I have decided what I am doing :T

My weight next Thursday will be my goal weight and I am hoping its 11st 7lb or less

After that I will still eat SW but have a few more treats and will still be weighing in the same every Thursday

:wave: I've had the cutest best afternoon, we went to see some kittens that were born last night :happyhear they were so gorgeous.. then I came home to misery snob cat :rotfl: I so wanted to steal the kittens but he wouldn't be impressed!

Aah... I've never seen newborn kittens, they must be so tiny. My friend recently got 2 British blue kittens and she's been putting pictures on FB since they were a few weeks old. I love cats but I'm allergic to them.

I don't think you need class do you Lois? you seem to have done brilliantly without it :T:T

I'm a bit worried that my determination will start to flag and going to a group would give me more of a focus, but in all honesty being part of this thread is motivating so maybe I'll save my money.

Apparently all the mega stars have bigger feet lantanna, so you're in good company - they were saying Sandra Bullock was a 9, but I assume that's American sizes, otherwise :eek: Glad you're a bit more positive.. xx

I saw that, it was in the Daily Mail and there were a few stars with size 9's - Julia Roberts, Jerry Hall, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Angelina Jolie but apart from Jerry Hall I don't think the others wear a UK size 9. An American size 9 is equivalent to a UK7. Jerry Hall is very tall though so I think she might have large feet. I take a size 9 and the length of my feet doesn't alter with my weight but the width does.

Good decision. The trick to maintaining is to be a bit more flexible but be prepared to be strictly on plan for a while if you exceed 3 or 4 pounds over your target weight, so you're doing exactly what you need to do.

RE: tweets

After all the effort and discipline, learning about portion size & healthy foods, how should one eat when one has reached target?

I am guessing one eats healthily, but with an eye on the scales, just in case it tips the wrong way again.
I am assuming the above because early intervention is easier than the difficult journey many of us are, or have been on.

I love the SW meals, I have never eaten so well.

This is something I am unsure about Smedley that's why I will be weighing same time on Thursday I don't want to undo all my good work. Cant say hard work I didn't find it that hard eating healthily .

Good plan tweets. I feel so sad for people who've lost with SW and then say they've put it all back on. regular monitoring has to be the answer.

If you go to a group there's a leaflet they give you about maintaining at target but I've never read it.:o I believe the SW way is to have some more HEXs but much though I love cheese, if I have a choice between bread or wine, no contest!!:rotfl:


So I just have extra syns BUT monitor my weight regularly (some weighing but also how loose/tight clothes feel). Then if I feel I'm getting to top of target range I get strict with myself.

I didn't get the leaflet - it wasn't around when I got to target, LOL! Know what you mean re bread v wine!

I still weigh in every week even though I've been at target for about 4 years.

Hello!

Well done losers, sympatea and Lois.

I love all the “deterrents!/punishments you’re thinking up! How do you get those fancy smilies into your posts? Mine just turn into wee squares if they’re not from the mse collection.

That sounds like a good plan, tweets. You still have a target to reach (albeit vague) and keep you motivated rather than just fading away (to a shadow).

Friday’s plan had to be altered – lunch (“made” by DH) was a ham sandwich (hexb + 4 syns and a 33.8g “Surpise!” mars bar (7½ syns)
Dinner, though not what was planned was fine – sirloin steak, sweet potato wedges & cauliflower, followed by ML toffee yogurt & banana

Tomorrow
Breakfast: hexb 2 x Alpen Light bars (not sure if I’ll like this – I like the bars, but rather as a biscuit but I’m using up my stores this week) , ML yogurt & fruit
Lunch: celery soup - think we’ll need it tomorrow with the weather
Dinner: don’t know, but probably mug shot as it’s just me for dinner, fruit & hexa cheese
Snacks (choose from): ff nat yogurt & strawberries/2 garibaldi biscs (4 syns)/2 ginger snaps (5 syns)/1 chocolate digestive (4 syns)/cottage cheese+pineapple+ham roll ups
