carry on and dont get down lanismum. and eat your syns, honestly, it makes it easier, more likely to last and more enjoyable. i also find i loose weight more when i am having syns x

What I mean is I lost 3lb from mon-thurs, but that isnt official iykwim, then only 2lb from thurs-thurs, still, its a start

Hi everyone, I had my first weigh in yesterday, 2lb off........., but, I started the diet on the monday and didnt go to my group till thurs so between mon-thurs I lost 3lb stupid body! anyway its coming off thats all that matters, I am hoping for a bigger loss next week though, its def there to lose I only had 14 syns all week last week so did think more that 2lb would have come off.........

I also got some of the hifi bars when I went to the group, lovely!

I know someone earlier was talking about their not so great consultant....well mine looked at the scales, looked at my food diary, and said 'is that ALL you ate'

Ohhh you lot have made me want ti even more Id ont have any HEB bread in though, and not enough syns for a slice of bread & peanut butter! Will have it tomorrow though!

Peanut butter is 4½ syns for 1 level tablespoon - well worth using syns on in my opinion (yum).

PartTimeParent: I lost 4½stone when I first started with SW which was just after my eldest daughter got married and I was faced with the photos. Pity I didn't do it before the wedding, lol.

It was summer time and I found it really easy as I was going strawberry picking every day and eating them by the basketful.

It took me 3 months to lose 3stone and a further 3 months to lose the last 1½.

I have always said that the hardest part is maintaining your target and I still believe that. The recommended way to maintain is to add a HEB each day (therfore having 3 Bs and the 2 As) for a couple of weeks and seeing how you go. If you continue to lose, add another. It's really trial and error to get to a place where you can jog along without either losing or gaining.

Of course it can be done, there are many target members as proof of that, but it does take a lifetimes commitment. There can be no going back to the bad old ways or your weight will go back to where it was too.

Thanks jananet and sowhatis.

Well done Ilove and sowhatis, resisting temptation is impressive

littleoldme, I am useless with the days as I only do green, the rest all sound too complicated so am glad really

Will struggle tomorrow as I am at a party, so will have to think carefully about what to have.

How much exercise is everyone doing?

Or depending on how much milk & cheese you had you could syn the milk.

It's approx 0.5syn for a dash of milk in a cup of tea/coffee.... you would probably be looking at more depending on the cheese, so I'd syn the milk. prawns, lamb both free on EE & bread HEB. Easy In fact, it's Extra Easy

Stripey, save the peanut butter on toast as a treat Use the toast as a HEB & syn the peanut butter (I looked the SW site but couldn't find it!)

sorry not sure. my guessing would be

HeA - milk
HeB - bread

syn cheese.

prawns would be free on EE anyway and so would lamb. i only ever do ee, so not sure of the other plan

Quick question.
I'm on an original day and have had He cheese,milk bread and prawns.
Dh has just rung to say he's bought lamb chops for tea. By my reckoning that means I change to an EE day if I syn the cheese - Right ?
