    Morning all.


    Well I don't think I've ever drunk so much since I've been on SW but had a lovely time so I'm not feeling guilty at all.


    Despite eating the next fortnight's syns during the weekend, we went for a 10 mile cycle ride and felt really good - even on the hills so am pleased even if the scales went in the wrong direction.


    Back with it today - bought the Quaker Oats Pumpkin Spice packets on the weekend which I found in a discount store and have brought them into work for when I haven't prepared breakfast - they were OK but given I used all my hea allowance on that & a cup of coffee, they won't be a regular thing!


    Also made an effort to call into Asda on the way to work to buy my lunch for the week.


    Will try and go cycling again after walking the dog, and plan on having a stir fry for dinner.

    Well done on your loss majorica. All good to see it going in the right direction.:T


    So pleased you enjoyed your syns GTQ, especially the cheese and you with the wine GTS. I hate it when syns are wasted.:(


    Not sure how today will work out. We're off to a funeral this afternoon so although I'm having lunch first I may be tempted by picky bits later. If not, I'll take Bolognese from the freezer when I get home. Then this evening I might feel the need for wine syns to either celebrate or cry into:footie:. I'm inclined to go dancing and keep out of the way but I've got a filthy cold so may not feel like it. Decisions!!:)


    I've had a SW breakfast (HEB porage with HEA milk) and I've got a good lunch planned (ham, tomato, mushrooms, asparagus, fried egg and fried potato) but after that is anyone's guess.


    Definitely back on plan properly tomorrow.:)

    Hi All,

    Hope everyone had a good weekend and enjoyed the lovely weather!

    After a gain of another 1lb this week at group, I am seriously thinking of quitting group and saving my £4.95. I am just not getting anywhere.

    What are your thoughts on this? The only thing I would miss being able to get is my hifi bars, but it all just seems a waste of money at the moment.

    Do any of you used to go to group and left to follow it at home?

    Yes I did. I went to group for 3 months at the beginning of last year then followed SW at home. Group was good at the start in that it helped me understand the plan, which I wouldn't have done without it, but I didn't like the whole group bit after weigh in so it seemed pointless paying to get weighed. I carried on losing at the same rate from home, though the last few pounds were a struggle! I know some people get a lot from going to group but I used this thread and various websites to help me. I'm at target now but still weighing weekly and still following the plan with a bit more flexibility which seems to be working for me.

    I suppose the thing is if you're not losing when you go to group, what will be different about doing it from home (other than saving a fiver a week!)?
