Wow, this is a fab idea Cobweb - I will definitely sign up for this! :) I have a piggy bank somewhere in a box upstairs gathering dust (actually I think it's a "Finding Nemo" fish bank lol) so I will be on track with challenge number one tomorrow! xxx

Thanks Donnie - I got 10/10 which is a miracle as I never get 10/10 on anything! However looking at the time it took me compared to everyone else I am obviously a very slow thinker lol! xxx

Hi, I agree with those posters who suggest the mini cool bag and ice packs; I am often out and about at work all day and this keeps everything fresh till lunchtime even in a hot car. Some food I take as well as couscous and pasta are cold quorn sausages with homemade syn-free salsa dip...

Hi there :D I'm in a similar situation to you...I'm a veggie and have recently come back to SW from WW. I did SW at online last year and managed to lose over 2 1/2 stone. My weight loss was about 1-1.5lb a week which seemed so slow to me (even though I know its a healthy rate at which to...

Hi Katie I would second what most people on here are saying; it is really about finding what works best for you. I have done LOTS of diets over the years (not just WW and SW lol) and it is really about what suits me at that time in my life. Last year I lost over 2 1/2 stone on SW but the...

Thanks everyone :) I will put my stats on later so that I can let you know how I'm getting on...onwards and downwards! xx

Congratulations! What a lovely reason for a weight gain! xx

You could roast them and mix them with some couscous and chopped feta (Hex B) - just happens to be what I'm taking to work for lunch today! xx

Hi Everyone :) I joined on here last week and planned to go to my first ever SW class on Monday night...unfortunately, after a hectic weekend that didn't work out so I ended up travelling a bit further to one last night. As I had been weighing in at home when I had previously done online SW...

Oh the old "no, I meant you're tall" comments! Strugglingwrighty like you I'm 5'10'' and am sick of the number of people who tell me I "carry my weight well" because I'm tall! :mad: Many many years ago at work, a particularly petite colleague asked me where on earth I shopped for clothes...

Thanks Camille and Malaika, that's really helpful :) xx

Sorry to be cheeky and butt in, but I did SW at home last year and am back and going to go to my first class on Monday. I have lots of weight (at least 6 stone) to lose still and am not really sure of exactly what my target should be as its been so long since I was slim! Will I have to set an...

I lost 2 1/2 stone last year with SW but decided to give WW a go this year and have lost and gained the same half stone since January!! I've always done SW at home but am going to brave my first class next week as I still have at least 6 stone to go. I'm now confident enough to talk about my...

She sounds like she has some serious self esteem issues to me!! I have encountered people like this and I tend to avoid them as far as possible, however I'm going to go to my first SW class on Monday after doing SW and WW at home so I hope I don't meet anyone like that because my reason for...

As a veggie I don't eat either of them, but I'm glad I'm not the only one that was having a schoolgirl snigger at the words "winkle" and "cockle" lol! I really should know better by my age! :)

Thanks for trying anyway! Seems like 50 is the magic number as far as posting goes! :) xx

Wow, as a newbie to the forum and a SW returner I just wanted to say what fantastically inspiring photos there are on here! StacieG I'm in Somerset too! We have very similar stats as well, but I'm not brave enough to post any pics on here! xx

Thanks Bashful - I'm a total newbie to posting on forums so am still finding my way round a bit! x

Interesting how so many of us get comments from parents who should know better!:confused: Love your attitude Whoopidoo...I would've quoted your last paragraph here cos I totally agree with it but I don't know how to!

Hi Nikki I'm a newbie poster on the boards too, and am returning to SW from WW. I also did CD a few years ago and managed to gain all my weight back and more! I remember the feeling when I first started eating "real" food again....heaven! Good luck with your weightloss on SW :)

Thanks Jaylou. I can still have them as a treat then!

Hello:) Would anybody know the syn values of these please? I absolutely love them and have been guesstimating the syns at about 5 a bar so I hope I haven't been too optimistic! It is the 30g bars and the calories per bar are 100, protein 2g, carbs 17g and fat 3g. They contain raw dates, oats...

Thanks everyone for the lovely welcome!:) I know what you mean Flippinmental, changing from WW back to SW I feel like I'm eating too much! Let me know how you get on tonight - good luck and fingers crossed for another loss! My first class isn't till Monday night so I will put my official stats...

People can be so nasty and thoughtless can't they? To be honest, I think often it comes from the fact that they are very insecure about themselves in some way, and picking on someone else makes them feel better about their own issues! I have had loads of comments over the years, but actually...

Thanks for the welcome Woodsylou, Littletreasure, Isabel B and Mrs V - nice to "meet" you! Yes Littletreasure, I'm feeling a bit nervous about the first class which isn't till next Monday - one of my biggest worries is how much I'm going to weigh on the official scales as have been weighing in...

Hi everyone :) This is my first ever post on a forum anywhere (gulp!) although I have been a "lurker" on SW Minimins for some time. I'm not really a newbie, as lost 2 1/2 stone with SW last year (online subscription) and then decided to give WW a try. Unfortunately this has resulted in me...
