em that's such good news! Keeping everything crossed for you.
I've also not really found the muller/mug shot push in my group. My consultant DOES love a hifi bar but I guess she makes money off of them so has to push them a bit.
I don't eat all of that type of stuff either. I did eventually give in to fry light (the butter one though, the sunflower one is disgusting) as I was spending all my syns on oil and butter, but you don't have to spend them on chocolate and wine and can use them to make your meals more interesting. My example is id never make a Syn free risotto, if I'm having one I'll use that days syns on butter, cheese and wine for making it taste amazing, rather than have a bland dinner and a Freddo bar afterwards.
The SW 'science' does work. It's a low fat diet. You have to use an ounce of common sense along with it though, just the same as anything, I.e. Don't eat your body weight in 'free' foods just because you can.
You can only try it though. It won't work for everyone. If you can't enjoy your food and feel full on it, then you won't stick to it.
Anyway, I'm back on it today after 3 days off. I will gloss over the fact I was supposed to be back on it yesterday. But I weighed myself this morning and I only appear to be a pound up on last week's weigh day weight so I've got till next Monday to sort that out. Had an absolutely lovely weekend though and don't regret it at all.
