    Nandos tonight, help please

    The chicken burgers are massive and i can never eat the top of the bun so if you take that off you could save probably 2 points on any of the burgers. However enjoy yourself and remember you have 49 points to use for things like this. Have fun, i wish i was going.

    A few questions :)

    I agress, you need to eat more and add some veg and fruit. The weird thing with this diet is the more you eat the more you lose. For instance this is a typical day for me (I'm on EE but it's not much different you can eat red and green all day, only have one HEA & one HEB and if its synable...

    Daily fluctuations in weight

    never ever weigh yourself on your scales. I do it every week before the meeting, it tells me I've put on 2lbs and i get annoyed. I get weighed at SW and find I've lost! If you must weigh yourself do it at the same time every morning (ie get up, have a wee, get on the scales naked) and that...

    Help me please!

    You are doing well, I've looked at your stats and you've lost 10lbs which is an amazing amount. The last 2lbs will always be the hardest because your body is used to carrying a few extra around and probably doesn't want to let them go. I'm not that close to target but maybe start by picking up...

    Portion sizes on extra easy

    If they are both a B choice then use the lowest syn one and count it. You can't have a lot of bread so might need to switch to the nimble diet bread to get the most out of your syns.

    Ahh I had forgotten about cutting out the other HEB, you're right it all adds up. I think eating EE feels more like a normal eating plan as my bf and I are having exactly the same meals i just eat loads ore salad and veg than him and eat fruit inbetween rather than mars bars!

    OMG SW CRISPS NOT FREE !!!!!

    Constipation (sorry!)

    You can't beat a good hot curry! I find if I am really stuck i cook up loads of frozen spinach and eat that but its a bit extreme to do that everyday so i need a slightly better solution. I'm going to have rice, kidney bean and chick poea salad and get that fibre in!

    Syns in Fibresure?

    Hi everyone I have taken Fibersure for a few months and I asked my SW leader if it were free. She said no it would contain syns but i can't see how as its almost calorie free and helps to keep you regular and is just Hickory and nothing else. Does anyone else know the syn value of this?

    Definitely Up For The 10s This Week!!!

    Hey welcome. I've only been on here a few days but you'll find everyone really welcoming and friendly. I'm on day 2 of SW but I've done it before in the past. I guess write everything down 100% and that might help. Good luck.
