Please sw help me loose weight

[upndown]

Thank u so much for not giving up on I feel totally rubbish ur right though one thing I truelly like is my need for loads of junk food has gone and am quite happy with 2 sw bars I bought a writing pad yesterday I think what I will do is write some speed foods that I like and stick it on the side of my fridge I don't like bacon I think am the only person who doesn't we're do u think I am going wrong thank u also as I think I need to cut butter down I do measure it but I most probly have a large tea spoon lol it's so annoying x

HEALTH WARNING THIS IS A VERY LONG ANSWER - TRIED BUT COULDN'T SHORTEN IT & ANSWER YOUR QUESTION PROPERLY!!

Ah - we never give up on anyone here think lots of have really struggled to diet for weeks/months/years on end and I know that lots of people love SW and do well on it - but I also have friends and read on here - how people struggle with SW and give up - so don't be hard on you!

You're starting to get the hang of it now - well done on buying a notebook and putting your fave speed foods. If u keep at it you'll get there - yes it's slow, annoying, frustrating etc but if we really want to lose weight and keep going we'll get there in the end.

Yes it maybe unusual not to like bacon but it's not that healthy with all the salt and you'll never crave a bacon butty like I do

I don't think you're going wrong - I think it takes us all a while to get round SW plus you have a little one to think of too - all the free food on SW means we can eat lots of it if we want (SW does say - only to eat when we're hungry - not like me - when I eat when I'm bored or just fancy something!

To help to get more familiar with SW and when you've got time I think it might help you to write a list with a few ideas for breakfast, lunch, tea, snacks and treats - then do the same with your Healthy Extras and things you have for treats using your syns - you could put them in your notebook or on the fridge too if there's room!

Choose things that you'd enjoy and include some quick and easy meals/snacks you can make or buy so you'll never be stuck for ideas and end up eating something that's not SW friendly!

That might help with your shopping as well and you'll always have ideas for each meal or snack.

And I think the most important thing of all is to plan your food each day in advance and write it down at least until you're losing weight regularly - I know it's a bind but I think it works - you can always change things around if you change your mind by lunch time!

SW provides printed forms for you to write your food down - did you get some when you started? You could ask at class for some more - then fill it in this week then hand it into your SW consultant and she'll look at it and give you advice.

Or if you'd prefer - post it on her and I'll look at it for you - others might comment with helpful ideas too,

It's really important to include everything - here's an example - it's based on your post today but I've put other things in just to help you:

B'fast: 1 slice of large thick loaf HEB,

cheese x grams HEA plus any syns if it was more than a HEA as in the book?
xx for a third speed

2 level teaspoons butter x syns

cup of tea/coffee no milk x amount of full cream/semi skimmed/skimmed milk

Lunch:
Fried egg,
x amount of oil x syns, or if you use Frylight that's free,
baked beans and xxxx for a third speed

drink/s

Tea:

Uncle Ben's Mexican rice with chicken
Uncle Bens Special Mexican Style Rice (250g pouch) 3 syns OR
Uncle Bens Special Mexican Bean Rice (250g pouch) 4 syns OR
Uncle Bens Special Spicy Mexican Style Rice (250g pouch ) 4½ syns

chicken - whether it was cooked with oil or sauce or anything? If so was it free or xx syns

peppers and onion (add any oil if you used any) was that a third speed - well done either way for inc some veggies!

Drink/s: how many and how much if it's not water or free from syns or you're using your HEA for measured milk

Snacks: write if it was a free food - HEA or HEB - and or include syns

You're welcome - I'm happy to help - I've had lots of kind people helping me over the time when I was struggling so I know how you feel.

So chuffed you stayed the same YaY!! So this week is better than the last one angother YaY! Know what you mean about not going cos you think you'll have a gain - I try not yo do it but I do sometimes - like last week after Easter Glad you stayed to class did it help? Hee Hee about Andre.

The SW food diaries are a really good idea but sometimes I find there's not enough room for all the food I eat :O But the lady that runs my class says she's the same and to just write the other stuff on a piece of paper LOL

If you want to and if you have time - post on here too and I'll try to help. Glad you use frylight - oil's such a waste of our HEB or syns eh?

Think you did the right thing not buying the recipe book too - if you're anything like me - you won't like some of them
Do you go on the SW website - lots of recipes on there and I think the ones from the books too - probably not straight after they come out - but later on.

Mullerlights have lots of flavours don't they - don't know if you shop at Aldi - I do and they have copied Mullerlight and they're free

Have a good SW week!! xxx

 

[upndown]

Just found this on the web - not read these meals plans yet but thought it might have some new ideas for you and me

hi Hun I do need to start going to Aldi at the minute I like the ready cooked chicken fillets I think when I next get payed I will go the Aldi and make shure my phone is charged so annoying when u buy something and the syns are sky high the meeting was the leader going through the book a lot of new members to I was thinking if I got strawberrys and blended them with fat free yogurt would that be ok as a speed food will pop over to your thread now xx

 

[Georginaungi]

I thought I would do Andre porridge this morning wich he refused so I eat it and discovered how much I miss porridge I think I will get some strawberrys and blueberrys and have 40 g of plain oats next time

 

[upndown]

Woo Woo - a great start to the week - I love it when I remember or find a food that suits SW diet! Is there room in your tum for a third speed food either now or a bit later if you're full

Good idea to buy the oats - you can have them as a HEB next time and it'll be lovely with the fruit!

Sending these links - the chips in the 2nd link look good - might be worth looking at. Google but didn't watch or read - so not sure if it's done the SW way or whether the chips wd be tasty!

Nice b'fast - you're doing really well - hopefully you'll get rewarded with a nice loss this week! x
