Anyone want to jump back on the SW wagon with me next week?

[beanandspud]

I did really well on SW last year until about August when it all went horribly wrong.

We had a good virtual group on here. A lot of us were doing it ourselves rather than going to a group but we had some fantastic 'group losses'.

Does anyone want to join me next week and get going again? I am planning to weigh in on the 6th...

Only1 - no need to weigh free foods. I felt exactly the same as you when I first joined, I thought there was no way I could lose weight when I was eating so much - I was wrong. I lost 9lbs in my first week!

Really....that's amazing....just worked out my syns though at 13.
Do you think I need to cut that down to really use.
I've had
Ten olives
Small glass wine
1 spoon low fat dressing
2 stick kitkat.

Sorry to really lose not use

I think as long as you're having less than 15 a day you will lose. I usually try to have less than 10 a day during the week and 15 at the weekend to make sure I get a decent loss.

That sounds like a good idea

I am guessing that this is the active SW thread?

Been doing SW since 7th January and have so far lost 20 lbs which is amazing seeing as I don't feel I am on any diet.

I weigh in on a Tuesday..

thats a fab loss jake - well done :)

wi tom, be nice to have lost at least one of my lbs i gained last week

b fruit
l ham salad and humous (3) and pitta (b)
t spag bol, lots of veg and cheese (a)

s crisps 4

Thanks.....am so determined this time,

Habe ordered a crisp maker for syn free crisps from eBay after a lively discussion in our SW FB group.....some great recipes been shared there.

Am hoping for a 2lb weight loss this week as I have been angelic so far.

Some cons say syn free crisps are ok - others say tweak and need syning

I did try making them and thought ok - tho prefer real
Crisps :)

Well done Jake, that's a brilliant loss.

I've been good today, out all day, 2 hours of ice skating and lots of walking so a fair bit of body magic! Had lunch out but made sensible choices.

B - Banana
L - Jacket potato with beans, cheese and salad followed by another banana
D - Pasta Bolognese with salad
S - Muller light yoghurt and some Ryvita minis (HEB.)

Well done jake 20lbs is great!

My collarbones are starting to emerge now, I havent seen those in a while!

My cons says the "syn free crisps" are a tweak too . She says syn free unless weight loss stops. ...if that happens then they either have to go....or be synned.

I have also splashed out and bought an Actifry which is fabulous for proper syn free chips. I have cooked loads of stuff in it though, a really good purchase.

Hello everyone can I hop on board?

I have reached a point in life where my fitness, weight and skin are are all less than ideal and I really need to do something about it.

I've not tried SW before - had good success with WW pre-DD but get the impression SW is simpler, more family friendly and more sustainable?

Can I do it myself using a book rather than paying online/class subs? If so what book would you recommend? TIA

Hi Big, yes you can do it yourself...am fairly certain you can get the starter packs from eBay.

Personally I like the group, we have our own FB site too now and it's a real laugh and great for sharing recipes and experiences.

I like SW as I can see it being something I could follow for life...I don't feel like I am on a diet as such......just healthy eating. I have even had nights out and still lost weight.

I did stay the same weight this week but after all those nights out I was waiting for it to catch me up.

When I weigh in on Tuesday though it will show a loss.

Forgot to check in!! Lost 5 pounds at weigh in on Monday, biggest so far!! I wasn't well last week and didn't eat much for two days so putting it down to that! Plus did an extra fight klub class which helped. Definitely noticing the difference now. Lost 1 stone 4 pounds, just under 8 pounds to target now..

jake I don't go to group. I was part of one before Christmas but felt it was a waste of money for me. I do it on my own now and have been doing ok!

Not jake, I meant big !

I'm really inspired by hearing these great losses....I've bought a little book called 100 extra easy days for inspiration....just planning my next feed!

lost 2 lbs :)

well done fluffy-fab loss :)

What inspired me 1scoop was my sister posting a food diary for a week on her Facebook page. She is a slimming world consultant in Sale. She set herself a challenge to lose 2 pounds in a week to show it can be done by eating loads. And she did it! I couldn't believe how much she ate, and I got loads of tips for snacks, sweet treats etc. Like jelly and meringue, rich tea biscuits. And some different meals. It really helped me as I was starting to get fed up with what I was eating. So mini meringues are my new best friend, on their own, in muller lights, I love them! 1 syn per meringue.

Well done blonde that's great!! I am hoping for 3 pound on Monday. I have sneaky weighed last night and had lost 2 pounds, this is the problem when you are doing it yourself and have scales in the house!

Ooh also me again, I went clothes shopping today, and I liked what I saw in the changing rooms. Its been soooo long since I felt like that and everything I tried on fitted!

Well done Blondes and Fluffy, fab losses!

Fluffy - I love clothes shopping now. When I started back in April I was a size 24 and could only really shop in Evans which is bloody expensive! I'm a size 14 now and can shop anywhere - I got some great bargains in the sales a few weeks ago.

I feel like I've eaten loads today but I've done ok, syns wise.

B - Banana and grapes
L - Small pack of sushi (2 syns) and a mugshot
D - LF sausages, SW chips, peas and beans
S - Yoghurt, mango and a biscuit (3.5 syns.)

Fluffy I didn't realise meringues were so low syn for a mini one....I'm going to be treating myself!

Just done a lovely all free beef stir fry out of my little book....bloody lovely

Out for lunch tmrw....I don't even want to go....scared to blot my copybook on first week

Well done girls :)
