Day 13 (EE day) Breakfast: Chopped pear Lidl Linessa yoghurt (2.5 syns) Lunch: One slice 800g wholemeal bread toasted Topped with half a can of beans and a fried egg Side salad of lettuce, tomato and cucumber Clementine Dinner: Mince and tatties with peas Potatoes mashed with Philly extra...

I never used to eat breakfast ever. But reckon that was my downfall as had toast with lashings of butter and cheese at 11. I have had breakfast for two weeks now and feel much better for it

Day 12 Breakfast: Grapes Lidl Linessa yoghurt (2.5 syns) 30g Jordan's muesli (HEB 1) Lunch: Left over Oven baked tomato, vegetable and prawn risotto (HEB 2 for prawns) Clementine Dinner: Wholemeal roll (7.5 syns) 30g cheese (HEA 1) Apple Pear Clementine Dinner was while driving in the car to...

This one was: Fry spring onions and red onion in fry light Add peppers and frozen peas Add cooked king prawns Add tin of chopped tomatoes Add tin (as measure) of veg stock Add 1 tin (as measure) of rice Season - I added some Jamaican jerk seasoning Cook in oven 190 for 20 mins stirring halfway...

You like your penguins!

I am hoping that losing weight might make Fybogel unnecessary too

Thank you! Was thinking the high fibre content might make it a HEB!!!

Billy Bunter in shorts made me smile! I haven't worn shorts for about 20 years.

Was entertaining clients from OH wedding business on Sat night. Spent whole time feeling self consciously fat! - I will feel happy about the way I look in front of other people (incl wedding couples who are ultra slim for their wedding day!)

Day 11 Breakfast: Chopped pear Low fat natural yoghurt with cinnamon sprinkled on top Lunch: Banana Walked up a hill to burn off yesterday's extra's - pedometer says 7000 steps (3.2 miles) and equivalent of 46 floors climbed. Expect to feel it in my legs tomorrow! Dinner: Oven baked tomato...

Day 10 Breakfast: Grapes Lidl Linessa pear yoghurt (2.5 syns) 35g Jordan's muesli (HEB 1) Lunch: One slice wholemeal toast from 800g loaf (4 syns - got carried away thinking I was on a green day!) Topped with mushrooms fried in fry light Dinner: Was eating with guests so not so syns bit out...

That's the secret though to get right back on it the next day. Always my downfall in the past to think that one bad day makes a bad week .. A bad month ... Etc! Well done

Just a thought! Do you have to syn Fybogel - am on it for IBS

Great list - feel free to go on and on, it motivates me too! So agree with that bit about bumping into people with OH - he would be so upset if he thought I thought that - as it wouldn't even enter his head - but always in mine. I didn't know there was a curve section in ASOS! But decided not...

How strange for two different sets of scales to weigh so differently. 1.5lb is still great though - lose that every week and it's over 2.5 stone in 6 months. It'll catch up next week - be pleased, you only feel disappointed compared to your own scales. It's actually a good loss

Day 9 Breakfast: Raspberries Natural yoghurt 35g Jordan's muesli (HEB 1) Snacks Numerous cups of tea with skimmed milk (HEA 1) Lunch: Homemade sweet potato, parsnip and cannellini bean soup Raspberries with natural yoghurt Snack: Handful of cherry tomatoes Dinner: Spaghetti with sweet...

Weirdly not looking for wine this weekend at all. Mind you on antibiotics for my wisdom tooth now so that might be it!

Friend I am linked to on FB is doing SW with her boyfriend, mum and dad. Each week they are all putting £5 in jar instead of paying to go to class and the person who loses the most wins the 20 quid.

Best of luck for tomorrow!

My goodness, did you eat at all?!

Ha! Good one

*mushrooms*!

Forgot I had defrosted soup so much rooms on toast will need to be another day! I had: Homemade sweet potato, parsnip and cannellini bean soup Raspberries with natural yogurt

Unfortunately it's also linked. I have had sleep apnoea in past year or so - hoping it disappears if (when!) I lose some weight!

That makes sense. Better start eating a bit more then!

I feel same. Wish I had found it years ago too!

Mmmmm that sounds good, think you might have solved my lunch plans!

- To go shopping for nice new underwear that doesn't cut into my back all the time

So glad other people are adding to this - it's great to read. I think I can identify with them all! I have never been able to wear heels (not that I have much desire to at 5ft 9" but never thought that it could be a weight thing. Be interesting to see if I can wear them WHEN ( not if!) I am...

There is definitely a trend in people breaking things into smaller goals - whether weight loss or time on plan. Good psychology!

Rotten! Hope you feel better soon and stay away from rubbish food!

The online thing says the Chosen by you asda blueberry is free

Day 8 Breakfast: Two slices WM toast from 400g loaf (HEB 1) Topped with extra light philly (Not much so part of a HEA 1) Lunch: Bowl of homemade lentil and garam masala soup Two Cornish wafers (5 syns) 30g mature cheddar (HEA 2) 1 apple (And I stopped at two Cornish wafers despite them being...

Used them today!!

I will have sexy, enviable curves instead of a muffin top that hangs over the top of jeans

My brother is like that - Christmas dinner at his this year was amazing! I tend to cook at the weekend in bulk, fill freezer tubs and then if I will be back late from work, the kids will be fed well! He has had a bit of a new year's resolution to cook more and has made a loaf of bread and a...

How lovely to be cooked for! My OH can put a pizza in the oven and bake a potato!!

Brilliant! Love your reasons. The shop mirror one is so true for me too. - I will be happy in a shop changing room with surround view mirrors! Anyone any more?

Today. This was end of my first week. 4lb off but realise that's unusually high as just first week water loss

Trying to remember what we ate at their wedding to recall their tastes in food!

And my stomach won't poke out the water when I am lying in the bath!

Sure it won't be as bad as you think. Then you can be 100% next week to make up for any slight damage. (I need someone to tell me that in return when it happens!)

Ariescat, you are doing the absolute right thing with smaller goals. Even a lb off a month is nearly a stone in a year so more brings the goal closer quicker.

Hey all the Scots! This forum is great. It's like having a room full of your own personal trainers/life coaches! Enjoy the 40th Loulou and some treats. I am having a dry January so that should be helping weight loss. We now have clients of my partner's coming on Sat night to stay. He is a...

Well done resisting the sandwich craving when hungry!

For all the years I have half heatedly dieted on and off, I always think if I have one bad day, I might as well start again next week, which becomes next month and never comes. I need to realise that one bad day means you just get back on it the next. I am a real emotional eater so helps that...

6 stone - that's amazing. Bet you feel so much better? Well done

6 for 26g normal bar or 3.5 for 14g fun size one according to app

Fantastic!!!! Huge well done. I was stunned to see I had lost 4lbs as really have not been hungry at all

Homemade lentil and garam masala soup Two Cornish wafers (5 syns) 30g mature cheddar Apple Mmmmmm Cornish wafers ... Can I stop at two?!

4lb off - extremely happy!

4lb off. Really delighted. So saying goodbye and joining the 13st thread!

4lb off! Very happy and very relieved it works!

Thanks. Looked back at my chart and realised it shows a green line for Club 10

I got into the 13st bracket which was my goal. Next goal 13st 2lb - the weight I never used to exceed before taking action and doing something about it!

4lb off - this no alcohol life must be working!

First weigh in - 4lbs off. Delighted! It works then!

What is Club 10? (Doing SW online!)

One week dry as a bone! Drinking so much tea I can't sleep at night :-/

Two slices WM toast from 400g loaf (HEB 1) Topped with extra light philly (HEA 1) 1 apple Was in a rush so a boring voice which should have had more super free with it!

Weigh in tomorrow so all will be revealed as to whether I have made a difference this week. I have been 100% all week except one meal at in laws. Only thing is I haven't been using any syns - 1 or 2 at most. Will that make a difference?

Anyone any more reasons to add for extra motivation? Adding today: - I will have thin ankles instead of bloated chunky ones!

Day 7 Weigh in tomorrow - hope this has worked, I have tried really hard. Breakfast: Shape 0% apple crumble yoghurt (0.5 syns) Slice potato frittata Lunch: Two slices WM toast from 400g loaf (HEB 1) Topped with extra light philly (HEA 1) 1 apple Snack: Two Alpen light bars (HEB 2) Several...

I suppose I will see the results tomorrow! Be interesting to see if eating more syns is a better thing to do!

That's great. Yes, my excuses have been more important than anything up to now! My head has continually told me I can start tomorrow - EVERY DAY!! Feel free to add your list here, would help me to see why other people want to lose weight as will be lots I have not thought of. Good luck!

Day 6 Breakfast: Slice of potato frittata Shape 0% strawberry yoghurt (This frittata is a great idea - made it on Sunday and then take slice out and micro for 1.5 mins. Really tasty and filling and doesn't use any HEB for breakfast) Lunch: Two slices WM toast from 400g loaf (HEB 1) Topped...

I started SW on 2nd Jan and feeling really motivated at the moment. I keep having thought about why I want to lose weight and what the differences will be for me when I do. So, before I forget them all, I thought I would start a place to jot them down as I think about them. Then I can look...

Feeling motivated this time. This forum is great - it's like having your own coaches all round you. That's great your sneaky peek on the scales is looking so positive. I weigh in on Thurs - really need a change to motivate me!

I never really did more than one week when I joined the class. My heart just wasn't in it. But head seems in a better place this time so determined to stick to it and lose weight once and for all. My kids are now 9 and 11 - my baby weight excuse is wearing thin!!

Hoping I reach it on my first WI on Thurs. have been so well behaved, I'd better lose!

I liked a SW group on FB and it seems to be incredibly *****y, bizarrely. Everyone on here seems so friendly and positive!

Made the mistake of drinking several glasses of slimline tonic today so I am not tempted to put it in gin. Sore stomach now :-(

Whoops replied too soon. Plus 1 tbls Tesco light choices balsamic dressing (0.5 syn) and 1 tbls lighter than light mayo (0.5 syn)

I had two 400g loaf WM pieces of toast topped with cottage cheese, side salad of peppers, cucumber and cherry toms with 1 tbls lighter than light mayo

Makes me think too. I start craving a glass of wine on a bad work day at 4pm! 7/7 so far and the cravings are easing!

I am impressed that you know exactly what you are having for lunch in the morning. Is a bit of a last minute decider!

Question! How do you set a target? I have just set the last weight I remember being happy at - in 1997 pre kids!!!

Not sure how I have managed to start two different good diaries!! But now posting same thing into both which is daft but don't know which one to stop! Day 5 (Green) Breakfast: Slice of potato frittata 1 Danio 0% strawberry (1 syn) Lunch: Homemade sweet potato, parsnip & cannellini bean soup...

Day 3 (Green) Breakfast: Slice of potato frittata 1 Danio 0% strawberry (1 syn) Lunch: Homemade sweet potato, parsnip & cannellini bean soup 1 slice wholemeal toast from 800g loaf (HEB 1) 30g cheddar (HEA 1) Snack: 1 apple Black coffee Dinner: Left over over baked veg risotto 30g grated...

It was dead easy: Fry chopped onion in a oven proof frying pan, add two crushed cloves garlic Add some frozen peas and some chopped green beans I peeled large sweet potato and then cooked in micro for 7/8 mins then cubed and added Add 2 cups of arborio rice 3.5 cups veg stock 1 tbls red pesto...

I have now signed up to SW online. Hoping to see the graph going downwards on Fri to motivate me!

I shouldn't have read these posts at this time of night - they are making me hungry! My lunch was homemade sweet potato, parsnip and cannellini bean soup with one slice of 800g wholemeal toast (HEB) and 30g cheddar (HEA) followed by an apple

Definitely agree. This is much more my thing than attending a class and having a group of people clap!

Hello everyone. I am doing SW from home (joined online). I tried to join a class last year but the consultant was IMO pretty rubbish. Given that it's nearly a 60 mile rout trip to class anyways and I sometimes ES work evenings, this will suit me better anyway. i joined 2nd Jan so this is the...

I have made potato frittata and a huge pot of sweet potato, parsnip and cannellini bean soup for the fridge in prep for back to work tomorrow. I am working from home and my normal lunch used to be toast with oodles of lurpak and cheese. Hoping the pre cooked healthy options will keep me on the...

Day 4 (Green) Breakfast: Frozen blueberries (defrosted night before) Shape 0% strawberry yoghurt Snack: Apple 3 cups of tea with semi skimmed milk (HEA 1) 1 Alpen light bar (1/2 HEB) Dinner: Sweet potato, pea and green bean risotto made in oven (yum!) 1tbls red pesto (between 4) - 1 syn max...

I am also biggest I have ever been :-( I used to never go past 13st 2. If I got to that, I would lose weight and pull myself back in check. Now I am a stone over that. Fingers crossed WI on Thurs changes things a bit!

Not a drop (despite two social occasions) so amazed with myself. Am on a bit of a spring clean obsession with my new found time and energy!

I did notice one skinny friend didn't seem to eat at all. I love my food too much!

Day 3 Breakfast: Chopped pear 0% Activia raspberry yogurt Cup of tea with semi skimmed milk (from HEA) Lunch: One slice wholemeal toast from 800g loaf Topped with Philadelphia extra light (rest of HEA) and cucumber Apple Banana Dinner: Baked potato Quorn chilli Salad All this was selected...

Don't cry, we are all in same boat! I was at a party at a friends tonight with two very skinny women. I felt like a balloon!

You can do it - hoping I can too! All can help each other.

I joined a class last year but didn't take to the consultant at all. Plus 60 mile round trip to a class and sometimes I work in the evening and would have to miss. So have joined online and (so far) my head seems in a much better place with it all - although only day 3!!!

You are right, I could have been MUCH worse! 1/2lb is nothing so you should be delighted in that since 6th Dec - that could be the difference from one end of the day to another just with fluid etc. the last time I recorded my weight was 28th Oct (I have been in denial!) and I was 13st 10 so I...

I only joined on 2nd Jan so won't WI till 9th so what do I put for this week?!

I survived a 'dry' visit to the inlaws! (Although I may have been slightly more intolerant!) Drank sparkling water only. Then they babysat while we popped round to friends who were guzzling booze and I stuck to lemon & ginger tea and sparkling water. Lifted the kids, got home at 1am and woke...

Thanks. Yep, someone said make smaller goals and break it all down as easier that way. I's live to lose 8lbs in Jan as also having an alcohol free detox. Sure I consume a ridiculous amount of weekly calories in wine and beer!

In Lanarkshire. What about you? I have been a piggie for years so hoping this is last time I fail at dieting! Good luck!

Yep but not a good one! Was away all day at inlaws and not back til 1am. This is how yesterday shaped up! How are you getting on? Day 2 Breakfast: Chopped banana 0% Activia Raspberry yoghurt Tea with semi skimmed milk (some of HEA) From here on in, it went pear shaped! Invited to inlaws...

Would love to lose 8lbs in Jan but not sure it's possibly after yesterday's lunch experience at the inlaws!

Day 2 Breakfast: Chopped banana 0% Activia Raspberry yoghurt Tea with semi skimmed milk (some of HEA) From here on in, it went pear shaped! Invited to inlaws for New Years dinner. Knew there was no point saying I was trying to eat healthy - everything they eat comes from the freezer or out a...

Day 1 Breakfast: Chopped banana 0% Activia Raspberry yoghurt Liquorice & mint tea Lunch: Lidl Wholemeal pitta bread (6.5 syns - damn mistake, thought it was free!) 3 slices wafer thin ham and sliced tomatoes All toasted in sandwich press Black coffee Dinner: Two small potatoes...

Hello! Just joined online today. I am 14st 2lbs and hoping to lose 3 stone by the summer. Need to get my head round it all

*inlaws*

My challenge is going to be a meal at the I laws tomorrow. I normally survive the experience with a couple of large glasses of wine!

Yikes, that was 6.5 syns for the Lidl wholemeal pitta

I made a mistake today (on day 1 of doing SW) and had a Lidl wholemeal pitta thinking it was a HEB. Any idea how many syns I need to allocate to it and whether you can use part of it as HEB and syn difference or something like that? All new to me!

Having a dry January here too. I did Dryathalon last year for Cancer Research UK and raised £400. Just doing it as a personal challenge this year though as I am sure a huge proportion of my extra calories come from wine and beer!

Under 14stone by next week!

Not been too bad - don't feel starving as would normally on day 1 of a diet!

I think I might do this food diary differently! Just thinking would be better if I put whole day menu as one entry as easy to scan back over - rather than trying to find breakfast, lunch and dinner. i think I can still have a HEA before bed based on what I have had. Anyone dare to assess...

How many syns are peanut butter? I love PB! Well done on the wine refusal - we have a house still full of wine from Christmas etc - I am trying to stop it calling out yo me!!

Can I join this please - am new to SW and someone suggested joining. i'd like to lose 8lbs in Jan thanks!

Day 1 - Dinner so since my green day had gone awry with ham at lunchtime, it has turned into an EE day. Dinner was: two smallish potatoes baked topped with tin tuna in spring water mixed with 3 tbls natural yogurt and 1tbls lighter than light mayo (0.5 syn) salad with chopped cucumber...

She offered me cheese, I said no. She offered me pesto, I said no! I don't normally eat ham but it was a better option to cheese! And I normally drink gallons of tea with milk but today had black coffee - was better than I had expected. How have you got on today?

That would be great loulou. Sorry you are having to start from scratch again - that must be very frustrating. I suppose getting weight off if first battle, keeping it off is another one. Wish there was a magic solution!

Went to visit a friend and she was making lunch. Told her I am trying to lose weight so she said she would make it a healthy lunch. It was a wholemeal pitta but now I have looked, is it only weight watchers ones that count at HEB? Think this one was from Lidl. so lunch was: wholemeal pitta...

Day 1 - Breakfast Chopped banana topped with Activia 0% raspberry yoghurt Cup of liquorice and mint tea Feeling motivated breakfast was nice but yoghurt tasted a bit artificial sweetener-like 3 stone to lose...

Bleughhhhh 14st 2. Last weight I remember being very happy at was 11st 2 so that exactly 3 stone to go. Right, better make a proper effort at this

Thanks. I like that jam jar idea too! Wish me luck - going to head for first weigh in (leggings and vest on!) but the result's not going to be pretty :-(

Day 1 for me on SW and going it alone as nearest class nearly 60 mile round trip. Would appreciate some tips on weighing/recording. Should I weigh clothes on or off?! How do I keep track of weight if on own? Is there some sort of online weigh in I can do with others as a virtual class? How...

Thanks. It'll be nice not to have to weigh or count calories but just trust the system! Good luck

Thanks Jess so true that you are only cheating yourself. I need to stop the 'I will start tomorrow' mantra that goes on in my head! Tomorrow never comes! we have friends coming for Hogmanay so decided 2nd Jan is D-day. Going to get books out tomorrow and do some planning so I am all ready...

I attended a SW class last year and didn't much like the consultant. But in actual fact, due to work patterns, I'd find it difficult to always make classes (plus it's 60 mile round trip to nearest!) ... So, from start Jan, I am thinking of going it alone. I have the book from attending once...
