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.

It is a very rare person who doesn't have to struggle hard, to lose the last few pounds. However, when I've been faced with someone bemoaning how hard it was to get the last couple of pounds off, I've always said to them - how will you keep it off if it's so hard to get it off?

Life is for living not struggling to lose 2lbs, which won't make a jot of difference to your shape anyway.

Trying for an artificially low target isn't worth it in my experience. Call your target now and you'll be able to go down (or up) by 3lbs before having to pay again - save yourself some money and heartache

I'e just made my own crisps and they were really yummy and as I am on a green day they are :j FREE :j


Grabbed a small potato, used my potato peeler to make a pile of very damp, thin slices. I spread them on a baking tray lined with magic liner stuff (ie really non stick). I think the trick is to get them as thin as possible.

They had 5 mins at 200 deg. Then i turned them over for another 5 mins, then I turned the oven OFF and left them in for 5 mins.

I took them out and gave them one spray of spray oil - sprinkled lightly with salt, and gave them just 5 more mins in the cooling oven.


yum yum yum!

I will have to experiment with parsips and carrots and other veg.

Thanks! They were really yummy

I have just submitted it to the SW website - I'm not sure it really counts as a recipe, but you never know, it could win me one of their books!!

Sorry, but wouldn't there be a similar argument to the lasagne crisps sparking up here regarding these potato crisps.... Lasagne sheets are free on green and there is still much confusion by some as to why they aren't free on a green once chopped up and oven baked........consultant31...

I only brought it up as I wouldn't want loads of people eating all these crisps when they shouldn't be???? It would be great if they are free though.

Im not sure they will actually be free, maybe someone else could clarify but i think its probably the same as the lasagne crisps?

Hi all,
Keep up the good work all of you!:D

I am in real need of some filling red day meal ideas. I've just had a red day and have been hungry all day. I'm going to struggle to keep motivated if I can't fill up. I do tend to have more green days anyway because of this but I love fish and most meat and want to keep having red days for the variety. I tend not to eat beef but otherwise I'm not picky.

Any ideas for red day meals which will fill me up?? All suggestions gratefully received .

Oooh - I have certainly missed any debate on 'lasagne crisps' (I've only joined this thread in the last week.

It would be interesting to find out though - It was interesting that for a fair few cripsps, I used less than one potato (about 50g if I had weighed it), kept the skin on and used only one (yes really) spray of the oil.

having not seen the lasagne crisps recipe (so please forgive if i have the wrong end of the stick) , if it is dried out lasagne sheets, then a portion of these would have a very high calorie/energy density value.

SW itself promotes 'syn free chips' made in an almost identical way to these baked 'crisps' so I can't imagine there would be a problem ???
