First weigh in today, 5.5 pounds lost! I had a major bad day during the week where I went way over my syns, but I saved them the rest of the week. Can't believe I had a loss!

Well done !!! Certainly at the beginning you will always have the odd day that's crap but don't worry about it, enjoy it and be good after. 5lbs is a fab loss !!! You must be delighted

Ah the prep thing is crucial isn't it! I've got into the habit of a weekly shop directly after weigh-in (when the motivation levels are nice and high!) and I make big batches of falafel and tomato pasta sauce etc but I get bored easily so like yourself, I wouldn't find the planned meal appetising every time!
Would the Iceland ready meals be an option for you? They could be a good back up.
I miss pizza, haven't given in to the temptation yet

My favourite food in the whole entire world was Chinese chicken curry. Oh man. anyway, about two weeks ago we got a take out and I thought this is grand - first Chinese in months, gonna plow into it.

It was rank. It was awful. The vilest taste ever. And it was from the same Chinese as we always got it from. My oh thought his was the same as always but I was completely turned off.

I am sure that's a positive thing but I was raging

Theres a SW book called Fakeaways and does all different type of take away type dishes, some are fab. Its worth getting and having a look at the recipes.

It has been a while since I last posted and I can't remember if I updated last week's results...

Last week, I lost 4 lbs which was a total shock to me as I never lose more than 3 lbs, I also got my 4 stone award!

I then went away and drank copious amounts of beer, ate things I shouldn't have had and weighed in last night and only put on 1lb, which I was delighted with! That was only my 2nd gain in 7 months!

I now stand 2 lbs away from having lost 6 stone in total so on the whole, I am more determined than ever now!

Thank you, It is probably around 10 months or so, maybe slightly more, I was calorie counting before that. I have lost 4 stone with SW in 7 months.

I don't lose huge amounts each week so I am happy with how it is going.

Well fair play, that is brilliant, a nice steady loss! I love hearing stories like yours, it really makes me stick to plan:)

I've just mixed some garlic and parsley into some quark, and put it in a pan for a minute to let the garlic breath, as I love creamy garlic cheeses but they're full of syns..... will this be syn free too ?? I want to put it in some pasta with mushrooms ( Tesco are a godsend with they're bags of frozen precut mushrooms:D )

Yes that will be syn free, great idea I must make this for my mum some time (she's doing SW too and she loves creamy sauces!)

Hope you are enjoying the sunshine ! I am down another 3 pounds this week so delighted. I was just wondering if you have children did they have problems with food and weight before you yourselves started SW ? My kids have been annoying me about change in food. Have you seen dramatic improvements in there behavior since the change in diet?

I have 3, ages 10, 7 and 5. I would have always cooked from scratch, only Friday night they would have had chips. They are so interested in my food, whatever I cook they are asking how many syns, which is healthier etc. Not a hope they would eat salad or stir frys etc. I did buy an air frier frier, threw out the old deep fat frier, kids love the chips from that and they get them more often now, the sw version.

I have found them to be really into it, I get them involved in the cooking of dinner, unfortunately as said my kids aren't the kind that eat everything but what they do eat is good. I think they are conscious but not overly of healthy eating which is a good thing.

Exact same here! not my kids but younger siblings, they've become so interested, and when they pick up something to eat they get very curious about how many syns etc, they also love the recipes...


Ugh I had a few vodkas last night and will be having a few tonight as I have not met up with my friends for a long time, no syns for me for the next week!!

I hate writing this but I just want to share my guilt instead of hiding it . I hit a brick wall in the diet sense last night. I had a really crap day and there was no food in the house had a crap day in work and went shopping on an empty stomach . Big mistake ended up eating a load of junk and a take away. Feel like I am back at square one again how do you come back from here. Having the drink , chinese and chocolate sweats here . Jeff

Don't beat yourself up - just draw a line under it and start again today. Also maybe look at what you're eating and see if you can introduce some regular treats etc so you don't get fed up/ feel deprived again? I still have a takeaway every week but go for a healthy option that fits in with my syns

I haven't posted here in ages, have been very up and down the last couple of months. Will power has been flagging, a holiday,nights out, general gluttony etc. I got to within 3 lbs of my 4 stone target and now I'm 8 1/2 lbs away!
I'm so annoyed with myself, but you are all very inspiring as usual and I'm properly back on plan this week and feeling (cautiously) hopeful of a decent loss in Tuesday.
I'm thinking about trying scan bran next week, has any one tried it? Did you get good results? And also, how much is it in group? I just looked it up in Holland & Barrett and its 2.15 with buy 1 get 1 1/2 price so it could be cheaper there? Thanks all, sorry for long post!

Welcome back PennyWren!
I quite like the Scan Bran, it's quite a coarse crispbread with a similar texture and flavour to All Bran cereal i.e. pretty bland but not unpleasant! It's nice with Quark and smoked salmon. I like to munch on a couple of them with salad too, adds a bit of texture. It's quite filling too - definitely more satisfying than other crispbreads like Ryvita.
Haven't bought any in a while so can't remember the price but I seem to recall noticing it would be cheaper with the BOGO offer in H&B.
I prefer the oat Scan Bran (in the red pack) to the wheat one (in the blue pack), it's not quite as coarse and I found it easier to digest if that makes any sense at all :rolleyes:
Good on ya for getting back on track. I've been pretty good lately but just ate toast in a moment of weakness... ah well, I'm going to draw a line under it and not beat myself up over it!
