Good luck x

I really struggle with EE and I simply cannot fill 1/3 of my plate with superfree - I just don't eat it, I push it around my plate. I am going to try and do a mixture of days a week, 2 EE, 2 Green and 3 Red and do my EE on days I know I might be going out for dinner or will struggle to stick to...

I'm still a relative newbie - can anyone explain why you're not allowed to mash your fruit :S

Have had a terrible few days so far, not stuck to the plan yday or today (although I did stick to vodka and diet pepsi last night instead of wine to minimise syns). I feel digusting and fat and really must reign this in. I was looking at photos of myself taken a few months ago compared to one...

I am enjoying SW more than WW as I find I am eating more healthily with SW and also I'm not hungry, I found I was always hungry on WW. However, I lost weigh quicker on WW so not sure if SW will work as well for me initially but hopefully it will be better for the long haul as I found WW very...

Ugh ladies help me - I've been off the wall for 2 days :( Need to reign it back in! x

Fab - well done you! xx

Thank you x

Weigh in day today. Still a bit confused with weigh ins as SW scales all over the place so taking it as a STS this week and move on and get back on the plan today! Having the girls up tomorrow night and going for lunch with my mum tomorrow so have a feeling tomorrow will not be a good day but I...

Wow that's fab - well done you! I STS this week oops, so only 2lbs off in 3 weeks but was confusing going between SW scales and my own so have left the group and just doing it at home. I'm going to Turkey too - 7 days All inclusive eeek. My mini target is to reach 1/2 stone by the first...

STS this week, but not too gutted as have only really done the plan two days this week. Hoping for a 2lbs loss by next Thursday :D x

Well STS this week but not too gutted as only stuck to the plan for 2 days this week. Aiming for a 2lb loss next week! x

Thank you xx

STS this week but pretty happy with that given that I've only been on the plan for 2 days this week oops. x

Didn't have such a great day yesterday but my shopping is now here so I have no excuse. Have lots of fruit, low syn snacks and water. Planning on doing my exercise this morning to get it out the way. My plan for today is: Breakfast - two Alpen bar lights -hex B Lunch - Dinner - SW...

Don't think I'm going to do so well tomorrow :( Had a really bad weekend so going to need to get properly back on the wagon for next week and make up for it! x

I have recently started SW in the hope that it will be a lifestyle choice rather than a diet. I thought it would be good to keep a blog of my journey for my own personal motivation so it doesn't even matter if anyone reads it lol. I am a former Weight Watchers girl, I lost almost a stone on...

Thanks :) Not too hopeful for this week but hopefully no gain. Then I'll need to start battling it if I'm going to get my half stone by September lol. x

I'm starting in the 10s (haven't been in the 10s since I was in high school before I lost my puppy fat). Spent most of my late teens and early 20s in the high 8s/low 9s and married life and hormonal issues have seen me whack on about 18lbs in a year :( Desperately want to get back to 9st...

I usually use between 8-12syns, I try and limit syns in cooking to 5 and then I can have a glass of wine with dinner or a curly wurly as a chocolate fix in the evening.

Sorry not updated girls, been manic week. Having some discrepancies over weigh ins so will put it down as a 2lbs loss overall taking me to 146lbs and will update again on Thursday. xx

Sounds good - where are you going on holiday? xx

Thanks girls, I feel much happier with my decision to just weigh in at home, I find that weekly group weigh ins just make me obsess too much about lbs and half lbs, I know that as long as I am losing that's the most important thing. I'm really enjoying the plan and enjoying my food and I feel...

Well had my weigh in on Thursday and very, very confused. When I started SW I weighed myself on the Thursday morning on my own scales and was 10st 8lbs. At WI at the meeting that night I was 10st 8lbs so that was my starting weight. After my first week I weighed myself on my own scales on...

Thank you. I only lost 0.5lbs last week but time of the month so hoping I'll see a bigger loss this week. Off to my Zumba class now. x

Can I join ladies - my weigh in day is also a Thursday. On my second week of SW. x

I think it probably would be different depending on different times of the day, my weight can fluctuate by up to 4lbs in a day. I wouldn't set too much store by your first week tbh, according to SW scales I only lost 1/2 lb in my first week last week but my clothes feel looser! So many things...

There isn't any chance you could be pregnant is there? That would account for the weeing, PMS and constipation aswell as weight gain. x

I'm up for this, want at least 14lbs off by the 7th of October for my holiday to Turkey :D x

Thanks. Looks like I'm starting at the beginning lol. Probably won't be able to get started properly until after the weekend as doing the garden all day today. Woodland girl. 100 miles, 51 to go! mandy296. 100 miles done now counting up 66.6 miles so far Pinkie1973. 100 miles, 22.7 to go...

Thanks guys, Really feel a bit more positive that I might get more of a loss this week! Going to try and do more exercise this week and drink more water too. x

Thank you :) My weigh in is a Thursday. Was my first week last week and only lost 0.5lbs :( So going to step up the exercise and water drinking this week and hopefully get at least a whole lb next week! x

Can I join ladies? I did this in the lead up to my wedding last year and want to try it again.

Can I join - stuck to the plan religiously this week, my first ever week of SW, and only lost 0.5lbs :( x

Can I join please? I would like to lose 14lbs by October :) xx

I'm challenging myself to lose a stone by the 7th of October (ideally 1st 3lbs) for my holiday as I don't want to feel like a lump in my bikini. So that's a stone in 10 weeks! Anyone else trying to lose weight for a holiday? I'm going to up the exercise and do lots of core strengthening...

on red days? Struggling a bit x

Thanks - that makes more sense and yay means I don't use syns for it :D x

Newbie here :sigh: I'm trying to work out my weekly menu and very confused. I am taking a recipe for carbonara from SW online that says on green it has 3 syns on green. But looking at the ingredients I don't understand where the syns are coming from. Can someone help? 4 rashers bacon, all...

I did wonder if that would affect it kingleds! I know you hear people getting 6lbs loss in their first week etc but usually those people have maybe a few stone to lose. x

My next goal is my half stone mark, hopefully before the end of August. x

Yeh I do like seeing the scales go down lol, last year when I did WW I used to weigh myself 3 times a week at the same time and take an average to guage weight loss as I find my weight fluctuates so much with water retention that it gives me a better idea than just one weigh in especially in the...

It looks like even on a green day I can have a little meat as a healthy extra with my dinner which is good. I am loving all the recipes on the website. I think mixing them up is a good idea, I think carbs bloat me quite a bit so having more red days is probably a good idea. trying to stay...

Yeh I am totally confused by Propoints, I got on really well on the old WW. That's one of the reasons I wanted to try SW. I've worked out alternative days this week so I'm only having 2 Extra Easy days this week, one today, then green tomorrow, then red on Sunday, extra easy Monday, green...

I am really confused as my SW leader said you could eat as much as you want and never explained about superfree foods. I do eat fruit, and I do eat some veg but mostly brocolli and cauliflower, hate carrots, peas, cabbage etc :( I also have a really fussy hubby and struggling to find recipes...

P.s not trying to sound petulant, just don't think it's going to work for me if I need to eat that amount of veg as I don't enjoy it. x

But I'm not having a big potato and only having half a can of beans :S Not sure SW is going to be for me as I hate salad and the only veg I really like is brocolli. I also thought that Muller Light was free on all the plans? :(

Always using extra lean mince, the chilli was the recipe from SW so had chillies in it - can't use onions as my husband won't eat them :S Stir fry had mushrooms and brocolli in it. I honestly don't think I could eat any more, I'm full after every meal. If I'm having Fruit n Fibre I try to add...

Thanks guys, I feel a bit better now. I've been taking extra easy recipe options from SW online that are free for most of my meals. A typical day would be: Breakfast - 2 alpen bars (Option b) Lunch - Homemade soup or baked potato with beans, muller light Dinner - chilli with boiled rice...

Just had my first weigh in last night and have only lost 0.5lbs :( I have been doing extra easy and wondering if that might be what is slowing it. I've stuck to it religiously and so gutted - was hoping for at least 2lbs off. I was thinking of trying 2 Extra Easy, 3 original and 2 green...
