    WW Vs SW

    I have done both and I find that they both work well....if I'm motivated and stick to it 100%. To be honest though I prefer WW as I exercise a lot and love to earn my activity points and have the freedom to have a some wine or a little treat. To me that's what healthy eating should be like -...

    Newbie saying Hi

    Just wanted to say hi, I've not done WW before so everything is new to me. Did SW from November until April and lost a stone, I found the minimins crowd to be a huge help. Certainly not new to dieting though, I'm currently 5 stone through the 7 stone I had to lose. I struggled with SW because...

    I think it's had really mixed reviews to be honest, there are people on here who've had excellent losses on EE and there are people who can't get along with it at all. I gained 1.5 pounds doing 4 days of EE in a week, it's the only gain I've had since starting SW at the end of October - just...

    I do it whenever I have tea with the OH (about twice a week) as I can do unmeasured fish and veg with 8oz of potato wedges as a HEb (that's a decent portion of wedges). I find it works better for me than EE. It's good for a boost too as your snacks tend to be speed foods x

    Beefeater- What would you have from the menu?

    I'd have the prawn trio (soy and ginger should be low or syn free) and then any of the grill stuff would be fine with a jacket instead of chips, even the mixed grill is SW friendly with not a sausage in sight. The fish sounds gorgeous too. Might have to have a trip to beefeater looks pretty...

    HOW? HOW? HOW?

    The people who are turning up at class year after year and getting bigger are obviously not sticking to the diet because if they were and couldn't rationalise their lack of weight loss then they wouldn't still be going.

    I've eaten the majority of a chicken throughout the course of today :eek: terrible lol, think I might have to have different meats on red days as my chicken capacity is obviously enormous yet weirdly I struggle with all other meats :confused: x

    thought id post my diary again

    It'd be EE not Mix2Match hun as you had the potato and beef together, unless you weighed your beef and only had 57g cooked. Looks good for EE though, fingers crossed for your WI xx

    Body magic

    Wii fit would count, you just need to rate your effort. I'm working towards body magic at the moment but my exercise levels tend more towards the higher awards so I need to check if you have to collect them in order. As far as I know you just complete your fit log on a weekly basis (they're on...

    Help needed re eating out

    This might not be the popular option (after all the whole point of going to a celebration is to have things you enjoy) however, if you want to stay on plan then you could have the Gamberetti e Melone and request it with the marie rose sauce on the side so that you can limit the quantity or...

    SUPERSIZE VS SUPERSKINNY

    I think it's because they go out of their way to show that being underweight has various health risks whereas people are more aware of the dangers of obesity. Either that or they're scared of being fattist lol. It's a great series, I really want to get the deep abdominal massage that Anna had...

    O/T Tax Credits

    Not to be blunt but they are complete idiots. They are chasing my Mom for £3000 they say she owes, my sister is 18 and my Mom has been living in Spain for 3 years and not claiming! They cock it up and then blame the claimant and try to recoup the money - no independant company would get away...

    Bacon

    I have an aversion to all things like that (chicken skin, crackling etc) so I cut it off when it's cooked as I find it easier to remove then. But that's easy to say about something you don't like - I have to throw away the OH's leftover chips in front of him if we have a chinese as I would...

    Speed Foods - in your opinion

    Hey :) I've just had 5 scan bran for tea as a HEb as I've heard people say that it helps to speed things along (lol). I know that the official speed foods are listed in the book but I was wondering what people have found to be their personal speed foods - as in not just free foods, what do...

    bowyers sausages

    They are gorgeous! I love the quorn bramley apple but they're not so nice cold as they get weird and wrinkly - cold sausages are one of my favourite things. If I get a craving then the Bowyers ones work really well even if they do cost me syns. I haven't tried the morrisons ones yet though and...

    Do you ever stop thinking about food?

    I'm the same! If I'm online I'm either looking at clothes or recipes or I'm on here or the SW site. If I watch tv I love to watch programmes about people who need to lose weight / have lost weight, health programmes, fashion / makeover programmes or cooking programmes lol. Getting a hobby...

    Extra Easy What do you make of Extra Easy

    I did 4 days of EE last week and gained 1.5 pounds. I haven't gained or sts'd since starting with SW the beginning of November (even over Christmas and NY). I think that it works fine for you if you like red and green equally - I am not a big meat eater and ended up only having tuna on one day...

    Using Syns

    I average about 5 per day, can be as low as 2.5 or up to 8-10. It's generally the lower end and after reading a few posts on here I'm wondering if I should be ensuring I use them. I don't save mine up as I would use them for booze and then fancy a pizza / curry and boom goes the diet lol

    What size do you want to be ?

    I'm at the low end of a 16 at the moment, 14's not comfortable 16's loose. I was originally a 24 though so was chuffed when I could cut up my Evans store card. My ideal would be an 8-10 so that I could confidently pick up a 10 in any shop and know it wasn't going to be snug. I want to be a...

    LittleBottle's Yummy Day

    I definitely don't use all my syns on any day - as you can see from my diaries. Average for me is 6 syns a day, normally between 5 and 8 although can be as low as 2.5. I would never have 15 syns a day as I don't think I would lose at all. The most I've ever had was NYE and I had 5 bottles of...

    bananas

    I'm exactly the same! Thought it was just me being weird lol. I won't even peel one with marks on the outside in case the flesh is bruised and has that funny sweet smell. I like them greenish yellow x

    Have complained to BodyOptimise

    I agree that it's a cop out reply, the EE plan has obviously been thoroughly tested, roll out planned and even down to the booklets produced for class members - why should BO updates be an oversight or a second thought / something to get to later? I think you were totally right to complain x

    Whos stuck to it today? MEEEEEEEEEE!

    Me!:party0011: Walked 2 miles too :) going for my Body Magic. Had the best tea ever of mashed carrot, potato and swede with peas and quorn fillets and a hollandaise sauce for only 5 syns. Couldn't finish it (eyes bigger than belly) but it was delish x

    How much do you all spend on shopping a week???

    I agree with northernboi, my first shop of the month is normally about £35 (includes washing powder, cleaning products etc) then after that it's between £15 and £25. I only really do green days with an occasional mix2max where my evening meal includes fish or chicken - usually when cooking for...

    What did you used to eat?

    :eek: Just reread that and I would like to point out that I'm not an alcoholic lol. When I gained my weight I was 19-20 years old hence the cider drinking. I only go to the pub around twice a month so it's not like I'm sitting here with a vodka bottle calculating my syns lol. :drunk:(hic!) just...

    What did you used to eat?

    My food choices haven't changed that much on SW as I was dieting before. If anything I eat loads more than I did before, I was limiting myself to 900 cals a day and then allowing myself one night out drinking per week and on that day I wouldn't eat anything except for maybe a banana so that I...

    I just think you must be absolutely desperate to put yourself through that. I can't imagine anybody choosing it as a first option without dieting first so it's hardly the easy route. I agree though that Shelly probably didn't mean that the way it's been taken. To me surgery isn't just bypass...
