Support Thread #1 for 2019

[Groovee]

Starting the 2019 support thread for those on SW or those thinking of starting.

Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Groovee. In 2016 I was told to lose weight so I could have Gynae surgery. I joined SW in Jan 2017. Have lost 4.5st on SW 5.5st since 2016. Have been at target for 9 months now. Long may it continue being at target and staying there.

Have my new members pack and look forward to the challenges of 2019. I need to look for some new recipes.

Welcome @MissCherryCakeyBun

I'm weighing today. I feel dreadful though. Huge cold sore on my top lip 😭

Good luck @OwlinaTree and @FiveNightsAtMummys

Thank you, sorry to hear you are feeling rough groovee.

Well done cherrybun doing well!

Welcome @MissCherryCakeyBun
Good luck to all those weighing today.
Its awful weather here . . drizzle with light snow that doesnt stick and goes to mush. Makes you want to sit by the fire and eat choccy bics with a nice hot cuppa lol Going to make CFR for tea again. I make enough for 2 helpings so I can freeze half. I love it.

Are those pre packed mediterrean salads alright from ASDA if youre in a rush ? ? ? ? I normally do it myself but I was in a rush so I bought one of those Low cals about 35 .

They're in the chiller Boats.

Any salad is fine, as long as it's just the veg and no added oils/dressings etc that should be synned.

Good luck those weighing in today.

I hate Tuesdays. I'm so busy, I don't have time to go home for lunch after work. Went to Asda for my usual £2 jacket potato with beans, but they didn't have any, so currently in M&S eating a £5 jacket potato. Was yummy though, lovely crispy skin, done in a proper tattie oven I think.

2lb off this week! REALLY happy with that! Going back to normal syns now (as in just use them if I want rather than making sure I use X amount). Got some of those 1 syn and 1.5 syn biscuits from Aldi can't wait to try later. Good luck everyone who's weighing today.

Well done @FiveNightsAtMummys .

another gain. No idea where the hell this is coming from.

Which biscuits are the 5nights?

Never mind @ Groovee . You will probably have a run of good losses next. Theres no accounting for it.

Aah groovee that's rubbish, how annoying.
I've had a spectaculary crap week I know I've had a gain and I'm dreading tomorrow's weigh in.
To top off my fabulous week dd1 has nits
I've had enough of today so I'm going to bed when dd2 does!

I'm full of wind. Dh is mortified at how many times I farted in Morrisons 😂.

I'm nearly at the top of my target. Going to try increasing my water.

I'd not mind gaining if I'd had been off plan but 2 weeks of 100% and it's a 2lb gain 😭. Ah well the joy of target.

Gullon sugar free - there's different varieties so check app for syns but I got the ones like rich tea which are 1 syn and one like shortbread which is 1.5 syns. Just had 2 of each with a brew, was really nice.

I sympathize groovee, I've stayed the same!

Always annoying when you've stuck to plan

Ah, gutted for you both Groovee and Owl. Fingers crossed for a loss next week.

Not good over weekend and this week so far keep going over my syns!!!

Also giving me such bad stomach ache and constipation 😂😂😂😂

Maybe I'm not drinking enough water dreading weigh in already!

Hugs @OwlinaTree

Thanks everyone

@Windiepanda2018 good luck x

Well done everyone on their losses!

Weigh in for me today, 2lb off. So that’s 5.5lb off of the ridiculous 7lb I gained over Christmas. 1.5lb then I’m back to early December weight.

Thanks @Groovee

You'll get to target soon I'm sure 😀

Well done @Tobermory emoji [thumbs up] lol. Ive decided to write my own!!!!!!!!

Anyone know the syn value of super low fat noodles (chilli chicken flavour ) with these new changes ?

@boats16 2 syns

@Groovee gosh

Well done for all the losses! Bad luck @groovee - I’m sure it’ll start falling off again soon, could it be hormonal? Upping water is a good idea.

Pound off for me this week. Feeling good - just went to a really energising lunchtime yoga class and had a lovely veggie and feta frittata afterwards.
