Had a mug shot for tea (after Chinese buffet at lunch that's all I wanted)

Or you could join a SW class when you still have 7-10lb to go. Keep doing CD til you get to target (don't tell your SW consultant) then you'll be ready to do SW as a target member.

Friday Last day at work today, start new job on Monday. Chinese buffet planned for lunchtime. Going to try to eat what I want to eat without going crazy. Weetabix & Milk (HEA + HEB) Chinese buffet (lots of syns) Mug shot Water x 4 glasses Tea x 1 and coffee x 1 (0.5 HEA) 1 bottle Peroni (7...

Honk for yesterday :)

Put on 0.5 lb this week. Been 100% all week, just only ever seem to lose weight every other week. Never mind, that means I'm due a loss next week :)

Hi Ducky Healthy extras are something to have in addition to your free food and your syns, they are also important to have as they contain calcium etc... But you can only have the allowed amount of them (2 HEA, 2 HEB on Red/Green days, 1 HEA, 1 HEB on EE) any more than this should be counted as...

I understood that apart from filling you up, and using up 40 calories per glass to get cold water to body temperature. Water also makes it easier for your kidneys to process your pee (as it's weaker), so they don't need help from your liver, so your liver can get on with processing fats. Not...

Don't try to do it without eating the allowed syns, you need them to keep your metabolism active, and to stop you feeling like you're going without. I'm trying to think of this as a 'real life' diet, where you don't have to be either on or off plan, just some days require more syns than others!!

I bit into a Cadbury's Whole Nut once and found a large piece of green plastic. The £20 I received from Cadbury eased any concerns I had about the cleanliness of the plastic (although I do break chocolate into single chunks before eating now)

Welcome SkinnyAngel , I'm in a similar situation too, and I think the support on here is much better than a class, as it's there all week when you need it. Good luck x

Wednesday Busy day today, didn't get the chance to eat fruit as I usually do, and only ate half my lunch, if I'd been at home tonight I'd have struggled to stay on plan, thankfully I wasn't :) Weetabix & Milk (HEA + HEB) Pasta and roasted veg Ham & asparagus toad in the hole, salad (0.5 HEA...

Honk with 9 syns

They could obviously see what a brilliant job you've done so far, and think it's almost a foregone conclusion that you'll be at target by then. Brilliant news (even if a bit frustrating after you've given yourself such a hard time). Congratulations :)

Monday Back to normal after the weekend :) Weetabix & Milk (HEA + HEB) Fruit salad & Mullerlight vanilla Pasta salad (0.5 HEA + 2 syns) Fruit salad Chicken breast, salad, new potatoes, coleslaw (HEB + 3 syns) 20g chocolate (4 syns) Water x 8 glasses Tea x 2 and coffee x 1 (0.5 HEA) Diet...

About 5-10 a day during the week so I can stay within 105 per week with the weekends!!

Lol - I know it's more than 15, but if I'm still counting, still making healthy choices, and my weekly syns are below 105 then I'm still 100%

Honk - today had the potential to turn into a disaster, but I managed to eat everything I should, and to keep to 14 syns. :)

Wednesday So the day started off well, then one of my colleagues went to the chippy for lunch. I said no thanks when he asked if anyone wanted anything. But then he only ate half his chips, and offered the remainder between me and one of my colleagues - just too tempting. However, I'm on a...

Honk, with just 1 syn :) , made up for the weekend mischief (will have to start saving syns for next weekend now :) )

Hi sugar_lipswales, sorry to hear you're having such a tough time of it. I don't have any personal experience of what you're going through at the moment, but have been a friendly ear when some of my friends have been suffering badly with depression. I don't know if this will be of any help, but...

Honk 3 syns used (trying to undo the weekend's mischief)

Zumba and circuit training classes each week, although my new job is going to come with the benefit of 0.5 mile walk to and from the train station at each end, adding up to 10 miles a week that I can't avoid :)

Monday Back to work, and away from all the weekend temptations. Really pleased to have stuck to 3 syns, especially as I'm not remotely hungry. Helps to balance out the weekend excesses !! Weetabix & Milk (HEA, HEB) Fruit salad (pineapple, melon, strawberries, cherries) Banana Pasta...

Saturday Knowing I was going to a BBQ tonight I tried to minimise what Healthy Extras and syns I had during the day. Although if I had eaten something not long before we left I might have managed to leave the crisps and dips alone. However, I have still got 46 syns to last 5 days, so not a...

I got some Market Value fruit from Tesco this week. The pineapple was 79p and melon 80p, they also did a punnet of cherries for 90p, which is great as they're usually sooo expensive.

Mushroom omelette and beans

Last time I did SW I only lost 0.5lb first week, then 3.5lbs second week. I was always told that due to fluctuations in water levels the figure is only really a true reflection over the course of a month. Double check everything you're eating/drinking to make sure you're not going wrong, and...

I wouldn't try to last til Thursday with no syns, as that is far more likely to stop you following SW. I'd just write it off as a bad day and continue with 5-15 syns per day. SW is meant to be a lifestyle plan, and bad days sometimes happen. Good luck for the rest of the week x

I haven't done SW for a couple of years, and started this morning. I'm going to try to keep a diary for the next few weeks to keep me on track. Friday Weetabix & milk HEB HEA Fruit salad & yogurt Banana Pasta salad (2 syns) Fruit salad Chicken kebab & pitta HEB Mayo (3 syns) 2 slices garlic...
