    Here i go again!

    Well ladies I'm sorry but I'm giving up for the time being - my head is just not in the right place for this. I'm just attempting to eat healthily and that may stop me obsessing with food. Good luck to everyone - it looks like a little group is forming which is a good thing.

    Welcome Siobhan Well I've resisted biscuits in the office today but haven't put everything into mfp yet - I may be a bi high on the carbs - does everyone use mfp or is anyone using myfatsecret which I hear is more suited to low carbing?

    Hi Well I've had a rubbish few days and I can even feel the fat around my chin which is a sign I have gone too far! I actually only want to lose about a stone and a half so I've started again today. I gave up smoking about 2 months ago which isn't helping - I used to reach for a cigarette if I...

    Here i go again!

    Oh - I see this carried on without me. I've been hopeless - I can do one or two days and just keep caving in like eating cake (like lots of people there's always cake at work!) so I end up eating high fat and loads of carbs - recipe for disaster. I've been looking at other diets (again!) but...

    Thanks Spikey - that's great thought it might be higher! I don't have access to the syn calculator, so can't help you I'm afraid. But, where do you buy it? It's wonderful stuff, but buying on-line is so expensive! CntrlC It seems there is a shop in Manchester that sells it but no...

    Good luck - I started on Saturday and have to say no ill effects so far, although I had done a vlcd for week just prior to starting so low carb anyway. If I've felt hungry I've eaten - a lot more than you so far so be interesting to weigh in the morning :)

    Thanks siddid - it does seem doable at the moment - someone had suggested a diet called TeriAnn 123 which they said is similar and I wasted £12 on it and I was craving carbs by day 3 but the oatbran seems to prevent that craving - last day of attack tomorrow so am looking at recipes for then :)

    Just thought I'd pop back in and comment that I feel I learnt some good habits on S&S - I will continue to drink at least 2.5 ltrs of water a day and I think it has helped with portion control and to teach me that I can eat a relatively small amount of food and feel satisfied :)

    Good thanks Lindsay - yep another 100% day but I think I have it easier than some as I only plan on doing it for about 6 weeks or so - bought 5 weeks worth of packs and will probably start having some protein meals next week - will probably be able to eke out the packs without ordering again...

    how much weight do you lose in s & s

    Hi Lisalollipop I think it depends how much you have to lose in the first place. It seems by and large that the more you have to lose the higher the loss in the first week therefore some people have lost as much as 11lbs in the first week. This is my first week, never having done a VLCD before...

    Debbie's Daily Diary

    Hi wellyboot - just posted on your diary - another Sunday weigher then! Yay! I have about a stone and a half to lose so I'm hoping about 6-7 weeks will be enough. I'm going to come out of ketosis for a weekend after a month for a friends birthday - coming on here everyday has helped loads :)

    Welly's woes and wobbles

    Good luck wellyboot - have you done a VLCD before?

    Confused about carbs!

    Thanks Rebekah - I wasn't concerned, just curious - probably should have said that rather than confused ! :)
  110. D

    Confused about carbs!

    How many carbs does S&S provide per day and how many is too many before coming out of ketosis? I've read on some other forums of people sticking to below 50 a day - but looking at the packs there seems to be more and I've seen people post about having extra things which are low cal/carb. I...

    Debbie's Daily Diary

    Struggling today - probably as I have nothing to do really. Have bagged up 3 bin liners of old clothes and shoes to take to the charity shop - some because of weight loss over the last year or so and some because I never wear them - some I actually have never worn to my shame and waste of money...

    Debbie's Daily Diary

    Aww thanks Rebekah - it really makes a difference when somebody responds - yes I drink a 75ml bottle first thing in the morning - I figure that I really only need to drink another 3 throughout the day then. I've never eaten first thing in the morning so find it quite easy not to eat until about...

    Yay! You've made a start Crystal - keep coming on here - it really helps - I will follow your diary. I'm on Day 6 today and haven't had any problems so far - I can relate to your story in a way. I used to feel the same about my weight stopping me doing things when I was younger. Good luck!

    Are you having a protein meal too? You should have either 4 S&S products (but only 1 bar) or 3 and a protein meal. If you look at Frequently Asked Questions - it really helps x Try to drink the water too - I'm on Day 3 and have drunk loads of water - touch wood so far I've felt ok and not had...

    My Diary :)

    Booze has been my downfall on every diet lol but I've just told everyone I'm not drinking for at least a month - I have really good friend's birthday on 8th June if I've lost a stone by then I may come out of ketosis (when I get there - day 3 today) for a night - and a month is a big achievement...
  142. D

    Back in the ring to take another swing....

    Good luck Clarabow - I'm on day 3 am hoping for ketosis tomorrow but have read it can take up to 5 days so will be there by the weekend hopefully!

    Mummypigs diary ... from piggy to fox! lol

    Hi Mummy..... Too long a name to write lol - I'm on day 3 - not finding the shakes and bars too bad - think if they were nicer I might eat them all lol! My story similar to yours - started on SW and WW and lost a stone - 11st is my goal too - good luck!
  144. D

    Debbie's Daily Diary

    OOh work was harder than I thought it would be - usually I'm better on diets when I'm at work but that's probably because I graze on fruit - I was hungry quite a lot but drank lots of water. People could hear my stomach rumbling - funny taste in my mouth has gone so don't think I'm in ketosis...

    Debbie's Daily Diary

    Start of Day 3 I was quite hungry last night but went to bed quite early and woke up with an odd taste in my mouth but that might just be morning breath lol! Not sure I've bought the right combination of meals for taking to work as I don't want to draw attention to this because I think people...

    Journey to 12.4

    Wow - amazing journey (as they say on all the reality shows lol!) well done you - welcome to the S&S forum - I'm new here although a few will know me from the SW and WW forums! I'm just on day 3 of my first VLCD and not finding it too bad so far! :0

    To be honest a lot easier than I thought but it's early days yet - thanks for looking at my diary x. Only one cup of bouillon and 1 glass Diet Coke I actually feel stuffed now after the chilli and swede!
  148. D

    Debbie's Daily Diary

    Thanks Deezer - it's Asda Diet Coke which it say on the S&S website is ok - it was more the fact that I'm still sort of grazing although it's on 'allowable' drinks - I think I'm worried because I haven't been that hungry really so convinced I've been doing something wrong! Ps No citric acid in...
  149. D

    Debbie's Daily Diary

    Well considering that was only less than an hour ago, I started to get really hungry and just had a meal - so quite a long evening ahead now with just water! Roll on ketosis.

  150. D

    My journey to 11stone

    Hi Lindsay I am on Day2 and so far so good but motivation is always good at the beginning of any diet - think it will be easier when I'm back at work tomorrow too - good luck - we can do this! Will follow your diary as we started at the same time :)

    Yeah I would definately do lots of research and planning - I see WW have re-introduced their old Simply Filling plan and it looks like you can point some days and do SF on others. SF is pretty much like SW really so it might be the best of both worlds Trace - here's a list of their SF foods...

    To be honest MissHP a stone in 4 weeks although possible is usual only at the beginning of a diet when we all tend to lose a lot - I expect half a stone is more realistic - maybe 10lbs at the most.

    I have blown it!!!

    Yep - I was rubbish at the weekend too - lots of wine - then Dominoes to make the hangover better! Started again Monday tho - it's all you can do - although I'm hoping that it's one of those times when a binge kick starts your metabalism - fat chance :D!

    Anyone else weigh at home on a thursday- wanna post?

    Oh well done on the jacket Megs! Well as long as the aliens haven't been feeding them up - maybe they'll get back ok lol!
  214. D

    saying hi about to switch

    I completely agree - I used to save all my syns for drinks at the weekend and felt deprived during the week - I lost 1/2 stone in my first 3 weeks - but must confess to a bit of a Dominos binge outside of my weeklies this week but back on it the next day!

    Well I wonder what's happened to everyone on here - very strange that evryone seems to have gone at once! Nice to see MissHP, Megs and people keeping it going! Welcome to the newbies too! I've had a rubbish weeken which included a lot of wine, popcorn (not in the same place!) and a Dominos...

    debt..

    It looks like the CAB are dealing with her debts for her instead of Penningtons who are just in it for the money - the CAB do take on the case or help with letters - I used to work for them some years ago as a money advice worker. They usually factor in for you to have some sort of social life...

    Warburtons Square wraps

    Not sure about more filling but once I start on bread sometimes I just can't stop - I love it but I find I don't want more than one of these
  223. D

    saying hi about to switch

    Hi Serena There's a few on here that have swapped from SW to WW - I love the new PP - never hungry like on the old plan - good luck :)
  224. D

    Warburtons Square wraps

    Aww - do you ever shop online? Could maybe get them then - they are worth it!
  225. D

    Where the bargains are... all WW friendly

    The frozen ones are around 11 points at the most - some are fewer - handy in an emergency!
  226. D

    Warburtons Square wraps

    Another one - roast some veg with fry light - I have peppers onions and cougetttes let them cool and spread the wrap with Philly light - 30gm 1.5 points or 60gm if you're feeling indulgent!
  227. D

    Warburtons Square wraps

    I love these and have stopped eating bread for most of the time and have these instead. I make pizza - spread with passata, add onions and peppers chopped quite small and fresh basil leaves torn up, top with reduced fat cheddar - 7PP and well worth it! Have them with 40gm Feta crumbled with...

    4PP for 5 Scan Bran btw - if I have 4 a day I am regular as clockwork - have them with Philly and tomatoes or with a squishy banana on them - I'm not near a H&B so bought some online before I started WW :)
  229. D

    Anyone else weigh at home on a thursday- wanna post?

    Scan Bran is a Scandinavian Crispbread - tastes like cardboard lol but keeps you regular! Get them from Holland and Barrat - don't know if you have them in Eire?

    Aww hi Trace! and everyone else! I'm afraid I've been guilty of hanging out on the WW threads a bit :o They don't move as quickly as on here but am looking for hints tips recipes etc - have not had a great week this week but not gone massively over points! I would so love to get to my stone...

    sw or ww

    Hi A lot of people ask this question and if it's on the SW board everyone is likely to suggest SW. You might want to ask the same question on the WW board to hear the other side. It's really down to personal choice, eating habits etc I've just switched from SW to WW as I found SW too...

    I've lost 11lb in total but my last few weeks on SW I was sts, losing, gaining sts for weeks so made the leap - lost 3lb the first week and 1lb the 2nd week of ww - which was pretty remarkable cos I went over points a few days. 100% for me this week - I'm on 29 dailies and drank about 25 of my...

    Thanks Carly I'm loving it - I really thought I'd be hungry having done it before but PP is so much better - and as most others who switch say, I need the portion control lol! I'm just really enjoying the freedom and variety compared to SW - I can have a Freddo and include it in my daily PP...

    considering moving to weight watchers

    I have recently switched from SW to WW and am finding the new PP system is really helping with portion control - I really thought I'd feel hungry but that's not the case. In some ways there are some similarities to EE in that the bulk of what I am eating is fruit and veg although I don't have to...
  238. D

    Contemplating moving from SW to WW

    I like to sometimes have convenience food and sometimes cook from scratch and find WW has much more variety for me and I choose much more wisely than I did on SW :)
  239. D

    Anyone else weigh at home on a thursday- wanna post?

    Will come back and post properly over the weekend but 1lb loss for me which is good considering the extra points I've chomped through this week!!

    Hi Have a look here at some of the replies :) http://www.minimins.com/weight-watchers/217269-ww-sw.html

    ww or sw?

    I agree with what everyone has said although I'm sure you will get convincing arguments on the SW thread! :) I've just switched from SW to PP and having tried WW in the past and been hungry I have to say I'm finding this plan pretty easy and I'm rarely hungry - I eat more fruit and veg than I...
