Hi all, I haven't done SW before but lost a lot of weight with weight watchers a few years back so thought I would post here and get all you lovely ladies and gents advice and support and be answerable to you all might help me stay on track.

B: porridge and frozen berries with a cup of tea
L: home made butternut squash soup
T: slow cooked beef and veg stew with SW chips.

Maybe a yogurt as a snack

Does that look ok? Anything lacking or I need to change?

TIA xx

Happy new year and happy new thread.
WI last night and I put on 1lb. Was happy as between christmas eve and new years day i ate exactly what i wanted when i wanted as well as having wine very day. The difference being what i want this year is different from last year - totally different way of thinking.
And only 1 person in group lost - everyone else put on - mainly 3-5lbs on average.

Hello peeps, well yesterday was good, but today more of a challenge as I have several biggish things to sort, and that crutch of food is looming, hence if I write this post it well help me focus, focus, focus.


Menu: w/bix and sk milk (HEA).....


and herin lies the second issue, must do more to plan the menus. Just not inspired, but have a leak and pot soup on the freezer, so will try and get into sainbobs with this in mind as I fancy some of the BGTY sausages.


Mantra: no wine no weight


Frogga I too have a heavy brain which weighs a tonne, I also have very big and hair which must also count!

That would be fab but it is a HUGE ask Shala was fantastic for doing it before but I bet it got too much at times? If you do decide, we'll have to think of a challenge name and time scale? How about the next half term, that's 6 weeks, and takes us up to Friday 14th Feb so Valentines Day.

And I'm shortening your name to 2b, it's annoying SO thanks 2b, but think about it first xxxxxxxxxxxx

Sounds like a plan and I'm happy to! I kept up the lists on the TTC thread, and then the pregnancy threads!

Can someone point me in the direction of the old one so I can re-start it, if poss? Thank you!

Off for my hypnotherapy today to help in conjunction with SW, feeling nervous, anxious and worried that I've just blown a LOT of money!

Oh and frogga, I actually usually refer to myself as 2b too, good decision!

I'm crawling back in for the umpteenth time. I tried the CAD diet a few months back which is low carb and it sorted out a lot of carb cravings I had but it's quite restrictive and I think to be able to stick to something long term SW might be better for me, so here I go again.

I really want this to be my year to get my eating under control, I'm 50 next year and my silver wedding anniversary so it would be absolutely fabulous if I could be a healthy weight and not morbidly obese!

Morning all - how nice to be in such a chatty group!!

Yesterday went well I think...

B: 35g porridge oats made up with skimmed milk and a sprinkling of sweetner (I'm hoping I'm right that that is my HEXB and HEXA for the day??)
L: big salad with ham and chicken (1 tbs salad cream...2.5 syns??)
chicken stir fry (loads of veg and mushrooms) with egg noodles, chilli and ginger - it was yum!!
Snacks were mandarin oranges and a muller light - 2L water (no booze *happy dance*)

Today will be:
B: 35g porridge and skimmed milk (please someone tell me if this is right as I haven't had it yet lol)
L: same salad as yesterday
steak, salad, mushrooms, tomatoes and SW chips

Not sure about exercise - unless I may have to go help build an Ark as the weather is something else here!!

Anything else you could suggest? I can't eat a lot of fruit as I have IBS and it goes straight through me (great for weight loss though... Maybe I should.....:rotfl: Nooooooo not worth the pain! Lol)

Sounds lovely to have a holiday as a goal picnic. Where are you going?

I do use SW recipes but mostly I just adapt what we've always eaten.

Hi,

Today my meals have been,

2 weetabix skimmed milk 1tsp sugar

Banana, pineapple, activia yoghurt.

1 Fillet of Haddock with poached egg and 1 slice of wholemeal bread

3 glasses of water
2 cups of tea

How does this look? would it be classed as a green day?

Overall I'd say not much food and only 'overt' syns in a tsp of sugar. On Green you're allowed 2 HEAs and 2 HEBs. You have 3 HEBs (Weetabix, bread and haddock) and (depending how much milk you had) 1 HEA. So you'd need to decide which of those to syn. bread is about 4/5 syns so depends on size of haddock fillet.

Good luck.

Did I just read that mushy peas are free?? This excites me! Lol as I brought a whole tray from Aldi last year when they were down to 4p! Thought that in the event of an apocalypse, I could just through them at the zombies for that price!!!
Was thinking of having a can with hm SW chips tomorrow for tea.

That's right, definitely free. I might have a can myself tonight now you've mentioned it.;) What you do need to be careful of is that while peas and beans are free they're not superfree and you should have at least a third of your meal/food as SFs. So your chicken and new potatoes would need a load of carrots to make a third. You could either fit in lots of fruit snacks to make it up or have another veg alongside.

I watched part of one of those programmes lantanna about how people lose weight and put it all back on again. I know it happens and they seemed mostly yo-yo dieters who'd tried every wacky thing going. What I found difficult was one woman who said she thought she put it back on because she knew she had the knack of dieting it off again and enjoyed the thrill/compliments of getting thin again??? I found that hard to understand. I won't put on more than a few pounds before taking myself in hand and I NEVER tire of feeling thin.

I'm going to do my mealplan and shop soon so starting to feel a bit back on track.

Today's EE plan:
B: NAS Ribena, HEB toast, HEA milk, scrambled egg
L: eat up some satsumas;) and veg soup if hungry enough
SW burgers, SW wedges, peas, fried onions, mushrooms and tomatoes
Syns: squirt of sauce

I know I'll have wine syns because it's the weekend.:o Definitely back on the wagon ASAP.
