Yes broken I had a stinking headache for nearly a week when I started SW. It was the sugar withdrawal and caffeine withdrawal I think. I used to eat LOADS of sugar 
. Try to drink as much water as possible and it will pass. Good luck on your weight loss journey, I'm 11 weeks in and 1.9st lighter.

Yay Lemony, glad you like the teacakes!
Well...last night's meal out was definitely NOT on plan! Three courses, plus it's the sort of place where they give you loads of extra little nibbles before your meal too...I don't even want to estimate how many calories the whole lot was! Lowering syns to 5 a day until weigh in on Tues, and will drink soooooo much water today - think my salt intake was pretty high last night, so will help!
Today's plan:
B - none. I still feel bloated...
L - tuna and mixed bean salad
D - Moroccan chicken tagine with preserved lemons, couscous with coriander and lemon, and my carrot salad - which I need to work out the syns for, as it has dried fruit and fruit syrup (instead of honey) in it.
Skinny latte HexA, not sure about the HexB. Maybe the dried fruit. We'll see...

Hello all!
First weigh in this morning, and have lost 6lbs. Am happy with that as have had three meals out this week, none of which were on plan. 
Think my saving grace was being back in work and hardly having the time to eat Thurs/Fri.
So a great start, I'm happy. Couldn't stay to meeting unfortunately due to childcare issues so hoping I didn't miss too much. Did overhear three members getting to target whilst waiting to be weighed so that was nice. 
Food Plan for the day:
Brunch - SW Cooked Breakfast
Tea- leftover chilli, jacket potato, Mexicana cheese as a HexA
Syns - am off to the cinema later, so will take something with me, French fries or hula hoop puffs.
Food order arrives later so I shall plan for the week. My girls are back at school on Monday so our routine will change a little again, will just have to see how I go.
Love that this thread is so active.

Thanks for all the good wishes for Dgrandson. Yesterday he was improving, so just taking one day at a time.
Well done Joey and other losers! And for those who have not lost, keep going and you will hopefully see it next week.
I was shocked that the lady had the nerve to say that negative comment at your group, Lemony. Our consultant always says not to say "oh, that is a lucky loss, I have no idea how It happened" because it is so disheartening to other people in the group who have tried all week and have not lost! I do hope the consultant said something to her in response! (I am sure Em would have done!!)
Welcome to newbies and returnees.
The only way to quench my munchies last night was to bake a cake, so I baked a scan bran chocolate cake and then proceeded to eat half of it - but with no guilt and hoping for a 3lb poo, too!! I then finished the cake for breakfast with defrosted raspberries on the top and a muller light. It was delish!
For dinner tonight I am going to be adventurous with some 5% pork mince and a cabbage. ( mince with onion, garlic, mushroom, and then wrapped in cabbage and oven baked) served with rice, I think.
With no sugar jelly for pud.

Joey - Scan bran is a "thing" that tastes like carpet tile and comes out the other end like sandpaper! It is very SW friendly and you can do an amazing amount of things with it. You buy it at the SW groups, or Holland and Barrett - although H&b have stopped selling it in shops and can only be bought online now from them. It speeds weightloss due to the massive fibre dose! Someone here said to have 2 scan brans (the size of ryvita) a day for a regular aid to weight loss, or there is the scan bran challenge, which is to have 4 scan bran a day for 5 days. When I did that I had a 4.5lb loss, which is massive for me as I am a 1lb girl normally. You can have them as your HEB, or 1 syn per scan bran. You can make sweet and savoury dishes and there are loads of recipes. If you don't expect too much from the recipes they are OK, but don't expect anything too much- I look on them as an aid to loss rather than something to look forward to eating. They can be eaten with just cheese spread, or tomatoes on them as well. Oh and you need to drink gallons of water to help them through your system.
Sorry, that was a bit of an essay on scan bran!!
Well done Molly on your loss. Within a touch of club 10 - go girl. I am hoping to get mine this month.
