I'm the same as you brought around a months supply before Xmas and just couldn't stick to it :( I've decided that I'm going to give it another go when I'm back from my holiday in two weeks time x
Does anybody know how to do success express please? I have gained 2.5 lbs this week and would like to get back on trac by following this. I'm sure I've got a leaflet on it at home in my pack but I'm not at home as I'm staying with my mum who's had an operation. Thanks in advance x
I got through day one and still have another shake to go yet, I'm doing working solution til I'm back in ketosis so had half gammon steak and green salad for dinner. Well done for not having a jam tart and the vanilla is my face lol x
It's not your fault she can't say no lol, go hold your head up high and be proud of what you achieved. She may have took a flexi syn day to accommodate for the carnival so I shouldn't worry only your loss should be your concern xx
It's doable I've swapped over from sw several times but always end up coming back to it. My losses are slow I've lost 30lbs in a year but that's my fault not the diet x
You can only have old potatoes if you leave the skin on same as the new potatoes as its the fibre in the skin that gives you your healthy extra. So you could have it as a jacket or wedges or any other way you fancy as long as you eat the skin x
Hello I'm only on day two today and it's getting better :) I only have the shakes as I can't stand the soups or bars.
Good luck to all.
by the way I thought you had to consume the products within twenty minutes of making them as the minerals and vitamins deplete x
Hi thanks. I'm on day two now and have had a small protein based meal as I felt so light headed, so really I've done working solution today. I'm hoping tomorrow is better and I can switch to just the three shakes again x
Hello just thought I'd introduce myself as from Tuesday or Wednesday I will be doing ex ante again for a while to give my loss a boost.
i am currently doing WW but have stayed the same weight for a few months now and feel I need a change as I'm losing the will to live lol.
ive lost around 25lbs...
I love spring it gets warmer, I can walk my dogs after work when its still light and I can start to get new (smaller hopefully) clothes for summer. Everything just seems less effort and the world is a brighter place with flowers and sunshine......I'll stop now cos I'm gushing lol ;)
I'm another SW traitor I lost a stone with SW but then I was firmly stuck and my weight has not moved since the week before xmas :/
I joined ww last night for two reasons. One to kick start my weight loss and two because its a more convenient time and place to go to meetings.
I've done WW...

I'm the same too I love sw and have lost over a stone on it but I'm stuck and I think its time for some portion control. I've also done ww previously after the birth of my oldest and lost 38lbs so I know both work. You just need to do what's right for you at the time :)
0.5lb off for me this week :/

I'm really excited about the mint mullers but really sad too as it means they will be discontinuing the coconut which is my all time fave :/
As for cadburys philly all I can think is Mmmmmmm choc cheesecake :)
I don't go very often at all infact I went to my GP about it and she gave me lactulose which doesn't make a blind bit of difference, she also told me to drink at least 2 litres of water a day. I still only go twice a week and guess I always will :/
Hello Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding and well done on starting SW. I love weddings I can't wait to renew my wedding vows, we said we'd do it abroad after 10 years of marriage so only another 3 to wait lol :)
I sent a raunchy text to my husband once when we first got together and sent it to his dad instead lol. I wasn't impressed but he found it hilarious :/
Finally 4lbs off for me :)

I think you really need to give sw at least a month before you try to do something else as it may take your body that long to readjust to the change in food.
I must be the slowest loser ever some weeks I lose nothing which is really frustrating but then others I'll lose 2 or lbs. My losses...

I have two dogs and I'd have more if I didn't live in a flat. My girls are a fox red labrador and a yorkie who has put me off small breeds for life and definately has learning disabilities but I love her regardless :)
I can honestly say I've never experienced anything like this and if I did I'd be kicking someones ars* big time.
The guy that rammed his bike into your car would have had the tyre of the car on his head.
I agree that bullys know how and who they can victimise and it is shocking :(
Lol first sign of madness talking to yourself. I am feeling a bit fed up of it all at the minute too as I gave up smoking on NYE and I know I've gained at least 4lbs I've not weighed for a fortnight because of work and its WI tonight :/ I've decided to just go and face the music and start...
Can somebody please add me on for this week I've lost 0.5lb but can't change the lettering to red from my phone when I copy and paste and it won't let me quote either :(
Sugar is synned you'll find it at the back of your food optimising book (the syns).
I know the layered muller lights and the cheese cake ones are synned but most of the others are free. Did you join a class or online? If so you'll have access to syns online which will tell you the syns of...

Foodwise I won't be doing anything different, as I only had two days off track and only gained a lb I'm very happy with that. Next year I will be wearing a lovely dress to show off my new figure as I'm determined to get to goal by summer :)
I think joining onine is a waste of money you can join a group for a week and get the books and in january your first week is only 4.95 as there is no joining fee. You will get all the support you need and more on here :)
I am slightly scared that it can only be all down hill from here lol :/
As I had my best year ever last year and nothing is going to top it.
I moved county got my perfect home and job and my son started a lovely new school how do you top that lol :)
You can join without a voucher in January and get free membership saving you 10 pounds so all you pay is the weekly meeting fee of 4.95
My consultant text me this the other day :)
Erm no I don't have that problem, I don't like buying processed foods such as micro meals though but I think that's because I prefer to know what I'm eating and would rather cook from scratch :)
Oh dear try not to worry too much as it is xmas. I have came off track for xmas eve and today but I have decided that I am getting straight on back tomorrow. I find that when I have flexi days if I pick a day to get back on target I can focus on it and it helps me stick to it :)
Awww I would be peeved to hunny. My husband used to be crap at buying presents too so I used to get what I wanted and he'd give me the money. This year though I set him the challenge of getting them himself and I have to say he's come up trumps.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the day x
I was good up until last night when I had a rather large glass of Baileys and a few chocs. I plan to try and be as good as possible over the next few days but allowing myself treats like I'm having trifle after xmas dinner. I am getting straight back on track boxing day :)
This time last year I was 24lbs heavier and feeling as miserable as sin. I was still living in Leicester and hating every minute of it. I had my house on the market and was desperately looking for a job here in Cornwall, I felt like I was stuck in limbo :(
This year I'm as happy as larry I'm...

Panicked when I saw the title of this lol as we only ever have the tri colour fussilli. Thank goodness its free. Bloomin kids won't eat the plain stuff :(
I walk my dogs, and have a Wii fit and Cross trainer although neither have been used much lately as I've not long moved house. Its my new years resolution to crack on with it though :)

Could somebody please do it for me.

Hello and welcome to SW. I am like you and have tried many things (some more than once lol) over the years. To name a few erm...........WW, Hoodia, Xenical, Cambridge, Exante. I have lost weight with all of them but it always go back on or I give up because I'm so bored.
SW isn't just a diet...
I talk about my weight to most people and SW lol. I also like to know what other people weigh but only if they tell me or we are talking about weight losses etc.
I don't really mind people asking me my weight now but I would have done a stone or so ago.
Perhaps the lady who you weighed was...
Good luck with reaching your xmas target :) I set myself a target at the end of september to get a stone off before xmas I only have 0.5lb to go so hope I can resist all naughty xmas foods until WI on friday and hopefully after too x
My xmas dinner is not bad apart from the yorkies and pigs in blankets. The only thing that is very naughty is the bottle of baileys I plan to consume, me and the doggies will be going for a very long walk on boxing day to walk it off :)
Hi I'm a nurse and do shifts if your a shiftworker and can't get to meetings u don't have to pay for missed weeks, maybe you could tell a little white lie ;)
Hope hubby has a speedy recovery x
I find the same too, it doesn't stop me though I have lamb in the slow cooker now.
I think there's two reasons for this one is that red meat contains more cals and fat than poultry.
Number two is red meat is hard to digest we weren't created to be carnivores and our bodies struggle to break it...
Noooo you shouldn't go looking for your presents.
I know if my hubby went looking for the ones I'd brought him he wouldn't get another. Christmas is meant to be magical and surprising, how can it be any of that if you can't wait to see what you've got :(
Oh dear I think the online membership is a waste of money like you said you can get all the support you need on here.
A class is the best option you get all the support you need :)
I hope you told him where to go. Do you ever ask him to listen to how pathetic he actually is having to intimidate a women to make himself feel better.
Aww Linda you deserve so much better don't put up with it hun :(
Awww lovely pics of your Kittys :) I have three myself Lilo, Ziggy, and Hattie my mum had them for 3 months whilst I moved house and county and spoilt them absolutely rotten with chicken and tuna and it took me days of starvation on there behalf and protest from me that I wouldn't give in to get...
Sweetie i used to live with a man like that who told me id be a fat scumbag who could do nothing for as long as i lived. He also told me that i would never leave him as i'd get noone else blah blah.
Well let me tell you something Linda i left him :) took 5 long years to pluck up the courage but...
I allowed myself a day off on friday as it was my staff night out and I really didn't want to worry.......................guess what? I had a stomach bug and hardly ate anyway :(
I'm having christmas day off and I plan to have a bottle of baileys and a chocalate orange on the day too :)
It must be awful to be the last to know but I'm sure your daughter did it this way because she was nervous of what your reaction would be.
I'm sure she hasn't done it (left you to be the last to know) just to annoy you and by telling others first she was probably just testing the water to see...
I call bread rolls, cobs too :) you can imagine the confusion I caused when I first moved to sunny Cornwall going to the bakeries and asking for a cheese cob.
They have some strange sayings down here too like Ideal which means wicked or perfect.
Then there's me ansome or me loverrrrr.
And...
I don't think it is hard I think its all about the state of mind you are in, and if your head isn't in the right place and you don't have the willpower and motivation then your never going to do this.
How do I know well I'm a serial SW member and can count on more than one hand how many times...
Sorry I can't help you :( I think you will probably break even or gain for a few weeks like you said but I'm sure it will come off in the end.
SW is a great plan and a way of life not just a diet. Good luck with it x
New book looks great :) I personally prefer EE, but do do green days. I'm not such a big fan of red. But hey that's why SW is so great there's something to cater for everyones taste :)
I have the WW scales they were 25 quid but are so accurate I can get on and off and move them round the house and they tell me exactly the same weight each time. They also do bmi, bone percentage, fat percentage and water percentage.
I've always brought cheap ones before but these are fab. They...
I plan to have the day off completely aand not worry about it. Straight back on track boxing day with taking the dogs for a long beach walk and good food. We aren't having turkey this year as we are completely fed up of it we have brought half a lamb off a farmer friend and intend to freeze some...
Hello and welcome. I am sorry that you have had a sad loss and had a bad time :(
Good luck with SW it really is a fantastic eating plan and I know because I'm pants at dieting lol, but I can actually stick to this it fits in with daily life perfectly and I'm never hungry :)
Hi good luck on your Journey. My only tip would be to write down every morsel that passes your lips for the next few weeks it really helps to focus and stay on track :)
I used to be a terrible comfort eater and still would be if I let myself, but now I can see myself shaping up a bit I don't want to ruin all my hard work. So I try to have something within my syns or a satsuma or muller instead :)
Hi good luck with your SW journey and the rest of your course. I'm a community nurse so know how harrowing those tins of chocalates and biscuits from patients can be :)
Hello :) good luck with your weightloss. I really thimk you should if you can either go to class or join online as stastistics show people that go it alone don't lose as much weight and lose interest quicker. You may have the willpower but I know I don't lol :)
I'm afraid I'd have reported her to head office by now too. How can she stand there in a SW meeting and call the products that SW promote its shocking!! Also that poor person whose mugshot was taken out of the basket, good job she didn't do it to me lol I'd soon have put her right. Report her...
Hmmm I think SW fits quite well into my life already so I guess I am lucky. The thing that I am grateful for is flexi syns it helps me to stay on track and not feel I've fell off the wagon x
Congrats on your loss so far its amazing :) I agree with the above posts about forward planning I always make my lunch the night before I go to work and put it in the fridge ready. I also write everything down I am eating at work otherwise I'd find it too easy to just keep scoffing sweets and...
I have taken Xenical before whilst on SW and didn't really lose anymore than normal. Just one word of warning though, steer clear of eggs as the yolk is high in fat and it gives you that oily orange effect lol ;)
I'm not a huge fan of quorn or other substitutes, I would rather have the real thing. I do however love the quorn nuggets they are only 1/2 syn each and although u can tell they aren't chicken they are a great low syn substitute :)
I've heard both of those two rumours aswell :) still wouldn't waste a hex b on a poxy 30g of cereal whilst doing EE though lol. I've heard they are doing it because many people who have a hex b of say 28g of cereal and 1 ryvita very often won't eat the ryvita so are not getting full fibre :)
If you were eating properly and had a good breakfast, lunch and dinner it wouldn't be low blood sugar. Your body may be having DT's because it is not used to not having sugar rushes. Stick with it and the feeling will pass and you will benefit from eating healthy. Good luck :)
Its great isn't it when I lived in Leicester I shopped there every week and for around fifty quid got groceries for me, hubby, son, two dogs and three cats. Unfortunately there's not one nearby now :(
I had an indian tonight and used flexi syns. I had chicken jalfrezi (8.5 syns) boiled rice (free) and a chapati (7.5) it was lovely and very filling :)
I think its down to personal choice and its not rude to ask someone if they can cater for your needs wether you are on a diet or don't eat something, if the person cooking doesn't like it they can say no.
I had my friend here for the weekend who is doing high protein at the minute and I...
Hmmm don't know what to suggest really. Maybe planning ahead would be a good idea, choose which night your going to have a takeaway and plan your meals and buy the ingredients for them so you won't want to waste it :)
And I think your reply was rather rude too, we are all here to express our own opinions without being jumped on by others.
I meant that you could explain to her that you will eat at home or if she is still insistant that you go there for dinner explain that you are following SW and tell her...
You have to be firm and explain nicely exactly what you are doing, and that you will eat before you come round or give her a list of what you can eat if she's still wanting you to eat with them :)
I can't lose weight on green alone as I'm a carb junky and can literally eat them until ithey come out my ears. Give it a chance and see what happens for WI then you can decide if its right for you :)
Hello I hope you are making a recovery from your ilness now hunny you are so young :) good luck with SW. I'm like you I've joined several times before and I know it works its just that before I've not had the motivation. This time I am loving it!!
If you go to the slinmming world website, on the homepage you will see a part which says find your local group, click on that and enter your postcode and it will come up with your local group :)
If you could lose 5lb in 24 hrs safely following SW we'd all be doing it. You just need to stick to plan and it will come off in its own time but there's no quick fix, only long term determination and willpower :)
