Hi, I have been reading these boards since last July after finally giving up being a ww'er and joined a SW class. I got to target on the 13th Dec having lost 25 pounds which to be honest was a bit silly with Xmas coming up and knowing what I am like. Weighed back in Jan and found that over Xmas had gained 8 pounds - no real surprise as i do tend to kick back over Xmas and holidays in general. Lost my way and then gained another 2 and gave up altogether with SW. I had gone to my consultant for a bit of support which did not really help as her focus was the new 40 members who had joined in Jan which i can understand so I stopped going.
So after a few months of half hearted being good and careful, i have had a good chat with myself as the weight is creeping back on and i will be back to square one if i do something to pull it back. For the last 4 days i have been back on plan and after doing some reading I am going to give red a go, i like the idea of the extra HEA & B's as I like cereal as one and prefer a sand for lunch. I have signed up for online SW as lots of useful tools like the syn calculator and recipes and i feel quite positive.
I find these boards really useful especially working out syns and ideas for meals etc. I am off to a spa in a few weeks with hubby and friends and there is nothing like putting on swimsuit to focus the mind....
Anyway thanks for listening and any useful tips or suggestions with red days gratefully received
