight hiatus from SW I am back and raring to get losing (!), however I have a question about HEX's that I am hoping someone could help me with.. I have recently discovered the Starbuck's 'Discoveries' pre-made skinny lattes in stores such as Boots and Morrisons, and was...

Brilliant, thanks Gem! I dont know why I didnt think of nuts?!?! Fab x

Haha, god those Mugshots are awful arent they?! Thank you for your input :-)

I think if it keeps you on track that can only be a good thing!

Great, thank you :-)

There are some fantastic recipes on here!

Wow that all sounds really nice! I tried making an SW curry once and it didn't turn out very well, so think i need to find a decent recipe. The mediterranean roast veg and salmon sounds lovely, thanks for the inspiration!

Great threda :-)

I find i go through phases of this - i think it's mood related! I find if i am a bit low or work / family are a bit trying then i have less control over food as it becomes a 'comfort'. When all is well i dont seem to need that comfort!

My 'treat' is a few vodka's on a friday and / or saturday night, mainly because whenever i've dieted before it's always taken over my life and this time i really don't want it to. If i get to goal a bit slower because of it i can honestly say i'm ok with that - long gone are my days of sitting...

I totally agree with this - i think there is less and less of an argument surrounding 'fat' and a lot more evidence pointing towards sugar as the enemy. Personally i think using syns on 'natural' foods is the way to go, as opposed to processed. Not to mention how addictive sugar is too..

I stick to red days as much as possible as I find them more effective - it also helps keep any gains down if I do have any blips! The only problem I have with red days is being inspired re: food. It can get a bit monotonous if you stick to bacon, eggs and chicken! I think I may need a red day...

Are there any HEX B's I can use that are not cereal or bread based? I have a wheat intolerance and stay well clear of anything 'grainy!'. I seem to recall that Olive Oil is a HEX B, but i'm not sure if this is still the case..? Thank you

Some of these recipes are brilliant, i'll definately be tying them out!

Hello everyone Could anyone explain why canned soups that contain free ingredients are so high in syns please? I don't understand! :sigh: Also with regards fresh soups - Wagamama's is one of my favourite restaurants, and all of their food is prepared freshly on site, however the syns in their...

Thank you :-)

Hello everyone, I have a feeling I may be posting this question in the wrong place but i havent really got used to how to use this site yet! Could anyone explain why canned soups that contain free ingredients are so high in syns please? I don't understand! Wagamama's is one of my favourite...

I think you're right, deprivation has never been a friend to me in the past! Good advice, thank you.

Thanks emsuper, i'll stock up on berries today too. Fingers crossed! X

Thank you all for your wise words :-) I think i'll do as much exercise as I can fit in and will stick to veg for the rest of the week! Superspeed soup would be ideal, i'll have to do a shop. I've gone over my syns for the week but won't have any more now until the weekend to try to claw some...

Hi I wonder if anyone could give me some advice please? Ive been on sw for 3 months and have lost 11 lb (ive taken the leisurely route) but still have 1 stone to go. Today I binged for the first time since starting, and have eaten about 80 syns. I weigh in on thursdays and am desperate to avoid...

Hi Emsie, yes I love veg so that's not a problem for me! Got2doit 6lb is brilliant, well done!

Hi everyone, I'm Tara. I started my SW journey 3.5 weeks ago after gaining 2 stone since Christmas! I'm really enjoying the plan, although my weight loss is slow. As long as I get there in the end I'll be happy! Best of luck to everybody x

Ah well done, that's really inspiring :-) I cant wait to get there!

Hi everyone, I weigh daily at the moment but Im only in my 4th week, so its giving me an idea of the food types that agree with me and those that dont. At the moment i suspect fruit is hindering my losses so im cutting it out this week and will see what difference this makes on the scales. I...

Hi everyone, ive been following SW for nearly 4 weeks now and have been wondering what to do about exercise too. My losses are really slow (5lb week one and 1lb a week since) but i was thinking of holding off the exercise until i plateau - is this a good idea? Thank you!
