Gah, stayed the same! Let myself down this week after going a bit crazy on a work trip. Luckily my folks are staying for a few days so I'll be on plan for all but one dinner!

Well done everyone!

Hi BennyB, Food looks really good there, not sure of syns with Bisto but there are no syns for Frylight if you spray it rather than pour. When I did SW years ago extra easy was only just being introduced so most people did red and green, the ones with the biggest losses did seem to be the ones...

Muck out a horse, wouldn't know what to do with the cow!! Tea or coffee?

Yeah I find changing my days around during the week much essier as you can adapt to what's on offer around you and what you're doing much more! Also I'd get bored if I only stuck to one type, plus I love having extra healthy extras

I never used to get on with red days when I first did SW years ago but I like them a lot more now (mostly because I'm not a student anymore so can afford meat). I'm having a red day today (and aiming for syn free after a bad day yesterday), and this is what I intend to eat: Breakfast -...

No need to worry, if you follow the plan properly you'll lose! The thing I like the best about SW is that there's always something you can eat, I hated calorie counting as I felt so restricted once I'd reached my limit and then break badly if I was hungry. Now I know there's loads of stuff I can...

My consultant is great with people no matter how quickly or slowly they go, she always emphasises how far you've come rather than how far you've got to go and never makes people set targets they don't want to, although she'll throw the odd cheeky attempt in there (with a smile and a wink so you...

Swimming Scrambled or fried?

I'm pleased to have finally weighed in, felt like a long time missing two classes! Willpower was hanging by a thread for most of it! Gonna get cracking again now and do this properly, although I do have a meal out tomorrow and that's always a danger time for me :S

You're one day closer to the goal! Ticked off and ready to carry on :)

Swiss cheese TV or Film?

Cake

Cocktail

Good luck Amy! Really hope you can keep on track :) good to have a tangible goal in mind!

Thank you!

Hey, good plan to have a goal! I definitely want to look different in my family Xmas photo, and to wear much nicer outfits for Xmas parties this year! Put me down for 50lbs as I'm also part of a 50lb Xmas challenge and it's around 2lb a week too so still fairly steady :) I've not been able to...

Hi all, Would love to join this as I need a kick up the bum to get back on (and stay on) plan. My phone made a feeble attempt at copying the list so could someone add me with 50lbs to go? Had to miss the last two WIs for holiday and work so fingers crosses Weds will actually go down! :S Ellie

3lbs off :) banishing some of that holiday weight! Thanks very much for organising Kay, I know I haven't posted much as things have been hectic but I've read everything that everyone has said and it's been really useful. Will def try and add some salads into the mix more often! Good luck for...

It takes a while to get your head around but as long as the food is on plan it'll work! Especially near the beginning. You may find later on that a few tweaks are necessary but for now enjoy the portions! :)

Hi Kay, Tried to reply but you have too many messages, Miss Popular! Please put me down for 5 days, will WI tomorrow morning and post asap. Date: 13th July 2014 Cycle: GF Day of challenge: 7 Plan: 7 Water intake: 2l Carbs today: Small potato (synned) Body magic: None Syns: 9 Salad: Lettuce...

Back from holiday and all caught up! Looks like you've all done so well :) Good luck for WI tomorrow everyone, I'm looking forward to getting back to healthy eating after a few days of all inclusive and holiday choices!

This is all looking good! Definitely inspired to hit the ground running once I'm back from my holiday. Have a couple of days away with work next week but should be able to make the right choices! Good luck for the rest of the week everyone :)

Smile

Tough choice but Cosmo wins! Museum or park?

Cosy

Savoury Crisps or nuts?

Fantastic, thanks Kay!

Yay, well done!

Ibiza! (Off on Weds :P)

Hiya, I'm on holiday from Monday so would like to do this from the Monday I get back the following week. Will a challenge be running then? Thanks!

Dream

House

Seedless. Müller light: fruit flavour or chocolate sprinkles?

Do you mix up your days at all or just follow one of the plans for the whole time? Some people seem to lose best on red, others on green and so don't get on with EE that well. Perhaps you could try some Success Express days?

River

Dish

Also means I can return the dress I bought just in case it didn't fit and get a refund! Double win :D

Car

Well done! Big landmark getting into the teens :)

Just wanted to share a little something, I went to a black tie do last night and managed to wear a dress that hasn't fitted since before Christmas. Was very pleased! :)

I first did SW at uni and swapped between my home and uni groups, no issues at all with seapping about but it's important to go :)

I'd join as soon as poss, get the good habits in place before the uni year starts, you could lose loads before going back too!

Sky! Book or film?

Chips

Mister

Pepsi Lemon or lime?

Congrats! I stayed the same this week (totally deserved) weighing in early next week as I'm on my hols so hopefully both of us will be in the 18s next time :)

Pot noodle. Ketchup or mayo?

Letter

I head to a 17:30 WI straight from work so don't have time to eat, normally have a 4pm snack though!

Congratulations on your loss so far! Welcome to SW, you'll hopefully love it :) Good luck!

Welcome Adam! Best advice from me is read the books, get to know at a glance what is and isn't free. Eat your syns, they're there to be used! Check out the SW website for great recipes, especially the "fakeaway" type which make you feel like you've been naughty but are totally on plan. Good...

Thanks guys, shall keep trying!

So after reading this I dug out my epilator that my mum bought me ages ago. Was all keyed up until I turned it on, was terrifying! Managed to psych myself up and do both legs, but they feel quite stubbly still (although obviously less hairy than at the start!) anyone got any tips for this?

Well done! :)

I'm looking forward to not having to reach straight to the back to check for big sizes before looking at the clothes!

Wow congrats Tiff! Lots of certificates for you!

Very jammy week! 4lbs off so am bang on 19st, fingers crossed for the 18s next week!

Well done Tiff! I'm having to be uber good around a weekend full of eating out this week. Luckily the restaurants all have online recipes so I can check them out in advance!

I've seen quark in the milk section before! It's to give us all some more walking body magic before we find it!

It worked somehow! 1lb off this week :) only 0.5 from my half stone, so so close!

Thanks, got everything crossed! Have made a mixture of good and bad choices this week, hopefully more good!

Error so deleted

Good luck for next week! Sounds like you've got some goid support :) I'm not sure how this week has gone, am nervous for Weds WI... Also on my "star week" so think that'll mask anything I manage :S

Topple - tipped

Yay congrats!

Oooo I miss chocolate spread on toast! Would def go over the 3 syn mark for the amount of choc I'd want though!

I'm a size 20 and didn't care about my weight when I went to a Zumba class, just my severe lack of co-ordination! Personally preferred Body Combat, but don't feel self conscious despite always being the biggest at any class (although hopefully not for much longer...)

My favourite thing about overnight oats this week has been that spare hexa as I've not used milk at breakfast time :P grated cheese on all the things!

Well done tazzyb! Good prevention :) I decided against a gin and pizza evening at a friend's today because of my two meals out already planned for the week, have had a relaxing evening after a long day so am not feeling too much like I'm missing out! I'm sure I'll feel better for it tomorrow too!

Well stayed the same this week (deservedly so) on plan at home/work but not enough syn free days to balance the indulgent couple of nights! New determination for next week though, know exactly what to avoid!

Thanks :D getting a bit addicted to reading what everyone has to say!

I'm 5'9", and when I was younger I weighed a flat 12st7lbs (oh how I wish my weight had stayed unchangeable!) so I reckon that was the perfect weight for my body as I never went up or down. I went for a check up at the docs at the time and was weighed (told it was fine) and had my waist measured...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, can't read through all the previous posts but keen to start from now! I'm 19st5lbs so looking to get to that 18 stone mark and hopefully soon :) got my third WI on Wednesday, currently 1.5lbs from my half stone so that's my mini aim for the week! Looking forward to...

Amazing change! What a waistline ;)

That's amazing! Totally works too as my goal weight is the weight I was a fe years ago and my today and then figures match the models perfectly. Excellent tool! Will be good for part way through and showing the difference too :)

I first did SW when I was a student and found green days the best for money saving as you can buy rice and pasta really cheaply and in massive quantities! I'm not watching my spending to the same extent but am trying to cut back a bit, managed to make 6 decent sized (so maybe 7 small) portions...

I have always put on weight at the time of my period, normally a fluctuation of 3lbs, I think because of water retention. Was more noticeable when I was thin, but it definitely still happens! My weigh in next week will precede TOTM so will have to see how it affects my SW journey (although I...

The consultant at my group said that what can work is basically thinking of it as having 15 syns before midnight and 15 after, allowing you to have a few drinks through the night and just making your days syn free on either side. Will see how that worked for me on my night out last night!
