HOW can i lose weight! I joined yesterday 10am and started straight away. I haven't stopped eating since! And all free - had 11.5 syns yesterday tho so only 8.5 today..... still plenty tho!

Trust the plan!!! If you are following the plan to the letter you will lose weight ( although everyone loses at different rates). I don't question it now, it works and thats all that matters to me.:D

On the subject of extra easy, I think that you will find that new members to SW will love extra easy and those members who have been doing SW for a while will hate it.

We are divided in our group - our new members rave about it and our old members say they prefer their red / green days.

At the end of the day, follow the plan which suits you the best. extra easy doesnt work for me and probably my favourite plan is mix 2 match which is what I tend to go with most days.

I couldn't agree more with you Flat Eric, it is the same at my club. I have been doing EE more or less since it came out and I just have not lost weight on it. If I lose a bit one week I gain it back and more the next. I don't think it is the plan I think it is me. I need control in my eating and for me EE doesn't give me the control that I feel I have with red and green days. So I am back on green till the weekend then red. Might do a mix to match on Friday for the transition from green to red, I tend to forget about mix2match and actually quite like doing it.

Thanks for yours posts Flat Eric, they always give me something to think about and I find them helpful.:T:T:A

Hello everyone..

First off, thanks for all the birthday wishes last week, I couldnt believe how popular the 24th feb was for birthdays!

I have had a great week, had lots of fun and celebrations. I have eaten out a fair bit, had some cake etc but tried really hard to be good when not being bad (if that makes any sense)

I had wi yesterday and i was over the moon to have stayed the same. I really thought id put on alot after 4 nights eating out and alot of beer so was pleased. I now wanna try and get back on track after this birthday period. Its now 2 weeks since i lost any weight, so im hoping this week will be better.

Well done to everyone who has lost since my last post, u are all a real help and inspiration to me to keep going..

also..could someone explain mix and match, ive never heard of it and it may be usefull sometimes..i dont go to classes, do it all myself..

cheers

Just had my first home WI and have lost 4.5lbs which is good but was kind of hoping for a bit more (I lost 1 stone in my 1st 2 weeks last time I did SW!)

4.5 lbs lost is a brilliant loss - you should be very pleased with yourself!:T

I am still fully breastfeeding my 6m old baby (we've not started weaning yet) which probably isn't helping my cravings. I've been allowing myself 2-3 HEA and 2 HEB on the extra easy plan (if you are breastfeeding a 4-6m baby, not weaning, you can have 4 extra HEs I think) does that sound ok?

4 extra HE's - I think I might become a wet nurse - do they still have those? lol

Just feeling a bit unmotivated really and need a kick up the bum to meal plan for the next few days at least so I'm not stuck wondering what to eat.

thanks

There are some great meal plans on here, I tend to do mine only one day in advance since a lot of what I make will depend on what I get reduced at Tesco late the night before (the things we do to save money:o) I put comments up above in red because I don't know how to reply in seperate little boxes, can anyone explain how to do it?

It's worse than you think lo_bush, not only did I hang on to them the little !!!!!!s multiplied and had a little 1/2 pounder of their own. The proud parents have not decided on a name for it yet although I had a few choice ones to offer!:mad:;)

Yes you are definitely allowed up to 15 syns daily, but I think what they were trying to say was they couldn'r understand HOW they could lose weight after eating so much food.

Yes, you can have between 5 and 15 syns a day on the plan.

We all felt like that when we first joined SW! But carry on, you are doing it right:j
