Thank you. Ive joined online so slowely reading thru all the stuff.
Diary starting tomorrow eeeeek
You are already doing what I was going to suggest - the most important thing is to read the information you are given. Then read it again. Then read it again. No-one takes it all in the first time around!

Hiya welcome and lots of luck This forum is very helpful, always someone around to give lots of friendly advice. I'd say make sure you measure your healthy extras carefully (no guessing!!), measure syns accurately and read all of the books etc. Keeping a diary helps me and I also have a recipe folder and try to make 1 new thing every week so I don't get bored. xx

I've done SW before but never by going to groups. I've always done it on my own but it's just not working.......so I'm just back from my first class!! Really hoping that I have a good first week.
Good luck - diary keeping and being organised is key for me! I'm planning my week out reading the new mag!

Best of luck.
My top tip would be make a list for shopping and plan your meals in advance that will help you stay on track also. read your books over and over again too. Even though I've been on sw since jan I read my books at least once a week to keep everything fresh in my mind.

Hi welcome along to minimins. You’ve come to the right place for tips, support and advice. We’re a happy little lot who love to share.
Top tips are keep a food diary right from the very beginning as this is what will get you through this and help get the SW plan in your head. Knowing in advance what you are going to eat takes all the guess work out of everything. If things go slightly awry, then you have something to look back on to see where adjustments could be made and if you ask for advice through this platform, it's the first thing we will ask to see.
Following someone else's food diary on here or looking at the threads what's for breakfast, lunch, tea etc or the many, many recipes will certainly help you to avoid the repetition in your diet and expand the variety of things you can find to eat. Budget shopping at Aldi, buying frozen fruit and veg and cooking in bulk and freezing will also keep the costs down.
There are also a number of weighing groups which are either by weigh day and I think there is one for people who follow SW at home, which is good way to share your experiences, spur others along, to feel part of a group and get to know some of the others.
Finally, I would say trust in the plan it does work. Eat your syns and don’t cut back as it doesn’t work that way!! I’m sorry that I’ve rambled on but I hope that will give you somewhere to start and good luck with everything
