Must be his body getting used to the excessive amounts of drink over time, just like food your body gets accustomed to what you eat so you end up eating more to get the same level of satisfaction.

Still musing on it at the minute hence agreeing to go along to the workshops.
Trying to get my head around some aspects of what was said as opposed to what we are taught in group for instance, asked what bread i would have at home - wholemeal 400g loaf. Her response - you shouldnt really be having that but i suppose its better than white because it contains fibre can you swap to granary, the more seeds on it the better as this helps it travel through the digestive system better whereas wholemeal just sits in the gut and ferments. I love seeded bread and would eat it till it came out my ears but in SW its synned and im petrified of swapping too much for the weight to come on as opposed to being peeved that it is sitting stagnant or little tiny losses.

I suppose after looking at weight loss options last year for my son SW won the race because it meant no weighing or measuring - now i have to weigh everything in TBSPS for them to see if i am getting the correct amounts everyday.
So as well as sticking to SW i now have to bear in mind - 5-7 portions of fruit and or veg a day (easily done), 5-7 portions of breads/cereals/potatoes (baring in mind that SW tells us just one of the breads/cereals and one portion is 2 egg sized spuds),
2-3 dairy foods (similar quantities of milk and cheese but again without synning we only get one milk or cheese the rest is to come from yogurts or cottage cheese bleurgh) then i get a treat of just 100cals a day Oh and 2-3 meat, fish or alternatives a day.

It seems alot to get your head around when being on one plan then someone else coming along looking at it saying whoa there your nowhere near the mark on what you are eating while theres also the voice telling you that you need to be looking at losing 500cals minimum in order to lose any weight at all.

So the easiest thing i think at the minute for me so i dont get lost along the way is to follow SW, swap my long grain rice to basmati as recommended today, use up remaining wm loaf then get the seeded one on the HEB list and up spuds and pasta each day to see where i go from there. While submitting yet more food diaries to be handed over to the dietician incase i need referring in that direction too

You could up your superfrees a little more as for breakfast you only had mushrooms, maybe some grilled/tinned tomatoes next time.
Lunchwise your superfrees arent really hitting the target either whereas your tea would have been a SW recipe and therefore they would have a side note attached if you needed to serve with any extra veggies or salad to achieve you 1/3rd quota. Other than that it looks a lovely well balanced meal.:)

Thanks so much! I knew things just didn't look right today! I have made some soup for my lunch tomorrow packed with super frees so I'm hoping I do a better job then!

All sounds a bit confusing Stef but go with it for a few weeks if you can and just see where it takes you...what do you have to lose? (yes I know some weight! ) I think you could end up learning alot in the classes they are offering and it might be really interesting x

My ideal weight would be anything between 9st7lb and 10st7lb so i get back in to my size 12's. My weight at SW is 12st11.5lb whereas the scales at the weight clinic were 80.5kg - around 5lb less!!! (i know which i would prefer to go with but then i will have conflicting sets of results).
