I plan roughly a week in advance. Although sometimes if I think ooh I have not had that for a while I plan it in. I plan all three meals but not snacks, writing down which are going to be My HEXA and B's as well. It also helps with the shopping side of things as well or if you are trying to use...

I made them as well and they came out all wrong and tasted disgusting - I wonder what I did wrong?

I am on progesterone tablets for the future and luckily for me it has worked. I still have Stage 4 Endo (which is the worse) plus PCOS but these tablets have worked for me and means that the Endo is no longer growing - it has not gone away but it is not getting any bigger or spreading. I could...

Well done you! I promise you it does get easier, and then you up your weights again and then it gets harder! I am a Body Pump addict - if three times a week can be called an addict!! You should see a difference in about 4 weeks in your body, tones up some places you did not know you had!

I am another sufferer, although mine is managed fairly well now and I have very few bad days. But I know what it is like for others. I comfort eat Carbs because they are in the house and I try not to buy chocolate apart from the 1/2 Cadbury Choc Mousse. I have fallen in love with Sweet Potato...

Hi I have been doing EE for about 5 months now and have lost 2 stone 12lb - just 2lb short of my 3 stone shiny. Have a look round on the forum for loads of advice about EE - it works but then so does Red or Green days - I think providing you tackle it correctly then you will see a loss. I...

Thanks! Just needed a bit of reassuring. I am nearly halfway to what my target could/should be according to the chart in the book - I have yet to set it really.

1/2 a stone in the first week. Which is to be expected I think.

I am annoyed this week, in fact for the last few weeks. I have been losing 1lb every week for the last 5 out of 6, the other one was 2lb. For some reason, this is annoying me. :sigh::sigh: I have now lost 2 stone 12lb and have lost inches of my waist and hips, and I know this is good and I am...

Steak and wedges (only cos the SW chips never turn out right for me)

It all depends on what sort of Breakfast I plan. If it is cereal then I use the milk with that and then make my tea with it in the morning and syn the other cup of tea at work. If it is say Ryvita for breakfast, then I syn the milk for both cups of tea and have cheese as my HExA. Sounds...

I will be reading, very inspirational.

Normally stuff like ketchup, salad cream, TI dressing on seafood. Then if I have cheese as my HexA then syn my milk for tea during the day, which is not much anyway. Then for just biscuits, Ginger Oat Biscuits by Nairns, Oatybars or the Weight Watchers Double Choc Cookies. Sometimes you just...

Only echo what everyone else has said. Fab class I do it sometimes 4 times a week. I have toned up in it, and you can lose weight. It does some fat burning, especially if you get an instructor who does not give you much time to stand around and chat between each track, so it will get the heart...

It might not sound exciting now! :confused: 25 metre pool (same as where I swim) - so 40 lengths of the pool is 1KM. 64 lengths would be a mile! This is what I am currently aiming for. I think what I am saying is that it is a state of mind and a achievement - and to keep motivated think...

WOW - congratulations on a fab loss! What is your secret?

I love the oatybars from Weetabix - for 3.5 syns it just does me. I keep dreaming of the day when I can have oatybix again. I know I can but 28g is hardly anything to me!

Only really going to repeat what everyone has said. It is a fantastic exercise. 50 Lengths every day is really good, and you will become more toned and have better definition as well. If the water is a bit cooler, it just means your body has to work harder to warm itself up, and you do that by...

I am guilty of this and sneak a look on a Sunday at my Mums house before weigh in on Tuesday. I know I shouldn't but I do - My name is Jo and I am a sneaky peeker! However, I weigh myself every time I go to the loo at my mums and it varies so much as your weight does during the day, it just...

To back up what everyone says, the key thing is to make sure you rest and recover from the exercise you are doing. Plus you need to mix the exercise up a bit, do different things on different days as well. Stretching is always a must - and it is the one area, everyone fails to do enough in...

I go about 5 times a week to a gym which also has a pool. I try and vary what I do, but in the main it is Body Pump sometimes 3 times a week but definitely 2. Swim 50 lengths twice a week, personal trainer once a week, Body Balance once a week. I did all this before starting SW, but I think I...

I have lost 2 stone 2lb in 13 weeks.

Well done you - a gym bunny in the making.

Our raffle can be ingredients for one of the recipes in the magazine. Or food - some weeks it is all free food, some with syns. Or super food and then super speed food. Some weeks it is a free class for a week or a pick at something form the books they have. And some weeks we just do not have one!

Some of my portion sizes have gone down and I prefer cold meals, ie Salads, with only one cooked thing - a jacket potato or something that does not involve me standing at the stove. . I know I drink more as well, especially after being to the gym. But then in Winter, I eat loads of salad stuff...

I plan the day before I do my shopping. I have a notebook, which lives in my kitchen. I write up the days at the top of the page, and split into breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks - then just fill in as I think of what I might fancy, what is in the cupboard, anything I have not had in a while...

I get mine from Sainsburys as well, with the soft cheeses but it does move along the shelf! I do have to look really hard for it, though as it is generally hidden away. A bit like their Be Good To Yourself Bacon!

Normally it is no lower than 8 syns but some days I go for the full 15!

I would ask one of the instructors to design a program for you. Will help initially and then the more you learn about the machines, the more you can do on your own. The key things is variety - doing the same thing every time you go could mean you get bored. Combination of aerobic exercise and...
