Hi all, I'm really sad to say this but I'm leaving SW for a little while..... I love the plan but I lose my job in 2 weeks, and can't afford the £40 in costs me at class every month and the extra £50 per week it costs me in food.... It's only for a little while.

I'm gonna be counting caloriezs and watching what i'm eating.......

I'll make sure I keep in touch... and i just wanted to say the biggest thank you to everyone here :D

You have given me so much inspiration, support and help... I dont know what i'm gonna do without you guys!!

And dont worry the day i start classes again Ill be back on here full time annoying the hell outta ya and reading poo threads!


All my love

Kissme

Oh that's such a shame hun. How come it's £40 a month? Should only be £20 (less with a countdown....). Could you not buy a countdown before your job finishes to tide you over until better times?
Whatever works for you though, it's just a shame to see you leave SW. Good luck and stick with us, your posts are great.
 
Hi Kissme,

I was so sad when I saw your post, I live in Turkey and do the plan at home, I have old books and downloaded some stuff thru bittorrent too.

SW can be done completely on a budget and you can plan the diet around your allowance completely, I live in about £20 a week for food, I never buy red meat, I use dried soya mince (TVP) cos its cheaper than quorn things, I bulk cook and freeze.

I think if you buy all the convenience things that fit into SW diet then it can cost a small fortune, those things arent available to me here so I have to compromise and believe me it can be done and is probably the cheapest diet to follow cos you are just eating normal foods.

If you want to talk about the meals that I would recommend just tell me, it would be a real shame to see you go off plan and to something that means you can eat loats of unhealthy food just cos its low in cals....

hey gorgeous. Im so sorry to hear about your job hon, thats really poo.

i totally understand what your saying, but dont leave us on here just because you wont be neccisarly following the sw plan.. we love having you around

xox
 
i agree hun don't leave us whether u r following the plan or not hun u will fall off the wagon. sw can be done on a budjet hun esp green.
 
Aww thanks for all your kind words people! I really dont wanna leave.... jaylou its £40 as both me and my OH go...... I'm definatly gonna hang around. Tbh I'm just panicing about money, I always do this when some thing changes finacially I say we cant afford anything and then it turns out we can.

I have so much going on at the second that I'm trying to sort out our finances so we can carry on doing it.

I spend alot more on food when i work as it dont really get the time to prepare stuff as much as i like but as i wont have a job I'll have all the time in the world!!!

I just dont want you guys to see me not following plan and hanging around and thinkin of me as a fraud!!

:(
 
You will be fine Kissme....loads of time to try new recipes and make things from scratch which is generally cheaper anyways....I work 6 days a week here and its hard to fit time in for cooking and stuff but forward planning is the key.....I now have a weekly menu planner (copy attached) with a shopping list....means I only buy what I need and therefore stay within budget.

Good luck chuck x
