Well I lost a stone since last August with SW and I am managing to keep it off but I cannot seem to get any lower, it is one pound on, one pound off, maintain, one pound on........so fed up!!! While I think SW is the best and healthiest eating plan around....I am heartily sick of it. All the recipes are the same ingredients over and over again....it all takes so much forethought.......I have given up bread, dont drink alcohol, never eat takeaways, very little fat etc......what the dickens are you supposed to cut down on.

Yes do have my chocolate but mostly synned. Just having a moan really.....please ladies, if you are under 40 and overweight, get it off now...when you are in fifties it is nigh on impossible to shift a few pounds. Taken me since last August to lose a stone!!!

OK I am not that big anyway, but it is so disheartening to hear of others losing 5lbs a week or even 2lbs. I am 9 stone 9 1/2 pounds and would like to get to 9stone 5 or a tiny bit lower. Anyone else had this and how did you get the gumption to get to that target??? I shall be paying for the rest of my life at this rate.

I am 52 and have an underactive thyroid which also doesn't help, but when I got stuck I went on the rampage for 1 day eating anything I wanted and I believe that shocked my body into getting rid of 2lbs.

Sometimes you can be just too damned good (don't you think (

I've just devoured a huge piece of steak with a plate full of salad followed by fresh fruit salad and muller light yoghurt................that hit the spot! I'm thoroughly stuffed now too.

I'm having a Virgin Vie party on Wednesday - any ideas for nibbles & munchies I can do that non-SW people can eat and enjoy without realising what they are eating?

Thanks, TG x

fruit kebabs, snack a jacks in a bowl, lasagne crisps (hot topic on here!) with some quark/garlic style dip, (Morrisons free) sausages on sticks?, peachests sausage rolls - this sort of thing?

If you go onto the SW website and look at their recipe archive, they have some snacks that you could do

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If you're a fan of fruity malt loaf, you'll love this terrific recipe for Weetabix cake. Packed with juicy sultanas and mixed spices, who would have thought breakfast cereal could taste so good? And at only 3½ Syns per slice, it makes a wonderful snack or pudding![/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]2 Weetabix

142ml 5floz water
113g/4oz self-raising flour
1 teaspoon mixed spice
14g/½ oz artificial sweetener (optional)

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC, 350ºF or Gas Mark 4 [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]2. Put the Weetabix and sultanas in a bowl. Pour the milk and water over the top and leave to soak up all the liquid. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]3. Stir in the flour, mixed spice, sweetener and beaten egg. [/FONT]
