Occasional poster here - I do try to read all the posts but i'm surprised when I go away for an afternoon and there are another 4 pages:eek:

I too have a lot to lose so I'm taking it a stone at a time

Can I use any fat free or nearly fat free yoghurts with fruit and take them to be free food please. I have had weightwatchers last week because they were bogof. I've also used lasting satisfaction and irish diet yoghurts. Someone kindly looked these up for me and they are free food.

Well done to gpuss. I read you stopped going to the gym did you lose the weight without exercise please? (I hate exercise).

on the choclate front, cadburys magic elves are 3 and a half syns each (they are a bit like a freddo), be warned though they have popping candy in them, but they are still a great choccy fix without too many syns.

If anyones got a lot to lose Tesco £5 jeans are a lifesaver! My old blue jeans are stupidly big on me now - not even a belt works! - so I bought some of the Tesco ones - they are small in sizing, so when my M&S 18's got too big I had to buy a size 20 in Tescos to fit my now 16 size (I couldn't get into them when I bought them but now they're getting baggy!) but you get my meaning! Warning though - the regular length are very very long! :rotfl:

Ah frig.
Maintained for the third week running. Really annoyed as I've been extra good recently and felt like I had lost some but alas no. Maybe I should eat a pile of cream cakes and watch the weight fall off as often happens bizzarly. This food optimising thing is surely a form of voodoo.

Right, I'm off for a lettuce leaf and a sulk!

this has happened to me for the last 3 weeks also!
I am getting really pee'd off and have given my food diaries to my consultant who is also baffled.
she said she would put me on the "fast forward" plan if it continues (discussed elsewhere in the thread)
sometimes i wonder if i am eating too much "free food" especially as i only do green days...

LadyV & Star Jumper.
Maintaining is frustrating, can I suggest a couple of things that have really helped me? Sorry if you've already tried them,
Firstly are you drinking plenty? The more i drink the more the weight shifts, no idea why, personally some days i'm convinvced its the running to the loo that does it, lol. but it really has helped me.
Also, do you vary what you eat? are you having same hea's & heb's all the time, do you always have cereal for breakfast? or lots of one food, even though its free, i.e. in a green day do you always eat loads of pasta, but not rice and/or potatoes? i've found i have to really jiggle things around to keep the weight moving, if i eat a lot of 1 thing, it slows everything right down.
its so frustrating maintaining, but persevere, just remember that you are eating healthier than you were before and your body's reaping the benefits, even though its not showing on the scales,

big hug to you both, i've been there and know how pants it feels,

That wasn't me, I think it might have been harrassed-gf (but I may be wrong:o). I used to hate the gym and I'm not keen on exercise either, but it really helps to tone you up as you lose weight. I take the dog for a good walk, as it doesn't seem like exercise, and at weekends I walk around the shops as well. You can walk for hours and don't really notice how much you do. Anything that gets you moving (housework, gardening) speeds up the weight loss and helps to firm you up.

You can tell I'm feeling more positive - that's thanks to you lot :A xxx
