    What would you like to wear for your Christmas night out?

    I would like to wear a LBD which will actually be little for the first time in 10 years!! Contoured as I now have curves in the correct places and killer heals. Looking foward to mine cause I am organising it but I will be the only girl.
  121. JoJosing

    What are you going to treat yourself to when you hit target?

    I am not quite at target but couldn't wait any longer so brought myself a fantastic pair of trousers. They are very fitted and very loudly patterned. I love them. People always comment on them when I wear them cause they are so unusual.

    Red Day

    Hi your mash would not be free on a red day - you could have a small baked potato or wedges witht the skins on. a little more fruit and veg would be good but I am asuming there would be lots of veg in your Beef Borginon.

    Cry cry cry

    I agree with Fern its the inner strength and confidance that we get along the way that goes with the weight loss. Ignore this small minded man. As i tell my children If you cant say something nice dont say anything at all! Perhaps advice this chap should follow.

    How many syns for a standar pancake (with frylight)

    you could try the syn free pancake in the recipies setion - it's something like separate an egg wisk the white with splendor till its fluffy then add in the yolk folding gently spray a pan with frylight and pour in. You will need to turn it carefully so it cooks on both sides. you could have...

    Syns - save or spend??

    I try to keep my syns for the evening when I can give them my full attention and enjoy them to the full! I would normaly have a curly wurly french fries or wine. I have them daily and try to stick to 8-10 during the week and sometimes up to 15 at the weekend.
  131. JoJosing

    Red, Green and all in between

    I do mostly red days with an odd green or extra easy thrown in. Red days just fit in better with having to feed my rampant carnivore hubby. I joined SW before EE came out and probably treat it with a little suspision 'cause of that.
  153. JoJosing

    Best thing about SW?

    Breakfast! I can never believe weather I am having simple things like fruit and youghurt or a full cooked breakfast that this is a so called 'diet'. The other is new clothes!! Nothing fits so i just HAVE to go shopping!!!

    good/bad news

    Have you taken your measurements? A lady at my class today was saying sometimes when she had a gain she would rush home and re measure herself and find that while she did not loose on the scales she lost inches.

    Good luck tuesday weighers

    Hi 1.5 off for me - so I am back on the right road. My C was suggesting to me that I could hit my 4 stone if I work really hard this week. It would be 2.5 off which I think I could struggle with but I will give it a go.

    What are your SW essentials?

    After doing this for some time now - I have to agree with you a paper food diary is a must for me. I plan my day backwards from what I will be having as my main meal in the evening as that helps me work out which kind of day to have. I need digital scales mostly for cheese and cereal.

    Speed foods

    Hi girls, My C suggests that fruit is ok to eat but not to eat it in preference to the actual free foods on the red/green plan and also suggests that fruit like bananas and grapes should be limited in favor of speed or super speed fruit.

    how much weight to lose

    That is a very posative way of doing things, rather than trying to get into something a tad tight (like I do!!) and finding I am not there yet trying some 'old' clothes on and notcing the difference is a better way of doing things
