    Exactly! ;)

    Exercise

    You might find it shows more on the measuring tape? Measure yourself and then again every 4 weeks then if the numbers don't show on the scales but do on the tape you won't feel disappointed x

    Exercise

    I can only echo what others have said about the positive benefits of exercise. I have health issues (degenerative spinal disease, osteoarthitis and loss of curve lower half of spine) so I can't run or do high impact, but I still do loads of exercise because it actually helps my arthitis and I...

I will exercise loads over the festive period and will cook a lot from the Christmas cook book as well. I expect I will gain and thats ok...

    i thought when I started SW that I would end up using loads of my syns on cheese because I convinced myself I couldn't live without it, the reality has been I have it about once or twice a week tops. Similar with red days, I stayed away from them because I couldn't live without loads of carbs...

    Looking good there Jane and you are clearly getting the hang of it. My only teeny tiny comment is breakfast today, if you want the best results, should include 1/3 superfree - although sometimes I don't bother if I am honest but always try to, maybe a nice roasted tomato yum yum x You would...

    There are plenty of sources of protein available for veggies - tofu, quorn, soya mince, eggs, cheese, pulses, lentils etc etc most vegetarian would eat any number of the above every day.

    I don't really like a lot of vegetables but make sure I stick to the 1/3 rule, I think I am going to erase its not a MUST from my memory, its the thing that has made the biggest difference to my heat habits.
