Desperate to lose weight
Full Member
Well I did it. I survived my first week on the SW diet having been on WWs forever, and I must say I am impressed. I was dubious on my first day (to say the least), looking at all the free food you could eat - meat, veggies, fruit, yoghurts - and I thought to myself - you will NOT lose weight on this diet - but since the WW diet was turning me into a boring sod who constantly obsessed about food - I always seemed to be hungry for some reason - I thought what the hell.
I am so glad I did and this forum has helped me no end - especially in my first few days.
I've been doing the diet myself at home, but needed the directory so I went to a class last night - which wasn't too bad - but the class doesn't have a permanent leader - to my horror, the leader told me that the potatoes I've been having all week as my HEs Bs should have been cooked and eaten in their skins and the plain rotisserie chickens I've been getting from somerfield should be sins! As a result I thought I wouldn't lose any weight - but I weighed myself this morning and I lost 6.5lbs - I am shocked. I haven't been gorging myself - in this heat I don't feel that hungry - but even so 6.5lbs! All the time I was on WW the most I lost in 1 week was 5lbs and I was serious ravenous all the time too. With SW if I'm hungry I can have a yoghurt or some lovely cold fruit. It's heaven. My only regret is not starting this diet sooner - but better late than never!
So, if anyone is undecided and is reading this - please consider doing this diet. It doesn't feel like you're dieting at all rather that you are making sensible decisions.
Good luck to anyone starting this diet and a BIG thank you for all the support from the lovely people on this forum over the last few days.
PS: if anyone has the SW website password, can you pass it on... :-}
