    10pounds to lose

    absolutely ! Well done on the weight loss so far - 10lb's will be easee peesee for you now ! When you get to target you carry on SW - it's a healthy way of eating afterall - you just up the Heb's by 1 each week until you maintain. So if the first week you up by 1 and still lose weight then...

    I think you are wise to leave off sw scan bran and couscous cakes until you've been on the SW for a while - they definitely hinder your weight loss - well they do mine and there is always the age old debate that they should all be synned and not just small amount of syns because you are misusing...
