Hi there. I did SW last year after DS was born and lost 3 stone. I found it quite easy once I'd got used to it.
I rejoined last week (online as can't get to classes now back at work)as I want to lose another 1.5st.
I follow the Extra Easy plan,I don't really understand the red/green days!
Good luck!

MrsHoolie · 06/09/2011 13:58

I did it years ago when it was red/green so do a mix of both. Its ok don't stick to it ridgidly but use it as a guide. Just onfused about a few things - can't find the syns for an avacado and i can't find an option for ryvita in my daily diary and i'm sure it is a healthy extra?? to be a healthy BMI i'd have to lose about 4.5/5 stone but i'd be happy with 2 or 3 stone off to be honest :)

MrsHoolie · 06/09/2011 18:24

Have you got this month's SW magazine?there is someone in it who's lost 20 stone Shock
I use the mags for recipe ideas. The've got a 7 day meal planner for Extra Easy too for ideas.
I was the heaviest I'd ever been after DS,God knows what I was at the pregnancy!

I re-joined last week and lost 7.5lbs this week Smile

AstronomyDomine · 06/09/2011 18:44

I rejoined in May this year - have lost 1st 8.5lb so far, weigh in tomorrow night.
Avocado is about 2.5 syns per 28g I think ...14 syns per average fruit.
Ryvita is healthy extra b - 4 biscuits or 2 biscuits speed.

TheMonster · 07/09/2011 19:25

Well done, Astonomy.
I love avocados. I miss them.

Sofabitch · 07/09/2011 22:05

Well done. That's great. I'm eating so much. I can't stop thinking about food Blush I'm at work for a double night shift and I've already eaten the fruit and yogurt I brought in for breakfast and am now thinking about munching tomorrow's lunch as a snack Blush despite eating a huge bowl of chilli for tea (free on EE)

There is a SW thread called The Big Fat [something] and the Day of Doom or similar. Look out for it, it is great for advice and recipes.

I joined in June and have lost 1st 10lb and it has not been too hard. Sofabitch I have a similar amount of weight to lose as you have so you are not alone!

Cheeseandbiscuits · 07/09/2011 22:22

I rejoined early last month and have been following it religously having between 6 and 11 sins a day,measuring my milk and having my Healthy Extras and have lost the princely sum of five pounds in seven weeks. Not happy.

Sofabitch · 23/09/2011 06:39
