    I agree with Skint-Catt Evie.
    If you really cant afford it try to go it alone, i am doing that at the minute, and it is a bit harder but it is possible. I use this thread for my support and ideas and i have lost 16lb in the last 6 weeks.
    If you dont have the motivation it is very hard, I can give you 30 or so excuses as to why I should just eat what I want, but at the end of the day I'm very unhappy being overweight and there is nothing anyone else can do to change that but me! Stick in if this is what you really want and you will get over this glitch! :T

    what they said
    ^^

    you've come this far - don't even think of quitting now. after a while you get into the routine and as more and more weight goes away you get very motivated, you love that you've lost so much and your self esteem goes sky high too.

    I never had motivation before - but now I have lost 2st 10lbs - there is no way on gods earht I am giving up Sw for some time to come.

    Please don't stray - it is hard work at times , but the rewards are so, so worth it - stick with it and come here for support :grouphug:

    Welldone eveie on your loss. 2lbs is a fab amount to lose each week. I can imagine it doesnt feel like much aftr your 9lb loss the first week, but that sounds perfectly normal. It can seem like the long haul, but its an enjoyable plan once you get into it. And think about it, if you lose another 2 lbs next week, that will be nearly a stone in 3 weeks thats would be a fantastic result.
    keep at it and keep posting here if you need help..we all do.

    evie - do thet have that rubber fat thing at your group ? ( I hate calling it class :mad: :mad: ) - if they do - that's 2.2 lbs - so you lost one of them - I'd be happy to loose one of them every week :j :j

    My weigh ins have varied so much from an all time bad - gain of .. ehmmm actually don't remember - thiks it was either 3 or 4 lbs - to a miraculous loss of 5lb - but it's mostly losses/gains of 0.5 - 1.5 lbs with the odd 2 lb . so it's steady as we go rather than dramatic :D

    Oh my god I forgot about the lump of fat! Its disgusting - but it weighs 2.2lb as J'man says - and it HUGE! Its a lot of fat to lose in a week and it makes you feel good even if you've lost half that! :T
  • hi everyone hope you have all had a good weekend

    i'm having a mix and match day today

    B porridge heb mix with 0% greek yogurt and berrys

    L j pot with hm coleslaw 2 syns i put some L fat mayo in mine

    D sea bass new pots heb green beans

    milk for coffees hea

    snacks mug shot mixed in with tin mushrooms

    Sounds like a yummy plan - just one thing though, on Mix 2 Max, you are only allowed to snack on superfree food, or it has to be synned.

    This means that depending on the variety of mugshot you are planning to have, it could be between 9.5 and 11.5 syns. Hope I have mentioned it in time, as I wouldn't want you to be in :eek:

    Well done Evie, you're doing really well, far too well to give up now! I think I worked out that £4.50 for SW was cheaper than the 'foody extras/treats' I often buy for us, and we'd all be healthier as a result. The kids can use their pocket money for junk if they want (they don't, only the bigs are 'foodies' here, lol).
    Anytime;)
  • oooh angie i didn't relise that i thought i could have the mug shot as long as i put some speed food with it.:o i usually have my snack about 4ish cause thats when i get the muchies:eek:

    Hi

    I'd like to say thanks everyone for being so motivating. I am now over my urge to quit the plan completely but think I will have to go it alone. I can't believe I was gonna quit because I lost 2lbs!!!! Maybe I should save my tantrums for when I put on 2lbs lol.

    Anyway thanks again
