    New SWer - Measuring?!!!

    I use my HEX by using things I don't need to measure - like 2 alpen light bars or 2 weetabix or 5 crackerbreads or 3 minibaby bels etc. I do have scales and use them when I do need them, but as a busy working mum I don't have time to measure so buy the things that don't need measuring. Anna x

    DOING SW FROM HOME???

    Hello, Well I have lost 2ib this week making me at the 2 stone mark! I am very happy as I have had a bit of chocolate this past week (stressed) but haven't been eating much due to worry so probably helped a bit. I am now in single figures (well 9st 13ib) but I can now say I am 9 stone...

    DOING SW FROM HOME???

    Hi everyone, I weighed in a day earlier this week due to not being at work in the morning (where I normally weigh-in) and I have stayed the same. I am happy with that though as I have had a few chocs this week (and another indian take away!) my little boy isn't well at the moment and been a...

    Extra Easy Absolutely gutted - I've put on weight in my second week!!!

    Sorry to hear you gained - its a horrible feeling if you do not know why. I too used to do SW 10 years ago in the days of red / green and started again last year. I have not done one EE day as just couldn't get my head around it, and there is no way I could do 1/3 superfree on each meal, so I...

    Extra Easy Superfree struggle

    Hello, I am Anna too! I used to do SW around 10 years ago when it was 'old school' red and green days only. I started again August last year after gaining 3 stone after having a baby and got introduced to the extra easy. As I was old school I couldn't get my head around extra easy and there...

    Do you talk about your weight (outside of here of course)!

    I never shared my weight with anyone until I told my friend at work that I got my club 10 award and she asked me how much had I lost until that point - she figured it out knowing how much I lost with losing 10% (if that makes sense!)

    "Playing catch up for last week" FACT OR FICTION

    For me, it definelty is a fact. Back in September, I went out and went off plan for one day and ate normal and a bottle of wine and I lost 3ib the week after but gained 1/2ib the following week even though I was 100% on plan. Then in October it was my birthday and I had 3 seperate occasions...

    went off plan big style yesterday!

    Well done, that is what I did when I went out with work the other week, had naughty food and bottle of wine! But the next day was straight back on it. You may find you will gain in 2 weeks though and not next week, I gained 1/2 ib this week and I have been 100% all week so can assume it was my...

    Classes certificates

    My C gives out certificates along with the stickers but she has been off sick for a few weeks and the replacement C doesn't buy the certificates so people (me included on my 1/2 stone) didn't get one. Didn't bother me too much but reckon they should be included and the C's shouldn't have to buy...

    Hello, I don't do EE but did you have your 1/3 of superfree with every meal or snack? I think that is what you have to do with EE. I personally prefer red / green days. Have you got a food diary, maybe post it and someone could look and advise? Sorry I am not much help xx
