Hi there, I could have written this post myself! Also lost loads of weight low carbing years ago and have always found it the easiest way to lose weight and it also makes me feel great! Well done on your 1 stone loss - I have only completed my first day but already feel the benefit :)

Hi everyone, I am back to give IF another try! I have battled sticking to anything over the past few months and I feel as if I am obsessed with food at the moment. I am hoping that I won't feel as deprived dieting only 2 days a week! I started with a down day today (hoping to do DDs on a Mon...

Hi all The only time I have been successful at losing (and keeping off) weight was when I did Atkins about 8 years ago. I have since tried to start again and failed, however, I want to give it another go as I always found it the only diet where I wasn't hungry. My only problem is that I don't...

Hi, can I join please? I am 5ft 3 so ideally want to get to 8 stone 10 but would be happy at 9 stone. I currently weight 10 stone 13 so only just made it into this group!

Hi everyone, I have wanted to attempt JUDDD for ages but I was a stay at home mum and found it too hard to fast being at home all day and with kids! I have started a part-time job so am hoping this will take my mind off of food on DDs. Today was a down day and it wasn't too bad. I've decided...

Well I am back after failing at losing weight over the last year :( I am going to try Weight Watchers again so thought I would try and keep a diary again. Hoping to start tomorrow....!

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me - I wanted to find out what the syns were for 100g of Yeo Valley's Raspberry and Passion Fruit yoghurt (I don't have access to the website yet). Nutritional info is below: PER 100g Energy 106kcal Protein 4.8g Carbohydrate 13.2g of...

So I am on Day 2 of Phase 1 and really enjoying it so far! I have tried doing it once before but ended up not following it after the end of Phase 1. I thought I would keep a food diary as I'm not sure I've got my head entirely around Phase 2! Breakfast: Parma Ham and NLY Lunch: Tuna Salad...

Thanks for the replies! I think I will try it out and see how I go.

Hi everyone, I haven't been to a meeting in ages (hoping to go back next week) but am attempting SW again from home. I have noticed on a few threads people mentioning weekly syns - is this something they allow now? ie. maximum of 105 syns per week? Thanks!

Thought I would say hi! I had a baby in September too and am still trying to lose the weight! In fact, I lost it pretty quickly after the birth but have slowly gained it back over the last few months :( I find that you lose more slowly with SW but you tend to keep it off for longer as you...

I've given up all sweet junk! So chocs, sweets, cakes and biscuits - I haven't made it easy for myself have I?! I just know what I'm like and if I had of just said choc - I would have replaced choc for something else :) Day 3 and I'm feeling really positive! This is the first time I can...

Glad to see I am not alone! Good luck to everyone! BTW - I'm not doing it for religious reasons, however, I think it's easier to give something up for a reason and at least if someone offers me something, I can say that I have given it up for Lent. It sounds better than saying I'm on a diet...

Haha - I've never given up anything for Lent before and I have become way too addicted to chocolate etc so thought it would be a good time to try live without it :)

I've decided to give up chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cake for Lent....anyone else doing the same? Thought I could do with some support :)

I normally have Hovis Wholemeal Medium sliced

I have wholemeal toast with peanut butter - comes to about 170 calories. It keeps me full until lunch!

I've confused myself too! Fridays are my normal weigh in day but I weighed in on the 1st to see what my total for Jan was!

I try and have some protein as I find that really curbs the cravings - something like a few slices of ham which is low in calories works well. This doesn't always work so I also give in everyone now and then and try and make it up with exercise! :)

We're all too eager! :)

Best of luck!

I haven't tried the mince but the chicken pieces as a stir fry are really good.

Good luck!

I struggle with snacking too but I try and work snacks into my daily allowance. Maybe try and plan them in advance so you feel like you're getting a treat but you're still in control?

Manicures, pedicures, new book, a good film, relaxing bath

All the time!

Salad!

Good luck! :)

I think I've gained 4 or 5 pounds so that's all the weight I've managed to lose :( Fresh start on Monday :)

Wow - so inspirational! Well done!

I just want to feel comfortable in normal clothes, ie. jeans and a top! I don't want to constantly hide my body under cardigans!

Good luck! I'm also trying to lose baby weight - it's especially hard being at home all the time but I'm hoping to stick to it from 1 Jan!

Really helpful advice

Can't wait to try this :)

Definitely going to try this one..

2.5 pounds off for me :)

Hi, I had a 2 pound gain but haven't been sticking to plan for the last 3 weeks. I am back on it today so hoping for a good loss before Christmas...

I think it's something to do with the changes to PP

That's great - thank you. A bit higher that I had hoped so I will save it for a day when I have more syns left! Thanks again

I really like them but they are 6.5 syns each :(

Hi, Does anyone know what the syn value is for the Tesco Light Choices Chicken & Broccoli Pie? I have one in the fridge and can't be bothered to cook dinner tonight so I am hoping it's low! Thanks!

Thank you! Does the 1 syn = 20 calories stand regardless of the fat content or is it an estimate? Always wanted an easier way to work out syns :)

Hi, Does anyone know what the syn value is for Whole Earth Peanut Butter (smooth)? I know that normal peanut butter is 4.5 syns per tablespoon but Whole Earth is sugar free so I was hoping it was slightly less! It really keeps me full all morning so I want to still be able to have it in the...

Hi, Does anyone know how many Syns are in Rapeseed Oil? It isn't in the book and I'm only joining again this week so can't look online. Many thanks!

Hi all, I am just over 5 weeks pregnant with my second and I am desperate not to gain too much weight this time. I gained a huge amount last time and felt so uncomfortable and depressed towards the end. It also took me a while to lose it afterwards. My OH and I have been trying for 8 months...

Oooh, thanks, luckily I didn't pick up the Boots bar then! Last time, the Atkins bars were a lifesaver for me as I have a huge sweet tooth so I will probably have one now and then as a treat, however, they are SO expensive so I may have to try and resist the temptation! Tried a MiM this...

Hi, I started the Atkins diet last week after failing miserably on every calorie controlled diet out there! I have lost about 3 pounds and didn't actually stick to it 100% which I am really pleased about. :D I have the old book as I have done the diet in the past but it looks as if it has...

Well, I have just polished off a multipack of mini KitKats and a big bag of Tesco's Cheese Ball crisps and am so depressed. I have decided that I need to get my binging under control. I don't know if this will help me but I thought that maybe if I am actually writing down what I eat and how I am...
