    Can i join you lovely people?

    I am joining a SW class tomorrow. I am the heaviest i have ever been and feel disgusted with myself.

    Got married 2 weeks ago and just back from honeymoon. OH and i have been discussing children and we said we wanted to lose weight first. I am seriously overweight so it could possibly take a little while.

    February GC £26.68/£250

    hi there and welcome

    congrats on the wedding :j

    on 4th July 2011 i joined my local SW group, i weighed in at 18.1:o

    i was heading off on holidays 7 weeks later and set a mini target to loose 1 stone in the 7 weeks,

    in the 7 weeks i lost 1 stone 5lbs, over the holidays i lost another 5lbs :j (dont ask me how, if it wasnt nailed down....i ate it or drank it:D) but i walked lots,

    after that, i just kept going and going.

    11 months later, i am 11.12 and a target member, :j:beer:

    you can do it :A

    my best advice would be, dont cheat, i hear a lot of people saying "ohh i didnt have my bread (or whatever the case my be) today, i am just going to have a pancake and count that as my bread".....pancake is syns...not a HEB..

    use your syns
    :beer:
    do plenty of body magic:j

    trust it, dont think "how can i eat all this and loose weight"...you can..it works..:D

    stay to class (all of this will make more sense after you join SW Group)

    check in here, the advice and support you will get here is unreal

    have you ever tried SW before

    how much weight would you like to loose?

    good luck, stick with it, it does work, honest;)

    any questions, dont be afraid to ask, i am no expert, but im am sure between all the lovely peeps on here, some one will be able to help you :A

    Good Morning everyone. I've been having really bad sugar craving these last few days so I have been having coco pops for breakfast (4.5 syns) and then I can have 2 alpen light bars for my HEB and that seems to be stopping me from binging on chocolate!

    Hello to all the newbies :T I'm off to do some gardening today at a local preschool, so that will be some good body magic.

    Piglet - thank you for your advise. No, that was all the food for yesterday, and felt really full, so didn't need any more. Didn't use the allowed extra HEB or HEA or anymore syns. I do find it very hard to let go and have more of any extras - I just think that it's bound to impede my weight loss. But then again, perhaps I should let go as my weight loss has really slowed down. I'm so confused about what to do.

    Have started today off with a cup of tea and an apple. Not sure what to do about food today as we're off to DD's graduation. :j
    Hope the rain holds off.

    Have a good day all.

    ahh have a lovely day,

    i never use my HEX for milk / cheese, dont like cheese and have pretty much cut out the tea and coffee, tho i think to maintain i may have to start taking a milky coffee or my hot chocolate made with milk

    i think i will struggle with the extra bread, cause i do really feel bloated if i even do a green day (this is from someone who was living off bread this time last year :eek::o)

    i have found that any week i have cut back on the syns, i havent dont any better on the scales, in fact my biggest losses have come after holidays (5lbs and 4lbs) wedding anniversary (5lbs) etc.

    i even managed to loose 1.5lbs xmas week and 1lbs new years week

    i think every now and then your body needs a total change to kick start it again,

    as long as you go straight back to plan, it seems to work

    how much would you like to loose ?
