Hi ,Ive been doing sw extra easy for a week now ,had my weigh in and have lost 2 lbs .
Most other people in the group have lost 4 or 5 lbs so am i doing it wrong? i have not used hardly any syns and been swimming twice and gym twice.

[MunchkinsMumof2]

Hi, sorry to hijack but just wondered if any SW experts know whether the leader can take money after you've completed a 6 week course? Thank you

[carernotasaint]

Ive been back at sw for a month and in the first week i lost 4 and half pounds and then 1 and half in the second week. Third weigh in and i gained a pound even though i stuck to it and refused bread cake sausage rolls etc at my nieces birthday and sat there with a mullerlight yoghurt and still bloody gained.Next weigh in is this Wednesday and ive kept a 100% honest food diary so we shall see. Got 4 stone to lose.

[jeansforever]

Well done carernotasaint that's brill , hopefully it will work itself out and you will loose again this week. As your coming back to sw how much did you loose last time?

[carernotasaint]

In 2002 i lost ten stone. Short version is im in a sexless marriage with a much older man and when i first lost the weight i had a long term affair with a work colleaugue. When that ended i comfort ate and gained back some of the weight. Thats the weight im trying to shift now.

Well done carernotasaint!! Don't let a small blip knock u off ya course
Well it was another 2lb off for me- though my scales said 4lbs haha it'll do it's goin the right way- I need to lose 2 stone x

[03angels]

jeansforever don't forget to keep us updated

[jeansforever]

Well done angels!! It's funny you say that as theres a 5lb difference between my scales and the ones at sw(mine the lightest) also my friend goes to ww and she weighs more on ww scales, i wonder if it's a conspircy of the slimming company's !lol I'll update on thursday after the dredded wi.

[03angels]

Lol jeans def thinking conspiracy
I'm def guna be going by my scales

[jeansforever]

Ha ha yeah i go by mine too , if sw were lighter i'd go with them!

[carernotasaint]

I get suspicious about their scales too. When i lost that weight i mentioned upthread ten years ago my target weight was 11 stone and according to their scales i was 11 stone 3 or 11 stone 2 and never below 11 stone 2 no matter what i did. I nearly ended up with an eating disorder.
So this time ive refused to set a target apart from the one in my head and thats where its staying.
I weighed in tonight and lost 2 and a half pounds and got my half stone award so im on my way but i do NOT want to be pressured this time.
Any toxicity services about my target weight when i reach it and the person displaying it will be cut out of my life whoever they are.

I Will be doing the same carer - I was annoyed when a girl at group was inconsolable as she had put half pound on and had taken to exercising 7 days a week- all well and good but this was a young girl of maybe 17/18 and after speaking to her she was 7 stone and 5 6- far far too skinny - screamed eating disorder to me ( I have teenage girls who's friends have suffered) but group leader was not worried!! Sometimes think its all targets and figures there interested in and not the person well done on you're half stone award keep it up

[03angels]

Haha jeans not bothered who's shows lightest but those will be the ones I go by hehe

[jeansforever]

Well i've had a good week and lost 3lbs so ive got my 1/2 stone award ! (even though on mine ive lost 11lbs) Well done to carernotasaint too!
There are a few people who have reached target in the group and the leader is drumming it into them that's a slippery slope to putting it back on if you stop going to group!

[jeansforever]

The challenge now is all the easter eggs , ive said i will eat a medium one not the biggest one as i usually do !

[Blondeshavemorefun]

hi -have just started sw -have always been a ww girl but just cant get the hang of ww pp and always gained if ate some/all my bonus pp

so for each meal you need to have 1/3 superfree foods

can some of you give me a rough guide to what you eat each day please


thanks :)

[jeansforever]

Hi Blondeshavemorefun , Today i've had fruit for breakfast ,lunch was a ham salad sandwich tea is going to be a chicken salad and maybe a mullerlight later if i'm hungry my A choice is always 250 ml semi skimmed milk for my brews and my b choice is usually bread.
I just try not to over think it and just make sure i have plenty of fruit and veg during the day just like you normally would and i also try not to have massive portions .
I drink loads of water and save my points up all week so i can have a curry and some wine on a friday .
Hope that helps a bit , you will have to join us and let us know how you go on.

[jeansforever]

I mean syns not points sorry!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Thanks jeans :-)

Well done jeans angels and blondes. I will be skipping the choc this Easter as ive not had any chocolate since Valentines Day and im too much of an addict.i just wont stop. There does seem to be an undercurrent of pressure at group though. We have a bloke in our group who has lost a LOT. I have to be careful not to out myself here. Hes done really well and looks great but put a comment up on the fb page that he disagrees that men find it easier to lose weight than women so i posted about my DH having pie sausage and chips from the chippy 3 times a month and two wagon wheels a day and my dh has lost 11 pounds. The sw member in question hit back saying he doesnt do that.Which is not what i was saying. What annoys me is that hes the one that brought up gender not me!

[jeansforever]

Carernotasaint - I think you are brill to have lost 10 stone ! just get to the goal you've set in your head never mind about anyone else .
I'm doing sw with my friend who was gutted this week as she put on , i only have 1 1/2 stone to loose so not too much put i think that's hard enough so hats off to all thoese who loose lots !
I must say i absolutly hate group and how the leader reads out who's lost what but i'm going to keep at it and try to help my friend who has quite a lot to loose .

[03angels]

Wow well done jeans how long has it taken you to lose the 11lbs? I have 2 stone to lose and was told by doc that if you have less to weigh it comes off slower!! I am also trying to keep off the Easter eggs but with 3 ds's an all they get from friends and family it's going to be hard but I will allow myself some
carer I agree with you about makes loosing quicker my dh put weight on quick but looses It quick too he's lost just under 2 stone in 4 weeks and he's been eating healthily too! And go u keeping off the choc u obv have great willpower
Hi blondes my diets more or less same as jeans' I don't like my curries and chillies bulked out with veg apart from onion and mushrooms and I don't really like veg but Iv been havin a salad with everything!! Hehe even a curry and it's true it is all about portion size I have bought myself a smaller plate but after 1 week I wasn't even eating all that!! My advice would be if you fancy something then have it just a smaller version- and I also save my syns for the weekend- I also use my weigh in day as a treat day - I don't eat all day after breakfast then after me and dh have been weighed we go out for food good luck and don't forget to keep us posted x

[03angels]

Jean that should have read " if you have less to weigh it can come off slower" hehe damn predictive text

[cantpooinpeace]

I joined again last week and stuck to it like glue - also drank my 2L a day - 5.5 lb off this week :)

[Blondeshavemorefun]

well lost 2 lbs this week - some ways more would have been nice, like others lose 5lbs like cantpoo BUT guess 2 lbs is better then a gain lol

[cantpooinpeace]

I have hammered it this first week though, moved more and only used 5-10 sins per day I do have 4 stone to lose though and I think you lose more initially when you're bigger.
