    can i still lose by tuesday?

    Gemma, if you want have a look at my diary's... though I do all Green Days, but most of it could be adapted to Red. You need to work out what you need for the week meal wise, make a list, stick to it and not to buy ANYTHING extra at all. Try and sit and have a calm few minutes and remember...

    can i still lose by tuesday?

    Gemma... you really need to do a proper shop so that you aren't tempted to have food when your out. Or have breakfast before you go out. Forget about today.... have a good weekend, eat all the right foods and you should hopefully be ok :)

    I am not really going for a actual size but a 'look'. I would love to be able to wear a pair of 3/4 leggings (the ones that end on your high part of your calf) and a vest top and not to look like a beached whale....lol. So if I am a 14 now I would say that is about a 10?

    Hi Eternalflame I don't have a problem with HEXa's just the b's. The problem is that my appetite is decreasing (which is brilliant!), so when I know I have a HEXb left I really don't want to eat it because that is eating for eating sake and not hunger. I sometimes eat the Aplen Lights...

    Using Health Extras?

    I've found as I've gone along on SW that obviously as your stomach shrinks so does your appetite. At the moment I am having trouble fitting in all of the HEXb's. And sometimes feel that I am having food when I am not really hungry just to use these up. Breakfast isn't a problem because I...

    Jaylou I understand the rules of the diet and how you can swap around HEXb's, to suit whatever particular day you are having. But some people out there still need a little guidance on what to eat. And I for instance have almost become a veggie since starting SW and only have Salmon as a HEXb...

    EternalFlame - I wouldn't say losses are slower doing all green. I do all green, enough though I am not veggie and my losses haven't been small or slower than anyone else's, it all depends on the individual. I believe each person should find their own days which they are comfortable with and...

    1st Week on SW -help!

    What are your portion sizes like? I also think 1 Aplen bar at breakfast isn't enough to get your metabolism going for the day. Could you add a piece of fruit or a yogurt with your breakfast. Also there isn't that much fruit and veg in your main meals? Are you measuring your milk?

    Food Costs!

    Well to start with I only do green days i.e. no meat. Which help tremendously on the shopping bill. We have fish once a week. At the moment Tesco's have Salmon 2 packs for £5, so that's two weeks worth. We plan our meals, but unless we buy some reduced veg and fruit those can change at the...

    A typical day.. can someone check for me please?

    I have copied my diary below, could someone kindly check that what I am doing is correct? The only difference is... some days on green we have pasta or rice instead of potatoes. We mainly do green, 5 days green, 2 days red. I don't always use my HEXb's for Alpin lights, normally have cereal...

    Wasted Syns??

    Glad to know that they taste yummy, I think I will save them for a really weak moment and have my salmon instead! I am on a green day. If I don't have bread or ryvita during the day, can I use my salmon as a HEXb? And maybe the other HEXb 2 x Alpin lights?

    Goals/Targets

    Last time I dieted I reached a small 14 almost so close to a 12, which I was so happy about. But after my difficult time I've gone back up to a sixteen, so I would love to make it to a 12 this time and stay there!
