Hey everyone.. I too lvoe the scales! it's a really good feeling when you've lost 1/2lb or something! The thing is apparently you're weight can fluctuate between a couple of lbs per day so really its pointless to weigh daily.....I did for a while and wrote it down just as an experiement...

Hey there, I have been here.....i put on 3lbs a couple of weeks ago during “star week”. I was so gutted. The week after I lost 2.5 and this week 1.5 so lost then again now…I think SW is about lifestyle change, everyone says that but its so true. I now don’t eat a packet of crisps and sandwich...

Hi everyone, Has anyone made the low syn fish & chips? I'm going tk treat myself tomorrow and make it.....slightly worried about the breadcrumbs. I don't have a food professor to blend the crumbs, could I use pre packed breadcrumbs from the supermarket or could I just crush up some toast?! :S...

Hi All, Can I ask why everyone does SW when yuou eat WW food? I was on WW but switched to SW...as I was eating too much rubbish on WW..I do miss it though..but I love that on SW you dont have to weigh meat!

:confused: I'm a weight watchers girl who has switched to SW as it feels healthier choice...on WW I found myself bingeing on chocolate + crisps, having a healthy lunch and i was still in my points allowance... Here's my food diary.... Bdfast: Porridge (HEX A + B) with some honey + dried...
