I have been doing red days and when I following SW correctly I do wonderfully. I actually lost 7 lbs. The problem is on the weekends I totally lose control and gain back 2-3lbs. I have really been struggling. I want to lose weight, but it seems like I keep sabotaging myself. I thought, well let...

Just start over. Try to be good for the rest of the day and eat free foods. I hate to say it, but I threw some of my kids chocolate in the garbage so I wouldn't eat it :-( Truth be told they got so much they didn't need all of it either!

*hugs* hellie! I know your disappointed. I would be too. Especially when you are doing so well on the weekends after a bit of a struggle at first. All I can say is don't give up and know that eventually you WILL see the loss.

Thanks for your help cat!!

Just wondering if something like tinned Hormel veggie chili was free on on green. Thanks!!

What helps me stay on track is to plan my meals for the entire week. I don't necessarily plan on what to have on a given day, but I know what I have to choose from for that week. Hope that helps a little. Good luck!

Sorry if this is a silly question, but what is optics?

I'm trying to keep up more or less with my syns a little better on the weekends. I've been horrible about it in the past. My question is, how many of you actually measure out your spirits? For example, tonight I'll have a few cocktails with the hubby and I want to keep track of how much I am...

I do it uncooked also. I'm assuming the chicken is already cut up. If so, then I usually clean it under running water. If the skin is still tricky, I will loosen it with my fingers then grab onto it with a dry papertowel and pull it off the rest of the way. The papertowel really helps you...

Sounds yummy :-) I'm always looking for crockpot recipes. As a matter of fact, I think I'm always printing out your recipes that you post. Thanks!

I copied that risotto recipe too! Looks so yummy!

The food diaries always have great ideas.

I'm 38 (just turned on Sunday) 197 lbs. ( I THINK that is just over 14 st???) Goal weight is 155 lbs (11 st) I fit a comfortable size 16, but can squeeze into a 14 on certain days :-) I don't really have a goal date. I'd love to feel more comfortable with myself by the summer.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but are courgettes similiar to zucchini? I see lots of recipes calling for them and we don't have them here in America. I'm hoping to replace them with the zucchini. Thanks so much for any help!

I agree. There is probably more to the story. She will still have to learn how to eat properly. I have many friends who have had the band surgery and found after losing a significant amount of weight, they actually started to gain weight back due to their bad eating habits. :(

That IS a fab idea! Thanks so much.

Congrats on your weight loss:happy096:. In April you are sure to "shock" your parents. I love this board and find so much inspiration. I'm sure you will too:D

oh that sounds yummy. I love pork chops, never thought about topping them with the mushrooms.

Just a little vent. It seems like I do so well during the week. I plan all my meals, I never eat what I shouldn't, and I save most of my syns for the weekends. So far I've been on SW and have lost 6 lbs, which I am very happy with. I just can't help but think I could be doing so much better if I...

Great job!!

Does anyone happen to know how many syns for a 5oz. glass of red wine? Or a whole bottle even? :D

yum!! i've just made a note of this one!

You ladies are wonderful! DearFatty - I'm from Miami, Fl.

I wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking for a couple weeks now. I'm totally new to SW. I live in the States and a friend of mine from Scotlandintroduced me to SW. I love it! I have been on every diet in the world and this is totally the lifestyle change I needed. Unknowingly, you...
