    Syns after midnight.

    I think if you work funny shifts it might be easier to work you syns over an entire week as I'm guessing some days, you'll need a lot less and some days more, so I'd keep a running total.

    Hi Moog Well done on loosing 14lbs. I've yet to weigh myself this week but am sure I haven't gained much over the christmas period as I've been quite restrained. What is your typical days eating like? I've yet to formulate any sort of real plan!!! I actually finish work on the 7th...

    Healthy Foods!

    I do think you need to be careful with dried fruit - it's easy to eat a lot compared with the same fruit in it's original form. I could maybe eat two or three fresh apricots as a snack but give me a bag of dried apricots and they could easily be eaten within a day, which I guess would be a lot...

    My diary

    Newbie needs advice

    Hi Rachelina, You don't get extra points for regular exercise - I think once you've done something for more than 2 weeks it counts as regular exercise. Bonus points are basically from anything 'extra' you do. I think it's to encourage you to move more. However, it's obviously better not to...

    Exercise while pregnant.. what do you do?

    I'm really sorry to hear that. I can understand why you would be cautious. I also had a miscarriage last year when I didn't realise I was pregnant. I had been on holiday and partied hard - again lots of reassurances from Dr but I still don't believe the alcohol had nothing to do with it.

    Alcohol and me

    Well, I successfully lost weight with weight watchers in my late teens. And I used to drink Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights - would probably kill me now!!! I just used to keep my food points low every day, I think at the time I was allowed 21 points, so I used to eat 17 points daily and...

    You are doing so well. Just stick with it. It doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as you get there. I know that doesn't really help when you are feeling like this but you will get there. You've already lost so much, so you know you can do it. Good luck with the weigh in.

    How many newbies are there then?

    Importance of Water??!!

    I think water is really important on any weight loss program as it helps to flush away toxins etc. However, I think if you are following VLCD, you are not getting water from food - as food can contain a lot of your daily requirement of liquids. Therefore, it's important to make this up to...

    Extra Easy

    I'm assuming super free foods are the foods that were free on both red and green days when following the original plans, e.g. Fruit and veg?
  66. 13katrina

    Extra Easy

    Hmm, actually sounds pretty good. I never got on with slimming world simply because I struggled with limiting either lean meat or carbs!!! So this sounds like it could be the ideal comprimise. Thanks for the information ladies.

    Can anyone explain??

    I've used slimming world in the past, I only did green days and I lost weight without any problems. I just didn't enjoy the diet, which is why I no longer follow it. But it def does work.

    RC OR WW?

    How are you all finding it?

    Hey all. Thinking of joining a class next week. How are you all finding it? I've tried WW and SW in the past. WW was good, I hated SW!!! But I'm thinking I'd like to get a little more out of my £5.50 a week, so an exercise class as well as the weigh in appeals to me.

    another newbie!!!

    I have no idea yet!!! I've already lost a stone loosing following WW. I've previously lost a lot of weight with them. But am thinking I might join a local Rosemary Conley class. What will you do when you run out of food packs?

    Hey. I'm new too. Although I won't be following lighterlife. Good luck.

    maternity clothes in big sizes

    If it's primarily nightwear - I would just buy larger pjs/nighties - that's what I did when I was pregnant. It doesn't have to be glamerous to sleep in!!! And I wouldn't want to pay out a lot and I should think maternity night wear is overpriced.
