Morning all!

I lost a pound. Which would be okay, but I am still miffed after last week's unexpected and "unfair" gain of a pound. I haven't been cheating, I have had 72 syns this week, had 68 last so even if my body was holding on to a bit of water last week that should be no reason not to have had that off and some more this week. *Huff* :mad:

I really want to go for it this week, I have 3lbs to get a stone off so would like 1.5lbs + this week so I can get it next! :T Went back to fitness class last night (after having skipped a couple of weeks as had funny headache - not sure if thats to do with messed up loss, but surely you should still lose even if you take a break from exercising?? ) and hoping to go at least once more this week, although its a busy one so not sure thats possible. I have had it up to here with speed foods - think I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself to have them, and still lot seeing a speedy loss, so am tied between trying to do success express days this week and just saying stuff it to speed foods and having bog standard free food.

Got an all day presentation to go off to in a bit - taking a packed lunch (sushi, 3 syns and the best of all the evil syn laden sandwich type things I could have given I need to be able to grab it whilst on the move) and having a buffet dinner, which I have no idea what is being offered, but really don't want to end up in the same situation as I did last week which was to go out for a meal the day after WI, count the syns, be really good the rest of the week and still be disappointed with my loss. *huffs again*

Oh crap, just realised that the tesco light choice cereal bars are not on the HEB list. I've mixed them up with the asda ones that are on the list. Humph!

And I've had 4 of them this week :eek:

Oh-oh, I make them 3 1/2 syns on either day!

People have successes at SW even where doctors suggest they'd never lose weight, so taking medication "might" slow any losses down, but it can still be done (just my opinion I should add:D)
Do you write down what you eat? Maybe pop up some of your menu's as maybe someone can help spot any problems. I've just spotted this morning, that I'm using a cereal bar as a HEB, which isn't on the HEB list, so it helps to have someone look over what you're synning and using as your HE's.

Is there a way to extract a list from the SW website. I'm looking at the HEB lists in the eat and slim section, but want a list of all the soups on a sheet to go round the shops with - can anyone tell me how I'd do this? Thanks

I would really like to join my local SW group but the thought terrifies me (ive been in group situations before and everyone always seems to know everyone else). I have this horror that everyone will be sitting chatting and I'll be Miss No-Mates in the middle of it all!

I will have to pay the £60 to do the online Body Optimise but I wish there was another way. As someone said before, if only you could pay a small fee to enable you access to the full website.

Does the £60 actually give you full access though? (My OH is going to go mad!)

Go and join a group - you get soooooo much more from it. yes you will feel billy no mates and self concious - I did - but after a while that goes away and is replaced by feeling soooo at home and amongst friends - Indeed I have been lucky and really "clicked" with someone and within about 3 months I now consider her my best friend :j :T

Hi Everyone,

I've finally gone and signed up to the online SW, paid my £60 and started this morning. Beachbeth it IS expensive but it has all the features and plans and access and is for three months. If I could go to group I would because previous experience has shown me that the support is fantastic.

I thought that it being Lent would give me an extra incentive too as I'd decided to give up biscuits and cakes until Easter. Chocolate is not banned though so I can have a few syns!

I have planned to follow the EE plans in the last two SW magazines for the next 6 days and then take it from there, using the website to help.

Mookybar girl - usually you can download lists of free and HE food and a basic syns list which you then open in Adobe.

See you later
