Made it to my Club 10 tonight. :happy036:

3lbs off for me this week, Daz!

Oops - I posted this in the wrong forum, didn't I? It was meant to be in the 13-12stone bit. Sorry!!

Ooh, I'm getting quite excited now. When I got on my scales this morning, it actually dropped below 13stone! Now, I know that's not my official weigh in, which is usually about 3lbs heavier than this (in the evening and with clothes on), but it was so lovely to see a 12 at the front of the...

Well done! Great loss for you. :)

1.5 off for me this week.

No - my first WI was on Monday this week (7th July) , but I didn't post my WI for a couple of days because I was so sad. :break_diet:Sorry to confuse you.

Gutted - put on 1lb this week.

Brilliant loss! Well done.

I buy Aldi versions of Quavers and French Fries. Cheaper and lower in syns. The Cheese Curls are 3 syns and the French Fries 3.5. I also buy their version of little aero bars - "mini bubbles". They are 4 syns each and I nibble them slowly.

Finally got my 1stone award this week. Next mini goal is to get my club 10. Need to lose 3.5 to do it but I lost 4.5 last week so I'm expecting a very small loss this week.

OMG They so were!! Lost 4.5lbs this week! Only 3.5 to go to my Club 10. :)

Great result for me today - 4.5 off. Slimmer of the month and 1st award. Well done everyone else.

Hi - thanks for setting this up again. Can you put me down for 7lbs please? Thank you.

4.5 off for me this week! Phew - that took me a bit closer to my June target. And I got Slimmer of the Month. :) Thank you.

I see they are listed on SW's website again (some specifically say 70cal, some don't) so I'm assuming the ones in the shops now are the right ones again. I wonder if their sales dropped massively?

Lost 0.5 this week. Bit disappointed to be honest.

Just 0.5 off for me. Thanks

These sound nice - I think I will try this. Thanks.

I only discovered the idea of using very thin omelets as wraps last week. It's a great idea.

Can I join in please? My club 10 target is 13st 2lbs and I only have 8.5lbs to go to it. I've lost 11.5lbs so far. Thank you.

Well, I nearly always split my hexa as I don't need all that milk allowance. Today my hexa was 125ml semi-skimmed milk and 20g reduced fat cheddar. Hex b hifi salted caramel bar. It does say on the SW website you can split your healthy extras.

For me, it was turning 40 last summer and not wanting any photos being taken of me because I just looked so fat in them. I then started a healthy eating plan and lost 10lbs quite quickly but then OFSTED came and put the school where I work into Special Measures. I had never seen myself as a...

I think I prefer your second reason. ;)

1 off for me please. :) Thank you.

Juicing! To be honest, I do quite like the juice and it is brill for a quick detox, but not weeks and weeks of it. Plus the juicing and cleaning up becomes such a pain and the cost of all the fruit and veg!

Mine is to get to 1stone off - 3.5lbs to go. I'm a bit worried I may gain or maintain this week though so I had better get back on plan properly. I've been going over my syns by about 5-6 each day due to work stress. Need to focus again.

2.5 off for me today! That's a bit better.

Woo hoo! Finally out of the 14s! Lost 2.5 this week to WI at 13.11.5 and I got Slimmer of the Week to boot. It won't let me update my signature to add Slimmer of the Week badge though. Is that because I haven't got enough posts?

I bought a Breville Halo a few weeks ago and I love it. I use frylight and it works great and it is syn-free that way. I spray some on the pan and paddle and then a few more sprays on the potatoes. So far I have done wedges, mini roast new potatoes, chips and mushrooms in it. I also did a...

What a great loss! Well done!

Congrats!

Oh dear, how frustrating. I've had a terrible day at work. Been super stressed and wanting to scream all day. Had dinner at a friend's house that I think would have been about 14 syns. Also having a small glass of wine tonight but I have been below syns the last 2 days so hopefully it will stay ok.

Terrible start to the challenge for me. I maintained. Aaargh!

Waaaah! You're all leaving me. Not fair. :wave_cry:

Maintained here. Disappointed. I did have two evenings where I had little control over my food - at a BBQ and out for a curry. But I thought I had made as sensible choices as I could.

Well done - hope to see you there next week.

Gutted. I maintained. Grrrr. Onwards and upwards I guess. Well, onwards and downwards I hope!

Hi Diamond - I weigh in tomorrow. My own scales aren't really showing any loss :cry:so I'm quite nervous about it. I was totally on plan and good Tues and Wed. Went to a BBQ Thurs pm and tried damage limitation but still think it must have been 40+ syns. Was really good again on Friday but...

I've just received my order this week. So far I've only tried the plain sausages -they're ok, but not anything special. I hope the others are nicer - I've ordered garlic and herb, pork and tomato and pork and apple. The bacon is very nice and a lot less hassle not having to cut off the fat...

That's a really good way to look at it and keep it in perspective. I always think the danger is thinking "I've blown it so now I may as well just keep blowing it!" I know I have done that in the past. But this time I am just trying to think of damage limitation if I've gone off track for a day...

If he really wants the curry, why not try to make careful choices? Plain rice and chicken tikka (not masala - just the tikka)? Make your own yoghurt dip ready to go with it with Fat free yoghurt and a tsp of mint sauce mixed in. You can also chop tomato, cucumber and coriander into it if you...

I totally understand how you feel. I lost 3.5lbs my first week and felt really disappointed - I was expecting 4-5lbs to be honest. And, out of all the other new starters that week, I had lost the least. But I have kept going and have lost 8lbs in 4 weeks so it is averaging nicely at 2lbs a...

I'd like to join in please, if that's ok. I have a target for my holiday in August that means I need to try to aim for 2lbs per week and as I WI on a Monday, there are 5 in June so will go for a target of 10lbs for the month please. Thank you.

My WI this week had me at 14st 0 exactly and my first 1/2 stone award. I am really hoping I will be in the 13s this week and I would really like a loss of 2lb or more. I set myself a target of 2st in 14 weeks and I can only do that if I average 2lbs per week. So far I haven't had many weeks...

Congratulations! Great news, but the celebrating and stress isn't great for the weight loss, is it?!

After a disappointing loss of 0.5lb last week (my own fault though as I found it hard to stick to plan over a couple of days when I was prepping for a job interview, being interviewed and then celebrating getting the job!) this week I lost 2.5lbs meaning I am now at 14.1.5 so I'm hoping to be in...

Ooh, yes - quarter of a stone sounds great! Thank you.

It was going into a size 18 which prompted me to start SW. All my size 16 trousers felt so tight and the buttons were popping off. Size 18 feels much more comfortable, but I hated the fact I had to buy them. I am 5' 10" and very big chested (HH cup) so only ever buy tops which have no buttons...

It's my first WI tomorrow. I'm quite nervous about it as I usually lose really well on the first week of any diet I've done before (Weight Watchers LOADS of times, Diet Chef, Juicemaster...) but when I've been on the scales this week I can't see much of a loss. Maybe 2-3lbs - that's what I...

Oh, sorry about my dumbness! Just seen someone else has asked the same question about 10 posts below! LOL.

Just wondered if you can split your HE choice? For example, could I have half the milk allowance and half the cheese allowance and count it as HEXa? I would never want 5 LF laughing cow triangles in one day, thank you very much, so can I have 2 triangles and half the milk allowance, which is...

Thank you. I counted the syns for it.

Thanks for the welcome and I hope tonight's WIs went well - even those of you who were dreading it. Today was my 2nd day on the plan and I don't think I've ever eaten so much fruit! I have done Weight Watchers lots of times over the years so I must admit it was strange when I cooked some pasta...

Hi - I am new to SW and this group. I started today and had my first WI which was 14st 8lbs. Would love to get to know some of you and help support each other. My first target is 2 stone in 14 weeks.

Hi - I just joined SW tonight and have tried to follow the plan today based on information from friends. I've now got the books and have been having a good read through. Could anyone tell me please if wholemeal pitta bread counts as a healthy extra, please? Thank you.

Hi - I'm in a similar position to you. I think I'm around 14 st or so (haven't dared weigh myself since Christmas) and I am going to my first SW meeting tomorrow evening as I need structure and flexibility and feel that SW could be the way to go for me. Good luck.

Hello! I am new today as well. I am going to my first SW meeting tomorrow. I have 2 children as well and have struggled with my weight for the last 20 years or so. Can I ask what a "vlcd" is? Is it "very low calorie diet"? If so, how many calories are you going to look at? Good luck with...

So, like most posts on this thread, I thought I would say hello and introduce myself. I have been on various diets on and off for the last 15yrs, mostly WeightWatchers but also Atkins, Diet Chef, Rosemary Conley and juicing. Most of these have been for 2-3 months but I have always had...
