I would love to lose 1lb a week. I have lost 25lb and it's taken me 10 months and I'm really pleased with myself. Reading your comment about wanting to give up almost undermines my achievement. Just saying.

I agree with AuntyNet.

Honk!

Me telling friends about SW has resulted in 4 of them signing up themselves and doing great out of it!

S&S mugshots are 2 syns each now (that or 2.5 syns). Got told at class last night. Gutted, it's my fav flavour :(

Butternut squash curry, for sure!!!

I was a 'natural' size 8 until my early 20s. By natural, I mean my lifestyle enabled me to be that size without trying, I didn't aim to be a size 8. Then life/marriage (bad)/unhappy at work happened and then I ballooned and never really lost it. I'm aiming for 10 but if I find it difficult to...

I have made that same promise to myself!

Zoe, I think you have hit the nail on the head! Worrying that I won't look like me anymore. Looking in the mirror and thinking "who are you?" Good to know I'm not alone feeling like this

I'm 40 so I guess some of the concern is worrying about looking old when I've got to target (which is not excessive). For so long I have been joking that fat fills out the wrinkles that I think I now believe it!

Hi I'm 5ft 1in and have lost 1st 6lb so far and I can definitely see the difference (as can friends and family) but now I'm finding myself feeling a bit anxious as I get further in my journey. I think it's because I've not seen myself this slim for 20 years and I'm not sure what I'll look...

I take it to help regulate sleep. Works a treat for me x

I stayed a in laws over the weekend and was asked if I wanted a crumb for my breakfast ( instead of her cooked breakfast with oil)!!! She also went to great lengths to point out in a book that you can have oil when you cook pasta. Was a struggle not to say "yes I know, but I choose not to use"...

I agree, I watched Dead Fat and that shocked me back on track. Seriously difficult to watch but so glad I watched it, it's not a program I'll forget.

Yep, had a couple of those myself! The the phrase 'not as thin as I think I am' frequently escapes my lips!

2lb on at wi tonight, but expected it as I had a new nephew on Saturday and a new niece on Sunday. Plenty of celebratory type foods!! Then a friends birthday Monday night so a lovely 3 course meal out, paying for it all now tho

Me! Started at 11st 10lb, last WI I was 10st 6.5lb, dying to get into the 9's. I keep going off plan due to stuff coming up (birthdays, new nieces/nephews, unplanned days away etc).

Aww, have you been doing SW for long? I pick places to eat out that can accommodate healthy choices. It might mean skipping dessert if I have had other syns during the day. Does it just feel like your friends are sabotaging your weight loss, or do you think they really are out to sabotage? My...

Wow!! Congratulations and very well done!!

Fabulous post! I didn't think being overweight affected me that much until I got onto the topic with my sister and burst into tears. Reading your post, many points hit home. I've tried WW before which did work but was so much hard work and was not sustainable for me. I'm so happy I found SW...

I must be the only person who doesn't mind people knowing I've gained. Most times I know why, and when we can't think why it's happened, others are able to help and suggest reasons why. Personally, it's admitting things haven't quite gone to plan and knowing what to do next week. After all, if...

Well done! I got mine last night too!

My wi is weds 7:30, when I get in I have 4 stuffed olives as a treat which I syn. I treat wi day same as any other day!

Hi, that's what I do! As long as proportionwise a third of your meal is superfree, it doesn't matter whether it's separate or mixed in

I eat normally, fruit, yogurt, hi fi, proper lunch and a proper dinner. I can't bear to be hungry so the thought of not eating like normal on one day a week is out for me. Plus my wi is 7:30pm.

I have to admit to being a bit startled that this is even an issue. Personally, it doesn't even cross my mind to 'win' sotw or sotm. The only thing that matters to me is that I have a loss on my wi. Any loss. S'all I'm saying.

I'm addicted to ravishing ruby!

I drink peppermint tea everyday instead of tea/coffee (apart from my morning coffee) and I go everyday, sometimes twice a day! Works extra well with a hi-fi bar a day as well!

diet coke chicken with lots of veg and boiled rice! yummy!

Yay you!! Well done!

Yeah, recently had a family party so flexible syns were in order. Ate scan bran and light cheese triangles (hexa and hexb) before going so I could have a little of what I wanted. Prob ate 5 items at the party, 1 of which was a tiny meringue with a little cream and got "I bet that's got lots of...

Cor!!!!!!!

Joes Syn Free sausages with mash and sugarsnaps I think!! Not very Chinese to be eating it on Chinese new year!!

Chow fan is the Chinese generic name for fried rice. :)

2lbs off for me! Very please after only having lost half lb last week! Better keep the momentum going! Here's to another good week for everyone!

Not to be sniffed at! Well done and congratulations!! Awesome!

Only lost 0.5lb tonight, a little disappointed but secretly know it's down to fish & chips last fri, and 24 syns worth of cake last thurs! Other than that I am sure I have been on plan :( Mind you, Aunt Irma is visiting this Saturday so that might have something to do with it.

Hi, I did ww before online but struggled to stay motivated even tho I was part of a very active forum for support. Joining sw and stating to group works for me, people are lovely, direct access to my consultant, the fact that someone else reads my weigh in (so I can't cheat) and seeing other...

0.5 lb gain for me :( But it was a great new year!!!

Not weeing more, but had a lot of cabbage over last 2 days so got windypops!

Well done for biting the bullet and going for your weigh in. Not knowing is always worse :)

Hi, I go on my own too, only been to 3 classes so far. 1 class at one venue then switched due to convenience, and the people aree lovely. Luckily, I opt for a later group (7.30pm) so it's a smaller group which I prefer as people have more time to mingle and get to know you. But my consultant...

Thanks all, only 2 syns used today but am offout tonight to the nec, so looks like a spud when I get there!

Thanks Daisy, yeah, hopefully next WI wikll be better. I'm hopeful! If nothing else though, I don't feel bloated anymore and have a lot more energy so that's a bonus already. I'm cutting right down on my caffeine to 1 coffee or tea a day, the occasional diet coke and taken up peppermint tea...

Hello all, Jut thought that I would say hi, I have to confess to lurking for a week. I joined SW just over a week ago and lost 2lb on my first WI. Although I am pleased that I have lost 2lb, a little part of me was secretly disappointed that I didn't have an awesome first week (I suppose I...
