So I joined SW last week. Never been a member before. Am very overweight but feel like I have reasonable knowledge of nutrition etc. So week one I didn't really follow the plan to be honest, never got around to properly setting up the app etc. today I weighed in- no change, kick up the backside to download the app and do my research. I have now used the app to track my food intake. It wasn't a great day food wise but honestly I don't know how I will ever stay at 5syns! I am currently on 65!!!! And I am still hungry. Mind blown.

Thank you for the ideas. I appreciate them. I just need a bit more planning and to erase the wraps/bread from meals I think. Plus to cook without oil. I made the caramelised onions without the oil or sugar last night and it made surprisingly little difference, so that is a positive sign. For breakfast I often have a fried egg in a wrap with a little cheese and that needs to be completely reworked sadly!

To add, I lost 2.5 stone in around 8 months. So slow and steady. But (and I know this isn't SW orthodoxy) I really recommend having days where you have no syns, and try for as many free food meals as possible. The SW cookbooks are really helpful, albeit a little too meat focused for my liking. Never once did I let myself go hungry - so by cutting out syns I felt I could shovel in free foods to keep my full. The reality with syned food is that it's not filling. you want to always feel satisfied
Oh and I really would cut out alcohol. It's such an easy win.
And shop sensibly. really plan it
Good luck!
