Brilliant Jade.. Well done. How on earth are you doing it? I need inspiration to get bigger losses.
I thought my losses were great, but they are amazing, arent they?
I think it works because your body has such a high basal metabolic rate when it has the extra stones (i started at 21 st 9lb) that you are no longer feeding that it just burns itself off when you kick into the SW plan and adding a bit of exercise (exercise at our large size acts as a BOGOF, the effort of carrying out the exercise doubles not to far off the caloric requirement).

Gazter your losses are fantastic too. I want to lose 5 stone so have a fair bit to do! think you're right about exercise. I walked around Sheffield park gardens sat, did Wii fit step Monday, & planning to get on my exercise bike! I am feeling really fat today but have stuck to plan so I hope I get on ok at weigh in Friday.

Do you have a lot to lose? Often its those with loads to lose who have the biggest losses. The diet isnt for everyone. But, a question, are you sure you are following it correctly?? Have you done a food diary?
Are you getting the 'superfree' bit correct? Every single meal you eat a third of the plate should be superfree. Are you eating enough? You dont need to pick on the diet, eat until you feel full, if you are hungry again, eat some more. Just keep to the superfree.
Yeah gazter i have loads to lose. I am trying my best to eat loads of fruit n veg with meals only thing i can think of is i have a drink one night a wk. i tried to eat liads of strawberries n melin last wk as they r a superfree foods. I started exercising this wk so hopefully lose something on thursday as its really starting to get me down :-(
Keep going Angie, I'm sure you'll start seeing the results you want soon.
Have you talked to your consultant? Perhaps s/he will be able to give you some more tips based on your food diary etc. My friend has been doing SW and was having smaller losses, so she switched to red/green days instead of extra easy. That may be an option to consider too?
How much strawberries and melon is a lot? Fruit contains a lot of natural sugar, and although it's superfree (and can be eaten unlimited on SW), our consultant said not to eat too much fruit, but try adding more of the superfree veggies. Your 'lot' and my 'lot' may be very different though!
Another thought - are you using your syns? And having your healthy extras?
Good luck, and keep going! xx

I think there is a food diary subgroup on here were more experienced people than me can advise you. Write up everything you have eaten, no forgetting bits here and there, has to be absolutely everything!
