I lost another 2.5lb today! Can't believe I've never tried SW before! I love looking and the recipes are amazing! My favourite so far is chicken tikka masala! I love that I know everything that's going into my body- super healthy!
I am however approaching my first challenge- lunch out on Saturday & I'm not sure what to do! Anyone got any good tips?

Where are you eating? Get hold of the menu and then use some common sense in what you choose. We know the 'bad' things - fried foods, cream, cheese etc. So avoid these and go for tomato-based pasta dishes, vegetables, non-creamy soup etc. You can also ask for things to be grilled rather than fried or to be cooked without oil. If you get a salad then ask for dressing to be on the side so you can control how much you use. You are the paying customer so tell them what you want.

Thank you! I have totally stuck to it, but not done any extra exercise, thinking i'll have to do some this week so i can get away with going out at the weekend!
Good luck with your wi, if you've stuck to plan you have nothing to worry about

What a yummy sounding menu - I've just finished my lunch and I am hungry again after reading that!!
Hmm, if it was me I would probably go for the Soupe à l’Oignon Gratinée (guessing this is onion soup?) then 28 Day aged châteaubriand, roast bone marrow, green beans & frites (but ask for boiled potatoes or a side salad instead of the frites) and then for pudding the
Poached pear, vanilla sabayon, mixed berries sounds the most SW friendly (though they all sound gorgeous!)
Well done on your losses so far - your an inspiration as I am back on the waggon again after a very on and off and on and off again couple of months.
