I just have to say that the dog in your avatar is gorgeous, safc!!
I've been going to a SW class since August and lately I haven't been staying to the class because they are extremely samey and boring, and I go for a walk with my OH instead! My countdown runs out in a couple of weeks, so I'm wondering whether or not to continue to 'weigh and go', or try to go it alone. I have a Food Directory, which I use far nore than syns online. Also, the SW magazines are good for up to date info.
If you have the most up to date books, and an up to date Food Directory, you should be fine.

I lost 3 stone at home. But then quit, needed more motivation when i decided to rejoin so joined online.

lardylady, his name is Barney and he is my nearly 2 year old springer spaniel. I adore him and he me. We love our walks together. The best of luck going it alone. I am sticking with this and will check out that thread suggested by starlight. Good luck all and thank you for all the replies.

princessria, bread is the thing I miss the most of too. I would eat it with nearly any meal and now it is restricted, but its for a healthy cause so I will abide by the rules. On the plus side I am not feeling so bloated since cutting down the bread. Good luck.

I'm in my first week of doing it from home after been away for two years and i canr resist the lull of bread its driving me bonkers i think i might just ban it altogether so i dont know how nice it is haha

I totally love bread too. I've found making SW hash browns for breakfast totally filling and good for replacing it, just flatten them down like a big pancake and cut into quarters and put your eggs and stuff ontop, then you can save your bread for another meal x

oh no, my scales are not working!!!! good thing is I cannot weigh myself until weigh in day Saturday, bad thing is, it is going to cost and may differ from my regular ones.

I am doing SW from home and going ok, found class a waste of money and really boring.

Good luck.

Hi, I used to go to a class but since I had my son thought I would try and save money and use my old books etc to go it alone. What I have decided is to set Monday evening as weigh in and my husband will weigh me so I feel I cant wriggle out of that commitment to myself. Will power isnt my strongest point so I am hoping with his support I will be on the road to losing some of my baby weight - 1st weigh in tonight. Shopping delivery to arrive later with all the bits I need to get me started. Good luck this week slimmers.
Keep me informed

Have been wondering this myself, I'm a stay at home mum and the other half is a full time (im)mature student so things are a bit tight. I worry I haven't the self discipline to stick to it or will struggle figuring syns out, but it seems I can rely on the lovely forum to help me out

Ive lost 19lbs so far doing SW at home. Got loads of hints and support from here though so you are never alone.

You can do it!!! xx

I've lost just over 8 stone doing it at home. But Im subscribing to the online version at the minute. My sub runs out at the end of the month so Im just wondering whether to renew, cos it is extortionate for what you get tbh :sigh:

 

[lauralou_10]

STS this week for me. Can't complain though as its * week so better than a gain...hopefully see a decent loss next week. Good luck to thos with WI!

 

[safc]

I agree it is very expensive. I was looking at how many recipes can get on there for free. Doesnt seem worth the large cost for the other stuff. Personal choice though.

 

[graciebabes]
