Hi can I join please? I was on another SW thread about 2 years ago and lost nearly 4st but made the mistake of switching to WW PP and fell off the wagon badly! DP and I started on Sunday, weighing ourselves on the wii. He has lost 5lbs already Envy but I have resisted weighing myself yet as I want Friday to be my weigh-in day so I can use my saved syns for wine

FlatCapAndAWhippet · 25/04/2012 21:18

OH NO! Assumed Onken fat free vanilla yog would be free, the same as Muller Light yogs but no, 5 sins! Big mistake Grin

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/04/2012 22:06

welcomekung - i also wi on a friday so can enjoy fri/sat and if veeeeeeeeeeery bad then can be good rest of the week

oops bout yog :(

whatkungfuthat · 25/04/2012 22:23

I was supposed to be having a red day but had to take DS to the docs (ear infection, nothing serious) so by the time I got back I didn't like the look of what I'd cooked. Ended up switching to green and had super low fat noodles!

BellaOfTheBalls · 26/04/2012 06:43

Hello can I join too? I've been back on plan for almost 6 weeks now & have lost 10lbs. I was 13st 8lbs and in an ideal world want to be around 11st 7lbs so I'm delighted it's coming off so quickly! I go it alone & don't go to group but my DP does it as well. He struggles as alcohol is his vice & so when he has a "night off" he really goes for it.

I tried the plan back in October but found it very difficult with BF (I do EE) and I think all the HE's impeded my losses. I'm still BF but only get a couple of extras and am finding it much easier. There's definitely a difference - I had to have my dress taken at my wedding dress fitting. We get married in 3 weeks and I'd love to have lost a stone by then!

MercuryRising · 26/04/2012 07:01

Hi ladies, can I also join you? I have been doing SW since Jan but have only managed to lose half a stone!Blush I haven't been to a meeting for 3 weeks and have decided to start weighing myself at home so there are no excuses. I want to lose another stone and a half, but really need some help to stay motivated. I am going to weigh myself in a minute and start afresh from now.

Weighed myself this morning, have lost 3lbs since my initial WI on monday morning. DP has lost 6lbs though Envy Thinking about doing steak with roasted butternut squash (in spray oil) mushrooms and onions for later.

FlatCapAndAWhippet · 27/04/2012 14:52

ooooh what , that sounds like a lovely dinner. mmmmm

whatkungfuthat · 27/04/2012 15:10

Change of plan FlatCap I couldn't get a nice bit of steak so we are having prawn risotto instead. I'll syn the wine and knob of butter, the parmesan can come from HE. There will be onions and perhaps some butternut in it for the 3rd superfree.

BellaOfTheBalls · 27/04/2012 15:23

whatkungfu it seems to come off my DP faster as well. I weighed myself this morning & have also lost 3lbs since Mon so hopefully if I can maintain that until Monday I'll be 2lbs off my first stone.

Roast chicken for us tonight!

mampam · 27/04/2012 15:29

kungfu prawn risotto sounds really yummy.

After my meltdown a week ago, I knuckled down and lost 3lbs this week Smile

jeansforever I have never actually set a target weight. I find that if I start thinking too far ahead it freaks me out and I feel like I could never achieve it. I've lost 1st 8lbs so far and am just going to concentrate on getting to 2st and take it half a stone at a time from there.

whatkungfuthat · 27/04/2012 17:03

We are going to a party tomorrow night so I'm doing SW Burgers with wholemeal rolls from HE before we go, then hopefully we won't be tempted by naughty party food.

Someone who started at my SW group a couple of months after me when I went 2 yrs ago has lost over 7 stone Shock, but I think the last stone took 6 months to come off. Its made me more determined to get back on it.

FlatCapAndAWhippet · 27/04/2012 18:48

Wow 7 stone.

I've just munched my way through scrambled eggs, baked beans, fried toms and mushrooms. Just what I needed. Delicious.

I am eating much more than before joining SW.

Prawn Risotto sounds just as lovely what Smile
