I'm new to SW, joined online on Monday (28th). Finding it ok so far, easier to eat and feel full on this than on WW.
I feel less obsessive on this one than I did on WW. WW does make you think about the food you are putting in your mouth (which is a positive, to a certain extent) but for me, it also made me constantly think about food - how many points it would be, how many points I had left, the constant (and unhealthy) urge to save as many points per day as possible (I was on 19 and would limit myself to 15 most days). I lost plenty on WW, 10lbs in 4wks but after about 8wks I hit the plateau and found it really hard to stick to after 4/5wks of neither losing or gaining. For me WW replaced one unhealthy attitude to food with another extreme at the other end of the spectrum.
I don't have a lot to lose in the grand scheme of things, about a stone max. I know people who have had lots of sucess on SW and also, most importantly, have not turned into points bores but have found maintaining their weight after the loss to be pretty easy.
As I say, I am an online SW member (meetings are just not for me) and as such have access to the recipes online etc, which I'm impressed with. The meal I'm struggling to be imaginative with is breakfast. I work pretty much f/t with early starts and so don't have time for the scrambled egg on toast type ideas, so most days I go without breakfast. I know this is not ideal.
Please inspire me with great breakfast ideas! Ideally things I can take to work with me. At the moment I am eating fruit (banana & nectarine/apple) at around 10am, but to be honest, it's not hitting the spot!
