Well done to you too karen! I felt good before I went tonight as my best friend's dad's stepson's girlfriend was in their house (god that was a mouthful) I haven't seen her for a couple of months and she said "My God Emma, I didn't recognise you, you look like a different person!"

great when you get comments like that - i weigh exactly what i weighed when i came back from my honey moon.

comments from the class tonight was that my trousers were too bigggggggg

Excuse me for saying.. but.. why do call them leader?? They are called Consultants..

Hi Everyone

I'm a newbie to mumsnet but boy! am i glad i found it!

I'm especially glad i found this section. I joined SW eight weeks ago and so far have lost 1st 5lb, i seem to have hit a plateau now.

I would like to lose another stone (finger's crossed) and I do think I will get more help and advise by logging on here than I will going to class.

It's really helpful of you guys who announce the weekly internet password too, thats the only reason i keep going to class and paying my £4.50!!
My consultant is about 4stone overweight herself and it's not very motivating, she is not exactly a good advert for the diet.

Well done on all your weight losses and many thanks for all the great tips, recipe ideas and motivation!!

Well weighed in last night and lost another pound so thats 8 1/2 in a month so am really chuffed - now only another 4 stone to go!!!!

Hello, sorry to crash your thread but I have a question. On a green day can I have chicken twice as my healthy extra b choice, instead of say bread and chicken??? Congrats on the weight loss.

Well done everyone on your losses this week! This is such a good thread,very inspirational and brilliant for food ideas.I lost a pound so now 4 1/2 in 3 weeks, seems so slow but at least going in right direction. Yes you can have 2 lots of chicken as Heb if you want Peachespaige. I have started having fruit instead of cereal in the morning so that I too can have more flexibility with my evening meals. Was a bit naughty after weigh-in, treated myself to a toasted teacake, haven't dared look it up as I had butter too! Whoops! But if you can't be a bit naughty on weigh in day when can you be!

Hi & welcome Serenity3 - keep going to class it really does help! Its true tho the girls on here are fab & have great tips.

You say you've hit a plateau.... however if you look at it another way you've lost 19 lbs in 8 weeks... that's 2 lbs per week - a good & healthy weight loss... it'll also mean you are far less likely to put it on again.

Keep going at it & try some speed foods (if they still have them on SW - its been a long time since I went to class) plus execise.

Hi Joby

Thanks for the welcome and for the words of encouragement.

I did try speed foods at the beginning of this week, mushy peas to be precise. Oh boy! The wind!
My stomach blew up like a balloon!

I have just got myself a pedometer and am trying to exceed the recommended 10,000 steps per day BUT, that was before i discovered Mumsnet

But i will keep going to class, i think the weigh in will keep me on the straight and narrow, plus, i like getting the awards!

I love mushy peas - always have a tin or 3 in the cupboard! I can even eat them cold

Thanks Shauna. I have fruit and very low fat natural yogurt for breakfast and I love it!! Lots of water melon and gala melon with strawberries, blueberries and banana. Im contemplating making cookies with my ds as hes bored, only not sure I trust myself.....

Hey girls, still looking for low syn fat food. How many syns in a waggon wheel?? Bored of jacket potatoes, my latest green fix is spagetti with pesto. Highly recommended is roasted aubergine pesto, 2.5 syns per tab. Worth every syn!

Only one pound off for me on my first week back. I was slightly surprised though as I have been off work and laid up in bed for three days with flu type symptoms. I have hardly eaten anything.

Wagon wheels:

Double chocolate 8 syns
Jammie 8.5 syns
mini, crunchy 5.5 syns
original 8 syns

Ok im on a mn meet up tonight at a mexican resteraunt wtf can I eat that's relatively low syn? I know about veggie chilli but what if they don't do this?

I have a food directory..under Mexican the best choices are:

chilli con carne 8.5 [or 10 on an original day]
Enchiladas [beef] 17
[Veg] 14
Guacomole 10
Loaded skins with sour cream dip 10 [or 15.5 for original]

Rice is free on green.... [as you well know!!]

veg chilli is 3.5 on a green day.

Tortilla chips & salsa are 18 both days

If there's anything specific you want to know I will happily consult my book for you

I really hope they ahve veg chilli then I can have a green meal with rice. I fthey don't i'll have to have a red day or mix 2 match and have meat chilli on it's own.

Oh is chilli con carne lower syn on a green than a red?

Can't you use 8.5 foe chilli con carne & have boiled rice?

Yes, it's just 8.5 on a green day

yes I can can't I! I was thinking it was 8.5 on red not green but that's brill if it's only 8.5 on green and i can have rice as well.

you might wanna stay away from the beef burritos [37syns]
chicken chimichangas [37.5]
chicken quesidillas [33.5]
veg fajitas [36]

Hi everyone, I've been doing SW online since new year and I've managed to lose only 6 pounds...this might be why...
I fell asleep on the sofa last night next to dh.
He woke me up to go to bed, and while I was cleaning my teeth I noticed bits of crisp on my toothbrush.
I asked dh, "Have I eaten a crisp?"
He replied "You had about 5 or 6"
I had been eating crisps IN MY SLEEP!!
I'd asked for them - while asleep - and he gave them to me!
I could have choked to death!
What's worse - I couldn't even remember eating the farking things! I want to be able to enjoy my off-piste moments!
