Thank you!! I didn't know a HE equated to about 6 syns (have looked on the website now and that definitely is the case)! One slice of the particular 800g loaf I buy is 4 syns, so therefore for my lunch today I just need to allow 2 syns!

That's interesting, I get hubby to make ours and he claims you need the egg, but I shall tell him that about cooking better without! Generally he just adds finely chopped onion and a couple of cloves of garlic, adds an egg, and makes sure he really works at the mixture to tenderise the meat -...

Thanks Sam, yes I have heard other people say that too! However, I think for me personally this is not the case, if I have a bad week, god don't I know it at the weigh in and vice versa!! I think also what I meant as well, which I didn't mention, is that I think white meat is better for you...

I found even with the extra lean beef mince though (which is a lot more expensive than normal mince!) I did not have a very good weight loss. Three days in a row I made my own burgers as it was that BH weekend with really hot days so we had BBQs and only lost a pound. The next week I switched...

Hello, I have been following SW for 5 weeks now, 3 religiously, the other 2 not so. I have managed to lose 12.5 pounds so far! I really like this diet, after struggling very much with the CD and I am determined to have an extra-fab week! I have a query and wonder of anyone can help? I am...

well yes I am back. Right, I HAVE GOT to do this!! I need to change my attitude - I CAN DO IT!! How are you getting along Sarah?

Hi Sarah - hope you are having a fab time! We are OK - off on holiday tomorrow - just to Westgate, near Margate, but if the weather perks up it will be fun! Am totally off CD - but have my returning appointment already booked for Monday 3rd Sept - the Monday after we get back! Yep...

Hi Sarah Well, no not really, bit of a nightmare as it started raining fri night and did not stop until we left!! I have totally messed up again today, I really want to start tomorrow, but am worried because I am supposed to be going out tomorrow night and it will be such a challenge...

well totally messed up today - WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME????? I just need to get day one over with then I know I can carry on!

awww bless you! We all have days like you are feeling - just try really hard to hold off eating - imagine how bad you would feel if you did (although I know that's hard!!) I am back to square one at the moment - starting again today. I am angry with myself for falling off the wagon! I'm...

Hello!! Nice to see you on our diary Amanda :-) Right, yet another DAY ONE for me again today - but this time I am GOING to do it!! I do not want another nightmare like I had at Center Parcs this past weekend - not having the confidence to go in the pool with Jacob. I have 7 weeks...

Hello! Sorry I have not been about much, still been having probs in my personal life, plus I was away for the weekend. Have completely fallen off SS and I dread to think how much I have put on now!! I am going to try and start again today! Sarah - your tattoo sounds lovely, I would...

well sadly I have gained 1lb! Not too bad I suppose considering what I have consumed these past two weeks! Here's to a much better week.....

Hi everyone, just popping in to say I lost another 3lb yay! Feeling v v v sad today so that's all I am going to say today! :wave_cry:

well unlike my sister, I have had a terrible week :cry: I ate last night and this morning feel terrible :break_diet: My mission today is to drink loads of water and I WILL be good for the next four days, to hopefully get a loss on Monday. :sigh:

thank you very muchly both of you! If truth be told, I thought it was 5, but they don't seem big enough to make a litre! I have put a cup in my bag to take home, I am going to fill 5 up and see where it gets to in my litre bottle lol! I totally agree about it being too cold. I try to go...

I am drinking the water at work out of the water cooler and on the side of the cup it says 0.2l, how many of these do I need o drink to make a litre - anyone know please? :confused: I know I am thick - but I really would like to know. Thanks!!

Hi! Been really really busy as Laura has said!! Hope it's going well for you Sarah - you can do it!! I lost another 3lbs this week (which is surprising after the amount of cheats I did) = but here's to a much, much better week!

Hello how is everyone???? Just to pop by and say another weigh in today revealed a 5lb weight loss!! Off to change my ticker now!

double ARRRRGGGGH then Amanda, I totally forgot about that!!!!! At least I have my son's birthday party this afternoon. :mad: Sort of looking forward to tomorrow, had one bad day, but hoping I might still lose a bit as I have certainly cut down from what I was eating two weeks ago!! :D

Hello! Amanda, I just logged on to it this morning and it says the site is down until at least this afternoon - arrrggghhhhh! :mad: Sarah, sorry to hear things aren't going too well, here's to a better week next week! :D

bless you - thank you so much for your support - it really helps. Everything you said makes complete sense! Having a bad day today, but I just keep downing the water. Tried making the choc truffles last night and I hated them, so am trying a different flavour with my last pack tonight...

I am sorry to say I really did not like the choc ones :confused: I am going to try another flavour tonight. I left them in the freezer for 50 mins and they were a bit stodgy is this right?

how's it going Charlie?

my truffles are now in the freezer - cannot wait!!!!:D

Hi again!! I lost 12lb this week yay!!!!!!!!

Hey you too!:) I think it's really funny Sarah you thought my name was Emma!!:D I am having a good day today, although struggling with getting water down today. Shows what a good day I am having as I sat at the table with Mick and Jacob as they ate their spag bol and there was me with my...

Am going to try these tonight with my last pack. Truffles whilst watching Casino Royale - truffles and Daniel Craig yum yum :D

Hi I am Kerry, 29, dreaded 30 in August!! Desperate to loose masses of weight before then - had first weigh in today and have lost 12lb so that's a good start! Had a little nibble on Saturday, but am totally determined not to this week! I have a little boy, Jacob, who is 5 next week. He is...

Hi Polly just read your story online and you look fab!! I have my first weigh in today, I have around 13 stone to lose - your story is a great inspiration!! I am worried about excess skin, but am I right in saying that you combated this through exercise? Well done once again, wish I had...

Laura, sorry, but we were told none of that water stuff til week 3 as well!!

well lil sis I made mum and ANGEL delight, not angle delight lol!! I never gave making them a second thought, how strange, must have been the fact I nibbled last night. I am pleased you are feeling better Sarah and well done you for not giving in!! And, Amanda, as Laura says, see you...

Hi everyone thank you so much for your support!!:) I had a really bad day yesterday, had an argument with my ever so supportive husband (NOT!) and that was it, finished my little boy's dinner and had a sandwich. :mad: Worried I have knocked myself out of ketosis now, but I am determined...

awww Sarah, bless you, have just read your last post properly big ((((hugs)))). I don't really know what to say as having not been through that myself I can only imagine what you must been feeling like. Try to be strong today - just try to think how fab it will be once you have lost all your...

Hello you two, thought I would finally make an entry on your diary! Fell right off track yesterday as I had the rest of Jacob's (my little boy) dinner and then had a sandwich. Hubbie peed me off big time so that was the cause of that. :mad: Despite the chat I had with Laura last night, I...
