Similar to jaylou, I believe it's so SW can seem more 'normal' in that the NHS recommends 1/3 fruit and veg everyday. By saying a 1/3 must be in every meal, it makes sure 1/3 happens. There are members in my group who didnt eat fruit or veg prior to starting to SW and so saying a 1/3 is...

I picked a target of 135lbs because it's a nice number and it would be exactly 3.5stone loss. However I plan to reassess at 144lbs to really see if it's achievable.

Your halfway through you weightloss, most likely all your clothes fit well. My consultant recently suggested getting a piece of clothing (non stretchy) that is far too tight but that can be done up. The theory behind it is - most people start dieting because their clothes are too...

Well done. 22lbs makes such a difference to your health, how you feel and how you look. :)

So what easter egg are you having? :) Well done.

My SW book says (January edition) "Fill 1/3 of your plate with Superfree Foods and make them first choice between meals. You'll naturally limit your energy intake without counting a single calorie, and you'll be enjoying a really healthy diet, making your weight loss sucess extra easy!" Then...

How unhappy will you be if you don't fit into it for your best friend's birthday? The night of the event you find it is too big for you and you no longer can wear it, what will be the plan of action? Do you have another event in the next few months you could wear it for if you don't fit...

Teresa I love your weight loss chart. I can't wait until mine starts looking that good.

Had my first flexi syn night last night (had been 56 days 100% prior). Really great night, made reasonable choices that I really enjoyed. So how do you approach flexi synning? Everyone is different and I would love to know how we all approach it. As my flexi syn night was on weigh in day...

Funny way of looking at it: When someone drinks alcohol with friends, they are sociable, when they drink it alone, they have a problem. Replace 'drinks alcohol' with 'binges on food that isn't good for their health'. :)

That is a brilliant quote. I hate that "nothing tastes as being slim feels", so anti HAES, which I strongly believe in. Yours is just brilliant!

Hi, tomorrow will be the first time I flexi syn since I started SW 8 weeks ago. I am going to a french bistro for a friends birthday. It's an independent restaurant, and the menu changes daily (though they have "classic" french bistro meals everyday). As I can't make an actual decision until...

Sorry about your baby. My view (as a childless person) is that a healthy and happy you will be a help to your baby. If you eat healthily you will be less likely to get ill and have more energy to look after your bundle of joy. Being healthy and losing weight is not just for you but also...

AGREED!

With regards to exercise jaylou has it spot on. I read somewhere that to maintain your body weight you need to do 10,000 steps a day but to actually lose weight you need to do 15,000 steps a day. (If you were walking).

Pesty, do you wanna start a march thread and put your weightloss there?

Pretty much any team will have you! Tomorrow is the beginning of march, so when the march threads roll round just add your name to it!!!

Maybe just maybe you could be incredibly nice to her and offer to help her on her weightloss journey. Tell her you have been incredibly successful and know how hard it is for younger people in SW to feel comfortable but that you will be there all the way for her. That if she need any help, as a...

I like this, so this is my devil's advocate idea... Maybe he is in love with you and he thought your legitimate excuses were your way of saying you think he is well ugly innit. LOL. :D

I started SW on the 12th (one day before you :)), and I have eaten a pasta n sauce EVERY SINGLE DAY. I know its not the most healthy of options but as I am currently limited to a microwave for all my meals, I LOVE pasta n sauce.

about 2.15 pounds a week which works out at about 1% of my body weight per week.

I like what you have said.

Hey has2tri!!! Good luck for your weigh in. :)

I get weighed in the morning. I have my normal breakfast but I always drink 500ml water. Sometimes more but never less.

oxo cube (in water), tin of carrots and some ready cooked chicken. Bang in the microwave for 2 mins, and a ready made roast dinner. (Use less water than necessary as the carrots contain quite alot). Egg related meals? Cook some sausages ahead of time chop them up, eat with beans? Egg...

Brilliant thread. I joined SW because of my health. Nothing seriously bad with me but lots of little things that could escalate to bigger things.

Perhaps today is just a light day? During this week I have had days ranging from 700 cals to 2000 cals. (These are guestimates from looking at my food diary.) If your hungry eat, if your not hungry don't. Simples.

25.5 lbs so far this month, fingers crossed for a good weigh in this week everyone. Good luck :).

Thanks very much for everyones replies. So from what you have all said, when on a diet: -avoid moving house (evilpenguin) -if weight loss comes to a halt, stick to SW but take some time away from the scales (topos) -be flexible (mrs v) -don't restrict yourself, take advantage of flexi...

The average diet supposedly lasts just over 10 weeks. (I read it in the daily mail so I don't know how true it is). I was looking through some old posts (I like to be inspired) and I saw lots of people with half finished signatures (they put in all the weeks, but only had losses for half)...

Another person who has been doing it for five weeks 1 - -4.5lbs 2 - -2.5lbs 3 - -1lbs 4 - +1lbs 5 - -4lbs 11 pounds in 5 weeks.

Good luck Kissme!

I sincerely hope things get better and that your dad gets well soon. On a random note, the cancer staff at Canterbury hospital are pretty brill. The nurses were great and they actually get pretty decent meals.

I found the low fat supernoodles was not nearly as nice as normal noodles, I prefer 9p noodles to low fat supernoodles (not that I can eat them!).

Well done everyone on your weight losses. I lost a 1lb. :). Good luck for tonight.

This is totally off topic, but I think your food diary is so well presented. As a newbie, it is great to see all your diaries without trawling through masses of pages. I also like your weekly review. Totally unrelated to this topic but I didn't want to spoil your food diary. :).

It's free food, so my theory is, as long as the "meal" has a third superfree (ie a banana) you can eat as much as you like! Yoghurt is also really good for your digestive system. Or that's what I find.

So I have been offered to take part in an experiment into "appetite control" which basically involves taking 2 pills a day (they could be a placebo or some herb they are testing). They want to see if the herb reduces the amount you eat at a buffet. For 3 days in the 4 week period, I would...
