Rainbowfairy dust your consultant sounds like mine! It is off putting isnt it. A Monday really suits me so i don't want to change group but I don't get out of group what I should do as she is really off putting. She has a really strong accent as well which makes her very difficult to understand at times. We generally go around every body's weightloss and then thats it.......................Doesn't really give you any tips or motivation. I would be happy to not have my weighloss read out or discussed to chat about other things like recipes etc.

That sounds awful and a waste of money. I'm beginning to think I'm really lucky with my consultant. We have always had some variation and talked abut recipes, done taster evenings etc but have recently changed the format of IT a bit after hardly anyone stayed one bank holiday and we all just had a bit of a chat about whatever we wanted, which everyone agreed was more helpful. We still do what people have lost etc. but rather than go around everyone by rote and ask the same questions she asked us to write down if there was anything in particular we struggled with or wanted the class to discuss and we have talked about one of these issues each week since, which has been really good. I agree with MM, maybe you (and others who don't find their class helpful) should email head office - it's really unfair that people are thinking of leaving SW all together because of it and I'm sure if SW knew that they'd look into it.

The consultant on monday group is pretty much useless tbh ..she has never once done body image after class. Has her favourites and everyone else is pretty much ignored. I feel its a waste of a fiver BUT i do want to top up on Hifi bars..

Do you know anyone from your old class, or anyone else who goes to SW, who could get some for you?

Possibly yes.. A colleagues girlfriend also does SW (and i know her well enough to ask) . I think she would be ok with buying me some, and either giving them to her boyfriend or posting them out to me. I do have her email and it has been in the back of my mind to email & ask her. It is a shame she lives so far away though ( she lives in east yorkshire, and i am in sheffield)

I ALWAYS count my syns across the week and if I don't have the maximum it's a mistake!:D So after each WI I have a
'bank' of 105 syns and I subtract from there as I go along. When I was getting to target I did it very strictly, on paper on my meal plan. What I did is to eat almost syn free during the week except for the odd bit of gravy or cornflour in a sauce. Then at the weekend I could have loads of wine syns, and yorkies, gravy and stuffing with my roast. I think the only reason it's not recommended is that some people prefer a treat every day whereas I'm happy to wait until the weekend.

maman i think i am the same. I would rather eat just free food during the week and then allow myself the treats at weekend. The weekend is my (and for most i guess) the biggest hurdle to overcome.

I have the "weekend" mentality :whistle:

Mis I, your target loss of around 18lbs is the same as mine, and I was pondering the consultants attitude to that as such - I sense that cons in most cases perhaps favour the bigger targets which give them a challenge and gains them more respect /looks good for them, that they have done a good job, than bothering so much with us types? just a thought, my lady glanced at me and said you dont have much to lose, but, to me it is a lot . I could go for 2 stone but I dont want to look scraggy for my age, :rotfl: but I used to be 2.5 st lighter than now.

I still cant see how to select bits from the text to quote in others posts, can someone explain again, I can do a full quote but not to select bits!

I switched to skimmed milk instead of semi, so I can have a small milky coffee and enough for 2 weetabix. I just had 2 but I have no idea what to have as a proper meal later. I had choc today and 2 bicsuits, I really wanted to eat lots more, but managed to stop.
I discovered that tinned salmon is lovely mixed in with cottage cheese . Makes it less dry.

Hi Folks - It's been an up hill struggle for me on the plan recently so each day is a mountain to climb. I'm pleased that today has been positive!:T I'm really just trying to take each day a time and hope I get through it unscathed!!! Eating plan for today:

B - 2 slices Hovis toast, scraping of spread (0.5 syns)
Snack - shape 0% yoghurt
L - boiled basmati rice with pilau rice seasoning (this is gorgeous and it's free - it's by schwartz in the herbs and spices aisle in most supermarkets, it really adds lovely flavour to bland rice), chicken tikka and natural yoghurt
D - spaghetti with chicken tikka, chopped toms with garlic, chilli etc, 40 g mozzarella cheese, 2 slices garlic bread (4 syns), mango chunks
Came in from work and was starving so ate roll (6 syns) with ham (free) - this is definitely my worst time!!!

On the really positive note, I said NO! to the shortbread biscuits at a conference this afternoon which were sooo tempting!

Well done aggypanthus for also restricting the treats!!! :T
