Just a quick question for those that are doing 30 day shred - What size weights are you using? I am just using tins at the moment but I want to get some weights. Thank you

:oHi all,

I've been doing SW for 3 weeks now and have lost 3 lb - a pound a week. I'm fine with that, it's going in the right direction but have checked everything I've eaten - food diary with consultant etc., weighed and measured everything and am still slow.

I've heard a few people mention success express - but am not sure what that is. Can anyone enlighten me please?

Great losses from all of you - inspirational!

:-)

A pound a week is fine - I lost all my weight in half pound or pound a week losses. The average is between1 lb and 2lb a week. You're doing fine. Don't even think about success express at the moment - that's for if you get stuck further down the line not right at the beginning - it is extremely strict.

You could try mixing it up a bit by doing Red, Green and EE days - I suspect you're doing EE as that's what SW seem to be pushing.

Stick with it.

Hi All

Hugs to Natterjack and TIE :grouphug: (queue dodgy smiley)

I am looking a little help. This week i lost 1lb despite getting a tooth out. Yay. I'm now 11-3 so 3 away from target.

From taking al the meds and not being so well my appetite has some what diminished. I am finding i have a real hunger/thirst for fruit but no huge appetite for free food so i am trying to use it to my advantage as a Success express day. It's not typically by the book but i am open to any advice. I don't want to shoot myself in the foot as i don't lose by green days so worry about the extra HEB

Yesterdays menu

B - 2 yogs, 2 peaches, strawbs, half a grapefruit some grapes.

Mid afternoon - banana, clementine, appled, passionfruit in a yog.

Dinner - very small portion of pasta with spanish smoked quorn chicken dish - hm - tinned tomatoes and mostly veg. Followed by another clementine , a tub of melon and an orange

Snack - cup of tea and HEB cereal bar

Then around 1am i had two rounds nimble HEB as toasted cheese HEA

Syns - one of the yogs 1/2, squirty cream on the strawbs 3/4

Today

Brunch Very small bowl pasta with brocoli and caul mixed in with a sprinkling of cheese. Followed by half grapefruit, 2 apples, banana and a yog

Dinner - Small amt mashed potato, quorn sausage, broc, carrots and caul (veg a third of plate ). Gravy. Followed by strawberries, melon and an orange .

Snack - cup tea and a hi fi bar HEB

SHortly will have HEB toast with the rest of my HEA cheese (all measured very anally:o) and probably half a grapefruit. I understand from reading the leaflet , the third superfree doesnt apply to HEbs,

Syns - gravy 1/2 , sausage 1.5, butter in mash 1m yog 1/2,

Now - having tea and a caramel bar 9.5 and a packet of meanies 4 .

WIll have toast HEB with a sliver of cheese (reast of HEA) in a bit. My times are all up the left at the minute

I count my syns weekly - my limit is 66 so will have hit that by monday evening. Weigh day is tuesday

Any help or advice? I always measure my milk and cheese and never go over and i check all my syns. I'm somewhat a syn nazi:o Am i kiding myself this is success express? its such a shock, the dinner i had tonight, i would normally eat twice as much as i normally do at the minute, so im trying not to let my weight loss suffer and gain because im not eating enough. My body does strange things.

MED MUM COOOOEEEEEEEEEE???????:beer::D

Piglet - are you trying intentionally to lose more or is it happening accidentally? Have you upped your HEs and syns? You've done so well. I hope you find a weight you are hppy at:A

Hi to all, some fantastic losses here, keep it up!!!:j

yeah, its happening more or less accidentially:D

i take 2 HEX per day and 20 syns plus one flexi day a week

i am currenty 11.9 in SW, tho i am a few lbs lighter with my GP, i ould be happy to stay around this weight, or more so, this size, a 12:D

This can happen to start with kittylover, but a regular sustained loss seems to stay off better. Do post your menus on here if you'd like to.

I'm doing well today, in advance of my chinese meal later:

B: HEB Puffed Wheat, HEA milk and strawberries
L: stir fried veg with rice noodles
flexi chinese

Funny isn't it? i was asking because i do the weighs at our group and there are a few target members who are continuing to lose despite their best stuffing their face efforts!!!!!!One of the girls is up to 3 "eat what you want days" and still comes in with losses. I've often wondered if it's to do with the stress being lifted as you're no longer trying to achieve a target? Have you stopped taking the orlistat?

Gosh i would love 20 syns a day:EasterBunI seem to have lost my crisp appetite and am totally into chocolate now!:eek:

Is anyone willing to comment on my Success express menu?

Just a quick update, I went to that local butchers this morning, they do 4 varieties of slimmers sausages, 2 syns for 6, although not able to sell them as SW due to certificates not being given anymore. They don't do burgers but when I asked which was the leanest mince they said the minced steak waas 95% fat free, so will be making my own in the morning. Hopefully after the BBQ there will be some left for the freezer too.

Am tring to resist as really want a loss on Monday.

I got the Davina weights from Argos. There is 3 for 2 on offer on her stuff at The moment. I got the 3 lots of 2 weights (using middle weight at the moment for shred), the exercise mat, and the rowing thing you attach to your feet.
