    Lost 5 stone with weightwatchers. Been on the plan on off since I'm 16. I'm 24 now! Put back on 2stone outta the 5.
    Started back in college and have a routine back, so decided to get back on the wagon! Instead of rejoining ww for the millionth time, I decided a change was in order and joined sw.
    On day 4 and really enjoying the plan! Eating loads of fruit and veg! Had an amazing lunch today of homemade burger with salad, onions, mushrooms and pepper and some potato cubes made like sw chips!
    Having a Chinese tonight to use my syns! Hope I'm doing the plan right! Seems too good to be true!
    Hopefully il see a loss at weigh in Tuesday!

    Just be careful - there's a lot of hidden sugar in Chinese takeaway and most of the starters are big syns and don't go near the prawn crackers! Otherwise ... enjoy ;)
    Also, even though it's "free food" you do have to be reasonable with the amount of carbs (pasta, rice, potatoes etc) you have - especially if you have porridge or bread for your Healthy Extras. I found even though I was sticking to the plan I had to reduce carbs to get me losing again after I'd lost 2 stone ...

    I'd often get a sts and then a 3 or 4 lb off the next week and then another sts, and nothing really varies week on week - weird but as long as it's going down that's what matters.

    Hi All, New to SW was a WW member for years... 100% not knocking their system... i just felt that i was in ww for so long on & off that i just felt like maybe i wasnt doing ir properly or guessing pp etc. so i decided to try SW as im bridesmaid at my sis wedding in March so i needed to do something different. At the moment i personally find the plan much easier for me to manage knowing whats free. I find myself eating alot healthier. First week i lost 2.5 ...second week i had a night out for my bday drank some wine (not loads) and had dinner etc... but did 3 5k jogs in that week and i was up .5 on Tue WI... so disappointed but i know i did eat healthy and im not letting it get to me as it HAS to show in the upcoming weeks... still trying to get my head around certain things but suppose it will come in time :) Well done on the losses everyone!

    You will be flying it. It was suggested to me that after exercise one should drink a pint of water to replenish water lost. The theory being if you don't, your body holds on to water and that throws your weigh in out. Not sure how scientifically sound this is but it sure can't harm you anyway :D But well done, don't knock yourself, any loss is better than a gain!!!

    Went to WI tonight and was +1lb :(

    Not really surprised cos I was on and off the plan all week, although I weighed myself this morning on my own scales and I was down a lb. Anyway after eating all wound me I've decided not to dwell on it and put my all into it next week, have a christening on Sat for my nephew but I'll prob make my own SW friendly food and bring it with me :)

    best thing to do!
    I was up 2lbs last week, but I had to face facts, my weigh ins have been up and down because I haven't really followed the plan properly.
    I took the chance to talk to my consultant, and while she didn't offer me anything new, it was just so lovely being able to say outloud that I had trouble keeping motivation.
    This has been the first week that I've kept up full motivation, really happy and proud. I've even been able to have a few small snacks, but generally within all my syn levels. Can have a few chocolate buttons then give the rest to friends to finish. Normally I just need the taste to get over the craving and then I'm ok

    hope you get on better this week!!

    Yeah :)
    I lost 2.5 lbs last night...8.5 in total

    I was absolutely beaming when I saw this, it was the first week where I have consistently kept motivation and I actually believe I deserved the loss. Every other week that I have lost, I felt it was a fluke and it was generally followed by a 1lb weight gain.

    long may this motivation continue :)

    By the way, if anyone hasn't tried them yet, the SAS logs are quite helpful
    nothing new or wonderful, but a great wee way of promoting mindful eating and seeing where our downfalls are

    they are small sheets similar to the food diaries

    on the front side, you tick if you have any goals for the day "eat more superfree, prepare meals for the day etc"
    and you also get to tick what your potential downfalls are "petrol stations, not preparing etc"

    on the other side, it's similar to the food diary, but you write down the food in the order you eat it
    -select whether it is free, superfree, syned, how many syns
    -if you weighed or estimated the weight
    - if it was planned or spontaneous etc

    if you fill it out consistently it makes you more aware of pitfalls and your habits with eating
    I know myself that my pitfalls are the 3pm slump, not preparing breakfast so I end up eating too much cereal, or buying multipacks of hifis or alpen bars. I can easily eat through an entire packet :-o

    hope that explains it
