STS this week - dont know how that's recorded on here?

STS this week - not too bad considering we had a family crisis last week!

Hi can I join please? I restart WW on Monday 11th June x

Hi, I'm going to kick start my WW journey again on Monday so can I join you all please? Desperate to be under 13 stone again as I'm very close to 14 :( My problem is that I can't have 'just one' when it comes to cakes, crisps and chocolate! Plus I'm fussy so I think WW will work best. Speak soon x

Well 1 and a half ladle spoonful of soup...no idea what that is though. Might put down the 5 pp then just to be on the safe side and ask my leader.

I'm completely new to propoints, joined WW last night. Can anyone advise me on what the PP may be for a cafe bought cup of lentil soup (I did ask ingredients - lentils and carrots mostly, no cream...)

bashful, you're right about the cheering me up thing, I think that is what he is doing. we have a very small house so very easy for her to come through to get us (she can open the gate and doors now too). I did speak with my health visitor, my GP and had a support worker - I had to keep a...

I did try that bath, book, check every 15 mins thing - the result being the neighbours next door complained because she just would not stop screaming! The only thing we seem to be able to do is just let her fall asleep when she is ready, at least she's not screaming :( And tried the book/toy in...

I've thought about going it alone but I'm worried I'll 'fall away' iykwim? Sometimes I'm too busy to come on here, so I forget to do a food diary or just feel I have nothing to say... I have a wii fit, which I love, but I can't remember the last time I was on it :( its 9.45pm and the wee one...

thanks guys. Olliebug, I think you are right, he is insecure about his own weight. Plus his family are overweight so he kind of gets encouragement from them (my MIL is always 'joking' about how I dont feed him properly :mad:) My daughter HATES the buggy! I have been meaning to go swimming with...

I'm feeling so miserable tonight. Just came home from class, didn't bother staying, too embarrased. Put on this week - 3.5lbs. The most I have ever put on.:o I only rejoined SW 3 weeks ago. I originally left because I was going through a plateau and thought I was wasting my money and now I've...

I'll sign up for this! How about go for a nice family walk in the park? put money in a piggy bank and spend it on yourself at the end of the month? eg 50p for 1/2 lb lost, £1 for each pound...I do this! drink 5 cups of green tea a day (it works!) do your housework (stops you from being lazy...

I stayed the same, which I am relieved about as I've been a bit of a piggy :o

my colleagues are always bringing in cakes and biccies, even though everyone is on a diet...? and our office is surrounded by fast food places, fish & chip shops and bakeries. I *could* stay in at lunch but I want some fresh air and its hard not to give in to temptation :(

I'm in. I need to join a challenge. 5lbs for me please

I lost 2.5lbs, no idea how I managed this! First week back on SW though. Anna Claire, people I know who go out drinking at weekends whilst on SW do things such as making one drink last longer (taking less sips), having a vodka and diet coke as opposed to normal coke and one friend has one...

well I slept in and was almost late for a hair appt. So ran out door and ended up so hungry that I grabbed a roll with a lorne (square) sausage for my brekkie. How many syns would it be? It was the sausage in a white roll with no butter or sauce. :o

I'm such a terrible cook, I always left it to my DH but now thanks to the EE cookbook I can actually cook some things :D. I can cook the chicken kebabs and wedges - yummy! and also the hamburgers. Still divering over the fish, especially as DH doesn't really like fish...

thanks again. I had my ryvita this morning. TBH my hubby is right - tastes like cardboard :( Maybe I'll get used to it! Been drinking lots of green tea so far today and once the tesco man comes I'll be eating much more speed food :)

In my office, we are all doing various diets so I have picked up lots of tips. The main one has been to stare straight ahead when you hop on the scales as looking down adds weight. Step off the scales then look at what weight is registered. Remove all jewelry - earrings, watches and also...

Hi, I am going through a phase of STS and it's annoying me. So I'm going to spend this week eating as much speed/super speed food as possible (once the tesco guy comes with my order LOL), switching bread for ryvita and drinking lots of green tea! Oh and trying to squeeze in some exercise!

I love wheatabix so I shall try to have more of that. I started drinking more water and green tea today. I read that 2 ryvita is super speed food?

I did do food diaries on here but kept forgetting to update them. I do the paper ones though and my consultant said I'm not doing my 1/3 superfree, too much bread and cut down on sins! What is scan bran by the way? Thanks for all your tips, I am doing EE and I have enjoyed it as I used to find...

I just wanted a wee moan to be honest, and maybe a few hugs and some tips? I burst into tears at last night's WI because I have sts for the 3rd week in a row. I'm starting to wonder why I should bother now. Last week in particular, I tried so hard to increase my superfree food, especially...

I stayed the same this week :mad:

I know how you feel. I've started and stopped so many diets. I've been thinking a lot this week about how I've stayed the same for a few weeks and how maybe I should give up... But then I think about the weeks when I have lost the most weight and what I did right - no chocolate, no eating out...

Charlottegrace - 7lb to lose total so far - 0lb hobbithead - 7lb to lose total so far - 3.5lbs lost Meli- 8 lbs to lose by March 18th-total so far 3.5lbs lost Harry'sMom07 - 7lb to lose - total so far - 0lb Nikkiwales - 7lb to lose - total so far 0lbs Big Bear - 7lb to lose - total so far 0lbs...

we should have a lent challenge then :P I'm going to give up chocolate! and drink more water! And I'm going to give up sitting on my bum and move more!

I lost 0.5lbs this week

I'm going to be realistic, given how SLOOOOWLY my weight is coming off, and aim for 5lbs Charlottegrace - 7lb to lose total so far - 0lb hobbithead - 7lb to lose total so far - 0lbs Meli- 8 lbs to lose-total so far 0lbs Harry'sMom07 - 7lb to lose - total so far - 0lb Nikkiwales - 7lb to lose...

I put on 1lbs. I'm really p-d off. Its coming off so slowly and I'm wondering whether I should just give up :cry:

I lost 1lb and got my 1/2 stone sticker (Finally!). Its coming off very slooooowly and I'll need to try a bit harder!

I didn't go last night as I was exhausted. Lots of personal stuff going on. Feeling disappointed with myself as I'm struggling with SW due to everything else going on :( I really want to lose the weight but its been hard :(

Happe - weight to lose 10lbs Tabby - weight to lose 7lb 0 lost so far Charlottegrace weight to lose 10lb 6.4lb lost so far Nikkiwales weight to lose 9lb 2.5 lost so far Devon_Dumpling weight to lose 7lb; 2.5lbs lost so far Bruggie07 weight to lose 7lb 4lb lost so far Atchonblimp21 weight to lose...

I lost 2lbs :) one more and hopefully I can get a 1/2 stone sticker! But got a weekend away this week, bit nervous about that!

I dont get weighed til 7.30pm. Bit worried about it. I'm sure I've lost, but how much is the question. I'd love for it to be 3lbs to get me back into the 11 stone somethings...It'll probably be 1lbs though, but we'll see!

me too. Sat/Sun eves are for lazing in front of the telly with a big bar of choccy...oops? But at work, and keeping busy, means I can be really good. I'm hoping that the big long walk in the park today will have made a difference though!

poundland are selling 4 for £1 on green & blacks creamy milk chocolate bars - 28g (which are 8 syns each). I like to eat choccy in front of the telly at weekends so this will do me!

2lbs on over 4 weeks :(

7/1/10 B - toast & milk (HEs) L - roast chicken sandwich (4 syns), diet coke, tea (black) D - breaded chicken goujons (6.5 syns) with low syn mccain rustic chips (2 syns)

I haven't been able to get to class due to the snow so can I start from next week please? I gained this week according to my home scales but want to do this challenge once i get the new books etc.

cancelled cos of snow, so that's 3 weeks of no weigh in due to the sodding snow :( I'll go with what my scales at home say and that's 12 stone 2lbs :( so a gain of 3lbs over the xmas period.

I will be weighing in at 7.30pm as I'm joining a later class (hubby's hours have changed and no childcare til then). I'm not looking forward to it. My home scales say I have put on 3lbs but I'm hoping for a STS. There was no class last week.

I'd be interested in joining and exercise team too, it would help me to keep on plan.

4/1/10 B - had a lie in so none L - roast chicken sandwich using HEb, diet coke, apple, D - chicken noodle soup from EE cookbook (free) then got hungry later and had small bag of chips (17.5 syns) :( oh dear... no exercise :( as my toddler will NOT go to bed grr

3/1/10 B - 2 slices small w/m bread and glass milk (HEa and HEb) L - ate out, went waay over my syns. no tea due to big lunch and no snacks at all today. excercise - wii fit 30 mins

okay thats me back on the EE diet after a naughty xmas period and stress of my gran's illness. I *so* want to reach target so I need to get my bum in gear. 2010 is the year I turn 30 and I want to look good for then. I plan to do EE and also do exercise 3 times a week and vary my exercise -...

I've tried WW twice and SW twice (including this time) and have found that on WW I was starving and also struggled to remember all my points. SW the first time around was difficult as it was red/green back then but now its much easier for me with EE as I'm a fussy eater and EE is better suited...

I'm following EE and have been on the diet for about 8 weeks now. I've been shocked at how much I have lost at first although over xmas I kind of went off plan... I'm back on the plan as from today and we'll see how it goes. I have done so many diets in the past and the weight is coming off...

count me in too, new year new start. I've slipped the past few weeks and think I've probably put on 3lbs (no class last week, consultant on holiday). Need to set some new year resolutions too!

I'm going to be realistic and put myself down for 6lbs. It's also my daughter's birthday the day before V day so I'd like to look nice at her party. Charlottegrace weight to loose 10lb 0 lost so far Nikkiwales weight to loose 9lb 0 lost so far Devon_Dumpling weight to loose 7lb 0 lost so far...

I put on 0.5lbs this week :(

my new year's resolution is to be 2 stone lighter by my 30th birthday next November. I want to get back on track in the new year as I can feel myself slipping this week and expect to have gained at WI :(

is egg fried rice free? if eggs and rice on their own are free?

I've been neglecting this diary again, mainly cos i have so much going on and also cos I've been naughty diet wise as a result. Will try to get back on track. Been using my wii fit loads so hopefully that will help.

I actually find it much easier to lose weight when I am at work as then I can take lunch in with me, get soup at the cafe next door etc but now I've finished work til mid jan (due to family illness) I think I'm going to find it hard, especially as the wee one hates being stuck indoors, it will...

I got my mag last night (tuesday) and it does indeed have my old classmate Joanne on the front cover. She looks good.

well she isn't much better, its really a case of wait and see, so I'm going to try and get back into food optimising. I lost 1.5lbs at WI last night which is probably due to stress lol 16/12 B - mullerlight, wholemeal toast (HEb), glass skimmed milk (HEa) L - roast chicken sandwich, cuppa tea...

sorry guys for my absence. My gran is ill :( I still went to WI last night, just weighed and go'd, but lost 1.5lbs! Must be the stress...

I cant really remember what I have eaten the past few days because my gran was rushed to hospital and is still there and I'm distracted and upset. I will try to update when I have a bit more time :(

apparently a girl from one of my consultant's groups (she has 5 groups) is going to be on the front cover (cant remember if its the next mag or the one after that). her names joanne anyway. I used to go to school with her. nice girl. Think its the 3rd time my consultant has had a member on...

my consultant doesnt have any more books available :( she said there would be more in the new year so I'm assuming thats a new cook book.

wednesday 9/12 B - 2 slices w/m toast (HEb) with skimmed milk in tea throughout the day (HEa) L - lentil soup again, with diet coke D - steak with low syn chips (3 syns) snacks - will have some fruit probably

Can anyone tell me the syn value of a lorne sausage in a white bun please? :o

last night my consultant showed off a new book that had all 3 plans in it, with EE being the one that was pushed. She also said a new EE cookbook was coming out (she showed us her copy - looks good!) She said some syns were changing. She said something about pasta sauce but I missed that info so...

Hi everyone. I lost 0.5lbs last night. :rolleyes:

I lost 0.5lb last night, which I'm surprisingly pleased about seeing as I was miss piggy last week plus its my TOTM.

I don't think it will be a stumbling block as I'm actually quite fussy about what I eat. There isn't much I like so I stick to what I do. I actually struggled last time I did SW (before EE) and now EE is here, its actually much easier for me. I'm eating more, and better, than I ever did before...

with regards to the 'paper' food records that the consultant gives out, my consultant told me to leave my completed food diary with her and she would give me feedback every week, that it was her 'homework'. Well the only feedback I've had has been ticks and crosses on my food diary. No comments...

Thursday 26/11/09 B - mullerlight & apple & glass milk (HEa) L - lentil soup with brown bread roll (HEb) diet coke D - probably chicken stir fry with veggies & sharwoods noodles, diet coke syns - might have some M&S cornflake clusters 2 syns each

I lost another 2lbs :D I forgot to ask my consultant for this week's password. I don't know if I'm allowed to ask for it here?:o

I lost another 2lbs. Can't believe it as I was a total pig last week and had 2 bad days but yippee! If I lose another 2lbs next week I'll be under 12 stone so fingers crossed! ps I dont know if this is allowed but I forgot to ask my consultant the password for this week, can anyone PM me it?

I lost 2.5lbs this week :) I've been good all day but having a 'night off' as a reward (chinese) back on plan tomorrow and back to the food diary.

I thought wheat and wholemeal were pretty much the same, is that silly?

aw thanks for the encouragement. I'm really nervous about doing this properly because before joining SW, I was never a big fruit/veg eater and a total chocaholic so its going to take a while to get my head around it! I want to lose 7lbs for xmas but obviously more in the long term Right today...

cheers, I will ask for a jacket potato, dont think they offer gammon on their lunch menu though... I never eat the bun!

Hi my friend and I are having lunch in a pub tomorrow to catch up and I'm a bit worried about what to have! I fancy a burger and I've heard it's really nice and also homemade. Not sure if that's free on EE then? What about the chips (with skins on)? How many syns would they be? They have...

LOL, I'm not a 'big' eater, I tend to fill myself up on chocolate but stopping that now. I might grab some fruit when I'm out at lunchtime :)

thanks for the advice. I do plan to have more variety, I've got a tesco delivery coming tonight so that will help with meal planning :)

eeeek! No I don't have cheese but still eeeek!

had my first class last night, I was so nervous but I was the weight I expected to be and I'm following extra easy so wish me luck! First WI will be next Tuesday night :)

I get it from a bakers shop (not greggs) and they advertise it as 'homemade' so I guess it would be free then! ooooh scotch broth! I've bought the mag but haven't read it, will definitely look into that! Thanks x

Hi I've just joined SW and I'm a bit confused. I'm trying to do EE. My consultant said lentil soup was free on EE but the food diary online has it down as a HEb and I've already used my HEb for today. If it's a HEb, what am I going to have for lunch? I always have either lentil soup or a...

Hi, I love subway and was wondering how many syns this would be please if anyone can help? 6 inch wheat sub with chicken breast - no salad and no sauces. (I'm a plain eater :p) I love subway and feel sad that I maybe can't eat it anymore. can you save up syns (total newbie alert!)

sorry to gatecrash this thread :o but what about rice noodles please?

Hi, I'm kirsty, I'm 29, 5'5 and 12.6 stone. I have tried WW without success so I'm going along to a SW class tonight and feeling quite nervous! I'm worried about green days as I'm not a big veg eater and I hate quorn :jelous: I hope to make lots of friends on this site and to get lots of...

hello, do you accept new members? Can I join? I was doing WW without success and I'm joining a SW class tonight. I hope to lose 3lbs in my first week.

hi, I am going to try doing it myself at home too because meetings and online is costing me too much. I have the books and this website plus the WW website so hopefully I will manage on my own. I have also just been diagnosed with IBS so I'm not sure how that will affect WW either... Maybe...
