I really loved doing EESP and I did it the first week of January, I lost 5.5lbs even with a meal out. I did have 2 days where I had a fat free yogurt so class them as 95% days. I would recommend anyone doing it that you read, read and read what you can have, plan, make sure you have your plate...

i am one of those who eat what I want after WI and still lose, but then I do have lots to go! I then have the next 6 days on plan and use my syns like normal. If I was going out for a meal in the week then I wouldn't go mad after WI. Each to their own at the end of the day and as long as you...

Hey Hun,sorry to hear you're struggling. I don't have children so I can't relate in that sense but I have found that you do need to give SW 100%. It does take time to a) settle in and b) to plan. If I don't plan my food then I set myself up for a fail. i have done WW (didn't like the meeting...

Took myself to a new meeting today, having a new start and no excuses this time. i always remember hearing "if you give it 100% you'll get the results". also put down an interim target of 3 stones too. Gonna break it down and not over burden myself either.

Hello all I'm stuck,as to what to do... Our meeting had our consultant hand in her notice in April, then we had the team developer for a month, then another consultant cover whilst developer was training, now we've got another consultant until October when we get our new permanent one. all...

I've got 10st left but it's a huge thing when I think about it, it always discourages me. Got to get back on track. Agree and understand all the things on this post xx

Yesterday I didn't eat either meat feast,, vegetable or marguerita pizza from Pizza Hut that was in our office. Despite one of my male friends desperately trying to get some down me as he knows I like it and I've been helping him at work a lot. was rather proud of myself for that one as I...

Green: HEA: 40g low fat cheddar grated with dinner HEB: salted caramel hifi bar HEB: not sure yet

Yes please share your food, how much do you drink? Have you been measuring your healthy extras? How many syns do you have?

Hello, welcome to SW. I was 22st 8lbs at my heaviest and I'm so glad I found SW again as it works :) well done on your fab loss so far.

Those of us who go to group go for a reason, that reason has varying sizes and lengths of time but doesn't mean it's any less valid than the next persons! one of my close friends and her mum go, friend wants to lose the 14lbs she gained since her wedding in 2012 and her mum 1st 7lbs. To me they...

I don't have up much time in the mornings, so today is apple chunks, Sharon fruit, strawberries with fat free natural yogurt, 1 tsp (1syn) of maple syrup on top, a caramel hifi bar and a massive mug of gingerbread green tea, yummy.

Got my 2stone award tonight, only 2lb to go until my club 10 so I want that next Tuesday :-)

Also make sure you drink enough too. 6-8 mugs or glasses a day is what it says in the book x

I recommend staying to group to all, I get hugely embarrassed when it's my turn to share my week, but I now do shop and occasional weighing too. I find the tips really helpful and chatting with others is great too. plus you can get books, hifi bars and everyone is there for the same reason at...

Yesterday my SW following Mum got herself a peanut butter kitkat chunky and offered to get me similar. I went for a small two finger kitkat for 5.5 syns and a cuppa!

Tough to choose just one, I reckon having more energy to go walking or being able to look good in jeans and not have extra bulges where there shouldn't be any!

I have poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and every time I lose weight they start to get back to my weird 5 week cycle. I think it's to do with the oestrogen being released?

Friday 13th june - green B) 2 x w/meal 400g loaf slices toast, banana, 1tsp acacia honey- 1 syn snacks) blueberries, strawberries, mullerlight yogurt, melon chunks, snack a jacks cheeky chutney curls-3.5 syns lunch) very naughty but nice small portion of cheese, chips and BBQ sauce at pub...

I limit myself to one meal a week 'off' but I still try to choose wisely so I minimise the effect. SW does say that the odd occasion to enjoy yourself and then get straight back on won't hurt, just have to ensure you don't let yourself Carry on the days or meals off. it hasn't ever affected my...

My tips; 1) plan all your food, use what's in your freezer and buy frozen bits where you can as they tend to work out cheaper. 2) consider using Aldi/Lidl to get some shopping (I can't get all my SW bits there tho, but what you can get does help with food costs) 3) do a boot sale if you have...

Mine is to get my 2stone award, if I could lose 2.5 lbs by Tuesday then I'll get it. Also my 10% award in 5lbs time will be after that.

Was also going to suggest the treat it as a brand new experience thing, read your books daily and plan your shopping so you get SW friendly bits in, I find that when I 'lose my way' I have to put a determined mindset on. I'm writing down everything, upping my speed food and flick through my...

I'm going to a pub tomorrow with work friends, deciding what I want that isn't greasy. Definitely don't want chips.

Thursday 12th June - hungry day (hormonal cause!) - green day breakfast; oat so simple porridge, winter pudding flavour - HEB + 1 syn, topped with sliced banana, blueberries and a teeny half tsp acacia honey- 1/2 syn (1 and 1/2 syns) work snacks through day; banana, grapes, blueberries...

Thank you, am taking the bull by the horns at the mo!

Hello all, I do a mix of EE and green days, I don't like the texture of a lot of meat anymore. I work Mon-Thurs in a busy office so thought I'd start a diary to share what I have Weds 11th June - EE day breakfast: Oat so simple porridge (sultanas, raisins, cranberry & apple flavour) HEB + 2...

This is great, the changes really are noticeable aren't they :)

Yesterday I just posted about Tastebuds changing, I used to love a Mountain Dew bottle on days where I was feeling exhausted,now I know I couldn't bare to drink the stuff as the lure of sugar has gone. Definitely give diet a try but also ensure you are actually hydrated as if you're not then it...

Thanks for replying both :) cloudy that's exactly me too. I am definitely going off sweet things. I'm much happier with a plate of SW chips instead of a choccy bar now.

Mine was building our first triple wardrobe in our house, there was a lot of standing whilst hubby did the manly bits of screws, hammering etc and as I carry most my weight round my middle, the weight was actually hurting and pulling at me. I had to keep sitting down to ease it. It took so much...

I'm having a green day today, just had my 2nd HEB..salted caramel hifi bar and it tasted so sweet it wasn't actually as nice as it was when it first came out. I also had a little bit of a milky bar and again it tasted so sweet..like I could just taste the sugar grains. Whereas before this SW...

Do you use a chip mesh? I swear by mine! Quickachips Oven Chips Tray: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

What about ryvita crackerbread, which are 1 syn each and are in a yellow box? Sold alongside 'normal' ryvitas. I had two today with some low low cheese spread. Gave me the low syn cheese crunch I wanted.

Can't say I've heard this before, SW is made to be low fat too? X

I find if I have more than one egg and also have one egg two days in a row get really slow & smaller movements. Also try having fruit and yogurt instead or porridge with a sandwich for lunch occasionally to mix things up a bit? X

I don't see the problem with this, although 5 syns a day is the minimum we're allowed isn't it, so maybe drop to 5 and store the other 10? Cutting back but not being without syns seems to be better x

well done you! Thanks for the welcome too. i went to a WI today, rather than my usual Tues night and lost another 2.5lbs. So 5lbs gone in two weeks! I am proper chuffed with that xx

Welcome back :)

I'd love a buddy. I have 9 stone to go! Lost 1st 10lb so far. I'm 29. i work Mon-Thurs & my hubby wears 32inch waist jeans, eats whatever and doesn't gain. I just look at a cake and gain! Xx

Yep just go for it Hun. I joined a gym and go alone, was scared that people would be like 'what's that fatty doing here'. But it's not, I just do my thing and other do theirs.

Always have cheese as a HE and syn the dashes of milk I have in my 2 regular cups of tea a day :)

I'm just into the 19st bracket :)

asda meat free burgers x 2, SW chips and random vege to use fridge contents..cucumber, carrots and maybe pepper too.

I don't but I would love to have a pebble jar x 2. I weigh in on the SW website and bought myself off Ebay a little plaque that has a blackboard on it with text to say how many lbs lost this week, in total and how many to go :)

I wish I only had a stone to lose! One of my best friends has joined my class with a stone to lose, she's 5'7 and 10st 8lb. She wants to lose 1st 1lb to get to 9st 7lbs x

Woo hoo! That's great to hear.

Well done :) I'm also losing as I 'm a bridesmaid next May. You've given me a boost :)

Yes, definitely! It's such a motivation :D

I have a treat every week after WI with my Mum. We have warburtons sandwich thins, cheese and other bits. It's just something we enjoy and gives us a little boost. I know it can be seen as making food a reward, it's personal for all but it doesn't affect our losses and we're straight back on...

Can I join you all? i'm a group member which I really love and weigh on a Tues night normally. I'm 29 and work in Insurance mon-Thursday :)

Yep you're fine with using all your syns, it's what they're there for.

I thought they tasted more like fudge instead of salted caramel or the taste of Butterkist. i would get them again but only occasionally, I think they aren't quite worth 6 syns and I prefer having two of the hifi lights personally.

Well done for your choices in a time of crisis, thats something to be proud of too :) we started SW at a similar time and a similar weight. Well done on your losses so far, I hope to get into the 19st bracket tomorrow too.

On Friday and Saturday just gone, Asda had the 6 pack of Mullerlights for £2 including the dessert packs. I don't like the cake bits but I do love the flavourings of the Banoffee and Apple Pie. They did have the cappuccino on its own but I'm not a coffee fan so didn't get any of them.

Yes me too, I was just having a Batchelors Cup A pasta but I was getting hungry, so I now have a warburtons brown sandwich thin for 5 syns with ham in it. It definitely helps.

I don't believe Sainsburys or Asda sell them at the mo, not sure why though! I get from Tesco or the 3 for 2 from Twinings is good value too.

Maybe going back to group and getting the Image Therapy might help? I know when I have bad weeks I always go and stay, that way if I gain I face it and get ideas from others too. I think of the ££s as spent wisely on getting me healthy.

I had a feeling they weren't essential as their name says 'extra'. If it was mandatory part of the plan then I would expect them to have a different name? I love my daily 30g of full fat cheddar :)

I love green tea, especially the gingerbread one by Twinings. My Mum had the Twinings green tea and mint one which is good too. When I had a week of being on plan 100% and had 4-5 cups of green tea a day at least I had a great loss. Not saying it would happen for everyone though as I have a lot...

Didn't know this, thanks for the info x

I am up at 6am, leave at 7.15am ish and get in at 6 so I completely understand! i didn't really get on with mugshots either and now have batchelors cup a pasta. I love the tom & herb one or roast chicken which are free and there is a cheesy one too for 1.5syns. You just put into a mug and add...

Don't be ashamed Hun, it's a journey after all. I'm in a similar situation in that every time I get to this weight on a weight loss event I hit a mental barrier and almost am scared to go beneath it but I am determined to break it this time. It's hard tho, my old habits are still there and win...

I'm similar weight to you and wasn't ever told about having extra syns. Was told the 5-15 syns a day. Even change of consultant hasn't had anything mentioned either. anyway glad you are loosing again. Our bodies do strange things clinging to the weight!

Yes please I'm in. Need motivational goals right now :)

Yes I completely agree! My old WW meeting was exactly the same. It got right on my nerves, I nearly said something but it wasn't my place. It's so rude.

Hello, welcome to the forum. The support on here is fab and has really helped get me through weeks where I have a wobble. I was 22st 8lbs at my heaviest. Started SW at 21st 8lb and am now at 20st 3lb since 7 jean including a week in hosp (unplanned emergency) and the 2 weeks off after too. i do...

I saw someone else say this on page 2 but what fluid do you drink, as dehydration can make you feel hungry? it takes time to adjust and break bad habits, but it doesn't matter how long it takes you as you'll get there. It's your journey remember.

Good luck with your losses, you can deffo do 40lbs by then :)

Well done you! I can't wait to have this experience :)

Hello! welcome back. I rejoined on 7th Jan and am loving it. Good luck on your journey, you can do it x

EE HeA 20g cheddar (full fat) + 2 teas with semi skim and skim milk HeB 2 hifi light bars

I've never heard that eating too much fruit would be a problem, I would say that it's good to include veg every day but that's all as it gives variety. they do say in the book that the healthy minimum is 5 fruit or veg a day but they recommend at least that and to have more!

I thought I had diabetes a year or so ago but I had tests done and was fine. i really do think it's the change of diet, also I have a habit of needing a wee twice before I fall asleep when at my parents, yet when I'm at mine I don't do it! try stopping your drinking 1-2 hours before bed and...

At our group we sit in a horseshoe shape, chat whilst everyone weighs, then she gives out awards, goes round everyone saying what they lost or a "gain" but never the amount of the gain, general talk about different things we've discovered and then slimmer of the week where that person wins the...

I used to relax on the weekend when I was on WW, however it started to creep in on other days so just be careful and don't do the same! When I did keep it to the weekend, I didn't go crazy and eat loads just more of what I fancied and I still lost but I think for me it did slow down my losses...

Green day: HeA: 40g low low grated cheese (have only had 1 cuppa and will only have 1 more tea with milk so will syn them..water and green tea have been my other drinks) HeB: 60g whole meal roll and an alpen bar later on too :-)

We're all human and slip ups happen, don't punish yourself though just get straight back on track and move on, don't dwell on it x

Brill thanks, I was wondering what these were like :)

I felt quite overwhelmed with it all and pretty much like you pbhfpunk felt that I couldn't have the porridge sachets I bought! I know with the flavoured sachets you can deduct 5 syns and have the oats as a HEB, I don't know if this applies to the pots though, sorry. if you have lots of buts...

I drink similar amount and have to stop drinking around 8pm now where I can. you might be eating foods which are 'diuretics' which make you loose water too?

I have a little more to loose than you. Yes it will be our year! X

Hello I'm rejoining SW on Tuesday and can relate to you a lot :) good luck to you too x

Yes you are so right, I must remember to do mine too.

Hello all, just wanted to say hello and that I'm so glad to be coming back to SW. i did SW with my Mum 2-3 years ago, we struggled to understand EE but always liked green or red days. I bought a house in Norfolk and went to WW as there used to be a Saturday morning meeting in the next Village...

Hello! Can I join you please? I have done SW a couple of years ago, been a WW'er recently with my Mum but she never really got WW and was hungry. Going to come back to SW and get slim!

Hi both, Just wanted to say good luck on your journey's. I used to be 22st 8lb and am now on 21st which has taken me since June 2012 as my WW meeting closed. Sending you lots of support, it's a tough journey but we have to do it and we wil do it - no matter how long it takes us. A kick up my...

Hello! Welcome to WeMITTS - I was one lb less than you last June and now I am at 21st. I haven't been in the local paper like you but I also work long days and have been big since my high school days (I'm 28 now). It is hard to get your head round some aspects of losing weight, even now having...

Hi Dan, good to see you back :) good luck x

Good start to your day so far :D WW is so good for flexibility and the weekly 49 points are great too. I'm not a bride to be, I'm in the married club and will be at 3 years next month. I wish I had done what you are doing and lost weight before my wedding, just think how more amazing you will...

I try to eat the least I can, not in a starvation way but I when I weigh I like to know that *I* am being weighed, not what I have eaten that day sitting in my digestive system. I then have a weekly ritual of having filled rolls with cheese and butter either for lunch if I go to a Mon morning...

Your body will also even out the weigh loss I found. That is quite a big loss so the next week it's understandable to not lose so much. I only do walking at the moment cos of how heavy I am and still lose 1-2lb a week and also I don't walk in a power walk way I just stroll and work on improving...

Oops forgot to update too! 2lbs off last week and today so 4lb in total.WI a day early too! ununpentium- 20lbs to lose, 5.5 lost so far, 14.5 to go - goal 12st 12lbs by 23rd December Skittlelover- 21lbs to lose, 5.5lb lost so far - goal 11st 4lbs CLH_X3 - 8.5lbs to lose, 10.5 lost so far -...

Christmas past: endless munching on Quality Street or Celebrations tins at Mum's where I stay when working or at mine. Lots of naughty festive party food nibbles. Sitting in every night on sofa not moving. Christmas Present: one tin of Quality Street (and a choc orange) only, weigh and point...

Hello, well done so far :) you've done really well xx

Hello :) can I ask a probably daft sounding question but how do you make a litre of green tea? I've only made mugfuls with tea bags.

My leader says the ones that lose the most eat all their dailies and weeklies. I have done both using them thru the week and over a Fri/sat/sun only and haven't found a difference when I weighed in on Sat or now when WI is a Tuesday. The way I see it is I have them where I need them and don't...

Check you have been drinking enough as hunger can be mistaken for thirst? Do you plan in advance what you're going to have? If not then give it a try. It takes time to change your way of thinking but you can do it. Think of the reasons you're doing this. We all have slip ups and go wrong...

I had the exact same thing happen to me in May. Our previous leader went on maternity, another covered but the one that covered quit to spend more time at home and the maternity one hasn't come back! I ended up gaining a stone (or thereabouts) and am now back on it but I do regret going off...

No join in xx

I'm going there today. It's a good place but my Mum says it helps if you are aware of the prices you usually pay for stuff so you can check if they're any more competitive. Saying that we get simple face wipes as they are cheaper, so are the toilet and kitchen rolls. If you like fizzy drink they...

YOU CAN DO THIS. think of how good you will feel when you have reached your goal. Take some time to plan what food you are going to have & that you have it in the house. I find I have to move treats for others out of sight as they tempt me and my willpower is getting strong but they do throw me...

I'm on 48 points at the mo and sometimes can't believe I can eat so much, however I'm not proud as if I hadn't got so big I wouldn't be on this many! I agree with others it gives you the flexibility to have what you want as no food is banned.

Hello, I'm heavier than you at the mo and to be honest knowing I have such a massive amount of weight to lose scares me but I need to do it. Apart from PCOS I have no health problems either. I did SW and didn't really get EE days, I liked red or green the most. Saying that WW is my fave out of...

Hello, just wanted to say well done on your first stone xx

Thank you all :) really love having your support. It's a long road but we'll get there! i went to my usual meeting tonight with my Mum and she lost another 4lb so also on half a stone in 2 weeks. We're a stone lighter together in 2 weeks which is amazing. Xx

I just replied on another thread called lunch box ideas, might wanna have a look there x

I take ryvita Crackerbreads (which are 2pp for 4), 30g of ham which is 1pp and Kerry's low low cheese with red pepper and chilli which is 1pp for 20g. Warburton sandwich thins are so yummy and 3pp for one, you could fill with ham and salad with a cup a soup-beef and tomato are 2pp for a sachet...

I haven't done a direct swap but I have done Cambridge before and now do WW. You have chosen a good plan as WW teaches portion control and good low and zero point options to keep you going. You'll have you daily points allowance to use as you like and 49 weekly points to either split over the 7...

Start cutting back a bit and have water in between? You can still go out and have a good time but just balance alcohol and soft drinks? You won't deprive yourself and totally ruin your good work either x

Yeah stay as you are, it's your journey and a lifestyle change, not a race :)

Hello all, how are you all doing? visited another meeting today a day earlier than usual and lost another 2lb, so that's 7lbs in 2 weeks and got myself a WW silver seven! The first of many :) just another 2lbs then I get my 5% off which will be a good achievement. t x

Hello :) I did SW too but it wasn't for me either. WW is the best :)

Hello all, thought I'd join in and start a food diary. I track everything on the WW app and have had a great loss on my 1st week back on plan with 5lbs gone :D look forward to reading other diaries too! I'm currently on a huge amount of 48 points so I will have a lot of content - just a...

Ok good :) I will have some when munchies attack next!

I'd struggle if I didn't attend a class, it's great to chat to others, have a regular weigh in and have some time just for me :) good luck with your journey x. i'm a cheese addict too but I am used to weighing out cheddar and having a sprinkle of it rather than a smothering :) x.

I have some of the mallows in the cupboard but haven't tried them yet. My mum thought they tasted slightly dry though?

I thought the same as uyou about fruit until i posted on here recently :) I think its the sugars in fruit that can cause problems, but it's a case of seeing how it works for you and 5 portions of fruit and vege is the minimum for good health.

Hello all :) thank you for all your replies. I had a good first WI in at WW on Tuesday and lost 5lb in my first week, my Mum lost 3lb so we're very happy bunnies! I'm really enjoying being back on track and feel a difference already in my clothes. We'll get there - this site is so good for...

Hello all i'm here as I want to join and get rid of this weight. i've not been slim since I started high school in 1996. I'm now 28, married and have PCOS and a very naturally slim Husband. He can eat all he wants and still fit into jeans with a 30inch waist! Being overweight runs in the...

Yeah already got the Crackerbreads and I love the Kerry's low low cheese spread with chilli and red pepper!

I did SW and then moved to WW. I was having a look at the recipes on e-source last night and there is so much on there. What kind of things do your family have?

Hiya, i am very similar to you. I'm currently 22st 1lb and want to get down to 11st ish! i'm also restarting at the mo xx

Ooh this is great, thanks. I've just been looking at food diaries and was seeing that zero heroes were featuring a lot, I also thought that 5 fruit/veg was a minimum with my previous leader. Where I get so many points I can eat lots more which makes me feel really unfair towards her (if I...

Hello all, I have joined WW with my Mum. She is on 26pp and I'm on 49pp so a massive difference! She seems to be struggling with the feeling of hunger side more than me and our leader said 5 portions of fruit and veg a day is best as if you go over then they can affect you because of the...

Me too. So we all set our own target for the challenge?

Thank you everyone :) went to new meeting tonight and seems good! Mum joined too - sadly I am 7lbs off of my original start weight but at least I am not right back at the beginning and am 7lbs under. I will start a food diary yes you're right - thanks xx

Hello all, i joined a WW meeting in June 12 which I really loved. I got to meet new Friends & it was at the weekend too so perfect for me. I was doing really well and re-educating myself. We then got the news that our leader was quitting being a leader for her Children & our meeting closed. My...

Hello, Sorry to hear you're struggling :( do you measure your food where needed? Also what do you drink during the day? Perhaps try drinking a little more water. I have Tetley green tea & honey tea bags which seem to help my losses. I can't drink plain green tea so the honey makes it better...

Thanks for sharing this, I love the cherry bake well light bars loads. Glad lemon drizzle is also 2pp, will get some on my next shop.

What sort of things have you been having? Well done on your loss so far too. For breakfast I have oat so simple porridge (sachets, not the just add water pots) & these are so filling. I add blueberries sometimes or banana. For lunch warburtons thins are good, 3pp for one, fill with ham or...

Hello, welcome to WW. I've been doing it since June 12 & find it the best plan I've done. I'm really re-educating my very poor nutrition and eating skills. As long as you do what the plan says and take time to plan your food you'll be fine. Xx

Hi all, good luck with the losses. I need to lose a further 10 stones, not gonna get there before Xmas I doubt but 4-5 would be the minimum :) xx

Draw a line under it, sit down & plan your eating and pro points. You have lost 32lbs/3 stone which is amazing, don't let it go! we all have slip ups and go to pot, we're human it's how you deal with it now xx it's in your hands xx

Believe in the plan, take time every few days or every day - whatever you need to plan what you're going to have and point it. Weigh stuff so you get your portions right and if you like chocolate curly wurlys are 3 points..I 'm having one now after a rubbish work day ;) think of it as a change...

Hellos:) welcome and good luck xx

Hello! i'm an ex SW'er. I did ok on it and lost to begin with but I didn't feel like it was teaching me anything. I then got bored of the a& b choices and extra easy was good but it span my head round despite its name! i have a lot to lose and have been on WW since June 2012 which is now 10...

I'm rather late on this but I also have a similar amount to lose. How are you getting on?

I do a mixture really. I weigh in on Saturday and tend to have a treat afterwards out of it. They really aren't for emergencies and are there to help you whenever you need them. They're also good if you do go out for a meal or something too, like you say. I've found that I usually use between...

I know about the price increased but not the meetings being cut. Surely that can't happen tho as there will be no talk and members get massive support from the talk too. I can't see it happening.

I have more than double that amount to lose. Would be great to team up :)

Hiya Good luck with your new journey. I'm a control freak too. I love planning and knowing what I am doing and when :D How have you found your first few days?

Hiya :) I'm an ex SW too. Also found it restrictive and no portion control encouraged either. Also didn't feel good doing it either. I have many many stones to lose and have been doing WW since 21st June and now lost 13lbs. I gained a couple of weeks as I didn't track. It really is so important...

Hi I'm new to PP too and have done SW in the past. I can feel a difference already in myself and feel much better in myself on this plan too. Good luck x
