    Chop up some veggies and munch on them. Carrots and cucumber are great :) Or strawberries are very low in points - I think 100g = 0.5points:)

    Has anyone majorly gone over their points and then gone on to lose?

    Wow, well done on that loss skinni_minni!!! I feel a lot better about it. I just want to lose something. I weighed myself this morning and the scales were looking good, so hopefully I'll still lose. I just don't want a gain or STS. I'll take 1/2 a pound, no problems!

    What are your reward treats?

    I'm thinking massages, manicures and pedicures, things you need or things that would help you on your SW journey such as a food processor or slow cooker etc. Hope this helps and well done on your weight loss so far!

    Where the bargains are at and anything else thats useful.

    Cauldron falafels are 2 for £3 in Tesco - they are so yummy; 1 syn each and you get about 10 in a pack :)

    strawberry picking

    Strawberries are amazing! I can easily get through a punnet by myself! Am I right in thinking they are a superspeed food? If so, then carry on munching!!! xx

    100% weekend, who's in

    Haha! Was just in the process of writing a reply! So far, so good, I'm on track. All I've eaten is a banana for breakfast and just finished my lunch - jacket potato with beans and a massive side salad. Though I've upped the fluid intake and I'm fine, I don't NEED any more food, which is nice...

    Hey Meli, I've not set myself a strict water challenge for this week as it is fishy week, but I am definitely drinking more! We'll see how it goes, hopefully coupled together, I should be on track for a reasonable loss! How about you, did you do it last week?

    100% weekend, who's in

    100% weekend sounds like a good idea for me. I was supposed to be going clubbing tomorrow, but seeing as I'm ill and stuck indoors, I should be able to have a good weekend. I need it as I've eaten so much today!!! Would love a big loss at WI on Monday! Good luck everyone!

    Unmotivated and deflated

    You may have STS now, but on Sunday, you may see a loss. I weighted myself twice yesterday - the second time I was 3lbs heavier! Weight fluctuates throughout the day and throughout the week. Don't be disheartened quite so soon, Sunday is your WI day :)

    My fishy week!

    Hi guys, I'm on day four of fishy week, I'm just wondering if you could have a quick glance at my food diary and see if I'm doing OK? I'm not the biggest fan of fish and am on a budget, so I'm keeping it very simple, any ideas, hints and tips would be highly appreciated! Thanks and I hope I...

    22 weeks and 19lbs...

    Wow, well done, you! I've give anything to have a stable weight loss like yours! Hopefully it'll come one day!! 1lb a week is very healthy and means that you are much more likely to keep it off, which is very important! I've seen too many people lose lots of weight very quickly, and then just...

    Which flavours do you add cinnamon to? This sounds lovely!

    To everyone going it alone - bathroom scales?

    Well, my little brother used them and has put on a pound - which is consistent with his eating habits and it seems pretty accurate with the muscle measurements as he is pretty active (plays a lot of football) so I'm thinking that the scales on the whole are pretty accurate, which makes me happy...

    Hello all how you doing ? and No chocolate!!!

    I miss chocolate, I use to eat and eat the stuff. I'm trying to cut down and so far it's working, but it is difficult. But as MLM said, chocolatey cereal bars are amazing - Kellogg's fibre plus bars are divine!!!
  214. Carthago delenda est

    How many.

    Personally, I try to stick to one a day, but that is because I've been having some trouble with my weight-loss and so am trying to pinpoint what works for me. You have to remember that mullerlights are about 100 calories each, so eating 8 a day won't do you any favours. Set yourself a limit...

    Hi Mrs V, just passing through again. I've noticed that you eat Asda cheese curls and am intrigued as they are quite low in syns - I'm wondering whether they are like Wotsits or Quavers? (as they are both sort of curly haha) Thanks and well done on your WI result!

    Animal bars are quite decent in size and are 5 syns. I got mine at Iceland though you may be able to get them in other supermarkets. Chocolate mini milks are only 1.5 syns, though aren't technically chocolate :)

    Hi guys, Today marks a fresh start! Perhaps by going it alone I may be able to spur myself on - I am doing this for me. I think going to group was good, but for me, it was about losing weight so I wasn't embarrassed, not about losing weight because I want to be healthier and look...

    Thanks for your suggestions. I'd love to be able to go to Boots, but my local one is not so local and quite hard to get to. I think I might go for the Hanson ones at Argos, if not, then the Salter ones from Amazon. Thanks again.

    Thanks guys! You've been ever so helpful. I've decided what I'm going to do. 1) As I'm ill, I've decided to have a little break, nothing major, hopefully if I'm feeling better by Monday then I'll be back on plan then seeing as I've not made it to the supermarket. 2) I'm going to start afresh...
  236. Carthago delenda est

    Thanks, I will stick with it, even if I pack in going to group - food optimising is awesome :) It's got me eating more fruit and veg and trying new things :)
  237. Carthago delenda est

    Argh!

    My target is actually to lose 3 stone in all, but the ticker is denoting what I want to lose by September (which was about 20lbs, but after the last 6 weeks, I no longer thought that target was realistic) I understand that it is a way of life and I will continue to food optimise as it has...
  238. Carthago delenda est

    Argh!

    Don't worry about it, it's better to be safe than sorry...I'm going to count it as 10 syns, at the time I thought it wasn't that much, but then my mind can play tricks on me when it comes to food. I've got 15 syns left for two days if I do the weekly thing, which I think I may do, especially...
  239. Carthago delenda est

    Extra Easy help

    If there is a recipe where you can't have a 1/3 superfree, then I would suggest making your recipe smaller by a 1/3, but eating maybe a fruit salad as dessert. There is no point having your normal portion, then eating superfree food on top of it, so a suggestion would be to leave 1/3 of the...
