Pants! I had a very disorganised week of not really trying all that hard. I ate a lot less, I haven't been using all my healthy extras and I've gained almost a pound. 0.8 of a pound, to be precise, and that was at 7 pm tonight after a 45 minute walk at a brisk pace and 45 minutes of gardening -...

I love an omelette or frittata in the mornings! The joys of being a Hausfrau - no rush in the mornings. So, breakfast is often onions, mushrooms, courgettes, Canadian bacon, cooked in a non-stick omelette pan sprayed with Fry Light. Pour over a pot of Egg Beaters (egg whites in a little pot...

I sat and watched 'The Men Who Made Us Fat' on BBC2 tonight. Two more parts to come: I really do recommend, if you're in the UK, you watch out for a repeat or catch it on the iPlayer. Really thought-provoking stuff.

2.6 pounds off for me this week! Very happy with that, seven pounds off in three weeks is the best I've done in over a year!

Week 3, and 2.6 pounds off! Pretty pleased with that. Takes me to seven pounds off since I started SW (unfortunately the SW website has an incorrect start weight as I was heavier the day I started by two and a half pounds than I was the previous day!) so I am still shy of my first half stone...

Hi Jezzi! Our two Norwegian Forest boys are mental enough (and large enough) to make up at least four red cats between them. And Kit secretly wants to be a red cat, too, at least she's working on matching them for bulk. Bless her, she's a beachball with feet, no matter what I try! EE seems...

Saturday is also weigh in day, as I'd just re-subscribed to Weight Watchers for three months before signing up to SW; not quite sure how that happened! Anyway, I weighed exactly the same as I did on Wednesday, which I actually counted as a bonus after three or four days of Flo! This morning...

Which is the one near the big theatre, that stands almost on an island on its own? In Bradford? That's fantastic! I forget which one it is. Nawaab used to be okay, six or seven years ago. Not sure about Aagrah in town; I always thought the one on the A64 looked a little suspect.

Felt lousy yesterday! Had a lovely breakfast: kedgeree made with smoked halibut, Egg Beaters, cooked rice, peas, corn, mushrooms, a shake of cumin, and served with a pack of steamed asparagus sprinkled with Butter Buds. Really gorgeous! Come dinner time, felt horrible. I just wanted crisps and...

Well, weigh in has rolled around again! I am pleased to report a pound and a half's loss this week. A tiny bit disappointed as I have been peeking at the scales most mornings, and on Sunday was a whole half pound lighter than I am today. Still, never mind, a pound and a half is no mean feat...

Pound and a half off for me - it was going to be two pounds, but yesterday saw me a) fall head-first into fried chicken and side dishes and b) celebrate the unexpected and early arrival of Auntie Flo. Old bag! (Seriously: I was almost a whole pound lighter on Sunday morning!)

Popeye's for dinner was not my idea! If only they'd not discontinued the crawfish etouffée.... Add in the early arrival of Auntie Flo, and I am not expecting great things from tomorrow's weigh in. Which is a bit of a sod, as I saw 17 stones 13.6 on the scales on Sunday morning! Waaaaaaaaaah...

Whoops! Late lunch/early dinner featured three pieces of chicken from Popeye's, two biscuits, a spoonful of mac and cheese, a spoonful of coleslaw, a couple of spoons of red beans and rice and half a portion of popcorn shrimp. Apart from that, I had a tub of fresh fruit salad and a wholegrain...

I get very odd looks: I have a trolley full of skimmed milk, fat free this, that and the other, lean meat, fruit and veggies - with several bags of Ruffles, Combos, packs of Oreos and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. The healthy stuff is mine, the junk belongs to the husband!

I think that's been a pretty good day, all told. 13 Syns for the day is not too shoddy at all, considering I usually come in around 7.5-8 Syns daily. A goodly-sized Chinese takeaway for dinner, with lots of broccoli, mushrooms and carrots and beansprouts, although I am amazed that it comes in at...

Husband wants takeaway for dinner! I fancy a Chinese, but what to have, what to have? I've been very good at not using all my Syns since Wednesday, so I have more than the usual ten, but even still, I think I may have something I really like rather than something I'm not 100% sure about. Must...

Ah, well, if we're still here when they close down Patrick Henry Village, we'll be off up to Wiesbaden or Ramstein to go shopping once a week or so. Er, well, I will be - soon as we got married and I got that ID card, Himself totally stopped coming to the Commissary with me! All his bagger mates...

It just seemed to completely slow down my losses. I know I lost quite quickly on the previous Points-based WW plan (almost four stone from May 22 to November 1 2010), but I slogged my guts out from then on to get another stone and a bit off. Couldn't stay at my lowest weight, then I started to...

Brilliant thread! I think the US version of EE must differ slightly: 2 HEA and 1 HEB each day, 5-10 Syns per day. No red and green days on the US plan at all, just EE. I have my old SW UK books and recipe books and so on, though, so I can mix things up a bit with the help of this great thread...

Hello! I think I must have said hello in umpteen wrong places, sorry about that! Anyway, here we go again. I'm Michelle, I'm married to Dave, I'm a Brit but he's American, got married in Denmark, live in Germany, five cats, no kids, moving to Florida later in the year. Lost 5 stone 8 pounds...

Hello! Mind if I join in? I'm going it alone as I'm in Germany and there are no groups in this part of the country. I was doing WW On line, and lost 5.5 stones. ProPoints does not make me happy, and the current campaign sets my teeth on edge, so having regained two and a half stones I've gone...

Hello! I weigh in at home on a Wednesday - this week was my first full week on SW and I lost 2.8 pounds. Pretty pleased with that as I was quite swollen due to the heat and high humidity!

I feel desperately sorry for her, I really do. But, as Starlight says, if you refuse the help given you, accept that you will not live past 20 if you carry on as you are but 'can't be bothered dealing with it all right now' at age 19, how can you be helped?

New glasses duly collected. Oh dear oh dear - I need to do some serious house work! The dust! The state of the carpets! The windows! Argh! Oh dear me, the kitchen cupboard doors are awfully grubby-looking....Shows you how much your eyesight can go downhill in just four years, eh? Dear, dear.

Okay, I didn't immediately find anything similar to SuperNoodles, but I forgot to have a really good look! Real has a huge range of dried pasta and sauce products. There's a Knorr range that is meant to be healthier (I have forgotten the name of it now) and Maggi also make one. I found them...

Hello! I'm Michelle, I'm 40 (how did THAT happen?!) and have recently jumped ship from WW to SW. ProPoints just doesn't work well with me; I need a more restrictive approach to snacking on crisps and chocolate, so Syns are ideal. British but living in Germany, married (in Denmark) to an...

First things first: I am following SW on line; it's the US version; I have nothing other than a version of Extra Easy in the US notes and booklets, but have all my old SW Red and Green books including cookery books from about eight or nine years ago, so could do Red or Green days if I wanted...

I don't do mornings, either! I am also fluent in Typonese. *g*

Let me see...of course, you know how the Commissary system works - whatever sells best, or they can get an offer on. Things that they've stocked for months on end suddenly disappear (like reduced-calorie bread - the barstewards stole my bread!) Kraft fat free grated cheddar (not sure if it is...

I hopped on the scales first thing - 6.45 am - which is a fair bit earlier than usual (I follow SW on line) and was very pleased to see the same weight as I did at noon on Wednesday, when I'd slept all morning and hadn't eaten anything! While I am in the early weeks of following SW again, I am...

I joined SW online USA because a) it was about a third of the price of the UK site, and b) I'm married to an American, live near several US Army bases and shop in the Commissary so have easy access to US brands, c) I have US credit card and d) we're relocating to Florida some time in the next...

I'm not far from Mannheim and Heidelberg - Steffi Graf's home town, Bruehl, down in the south-west, in Baden-Wuerttemberg. My husband's retired USAF and works for the US Army as a contractor, hence being in this part of Germany. Sounds as though AAFES and the NAAFI have a lot in common! That...

I'm married to an American so I don't often shop locally. Well, I do, but I have never been much of a one for convenience foods of any kind. Aldi and Lidl both have lots of own brand stuff that may be similar - thing to do is to look up your favourite British products on line, check the...

Hello! I'm Michelle, and while I am not really all that crazy, I do have five cats (and I am mostly a lady). I have followed SW on a couple of occasions in the past, from the magazine, then classes, and one occasion on line. I used to do quite well for a few weeks and then get fed up, so went...
