Can I start a new thread? Hope you don't mind.
Just had a really bad weight gain at group tonight and need a fresh start. Thought a fresh new thread would help.
After a 6lb weight loss last weeek have just had a bad weigh in with a gain of 3 1/2lb. .
So tomorrow is a new day, start of a new week and I am going to work hard at it!!!
Who wants to join me for a good week ahead?

Summer is on it's way and we are all going to look good!

Hello.

Can you tell me if I can eat a red lunch eg ham sandwhich, bread being the he and then a green dinner eg potatoes and a pork chop, the chop being the he? I think thats the mix and max but does that sound right?

Thank you.

Do you have to follow the exact diet and do you have to write down everything you eat?

BethAndHerBrood · 15/05/2007 10:37

peaches, that's right. Depends what you have with your chop and spud, (and how big your spud is) , could your tea not be red as well?

Not critisizing (sp), but there's no need to make things more complicated than they need to be, is there?!

quadrophenia · 15/05/2007 10:39

ooooooooooooh can i join please. I started sw last week, I have my first weigh in tonight. I have had a good week, am tending to do more green days as it feels healthier. I feel quite nervous about tonight though as i really want a good weight loss in my first week.

huffpuff · 15/05/2007 10:43

hi all - not been following the diet very well this week! Weigh in on thursday night so hopefully i can manage to be good from now until then!

Really struggling with evening meal ideas atm. Cant seem to think of anything!

Lost 3.5 lbs last week and hoping to lose about 2 lbs this week but as i said, i havent exactly been good!

peachespaige · 15/05/2007 10:47

Mix to max sounds a bit tricky actually so maybe Ill have a red lunch (spicy chicken soup) and a red dinner(a chop) and have a potato and broad beans as my healthy extras with my evening meal.
Thank you for your advice.

ediemay · 15/05/2007 14:04

Good luck quadrophenia! I've been doing SW for 2 weeks now, only lost 1 pound in the first week but 4 in the second! Really pleased and am eating loads

ediemay · 15/05/2007 14:05

huffpuff, a friend has loaned me her SW Green recipe book and it's really helpful - ask your group if anyone has a copy

fireflyfairy2 · 15/05/2007 16:16

katylou25 · 16/05/2007 13:33

Got to weigh in tonight had another really good day yesterday and so far today - hmmm - can 3 good days wipe out 1 1/2 weeks of excessive indulgence......

I'm not holding my breath

Am going to go shopping tonight and try to stick to it all week next week - have got no plans for the weekend so no excuses!

Nemo2007 · 16/05/2007 23:12

Well I did it..I joined..have just done a Ocado shop and DH and I have sat pouring over the books so am sure I will become a regualar on the thread with a ton of questions..eek soooo much weight to loose but at the min I am focusing on 1 stone as then I am going to treat myself to a haircut[not been done in over 2yrs]

BethAndHerBrood · 17/05/2007 08:17

Well done for joining, Nemo, and welcome to the thread! I'm a regular, unfortunately, so you'll see lots of me!!
How did your weigh in go katylou? Is it good news? Mine is later this morning. I'm losing the will to live with it tbh! I had cheese and ham toasties for tea last night, then 2 chocolate biscuits. WHY???

izzysmom69 · 17/05/2007 09:10

Hello , I'm new to mumsnet, but not new to SW. Hope I can join you all. I joined SW in December of last year, and have lost 43 1/2 lbs so far. It has been such a life saver for me. I only have 47 1/2 lbs to go to reach my final goal. I'm almost half way there. Just hope I can make it the rest of the way!

BethAndHerBrood · 17/05/2007 11:07

I lost 0.5lb. Should be happy, but I'm not, so there you go! Obviously, I have got out of bed with my misery-arse face on today!! I was crying at the tv earlier FGS!!! It was very sad. Babs the rhino had to be put to sleep You even saw the vet put the stuff in her. How am I going to cope with neighbours later??!!

katylou25 · 17/05/2007 12:52

Well not entirely sure how but I lost 2 pounds ..... and got my 1 1/2 stone award AND my club 10 - feel a bit of a fraud tho cos I was sooo naughty last week!!!

Have done a big shop this morning - and it was all very virtuous - no biccies or choc jumped off the shelves and into my trolley like they sometimes do - so am going to be really good this week! I AM I AM IAM!

katylou25 · 17/05/2007 12:53

Ooops ment to Say well done BAHB

Nemo2007 · 17/05/2007 13:00

It's weigh in for me tonight - can't decide whether or not to go anymore. I've not been sticking to plan for about four weeks now and feel like it's a waste of money going.
