Hello I have been doing SW since Nov last year. Last time I did SW in 2007 I lost 3 stones and stopped going to classes and now I have 1/2 stone to go to get back to where I was. Anyway, I tend to lose about 1lb a week so if you have any suggestions for my menu to speed up losses please let...

I was wondering about this the other day and came across this article on the net - I still don't know what size I need to pick up in the shop but as somebody already said ignore the label and go by how it fits www.rodcollins.com/wordpress/what-dress-size-or-waist-size-am-i-really

Good Luck x

The question is - Did you go? and what happened?

Congratulationsx

Good luck with your journey x

Just a thought,but why not go to class, get the bad news. (it might not be as bad as you think after all it was just a weekend!!) draw a line under it and start again. Other than that I am sending you hundreds of happy/positive vibes x

Well done x

Have I read this right you only ate 1 wagon wheel at 8 syns? You haven't blown anything as long as you don't dwell on it and say sod it. Keep using your 5-8 syns a day and get on those scales draw a line and enjoy the rest of your day. Good luck x

Syns in pureed fruit some examples: Apple - 28g = 0.5 syns Banana - 28g = 1.5 syns Blueberries - 28g = 1.0 syn

Good luck with your weigh in let me know how you get on x

Most days I do use my syns, anything from 5-15 but I have been trying not to eat for the sake of eating. During the day I am not too bad but at night 5 mins after tea I start looking for goodies so I tend to use my syns for this.

Hi I am 5ft 4 weighing in at 9st 9 and have been struggling also the last 4 weigh ins have gone like this: 22/4 9st 11 +1.5 29/4 9st 8 - 3 5/5 9st 10 + 2 13/5 9st 9 - 1 I try and follow the plan 100% occassionally using too many syns but I honestly think it is harder the closer you...

Just had mushy pea curry with courgette and rice really really scrummy

Hi I have been very slowly losing weight sometimes gaining since Nov last year. I appreciate I only have a little way to go but last time when I had 3 stone to lose it seemed to come off really easily. Anyway I keep getting told it's because I don't eat enough. Should you eat 3 meals a day or...

Congratulations on your loss well done x

I would say that the lady in question probably has 3/4 stones to lose x Jaylou

Thank you for all your quick replies, it gets you down sometimes when you struggle and try really hard and other people lose loads doing the same plan. I am extremely pleased for her and her losses and to be honest even if she is taking alli or whatever I congratulate her on changing her life...

I weighed in this morning and one lady loses every week anything from 4 -8lbs. She lost 6lbs again this week and I noticed that alot of people were muttering that she can't just be doing the sw plan she must be taking something - What do you think? Has anybody else had such good consistant...

I am with you, in the last 4 weeks I have: +1lb +1.5lb -3lbs +2lbs But I have flicked the switch in my brain and since weigh in on weds (1 day early due to election) I have been really planning my meals more carefully to include more superspeed foods (melons, and mixed berries, turkey etc)...

We are going to have turkey steaks with salad and savoury rice - not exciting but need the speed foods fed up with gaining and losing the same weight over and over again

Really interesting read, thank you

Good luck well done on signing up

Congratulations

Good luck x

Enjoy the journey, you may stop along the way to look at the view, but as long as we get there in the end that's all that matters, even if it takes us longer than we expected.

Congratulations for all of you and your great losses, I too had a great result 3lbs off today only another 1.5lbs and I would have got off the Christmas excess!! Good luck to those weighing later look forward to reading all about your achievements.

Just wanted to say that I am also sorry for your loss. Well done on doing something positive 5lbs is not alot to worry about. Take good care of yourself and don't try to do too much at once. Big Hugs (((())))

Hi, thanks to your suggestions about puffed wheat I have had some really nice big breakfasts however I notice I should be eating 2 oat/scan bran with it. I haven't got any!!!! Would 1 original ryvita be ok instead?

Don't go!! Just enter the number without lbs and I think you find it will work. Good luck with your weight loss journey x

This is my 1st week of trying extra easy and I can not believe how easy and yummy it is. I had steak and chips with peppercorn sauce last night and fish pie the night before, (both were syn free!!).I don't know how it works but I can't wait to see the results next thursday.

According to the book, if you choose a ready-made sandwich with wholemeal bread, you can count the bread as healthy extra and deduct 6 syns from the value of your sandwich.

Well done x

I used strawberry and they were lovely this morning on the bus journey to work x

Nothing extra to add except it is a brilliant film, hope you enjoy it. x (I didn't plan it properly and spent the whole time watching other people eat popcorn!)

Congratulations well done 1/2 stone never to show it's face again x

Good luck going forward x

Put it all behind you. I know it is disappointing to put even a pound on but remember the 1/2 stone that you have already lost. You are not going to put all that back for having 1 day of indulging your sweet tooth. Set yourself a flexible syn amount for your lunch tomorrow, so you can enjoy it...

As far as I understand,yes I think it is ok on the EE also x

I too have had a few bad days but thanks to the support on here. I have today only eaten free food with my HX's and I will still allow a few syns (otherwise I will never stick to it). The point is we can't all be good all of the time and we will all have a few bads days, even if we have a gain...

Hi all, Had a really nice few days with my Mum and I ate things I shouldn't have and drank things I shouldn't have. I have used up my weeks syn allowance and more in just 2 days. So what do I do now? Do I still stick to 5-15 syns a day or do I eat only free foods with Healthy extras and not...

Really well done, I have my 1st wi on thursday morning I can only dream of a loss as good at that!

On a similar tack, I have my 2nd meeting on Weds and need to take in some cakes for charity which can be SW friendly or otherwise. The question is what would you do? Do I make some low syn cakes or just go for it and make synfull cakes? Any recipe ideas would be welcomed too

Hello I have searched the site but is wondering if somebody can give me the quick answer? Can I have an a green lunch and then an EE tea or does everymeal have to be EE? Thank you in advance.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday. Whatever you decide re tonight's tea - enjoy it. Tomorrow is another day.
