I've done SW on and off for years, but 7 weeks ago I treated myself as a new member and I got my stone award last week. My advice now that I'm doing it properly & not kidding myself anymore:

Write everything down. Even if you are over-indulging in syns, still write it down so that you're being honest with yourself about what you're eating.

If you eat out a lot, plan what you want to eat before you go by looking up menus online and giving yourself a choice of SW friendly options.

Don't write a day off. You can always take back control of what you're eating. Don't think you've blown it by going off plan sometimes and make matters worse by continuing to eat even more crap. Get straight back on plan again and limit the damage.

Enjoy whatever you are eating. Don't eat things just for the sake of it (like Mugshots). Use the recipe books and suggested meal plans to come up with delicious healthy food.

Take a look at the success stories online and in the magazines for inspiration for what you can achieve.

Join your group's closed FB group if they have one for invaluable help & support between sessions.

Good luck! (The hardest bit is making that decision to go in the first place).
