Hi All,
I have been reading everything with great interest. I have never done this diet before - have always done Weight Watchers but I am sooooo fed up with counting points. I think because I have been doing it for so long on and off I can't stick to it anymore.
I have the directory although it is a old one and a food optimising booklet that tells you all about the red and green days. In my book it says that you can have Healthy Extras)1 from (A) and 2 items from the (B) list - three over all is this still correct?
I think my biggest problem is going to be alcohol. I think I get the general gist that wine is 5 syns a glass can anyone tell me what - Half Sugar Bicardi Breezers are :beer:!! At least the good thing about this diet is it makes you cut down drastically on your alcohol intake. I am allowing myself 10 syns a day as this seems to be the average amount you are allowed.
I am going to log on to this site whilst at work for inspiration. Unfortunately I work from home so the cupboards are always calling to me to take a peak inside as I pass them on the way to the loo!! Arrgghh:mad:0 -
Evening all! Well survived the day without major incident! Got breakfast from a cafe over the road who do SW food and decided to have lunch ordered too so had that but didnt count the curley wirley until after I ate it & discovered it was 6 syns!! Wish I'd have known that before I ate it!! Lesson learned. Then went to Asda and got good food choices and have had pasta, tofu for tea whch I'll also have for lunch tomorrow...might have a yog later and feel hungry even though I've eaten loads!!Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1!

Morning everyone,
Weigh in today, very happy to report loss of 2½lbs, which brings my total weight loss to 14½ in six weeks, my first stone :j:j:j. Just 7 more to go :eek:. Going to be on this for a long time yet.
Hope everyone has a good weigh-in and ((((())))) for those who don't.0 -
Hello Im new can anyone help me please?
I'm really upset at the minute,I cant stop crying.
I lost 5 stone on lighterlife but then put 2 of it back on over the past 18 monthsmy friend is getting married soon & I need to fit into my bridesmaid dress I have 6 weeks to lose 1st 10lbs.
I recently went on Lighterlife again and lost 14lbs in 10 days was really happy & decided to go onto SW to maintain it however in the week I've been on SW I've put on 7lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just don't understand? I must be doing something wrong?
I am so embarassed I didnt go back to class last night and now the password wont work when trying to check everything i have eaten is ok?
Can anyone help me please I just dont know what to do?
Thank you x0 -
First of allhave a (((HUG))) vicxzy. And a virtual cuppa:coffee:
You have done so well losing all that weight so far:T . I am not an expert on the SW plan but there are a couple of consultants that post here who usually pop in on an evening.
Keep going with your class though.........dont give up sweetheart, you might be making a simple mistake with something and dont be embarrassed I am sure the consultants have seen and heard it all before.
You are aiming to loose alot of weight in 6 weeks hun and the SW weight comes off slow but steady I find around 2 lbs a week is about the norm.
Others more knowledgeable than me will be along soon to give you SW advice. Chin up:grouphug:But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
Thank you Louise
even 2lbs a week would be so good at least I would fit into my dress then
