Thx a million Miss_Taken :)

Hi guys, Can I join you??? I'm kicking off my SW journey tomorrow. I'm based in Dublin. I'm hoping the next year gets me to goal!!! I'm not joining group until the new year because of lack of funds.... I dabbled with WW but I was always STARVING, so I'm going to do SW again (I never really...

Well done eb2308. how are you finding the change from SW to WW? I much prefer WW - think it suits my lifestyle much more!

thx everton - just about hanging in there this week. The motivation has disappeared this week :-( How are you doing? x

how are you getting on missus? Hope all is wellx

what a super loss you had this week Serena! I bet you are over the moon! What did you do differently to speed it up??? Nona x

Hi everyone! I haven't been on here in AGES due to college and work craziness! Just about hanging in here still lol. REALLY struggling this week (have had two MAJOR blowouts - think it's TOTM cravings). Got my stone award last week eventually!!! How are you all getting on ?

How is everyone getting on??? I lost another 1.5lbs last night so I'm delighted. VERY worried however about the long weekend :-( I'm heading away and I'm TERRIFIED of gaining weight. I'd love to lose 1.5lb as that would be my stone, but I think realistically if I could get a maintain next...

Hi Serena, That's a super loss - go you!!! I had a good enough week but not great - just little "extras" along the way :-( Wasn't going to go to weigh in last night (terrible I know!) but I went and lost 1.5lbs so I've now lost 5% of my weight - woo hoo! Panic slightly now for the weekend as...

Thx Aisling. I lost 4lbs this week so I was over the moon! Dying for pizza still though lol. Might fly down and get some tomorrow and have them as a nice "treat" tomorrow evening... Hope you are getting on well x

Well done Alison - great loss! How did you get on Serena? I hope it all went well for you too. Well I weighed in and ......was down 4lb????? Just can't figure it out to be honest, but I was delighted ;-) I'm not down 11lbs (and my goal was 12lbs for the same period of time so I'm really...

that's not bad at all! Maybe my motivation might be close at hand after hearing that lol x

Hi everyone, I'm also based in Dublin. Joined WW 6 weeks ago. Had a really tough last two weeks (+.5lb and then +1lb) so hoping for a loss this week. Lovely to "meet" you all... I'm also dying to have pizza now lol

Hi Sweet - I do very little at the moment. I started two weeks ago and did 4*30min walks. Felt really great until I weighed in up half lb. Didn't do any last week and I'm up another lb. Not very motivated to exercise at all to be honest, but if/when I do, it will be walking as I really enjoy...

Thx Alison - I never realised you could check your points on the purple calculator lol. I've just done that now and I'm def on the right points. I'll set up a diary on here and see how I get on - good advice there! Maybe it is the multiples of things that are throwing me out :-( Thx so much...

Thx Sweet. how do the activity points work - do you use them all?

Can I join too please? I would like to lose 8lbs in the next 8 weeks.

well guys I weighed in tonight and I was UP another lb. So devastated. I have absolutely no idea why??? I have just rechecked all my points from my tracker and I've pointed everything right so really not sure what's happened. My leader wasn't there tonight it was a stand in leader. She was...

Thx Jooloo - what a fab weight loss you've had! Was that all WW? I def pointed everything right as I'm so paranoid about it after making a mistake on my first week :mad: I didn't use any of my activity points as I was really hoping that it would speed up my weight loss. My leader was...

I'd love to be able to get to a morning weigh in - I always weigh lighter! But because of work, I can't... I know that horrible feeling when it goes wrong on the scales. And I'm a serial jumper on scales too lol. It's a dangerous thing though. If my scales show me down I tend to cut corners...

Thx everyone... Alison - when is your weigh in day? I'm Wednesday evening. Feeling (quietly) confident as I've had a good week food wise. Hate to say this, but didn't get out for a walk this week at all. Due to a couple of reasons (1) demotivated! (2) dying with a cold and (3) CRAZy with...

Thx Alison. I've been really good food wise, but haven't walked once this week :( Lost motivation after the gain......hope to see a loss next week..... You are doing great! Fab stats...... x

Thx Sweet Temptation. I've been so focused this time around it's unreal! I'm really trying soooo hard and I know I was within my points, so I just hope it shows next week as I was so disappointed :sigh:

Well all you lovely ladies and gents, tonight was my 4th weigh in and I stuck rigidly to my pp (even over the long weekend!!) and walked 4 times (30 mins each time). I haven't walked in about 4 years, but I really really really really want to lose 2 stone before my hols in July. I weighed in...

Thx Fusion x

Honking for today!

I love mine with happy cow cheese (like laughing cow!) sliced tomato, salt and black pepper - yum yum yum !

Thx Fusion - no these are called "happy cow". They are the cheaper version of laughing cow. I prefer them to laughing cow to be honest... Unfortunately there are no nutritional values on them though :-(

honking for today.....:p

I read an old post that says they are 2 triangles for 1 pp. Does anyone know if this is accurate still? I hope so :D x

honking for yesterday and today - woo hoo!! :party0019:

I faffed about with SW and was making really unhealthy decisions like when feeling like I wanted a snack, I was eating a plate of pasta just because it was "free". I also have a sweet tooth and like to have a few drinks at the weekend, so WW is definitely the plan for me. I actually love the...

I'm having 2 packs of oodles of noodles (2pp each pack - they are small!) = 4pp and some chicken = 8pp total using some of my weeklies tonight for a little drinkie!

well I had my first weigh in tonight and I lost 3lbs on my first week with WW. To be honest, I'm a little disappointed for my first week's weight loss. I used to eat so unhealthily and this week I've stuck to the points properly. I've 5 stone to lose so really thought I would have lost more...

I too have moved over from SW to WW. I joined my WW group on Wednesday night and I'm loving it so far. I love the feeling of control I have and I love the fact that I have 49 pp to use on a takeaway and a few drinks if I want them.... Best of luck everyone....x

Thx Atomic Pink

can you build up and use activity points too on SF? Moving from SW to WW and think that SF might be more suitable for me. many thanks, Nona

Why don't you start him on the Original plan if he loves his meat/fish and not too fussed on the veg/fruit side of things. Ideally he should still eat 1/3 superfree on Original, but he doesn't HAVE to- and he would have an extra HE Aand B if he wanted, so extra bread if he chose it.... nona x

wow That's an AMAZING loss - well done.... Brill achievement x

all I can say is.... WOW...you look FANTASTIC!

Klairbear, A lot of us are in the same boat as you - we've tried before (numerous times) and we're back AGAIN. But do you know what - I admire you for coming back AGAIN - that's what's important. It would be worse if you had given up altogether - but you haven't. You sound DETERMINED to get...

Me too JC - it's great to see the difference losing the weight can make.....I'm restarting AGAIN on Monday and stories like this (and of course the photos) REALLY help! Well done Stefanie and thanks for motivating us x

wow - what a difference! you look great - well done x

you look stunning! Well done x

huge inspiration - you look fantastic! x

You're going to have to change your user name to mrs small b.... :p

and there are 4 booklets apparently - one on Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues...... there is a money off voucher on Sat and Mon - saving membership fees for group next week.....

Hi BeckyT, Did you save all your syns till the weekend, or did you allow some syns during each day and most for the weekend?

a couple of things for me: (a) I love singing and since putting on the extra weight I can't hold a note for as long as I used to be able to (b) my knees sometimes "buckle" when I go up the stairs (c) I sweat more (d) I feel sh*t (e) I wear/hide in the same clothes all the time (f) Seeing people...

Bananas ARE super free - they are not super speed or speed but they are definitely superfree. They DO account for the 1/3 of your plate - they are on page 11 - SUPER FREE foods so fill up and enjoy x

Pete I think you are amazing - your weight loss, your recipes, your photos and you are so positive! Well done and I reckon lots of us would be lost without you x

Hollys Nan wow - that's amazing... What did you go for in the end? Did you enjoy it? Was it worth the wait? Well done on staying off takeaways for a year!

I also meant to add that your body still needs the naughty stuff so your weight loss doesn't slow down... That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it lol :p But the reality is very few people could live life with no syns...

I couldn't imagine NOT using my syns... your sister in law must have some will power.... I keep mine for alcohol/choc/crisps...I couldn't give up all of that... I'd lost my reason ifI did :17729::17729:

best of luck with it.. I find if you break it down into smaller weight losses it keeps you motivated for longer...so aim for eg: 2lbs a week (or whatever you KNOW you're likely to achieve) and by May that adds up to a lot of weight lost.... Best of luck x

oh dreamslim - I have NO willpower - that would drive me mad... I guess having lots of free/superfree food at the ready so you're full rather than wanting to eat some of the "bad" stuff lol... I don't envy you, but you need to think do you REALLY REALLY want to sabotage your journey...

savoury rice, veg and quorn fillets...yum

I've got Zumba for the Wii but I've never used it - hope it's not too complicated as I'm hoping to start doing it! Need to keep the blinds closed as I don't think the neighbours are ready to see me in action lol

you look fantastic - well done!!! x

GREAT result febbabe - I'm dying to get back on track "properly"... Well done x

but you're right - ONE won't hurt....but can you stop at one??? I can't! And that's when it's a problem.... if you can't stop at one - get rid of what's left in the house (give to a neighbour/old folk's home etc)..... x

that's so cute....would def help keep you motivated!

oh applekath - what a sad story :cry:I didn't grieve for my mum for over a year..... I was on hols, had one or two too many drinks and it hit me like a tonne of bricks. I was very lucky that my sister was with me as I completely fell apart. When I got back from my holidays, I went to the...

I love the Caramel hi-fi lites.... I love the fact that you can have 2 as a HEb.... It means I can have one early in the day and one for my supper...... mmmmm

Hi Floweryrosie I'm also going to be doing green days as I'm not a huge lover of meat. Really looking forward to it! I'm re-starting the 9th Jan....x

one of my (many) reasons is that my sister is actually embarrassed to go with me now. I too have about 6 stone to lose.... It's very hurtful that people ONLY see the overweight person - they don't see the person that's inside :cry: Anyway, more than anything, I would love to be WELL on my way...

Frozen grapes are fantastic! They are like sweets - and curb my sugar cravings big time. I put a whole punnet in the freezer at a time and then when I'm sitting watching TV and the cravings start I nibble on them and they are gorgeous.... I've heard frozen pineapple is gorgeous too, but I love...

Maypole, I'm sooooo sorry for your loss. It is one of the most incredibly difficult things - losing your mum. My mum died 10 years ago and it's still tough :sigh: The big mistake I made was just giving up on slimming and the end result was that I've put on 6 stone since she died (I was my...

Good luck to everyone on their 2012 weight loss journey. I'm going to aim to make this MY year to get to target..... Happy New Year nona x

HEA choices new book page 21: Cheese grab and go section 2*35g tubs of Philadelphia Light Soft Cheese = 1HEA.... Nothing about Extra light in this section :-( Hope this helps, nona x

mine is to - :D take it ONE step at a time and stop focusing on the TOTAL amount of weight I've to lose! I succeed much better when I take it week by week....

I've just added myself in too.. Great idea! Not starting till the 9th of Jan so will aim for 40lbs by 9th July! Nona x Acc 14lbs (0lbs lost - 14lbs to go) Aesir 42lbs (0lbs lost ~ 42lbs to go) Ali* 14lbs (0 lost - 14lbs to go) Beki 40.5lb (0lb lost ~ 40.5lb to go) blossom 28lb(0 lost -28lb...

well done Junesboat. I'm joining my local group w/b 9th January. I've been half attempting to do it myself and it just isn't working :mad: This forum is brilliant for ideas, inspiration and recipes, so I'll be checking in every day for help etc.... Good luck Nona x

Hi Kirsty.... ...how did you get on? Might do it in Jan to boost the weight loss after Christmas...

what sauce.. ....did you use for your spag bol Miss Slinky? I'm not the best cook in the world and I love pasta and sauce...any tips? thx Nona

Thanks everyone x

Can I ask - do any of you who follow the green plan NOT worry about portion size (but stop when you are full) and get good losses? I thought SW was not about portion size, but having the right food... Thx Nona x

I LOVE the quorn chicken nuggets, chicken fillets and chicken burgers. Unfortunately they all have syns, but I find them tastier than real chicken lol. I'm not a veggie, but go for these quorn favourites all the time.... mmmm...:D

ooooh - maybe you could share your pizza recipe again for us "newbies" - fair play to you for coming back here - you KNOW SW works, and it WILL work for you this time too.... Looking forward to seeing how you get on. Welcome back xox

Hi Hunca, I just had to respond about you weighing in! I am a "serial weigher" and I've been reallllllllly good this week and had only lost 1lb this week (this morning's weigh in). I was devastated and guess what I did then.........ATE and ATE and ATE (all the bad habits came back!) - I'm...

Plan for Friday 19th August Breakfast: Omelette with cheese and ham (HEA and HEB) - DONE Beans - DONE Snack: satsumas and grapes hi-fi bar - 6 syns Lunch: Golden Savoury Rice Bacon (HEB) Peas Snack: Muller light yog and grapes Dinner: new potatoes - oven cooked 2 quorn chicken burgers - 5...

Hi all, I'm nona.... Been attempting to try and stick to the SW plan for a LONG time and I'm just fed up now. So it's time to get real and focus or I will just get heavier and heavier. I'm going to do an online diary and hope it keeps me on track. Please feel free to comment / critique if...

2 quorn chicken burgers = 5 syns SW wedges Sweet pototoes Baked beans Followed by some satsumas. Yummmmmmmy:D x

you look AMAZING and I'm sure your holiday will be the most amazing one you've ever had, given that super weight loss. WOW!!!! x

Can I join too please? I'm joining my local group tonight and I'm all fired up and ready to go. Christmas and a LBD is my goal.... I would like to lose 21lbs please x

wow Kron - you look amazing. Well done xox

you look fantastic Becks - looking forward to seeing the final result - you are a great inspiration x

hi Angela, I always search by manufacturer/brand when looking for syn values. If you key in Uncle Ben's and then "express" it gives you 3 pages of syn values. If you are entering the nutritional values, if the first item is a free food eg: rice, then you can give it a "free food allowance"...

I'm a Green girl!! I love the extra HE's and I struggle to fill my plate 1/3 SF foods when on EE so the green days suit me brill xox

wow Julie - you look amazing - well done x

Hi everyone :) Well I started SW this week for a number of reasons. I HATE being overweight. I HATE not being able to walk up the stairs properly because my knees hurt :cry: I HATE not having clothes that fit - I buy clothes that hide! So I decided that enough is enough. I've stuck to...
