    All Scales Equal?

    No - same time of day. My scales at home are a pretty good match to my usual class and they showed a 2lb loss

    All Scales Equal?

    Anyone had experience of different classes = different scales results? Weighed in with another group this week and lost half a pound, rather hoping it was more so keeping fingers crossed for next weigh in at my normal class!

    Portion Sizing - Big Enough?

    Hello... So, my weight loss venture so far is slow and steady - which is fine. I exercise most days and have been mostly red days. However have been wondering if I am eating enough? So for this week I am upping my portion sizes, going Extra Easy and eating an average of 7 - 10 syns a day...

    How fantastic that you have lost weight and that you are out walking, improving your health - you want to change the way you were in the past and move forward to a better future. Why should anyone stop you.... you deserve the very best that you can be. Who cares what others think, you are the...

    Friends/family's negative remarks abput your success?

    Only you know what is right for you and your family, if that is for you to follow SW and go to the gym then so be it. As we all know our children follow our example, and it is fantastic that you are showing your daughter a healthy lifestyle. It is hurtful for people to put insinuations on...

    Warning, Waste of Syns!

    I do love to cook with quorn, so not knocking that at all - just thought these ready to eat snacks would be delicious but they weren't!
  14. Lindam

    Warning, Waste of Syns!

    Brought a small pack of Quorn 'light bites' - 4.5 syns for the whole pack. If they had been delicious I would have been recommending them as a snack. Do not buy them, they are horrible. I had to rinse my mouth out they were that bad and I only had a small bit of one! :eek:

    had another thought - put your wedding dress picture in the middle of a picture of scales, add your statements on each 'weight' then each time to you choose the positive add a tick/cross/sticker - see how many you get over a week. If you are a visual person then this will work brilliantly at...

    Alpen Lights - Why?

    think they did it on purpose because they know they are the best ones! Perhaps they saw me coming down the aisle and switched prices thinking I would pay the extra 30p - well I didn't and I brought the choc orange ones, that will fool them!

    Scales/Measurements/Body Fat%

    it's not too late - get the tape measure out now! As you get nearer to target and the scales refuse to go in the direction you want them to then the tape measure will become your best friend!

    Which Choice...

    Whats served with the main course? veg? If so i would take the beef pie and take the pastry off (get some kind person who is with you to do so you are not tempted to nibble!)

    my first half stone gone

    fantastic - 7 whole pounds. Go into the kitchen and take 14 tins of stuff (baked beans, spaghetti etc etc) place them all in a carrier bag and that is approx how much you have lost!!!

    July's Exercise Challenge

    I think so long as you keep moving - who cares what exercise you do. If you are quite fit anyway then a small time off won't do any harm, you will soon gain the level you were very quickly. Take care of yourself and don't rush back into things until you feel your body has recovered.
