Hey guys, reading all your stories and feeling inspired. I might go back to class, leaving class was on of the silliest decisions I made.
I agree with the putting on weight thing, it takes more than a week to put it on so it'll take more than a week to get rid of it!
Must keep that mantra in my head!

Ages since I have updated. I joined SW back in March this year and as of Wednesday I am down 3st .5lb so delighted. Finding the plan fantastic. Simple and easy to follow.
Still picking 5 things to cook for dinner each week and making sure I have all the stuff in the house, allowing myself a Chinese take away on a friday or Saturday evening and a lunch out. Cooking really fab and tasty food. I suppose it helped that I always liked cooking but now I make sure that it is mostly free food I use.
I use extra syns on lattes quite a bit and thats ok. Went out on 2 big nights out last week and used a bit of cop on. Picked carefully what I ate and drank vodka and slimline and used flixi syns and I was down 4lb this week. Was a bit surprised but totally delighted.
People are starting to really notice the loss now and I am planning a big shopping trip for September!!
Wow - that's great - well done you! I'm really glad to hear you lost weight despite the vodka - I had 5 vodka and slimline last night and was beating myself up about it today. Although I resisted all temptation for nibbles and had fruit, tomato, mushrooms and bacon for brekkie - which is so much better than I'd usually do after a night on the drink. I also did an early morning aqua class on Thurs - so hoping for a loss still.
I'm more than 1.5 stone down in less than 6 weeks

I was sure I was in for another gain this week as I was at a hen party, 40th birthday party and out for dinner a coupel of time, now I did pick week but was over syns on 2 of the nights by 3 or 4 and used flexi syns another night. So it works!!!
Made this SW dish for lunch today and it was yum.
Chicken yuk sung.
I did add lots of presh chilli as well.

There is always deals on every few weeks! So even if there isn't one now if you keep your eye out in the papers or certain magazines they have the deals on.
Just checked--> Buy the Bella magazine on the 24th July (Tuesday) and there is the free membership fee covered. It's valid from the 24th July until 7th August. So you won't have to pay the membership fee only the weekly fee 0 -

Thanks, I really appreciate it, getting my head around it now but htink i may struggle slightly with the Saturday night drinks!!!
I guess it just calls for a little bit of organisation to make sure the right foods are always there. i think ive already eaten more fruit today than all last week:)Catxscotch wrote: »Orange is Extra Easy, where you can mix all free foods, with one healthy extra a, and 1 healthy extra b. Red is pretty much meat only, with 2 healthy extra b's (which includes potatoes/carbs), and green is pretty much meat free, with 2 healthy extra b's. (which includes meat)
for lunch I have baked potatoes, beans, salads, leftover dinners from night before, pasta with no sauce, mugshots, pastan sauces etc. i don't eat bread at all anymore0 -
