I've been half heartedly following SW the past 2 months & lost 9lb.

Bread is my weakness & my downfall.

I do a pasta salad for work lunches but get fed up with them 5 days a week. Any advice?

will it slow my loss down if I eat too many yogurts? Its the one thing that doesnt seem to hurt much or take ages to eat

Dont think so Dizzy, I have been known to eat 4 or 5 a day at times and I stil lost loads

What about couscous or SW potato cakes? They might slip down ok ?

has anyone got any good recipes for rice salads? -

Rice salad, CousCous salad, leftovers in the microwave ( eg a chilli or a curry) , jacket potato ( done at home heated up) Pasta and sauces, mug shots?

They are in the last bit

I cant find the other recipe, ( so I wont be having them for lunch lol) but it uses sainsburys basic instant mash made thickly so it doesnt require flour

As I recall it,

Make up the mash really thickly
Shape in to cakes/ burger shapes
fry in fry lite till crispy on the outside
You can add spring onion, onion, a bit of cheese of the HEB, im sure a host of other bits and peices

Can anyone provide any pointers please?

OH is following SW too and eats the same as me but he isn’t losing weight. He has about 6 teas a day with half a sugar so we count this as 3 syns.

Yesterday his menu was….
B – 2 toast (B) with butter (3) beans (F) 2 bacon (F)
L – Banana (F)
D - Spanish Chicken (F) SW potatoes (F) salad (F) (this was a very full big plate)
Snx – Yoghurt banana & Granola Pudding (6)

Cups of tea with half sugar – 7 (3.5) (0.5 A) 10 mins on exercise bike (200 cals)

NB - he doesn’t like…. Pasta, Cheese, Eggs, Noodles, Mushrooms.

The only things I can think of is that he is maybe putting too much butter on his toast and I’m not counting enough syns or that he isn’t eating enough i.e. only a nana for lunch.

Appreciate any advice you have x

Lunch: Chicken (6.0 for the marinade) rice and salad
Dinner: Spicy pork (cut the fat off - 6.0 for the marinade tho) and noodles and veg.

At class last week the consultant was stressing the importance of making sure that ur plate was at least 1/3 full of free of superfree fuit/veg with every meal to ensure good weight loss.... looking at his breafast and lunch hes not doing that so that may be the problem?? Im also struggling a bit with this at the moment. does he eat strawberries at all? Ive been tryng to include a few of these with every meal just to get a few extra free/speed things in... Also maybe if you can get him to maybe have some tomato at breakfast plus a bit of fruit (melon is speed and can be put in a tub to be eaten when hes got time maybe?)

Hi all, some of the crowd that used to be around may remember me but I haven't been on here for ages. I've got into a bit of a rut, still been following SW but really need to get back to basics and give myself a kickstart. I got back from our two week holiday (All inclusive deals are lethal for the waistline) and had a 6.5lbs gain eeek. How come it goes on sooooo easily but is such hard work to shift? Anyway I've managed to get rid of 3lbs of that and I really, really, really want to get to my target this year, I did get to within 1lb of it this time last year but it seems to have drifted away from me since. I seemed to be getting good results when I came on here so here I am again. I do think it helps you keep focussed to read about others problems, contributing suggestions that, hopefully, help and getting support yourself along the way. Keep going everybody, I'm going to try and get on here daily.
