    ahh thanks :A

    i started out at 18 stone 1:eek: (im 5ft 6)
    Last week i was 13.0, so tonite at weigh in number 34, i really hope to see 12-something on them scales!!

    i know its a cliche...but if i can do it...anyone can! honestly.

    i do stick to the SW plan to the letter of the law from Sunday, til Friday

    on sat nite i have my chinese takeaway, i do eat fruit and yoghurts etc all day, no breads or milks, so thats 12 "spare" syns i have to go towards the curry.

    on a daily basis, i do eat "free" all day, my lunch bag is FULL and i graze thru it all day, 3 muller lites, 2 cereal bars, apples, oranges, banana, grapes, SF Jelly, pineapples etc

    my dinner at home is usually free as well, with the only syn being gravey, HP Sauce etc.

    then i keep the bulk of my syns for night time....tea and biscuits, crisps and a curly wurly, etc.

    i walk every day (every single day) not weather permitting, regardless...i walk.

    i said when i started this...im not gonna mess about with it, im gonna give it my best shot, and see how it goes.

    i take the book to bed with me on a regular basis, and re-read it.

    i usually follow the EE plan, but i will do 2 green days, but this is more cause i am in a hurry to get back out again, for circuit training, so on this day i would have boiled egg on toast, or beans on toast.

    i find with the takeaway every week, and the syns at night time, i never feel deprived, so thats what helps keep me on plan.

    i dont eat anything before i check the syns in it, i make a shopping list from the SW Book, so i know the syns of things before i buy them.

    as yet, (16lbs from target) i have not had to exercise any form of portion control, i still eat big dinners, and eat until i am full, but i do the 1/3 of the day superfree.

    i have recently (about 6 weeks ago) started doing resistance bands exercise, i have build them up to around 300 a day, and these have really helped tone me up, and i think boost my losses again, as i had a few slow weeks when i really thought my losses would slow down,

    i did a few days on the Success Express plan, and my bands, and the losses kick started again

    i go to group on monday and i think this helps keep me on the straight and narrow over the weekends.

    hth, good luck on your journey
