Thanks ladies. I guess I need to remember it's the best thing I can do and will give the best results, whatever they may be. Just feel like my metabolism is so rubbish that I don't lose no matter what I do.

Ive been losing weight for my holiday next month whilst TTC and am very pleased that we seem to have got very lucky on our first try. I'm 4 weeks and 2 days. I'm still following SW, and my appetite seems stupidly low, but my weight already seems to be creeping up. (I'm a serial weigher). If...

I have WI in the morning and think I'm down 5 lbs taking me to 12st12. Have been yoyoing for a year but am determined to get back into the 11's soon as hope to be trying for a baby soon. Nice to hear all your losses. Hope you can make room for one more. MIA x

If you join online through quidco, I hear its £30 for 3 months but you get £30 cashback so it would effectively be free.

If it helps you put this into perspective... I can sometimes vary up to 4lbs in one day... Much better to look at the longer term picture.

I lost 5 stone on SW, but everytime a social occassion got in the way I fell off the wagon, and each time I was off it, I decided to eat everything I wasnt allowed whilst on SW. Work at the minute means Im constantly out for lunch and social eating and drinking, and it was really really hard...

Thanks Mrsmlc. You've actually gone from the weight I am now, to the weight I wanna be. Any top tips? It's good to hear as so many people tell them they give up on WW before they reach target.

I've only just realised spices have points. I'm not talking about packets of colman's but say stuff I would put into a curry, like turmeric, and chilli powder and paprika etc. I just wondered whether people point spices and whether it would really make that much difference to weight loss?

Hi, Sorry I've only just seen this. I dont really have my weeklies at all. Just leave them for picking up any slightly wrong pointing I might have done or help me out where I have had to guess points when eating out. May use them more depending on how I get on. I think my large first week...

Hi everyone, hope you dont mind me reappearing, I actually started this thread and then totally fell off the wagon. I lost all my confidence in WW after sts one week and went back to SW as I'd previously lost 5 stone on that diet (slowly but surely) but then as SW really didnt offer any...

So that I just pay the £4.95 weekly fee when I join this week? I've seen it half price, but would prefer to avoid it if possible. I know various magazines often have offers.

Sorry perhaps I was unclear. I wasnt expecting a weight loss, Im just one of those people that always weigh regularly at home. I just wasnt expecting a 4lb gain, and I guess I freaked out because of the change I presumed by increasing my carbs so much could I have really done some damage and...

Up until Weds I have been following WW, not going hungry and actually eating quite a lot. I decided to switch back to SW as I was missing cooking curries and rice which WW really doesnt allow too much of. I'd done SW for 5 years previous and lost 5 stone. Yesterday I had a chinese takeaway...

Mine would have to be Steak Pudding with Chips and Gravy from the chippy, with thick white bread and real butter... mmmm

Thanks Starlight - will make note. Thanks ermintrude. Dont re-join til Saturday, and had some of this in the fridge and want to get started with keeping track.

Thanks. So the one I have posted is 2 syns on Red. Can I ask what it is on green please?

I've asked the butcher to do this in the past, and they have told me they only use it for beef and can't use it for anything else because of some risk or other. :-(

Hi Ladies, I lost 5 stone on SW... and then went and had a run of holidays and put 2 back on! It's taken me what seems like an age getting rid of 1 of those on WW (I just felt I needed a change after 5 years of SW and maybe feeling like it wasnt working - although maybe it was me complacent...

2 things I have found.. Tesco do a salad by the sandwiches.. its a spicy chinese noodle salad in a green cardboard box type thing...it's gorgeous - and only 4 points. M&S also have these new salad/soup bowls in the salad area, they have a sauce thing in the bottom and you add water and stick...

I've just got to 12st 13.5lbs and would love to buddy up with people of other weights for motivation towards getting into the 11 stones. Does anyone want to jump on board? I WI on a wednesday. I'm on 29 points a day and I eat some but not all of my weeklies. I'm not big on exercise but I'd love...

Thanks so much. When might it go down?

Hi ladies, I'm relatively new to WW and was looking for some buddies. I attend WW on a Wednesday in my lunch hour, and love ww on my iphone so anyone also wanting to be friends on there would be great. I've done 3 weeks so far and have lost 8.5lbs. I did SW for like 4 years in total and...

My husband is 32, weighs 13 stone and is 5ft 10. Can someone tell me how many pro points he should be on?

The M&S COU Chicken and Basil one is lovely and tasty for 10 points. I have half of it with chopped salad, so getting the taste for less points.

I'm feeling a bit demotivated as had my 2nd weigh in last night and sts. This was despite tracking everything and staying totally on track. First weigh in I lost 5.5lbs so I guess thats something. I thought this would really motivate me in the hope I might see more next week... i.e maybe I've...

I'm doing my first week on WW. Have previously done SW and had success. Previously when ever I have started a new diet, the first week I get a larger loss of around 5 - 7 lbs. Mainly because of the difference in diet from bad to good. I'm finding it really hard to believe that Im going to...

Hello all. First few days on WW and having difficulty. Lost 5st on sw, recently put 1.5 back on, and so thought I'd give WW a go to shake the habit. Had loads of people in my SW class totally criticise WW so feel like my head is full of doubts and scared it wont work. I occassionally...

got to weigh in and true to my scales at home had lost 2lbs, so missed out on my 5 stone award by 1/2 a lb! Am away on holiday for 4 days now, but then hoping to get back onto it. I'm assuming my hols might mean a small gain but hoping this and the 1/2 lb can be gone 2 weeks from today. Would...

Really pleased to be here. Did a "fabulous first week" all over again last week and lost 5lbs and weighed in on Thursday at 11st 12. Had a sneaky weigh in at home this week and look to have come down to 11st 10. Would love for it to be 11st 9.5 as then I would have lost 5 stone in total. I'm...

I would definately give it a go, if your not losing as much with EE. I just found I was never getting my full 1/3rd superfree on EE so was usually treating and just having loads of free red/green foods together which would have used my syns on either red/green days. I think its also easier for...

Well... I did it! I weighed in at group last Thursday day and after treating it as another fabulous first week, I lost 5lbs taking me to 11st 12. I've had a sneaky weigh in at home and am currently 11st 10, and Im desperate to make it 11st 9.5 as I will then have lost 5 stones in total. Have...

Hi Ladies, hope you don't mind me posting. We're just about ready to start TTC and I was just wondering if anyone has managed to lose weight during their pregnancy whilst on SW, or effectively maintained or very quickly after delivering got back to pre-pregnancy weight? If your willing to...

Hey all.. I kept trying to find this thread (I started it) but couldn't so was lovely to find it's been moved in here and has been used lots. I weighed in last Thursday at 12.3 - again I've been messing around for simply AGES. I have 2 weeks til a mini break though so have really really...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has managed to lose weight during their pregnancy whilst on SW, or effectively maintained or very quickly after delivering got back to pre-pregnancy weight? If your willing to share starting weights etc that would really help me. I'm hoping to be under 11...

Great to see so many people have posted. My last weigh in was 12st 1, and definately moving in the right direction! I've had a bit of a stomach bug this week so have been seeing some nice weights on the scales at home like 11st10.5 but dont think I can "bank them" just yet as have probably...

Hi Hun, Just wanted to say.. I had similar pains to you several years back, and got diagnosed with a condition called myositis. My "flares" and inflammation of the muscles did mean that my weight went up and down but then some weeks, I'd suddenly find I dropped 7lbs. I found the best thing I...

The nandos "rub" is much lower in syns. Its between 3 and 4 syns (depending on which you get) for 25g and that coats about 4 chicken breasts.

Wow! Lots of birthdays. I just had mine on the 16th and hubbys was the 10th. I went back to club tonight having been away for 3 weeks, and have lost 1lb. Sounds so little... but Im THRILLED, as when I came back from a weekend away 2 weeks ago - I'd put on 5lbs. Just goes to show how you can...

I definately love mine!! We just spray the inside with fry light mostly - so syn free chips - they come up lovely. :-)

Hi Katie, Well done on your loss so far! I'm 5ft 6.5 ish I think, and have gone from being a size 20 to a size 14 in most places except perhaps what I call the really skinny shops! hehe I'll be a very happy bunny when I eventually get into a 12. I tend to find that when I'm good - I'm...

Just wondered if anybody wants to help support each other. I have been doing SW for so long now (4 years) and its far too easy to tell myself sometimes that consistent and regular losses are only achievable by those who have more to lose, as I found it so much easier when I started. I've lost...

I believe its all to do with the "Satiety index" of foods

Some of my favourites, are strawberries and pineapple... or did you mean superfree?

I like the weetabix mini choc chip ones... you only get like 14 lil mini bites.. but they are sooo lovely.

I believe the difference comes from the fact the Tesco ones have oil in them, whereas the co-op ones dont. Its not necessarily the nutritional info, but where those figures come from. calories from fat not being as good as others. iykwim.

Do you ensure you have 1/3 superfree with every single meal? Its easier to do for dinner, but much harder for lunch/breakfast. Does it have to be at every meal? I do worry if sometimes I'd actually be eating more this way, as Id be adding it to my plate, but guess thats why your also supposed to...

Does anybody remember if any of the recent magazines have had a recipe for paella in? Im sure I've seen it somewhere but cant rememeber where.

Didnt know they sold the old magazines in club, ours never does - altho thats probably cos they always sell out!

Ah... it's ok - as soon as that post came up I found it!

Where is it you can see how many posts your up to?

What a gorgeous baby girl. Congratulations!

Hehe. Forgot I'd posted before. Is this still an active thread? x

Good luck with your weight loss journey. What a great thing to motivate you! :-)

Everything under 24.9 is classed as fine. So your already there. As spangly mum suggests, you can just as many problems having too low a BMI, so make sure you dont demand too much from your body.

Some chef's also use cream in omelettes - so always worth asking.

There is a "RICE" upstairs that do some dishes with boiled rice, so that might be worth looking up.

I usually get the chicken breast burger on pitta and then give the pitta away (although you only get 1/2 of 1 so could syn it) I then usually have it with corn on the cob, and spicy rice - both of which are free. You could always ask for another chicken breast or a side salad too.

I'd agree that whilst lamb tends to be fattier, I'd go with the higher syns just to be on the safe side. Can I ask how many syns in a popadom? We're off for an Indian tommorow - I usually have the spiced mixed grill.

I had this as slug and lettuce the other day, the chicken is marinated in Harissa paste which I understand is negligible syns and then charcoal grilled. I had the dressing on the side and as it had harrisa in it, the smallest drizzle was enough and it was served with a few chick peas and a...

This sounds good. Is it not seen as an abuse of healthy extra's. Where does it say its been SW approved?

Hi All. I'm hoping to start ttc in a couple of months - have lost 4 stone doing sw on and off over the last 2 years and would like to lose my last 2 stone so that Im where I want which will give me the motivation to look after myself well throughout pregnancy rather than using it as an excuse...

Well done on the weight loss journey so far, and good luck in going forward!
