Snacks: 2 Alpen light bars (B); banana
Dinner: SW chips, Quorn chicken-style nuggets (2.5 syns), Baked beans, brocolli; Muller light; Options hot choc (2)

Have had a few sneaky peaks on the scales and don't seem to be losing anything..

Well, for the first time in ages I've had a proper SW day:j
It hasn't been too bad with regards to motivation either even though I had an extra long day at work (whoever invented "twilight INSETs" for teachers?:mad:)
I've even walked the dog the extra long way tonight for a bit more exercise - go me!

So food wise ... (green day)
Breakfast - Hifi bar (B choice)
Mid morning - banana
Lunch - reduced fat houmous (B choice), 4 breadsticks (4 syns), strawberries, mullerlight, 3 LC extra lights (0.5 A choice)
Tea - quorn meatballs, spaghetti, passata, cheese on top (A choice)
Extras - 2 sweets (4 syns)

So that's 2 B choices, 1.5 A choices, 8 syns and a good dollop of body magic.

I'm out of fruit apart from 1 banana for tomorrow so will have to defrost some raspberries overnight and stew some cooking apples. Better do it now before I lose all motivation!

Here we are, I've been completely rubbish today and haven't had lunch or my second healthy extras.

B: Weetabix and milk
Lasagne and baked potatoes with quark and garlic topping
S: Apple, oranges, 2 of my fake ferrero rochers (5 syns)

hi everyone
I need some motivation to get back into SW. I lost 2lb short of 7 stone 3 years ago and then became a consultant. I struggled to maintain my weight loss whilst helping others but got positive results from my members. I decided to give it up for personal reasons and the weight really piled on. I changed jobs twice and tried going back to class twice, even attending classes elsewhere but it's hard as everyone knows me and to be honest i don't feel i get treated the same now as i did when i was just a member.
The class i have been attending is nowhere near the quality of the one I attended 3 and a half years back. Lovely woman but a lot of the members get no motivation and give up. I have had people ringing me for help or my opinion but I gave it up consulting nearly 2 years ago.
Anyway, having put on over 2 st I have tried doing it myself but struggle after about 10 days. I really don't know what to do. I KNOW how to do it but my current job is a sit down job and very stressful, even though i love it. By the time i get home i am too knackered to do much, as i have a 40 minute drive home each night. I know I make and am making excuses but after giving myself a good talking too every few weeks all my good intentions go out of the window again :-(

Hmm, been there, done that :rotfl:

As you will already know - motivation comes from within and only within The things I used to tell my members was to re-read their FO book, look at old magazines and dig out some 'slim' clothes you want to wear for your hols/a wedding/a party!

Make a list of all the reasons you want to lose weight alongside all the reasons you don't just do it. Once these are down in black and white, you can sometimes see a pattern of self sabotage that you can find ways of avoiding eg: don't shop on an empty stomach, avoid the petrol station where you can buy pasties or sweets etc.

At the end of the day you have to be committed to following the instructions for losing weight or you just can't do it. I know that SW is the best way (for me) to lose weight successfully and almost everyone on this thread would surely agree, but we all struggle sometimes......it's human nature. When you're ready to make the commitment there'll be no stopping you

I don't see any superfree veggies. Bulking up your meals with these sorts of foods helps to avoid eating too large quantities of the less 'stodgy' foods. Swap and change your menus daily so that your body doesn't get used to the same old, same old.

Try to drink lots of water (with or without sugar-free squash) and avoid 'sneaky peeks' on the scales, they often do more harm than good as it can depress you to think you're not losing quickly enough and cause 'fed-up' binges.

Don't forget to take your measurements because you will see these going down even if the scales don't tell you you've lost every week.

PS: sorry, I didn't see you'd already got the same advice.......serve me right for cherry-picking posts :rotfl:
