Anyone doing this at the moment, I just started again yesterday so did Week 1 Day 1!

Down 1.5lbs since last week so 11st 6.5lbs. Here's to a positive week to come!!

Hi Everyone, I haven't been on in months, but am currently 11st 8lb and working my way down to the 10's. Hoping to hit this milestone by Christmas.

Weighing in at 12st 3.5lb at the moment so really hoping I won't be with you guys too long, planning on doing red days this week!

Hi Guys, I haven't been on SW in a few years, had my third baby 10 months ago and need to get my act together, I weighed in on Tues at 12st 10lbs. Have a wedding in 5 weeks and would love to be down to 12st by then or even moving into the 11's!!! What plan do you guys all do?

I weigh every morning and I find it helps me stay in control, as sometimes I kid myself that I am having a good day and if then I am up it helps me cop on the next day!

Thanks a mill, will download it right now!!!!

Thanks! Trying not to get too ahead of myself so for now want to get down to just under 11 stone and then take it from there, otherwise I give up as it seems so far away!:(

Who are the apps by? I am in Spain and sometimes can't get the same apps, I can see one called Ultimate Value Diary for 2.39€ it's a red heart with a white first aid style cross in the middle made by Fenlander Software? Sorry just don't want to buy it if it's the wrong one!

Good Luck, you will do great! I am new to WW pro points too, I did the old system and last year did SW but like you was not exercising any control over my portions of carbs, so want to be more restrictive! First week went well and was down 3lb! What's the app called I would love to have...

Thanks I was delighted!

Can I join you all, I have always done WW but last year when it changed to PP I changed to SW to give it a shot and enjoyed it and lost 16lbs in 2 months but then spent the rest of the year going up and down not sticking to plan. I decided to come back to WW as I know I need the discipline of...

Down 3lb this week if someone could update me please :-)

Good on you Sadie, delighted she was embarrassed about her behavior, sorry I didn't comment before but haven't been on as much the last few weeks (which I think I need to sort out), so had to go back a few pages to find out what happened last week! Ur dead right not to let her get in the way of...

Good on you Dewinter!! It's a great feeling completing it! sofartogo I have done no exercise since, I had visitors for 2 weeks, then my twins started nursery two weeks ago so was settling them in, then had one or other sick since last week, one with bronchitis at moment. All excuses I know as I...

Dewinter, WOW last week, sorry I haven't been on in ages, just been hectic for me with visitors and then my boys started nursery last week so our whole daily schedule has changed! It's gone way too hot for me to run so that's me done running until winter which by then I will have to start the...

Well done busywoman and good luck! I'm down 2lb this week, delighted as thats my first stone gone! Now at 11st 9.5lbs.

Been on hols since start of June and weigh in today see's my total loss for June so far as 1lb if someone could update me please!

Hi everyone, great losses going on in my absence! I was on hols for two weeks and put 1lb on last Thursday, this morning at weigh in was down 2lb so happy with that, now at 11st 11.5lb, hoping to kick my ass into gear, only need 1.5 to my first stone!!

I've been on holidays and off plan for two weeks and last week at the end of that was up 1lb which wasn't too bad considering the amount of meals out. This week down 2lb so back on track!

Don't repeat days just keep going, you will do it somehow!

Definately but once they recommend a model you could always compare the price online to see if you get a better deal. Eatwell yes I go out by 7am otherwise its too warm and thats only going to get worse now!

Sorry yes I would advise getting analyzed too just here in Spain I didn't have that option so only choice was DIY as best I could!

Can someone add me again for 6lb as I've disappeared!!!

I bought ASICS and my god the best buy, they are brilliant, this website has them for really good prices Ladies Running Shoes - Ladies - SportsDirect.com you just determine your foot type first to decide on the actual model, nimbus seems to be a very good recommended model, I did it by the "wet...

Can you send me a link to the asics training plan? My other half was working early the last few days and tomorrow too, so havent done anything since Wednesday!

Dewinter, 10k timewise in mornings is too long, just gonna keep up the 30min ones for now and try improve speed. You will do it I had to really work on my breathing on week 7, making sure to take deep ones as I was getting out of breath even though going at a slow speed! You will get to week 9...

Can someone add me please, I want to try to lose 6lbs in June!

Dewinter don't get disheartened, I had a few days like that and it was like my legs were dead weights.

Down 1lb this week so 11st 12.5.

Lol me too, at about 6am when I have a wee I check it then another few times up to 8:30 which is official weigh in time, it will generally be less at 8:30 than 6am. I find it keeps me on track as a weekly weigh in is way too much scope for me to tell myself what I'm eating is right and I will...

LOL, eager beaver!!!

Thanks for the replies, yesterday I used mine on a small bag of walkers and a 2 finger kit kat and was feeling very bad about it. I generally use 12-15 per day and my weight loss is slow so I was wondering was this why was I using too many syns on chocolate!!

Yipeee I am a C25K graduate :D finished week 9 day 3 this morning!!!! Dewinter I can't believe you are into week 6 already, by day 3 you're on the home run.....! Sweet Pink, welcome!

I had twin boys 18 months ago!!!

How many syns a day would you use on treats like biscuits, chocolate, crisps, alcohol etc? And how many syns do you use in a day?

Lol I was as bad, knew at 4 weeks, couldn't wait and then couldn't believe it!

I agree I found the less repetitions easier! I looked at the Bridge to 10k app but for me time wise it's 53-70mins I can't do that, on c25k it starts off at 40mins (Inc stretches 5 mins at start and finish) and by week 9 it's taking me 50 mins and I am defo feeling the pressure time wise of...

A huge congrats, it's so exciting being pregnant, how many weeks are you?

Oh well done Clareel and Sofartogo, I am ashamed to say I didn't get up to do it this morning as I was so tired, its no excuse as I was tired every morning for the whole challenge, I literally did it every second day since I started and now its the last day what's wrong with me?? I did day 2 on...

I too get frustrated t the slowness when I see those around losing 3-6lb weekly, but WOW u are half way there you can do it!

I didn't get out to do my last run this morning as one of my boys had me awake with his teeth so only got 4hrs sleep and was wrecked. Also we have no water from 9am-6pm today so had to get us all washed and dressed before this time, so all in all decided to leave it until tomorrow morning...

I too found it very hard at the start and if you read back through this thread I suffered with a lot of pain with shin splints and knees. Amazingly I like sofartogo am on my last run in the morning to complete the challenge, I have to say though I don't enjoy it just like the achievement and how...

Turned out lovely, thanks for your help!

Most people giving recipes say use plenty but as it's free is there a limit to how much you use? Just wondering cos roast veg is much better when you use plenty!

Thanks girls, it's in the oven now so hopefully it will turn out ok!!!

I have never made a Sunday roast before and want to do the meat and roast potatoes and probably some carrots all in the oven at the same time, but I don't know how to fit it all of whether I use a baking tray (that came with the oven) or Pyrex dishes sitting on the wire rack, can anyone advise?

Yipppeeee Sofartogo..........we are nearly free!!!!!!!!

Wow, very impressed, what are you doing for such great losses? Which plan do you follow? Any tips?

Biggysmalls your right to trust your instincts! I did week 9 day 1 today, didn't find it any harder than week 8 but I have to say (and I think I am the only one) but I don't particularly enjoy it, I find it boring :-(

Yep just in bed looking up my book and I should have syned my potatoes or in turn syn the chicken and be a green day.... OOOOPS that's why I needed it checking, don't want to be all delighted with myself to find out am doing it completely wrong! Thanks

Icklekimmy well done!!! Can someone familiar with red days check what I ate today as I never did red before and want to check I got it right, as sometimes you can't see the obvious yourself!!! Red Day Breakfast: Fruit salad: melon, strawberries, apple, grapes & pineapple Hifi bar (HEB 1)...

Mmm must look up the Quiche & Scotch egg recipes they both sound lovely!

I have thought about this a lot since starting SW as I have found my losses slow, I know in time they slow down but I would have thought I could have lost the first stone quicker as I stick to the plan! TBH I thought about doing red/green days but needed the time on EE to get my head round it...

Thanks I found it! I'm really delighted, makes it worth my while now to have green days, had one today! Had Philadelphia yesterday, today and leftovers for tomorrow!!!

WOO HOO Sofartogo, what a massive achievement, which you wouldn't have believed 8 weeks ago, I'm very proud of you (even though I don't know you ....lol). Hard to do with everyone watching you, and to run the whole thing start to finish, WOW!! Sleepy & Dewinter glad you got through another day!

dirtydancing where can I find new Healthy Extras online (I'm an online member) as maybe there are others not in the books I am missing out on!

Wow thanks a million for this, it will make a difference for me as at the moment I struggle to use my HEA anyway so then doing a green day doesn't offer me much advantage but this would!!! Thanks for posting!

Bobsledwheels thats brilliant, some weeks you dread then end up better than you thought! I did week 8 day 2 today! Karen.hat (week 2 day 3 complete) Margery Dawe (week 3 Day 1 ) ChocolateTrish (week 3, day 1 done) misspinky8 (week 1 day 0) Mrsplymdaz (week 1, day 1 done) Nymple (Week 6, Day 2...

HPSaucy.....yippeeee!!! Dewinter glad you're feeling a bit better. Look at my weight loss, its also slow 7lbs in 5 weeks and this week lost 2lbs but being honest I weigh at home and the scales is never the same so I could stand on it 10 times and get different readings, this morning I just...

Those of you who have finished the programme do you still jog a few times a week? I am so dying for it to be finished wonder without the challenge of getting to the end will I have the motivation to keep it up!?

Please don't beat urself up over this, you were out there making an effort and really that's what its all about, you could have not bothered, it is hard to run past someone so not pathetic at all especially at week 1 where you have no confidence. My app has a journal which I kept from week 2, so...

thanks girls I will give them a try!

Large lump well done, it's a great feeling, delighted for you ;)

Ellebear, just seeing your photos in your signature and all I can say is WOW!!!! You look amazing, you are an inspiration!

Wow sofartogo, you go girl!! Paula Pudding well done, I love getting to the end of a week!! :) Dewinter, take care, maybe have a look at your runners/trainers as I was getting really bad knee pain wearing my nike shox and bought ASICS and the pain is gone, amazing difference.

Wow well done everyone we are all doing so well, it's great!! I go out first thing too as otherwise if I did it in the evening would probably never find time, again I get my boys to bed I am whacked, they never stop all day full of energy then I have to tidy the bomb site they created! It is...

I would disagree burning calories is all about your heart rate and mine definitely goes way up when running compared to walking and if I can run and do my exercise in half the time it takes to walk the same distance then I'd prefer to do that. Its a challenge you set yourself and besides...

Sofartogo, what runners did you get? How many 5km is your race? I defo think adrenalin will kick in on the day, you have done all this program me urself with no one forcing you or watching you, I think with others watching/present you will be spurred on even more! I have my next run in the...

Wow you look amazing, well done, you must be so proud of yourself!

Thanks Circes!

Well done Eatwell, ye defo the podcasts for whatever reason keep me more on track and into it. Anyone using the "bluefin" iPhone app you can download an additional one it advertises for 79 cent and this is what tells me the distance, calories, pace etc, its very good, keeps a journal or it all...

Me too! And I hop on and off a few times hoping it will make a difference :D

Thanks girls I'm over my strop now!!! I have literally done it every second morning since I started and really don't want to break the routine! Thanks HP tried that, was onto Apple support who were great and they will pick it up on Monday to repair or replace I will be without it for about a...

I weighed 2 slices and they weigh 85g so need to syn 28g worth which is 3 syns!! I also don't really know the difference between brown & wholemeal bread!? Only wholemeal is hex so I picked that anyway!

I can't get extra lean mince beef here in Spain we have an Iceland and I can get lean, but wondering how many people use "lean" drain the fat (very little on this one) off and don't syn it? And how many do syn it? I do SW online so no consultant to ask?

Dewinter, ye I am a bit nervous running in the rain incase I fall as the paths are so slippy. Sofartogo, fair play to you, I DO NOT look forward to doing this (of course I love the achievement) so I think you are great to be so enthusiastic about it. HPSaucy, the first time going to the gym has...

Thanks for all the replies I guess the only way to know is try them, just sort of need to get a whole different menu plan going!!!

STS this week and forgot to add last weeks so in total down 1lb :cry: better buck up!!! acc - 8lb (0lb lost - 8lb to go) aislingb - 8lbs (0lbs lost - 8 lbs to go) Alilou21 - 6lbs (0lbs lost - 6lbs to go) Athens -7lbs (0lbs lost - 7 lbs to go) Babybuffy84 - 6lbs (0lbs lost - 6lbs to go)...

Gym will be good to do some weights as that will help build muscle which burn off more calories, I think if you did a mix would be good, when my little guys start nursery in Sept I plan on going to the gym!

STS this week, disappointed I just feel since week 1 it's just getting slower and I really wanted a good start to keep me motivated and very hard when I see so many others down 3-5lbs. Good luck everyone else today :-)

Bloody hell, well done!!! So jealous how have you managed that? I think I will be lucky to sts if I dont gain and am sticking to plan and doing c25k every second day!

Well done biggysmalls, I went out in the rain the other morning as I didn't want to start making excuses! HPSaucy wow only 3 days left must be a good feeling!!!

Thanks for that!

I started SW 5 weeks ago and just chose EE plan for handiness, now I have that in hand I am wondering the advantages of green/red as the only ones I can see are extra HeX for that day and really if that choice is pasta/rice on red or meat/fish on green then I have them anyway free on EE, I don't...

To be honest Eatwell I am not sure if it has, I wish I had of done my measurements too and keep saying I will now so I must. I had twins 18 mths ago by caesarean and have been left with a big scar and a pouch so I think my belly will take a lot of work! I am also quite critical of myself too so...

Great thanks for those replies!

Have read through SW FAQ's and can't find anything to say what's the latest you can eat, on WW we were told recently it doesn't matter how late you have your dinner it doesn't effect weight loss. Here in Spain the normal time for dinner is 8/9pm and breakfast is 9am! Just wondering is eating...

Ah delighted for you, a great achievement, hope to be over there with you in a few weeks!!!

LOL that might have been the problem alright so!! What types of dishes have you all made with it to give me some ideas!!

I am the same Eatwell it puts me in good form for the day and it's great that it's over with before the day begins so not hanging over my head! I find the support on here great too as I do be dying to post I have done another day, I think we appreciate what each other is doing more so than...

Girls have you the option to go first thing in the morning, that's what I do just get up and go first thing normally about 7:30am means I have no time to make excuses or get distracted!

I only made one sauce with it so far and found it went all bitty and wasn't mad on the texture either!

Dewinter, you will do it!

I am seeing this used in receipes and wondering if on any plan it's a HeB?

I am getting mixed up as to what I can have as HeB on EE as one thing says 57g and other says 2 slices of a 400gram pack but I can't see what difference the size of the whole loaf is, I use 2 slices of medium slice wholemeal bread by Roberts, is this ok?

Large lump its hard not to look ahead but you can do it, you will feel before like you can't but you will and afterwards will feel so proud of yourself!

Men do lose weight so much easier though, it does my head in how much my fella can eat and not put on weight! Or if he tries to lose weight can do it very easily, don't let it get you down!

Only down 1lb didn't make target but close enough! Aislingb 9 lbs ( .5 lbs to go 8.5 lost) alwyn 7lbs (lbs to go, lbs lost) Amandaj 8 lbs (2lbs to go, 6lbs lost) Ammsas 6lb (3lb to go 3lb lost) Anna_vixen 7lbs (7lbs to go - 0lbs lost) Bebe_Butters 9lb (4.5lbs to go - 4.5lb lost)...

That's great, it's just such a sense of achievement when your done isnt it? And coming on here and sharing it helps too as others know what you have actually achieved! Ye defo investigate the new runners esp as this could be a new form of exercise in the long term!

Well done you, fair play to you, in what way did you find it easier??!! I did week 5 day 2 today with the 8 min runs and my god the new runners made the world of difference like comparing sleeping on a cement floor to a nice firm springy mattress!! Cant see how I will manage the 20 mins on...

I too started this dubiously nearly 4 weeks ago when I started SW and I nearly died on day one jogging the 1 minute. This morning I did Week 5 Day 2 where I am up to jogging 8 mins x 2 and on Thursday its a 20 minute jog, and I can do it!!! It's a great programme and will build you up slowly...

Please can someone add me I would like to be 144lbs by then so 28lbs to lose for me!

TwinkleToes, hope you don't mind me asking but which plan do you follow, your losses are brilliant and I am feeling a little disheartened this week, sorry if this isn't really the right place to post this!

Thanks me too :-) how did week 6 day 1 go? I started it the same time as starting SW so don't know if I would loose more/less if I wasn't exercising and I am finding it hard this week with SW, I do find it hard to only loose 1lb after all the effort and cost involved in the meals, shopping &...

Capricorn, 9 stone in a year I am gobsmacked what an amazing achievement, you are an inspiration and your sister must be very proud watching over you. Mine is to be able to look in the mirror and like what I see rather than feel disgust at myself for allowing myself to become like this, I...

Eatwell, that's what I would have done had I have had the time I would have checked them out and bought online as that sportsdirect have great prices but just would have taken too long, I need to resolve this pain now! And I think he was an a*sehole to be like that to you but at least u got...

Eatwell, snap.... The pain of shin splints has moved on over the last 4 days or more to knee pain, and it's definately from the impact of running, felt like I might even have to stop for awhile but so didn't want to as would be back to square one and might loose motivation! So I went today to...

I had the buttons out of the one of kids eggs!!

Great thread, thanks

Thanks Circes, hadn't even seen that section :-)

Can anyone tell me how many syns would be in chinese takeaway "singapore noodles with chicken" thinking of having tonight!

Well done that's brilliant!

Good luck! Let us know how you go!

Wow well done, that's a brilliant achievement!

I did Week 5 Day 1 today and I have to say the repetitions being less help cos each run you seem to get through so then when it's over there are less ahead of you! It's true it really does build you up, last week when starting week 4 I thought oh my god how am I gonna run 5mins then today did 5...

I don't use BMI, when. My goal is 9st 7lb as this was a weight before I was very comfortable at, but really I am taking it stone by stone first as that seems so far away!

Yeah another week done!!! Karen.hat (week 2 day 3 complete) Margery Dawe (week 3 Day 1 ) ChocolateTrish (week 3, day 1 done) misspinky8 (week 1 day 0) Mrsplymdaz (week 1, day 1 done) Nymple (Week 6, Day 2 Complete) sofartogo! (Week 5, Day 2 Complete) millie09 (Week 9, Day 3 Complete...

Well done everyone!!!

Ah thanks!!

Welcome and well done getting started! Lol I am so slow jogging its not even funny, but I reckon once its mastered it can be improved so don't be worrying about that!

Sugar plum I feel the exact same if I am honest in the lead up to starting SW I was hoping to be one of the people who was losing 4-6lb per week and be at target it two months, but hello I am dreaming, it took me along time to put this weight on and slow but steady is obviously the way my body...

Down 2lb for me this week!

Down 2lb for me this week! So now 2lb to go!! Can someone update me as I don't want to copy and paste because the last one seems wrong too as Trefoils says 2lb to go and she only has 0.5lb!?

Down 2lb for me this week! Now at 12st 4lb.

Down 2lb for me this week! Some of you have long signatures, I wanted to add more goals but it tells me my signature is too long, what am I doing wrong?

Don't even think about it just concentrate on the day you're on!!!

I have read elsewhere that asics (think that's the name) are the best runners for running or to go to a proper running shop to get advice and fitted, I am suffering very bad with shin splints and I think this could be part of the reason that my footwear is not good enough! I go out very early...

Wow, well done that's fantastic!!!! How were you starting it? Trefoil sorry to hear you can't do it.

HP, week 8 is: Brisk five minute warmup walk, then jog 28 minutes. Finish with a five minute cooldown walk! So same as week 7 but increasing the 25 min jog to 28. Bet you wished you didn't ask now!!!

Well I found today hard, felt very weak when I came back in, I do stretches both before and after but the front part of my lower legs still kill me! Karen.hat (week 2 day 3 complete) Margery Dawe (week 3 Day 1 ) ChocolateTrish (week 3, day 1 done) misspinky8 (week 1 day 0) Mrsplymdaz...

I use the iPhone app for this but as far as I know it should record my distance and calories etc but it doesn't and I can't find how to do it, anyone know?

Yes it's for 125g serving, I thought the same that the restaurant things would be as they come otherwise I'd rather have something else but thought then maybe I was kidding myself! In our Chinese we have Singapore noodles with chicken as a dinner which is nice, anyone any die how many syns...

In the book it says restaurant crispy duck is 10.5 syns, does this mean you can eat the fat or not?

Can I join you all? I have completed week 3 and tomorrow start week 4, dreading it!!! Find it a great program as only 30mins and every second day so I can always push myself to do it, I do it first thing at about 7/7:30am so then it over with for the day. Like that after 3 days it changes so no...

Can I join you all? I started SW just over 2 weeks ago starting at 12st 10, lost 4lb so far so now am at 12st 6, really want to get into the 11's! Soontobeslim, WOW how did you do it???

Thanks for all the advice girls, at the moment it's all I have time to do as I have 17 month old twin boys! It's the couch to 5k I am doing too, just finished week 3!

The day I started SW just over 2 weeks ago I also started exercising every second day, I go for a 30min walk/jog, each week building up the jogging. I am wondering how starting exercise at the same time effects your weightloss, anyone had any personal experience?

Ellebear just read you stats and I am so amazed at your results you must be so determined and its paying off, well done!! You're an inspiration to me as a newbie!

Down 1lb today not great but at least its something! aislingb 9 lbs ( 4.5 lbs to go 4.5 lost) alwyn 7lbs (lbs to go, lbs lost) Amandaj 8 lbs (5 lbs to go, 3 lbs lost) Ammsas 6lb (3lb to go 3lb lost) Anna_vixen 7lbs (7lbs to go - 0lbs lost) Bebe_Butters 9lb (8lbs to go - 1lb lost) Berniegray242...

I am down 1lb :cry:not too impressed with that but overall down 4lb in two weeks isnt bad, a good week ahead planned to help with a better loss next week!

Thanks Laura, just wanted to make sure it was ok to do it that way!

Oops sorry girls posted on the "syn value" section as I was getting syns for lots of free things like Muller Lights, turns out I wasn't using the drop down box for the "free allowances" on the calculator, so now I know how to use it they come up free!!! Had my first one the strawberry tart one, yum!

Thanks so much, eh feel like an ejit to say I didn't even see those drop down boxes so no wasn't clicking the free food allowance, I really knew I was missing something because I was getting syns for a few "free" things! Have now used it and practiced with natural yogurt, a normal low fat...

:confused: As I am in a different country I have to use the online syn calculator for everything as we dont have a lot of brands that are discussed on here but what's confusing me is the likes of fat free natural yogurt is syn free as are Muller lights, yet if I put all the data into the...

If my book says 10g butter is 3.5 syns if I only have 5g do I count it as half for example, I mean this as a general question, if you divide the portion down or up do you just divide the syns equivalently? One of the sauces I use is 340mls of water to 85grams of powder, the online calculator...

I have just syned them online with the calculator and I too get that they are 3 syns!

I'm down 3lb, can someone update me too pls?

Can I join you all? I'm doing it myself as I live abroad and we don't have classes here, Thursday is my weigh in day and this was my first week, down 3lb so happy with that!!

Thanks girls!

Can someone add me, it's my first week but hope to lose 8lb this month?

I'm only on week one and have come to more or less the same conclusion that I would rather make things normally or slightly better than normal and syn it than have it free, tried 5 recipes this week and only 1 would I consider again!! As others say though it's different for everyone we need to...

Hi everyone, I've just started SW last Thursday and am on day 5 today, going good so far. I use 120mls of semi skimmed milk as my HE but I should be having 250mls, I don't drink tea or coffee so don't use anymore during the day. Will it stop me losing weight if I don't use it all? Should I...
