Sts this week :(

I sts this week :( not been feeling great but gonna try to up the speed and superfree foods x x

I'm quite similar - 12.8 at the moment and would like to get down to 10.7 preferably by may/june.

1.5 lbs off for me yesterday so down to 12.8. Hopefully nearing 11's by easter...!

Snap! Birthday and night out! Tried to stick to vodka and diet coke but syns still add up! Just gonna try do as everyone else has said until weigh in wednesday.....

Yay well done! I must have been bursting out of mine loo because I've lost 11lbs and their still nice and snug lol! Think another 7lbs might help them loosen a bit....here goes!

What recipies do you use for lentil lasagne?

I'm down to 12.9, really hoping to see the 11's by easter so six weeks.

Enioy those chocs, happy valentines!

Are there some recipies on here with lentils?

I use mine about twice a week mainly for chips but you can do other things. I personally wouldn't have paid full price for it, got it half price in a sale. It's so easy to use, clean etc and love the chips!!

Thanks for this, have a kids party there on the weekend and couldnt think of anything that'd be low in syns!

You know you can wake up without an alarm tomorrow.....hello annual leave!!

What did you think? I've never tried them but might do in next shop!

I'm also going to try more superfree foods this week..

Hi all. On day 6 of ss+. One day was crap but otherwise have been 100%. Start weight was 13.2. This morning weighed in at 12.9 and thought great. Just weighed now at 13.1 and with no clothes on!! Feel deflated as spent all this money and had no food so don't want a zero loss at weigh in...

Found it hard today. Had a family do today and drank water and tea but found the food side of it hard and have to admit i had 3-4 items of ibnles that i shouldn't have.... How are the rest of you doing?

I am on day 3 too so there's a few of us just staring off! X

I've just had cappuccino shake warmed which was quite nice. Not sure about the orange fizz but glad you've swapped products. I'm trying everything this week and making a list of what i really like so think next week will be much easier! X

I'm the same and on day 3. Going to forget to scales until weigh in wednesday. Not bloated so maybe less in inches!!

I'm finding water ok - fill four bottles and put them in the fridge and then have tea/coffee. But still not doing well with soups or porridge - talk about gaggin ha! Xx

Good idea! The shakes are fine but not keen on porridge or soups.....after two spoonfulls of porridge at lunch, i couldn't eat eat anymore!! Will be better when i can have the bars! I'm finding lunch hardest and disguising awful tastes in front of others! How are you getting on? X

I'm on day two.....some of these products are not great but ploding on! How are you all doing. X

Started today so here goes..... X

Wow well done, you look great! Very encouraging, enjoy your holiday xxx
