    Most muller lights (the plain vanilla, strawberry, fruit flavoured ones) are free. Tbh I'd use them for when you have sugar cravings rather than as a couple of times a day thing cause of the sugar content.

    I got my sister to buy me two (wasn't at class because I'm broke til I have welfare sorted with work!) after I weighed myself (my scales match sw scales thank god), hoping and praying they'd be like Terry's chocolate orange :D

    SP day tomorrow so I'll use them for one of my B options :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,176 ✭✭✭dee_mc


    They taste exactly like a chocolate orange, unbelievable value for 3 syns! Much more satisfying than the double choc, which is usually my go-to hifi bar!
    Enjoy them and well done today!

    Went to sw today. It was my birthday during the week. I decided that I would enjoy the day and had a meal out along with a few other treats.
    I ate plenty of free food the 2 days before but ate less syns.
    The day after my birthday I went back on plan and went for a walk.
    I went for a 3km walk another day and got back to the gym also.

    My attitude was I was going to enjoy my day. I would have been happy to maintain and if I was up slightly it was going to be gone next week.
    Before sw if I had a bad day it would lead to a bad week.

    Today I was down a one and half pounds - now over 3 stone gone.
    I have a social event in a few weeks which will be full of people that have not seen me since last Christmas. I plan to have a few great weeks now as I want to have 4 stone gone my then.
    Good luck to every one this week. Agree with other posts the new choclate orange bars are lovely.

    Weigh in day rolls around again :eek:

    I have tried so very hard this week (5 days SP and 2 red days) so I am desperate for a good weigh in.

    Today I am wearing size 12 tops, I started in tops as size 24. So delighted! I am going to a BBQ tonight, it is my Parents 47th wedding anniversary, I am bringing my own sausages but I will have my first flexi night in ages :)

    They are rather rather nice !!

    Raging - my leader said she'd have the choc orange bars in class on Tuesday and then they weren't there when I got there. Apparently the delivery man attempted delivery 3 times but she wasn't there :(

    Has your movement/exercise increased at all ? Eating well will only get you so far, at a certain point you need to do more to burn off those calories as the body doesn't need as many.

    You really need to keep varying the foods, your body gets used to the same foods so try to introduce new ones and keep mixing things.

    Yea I walk my dogs most days, and I have recently got a job in contruction, so I'm kept going.
    I think I'll introduce new foods,


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Vahevala


    Do you have much more to lose? My losses have slowed dramatically the closer I get to target. Maybe increase the water as well.

    Have you seen the new SW veg book? Only got to glance at it yesterday in group but it looks great, you might get some new ideas there.

    Maybe try to vary what you're eating - i was the same having the same things all the time and it took me 2 months to lose 1.5lbs!! I was gong up and down but not actually getting anywhere until I changed things up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,482 ✭✭✭Hollister11


    I have about another stone to go until my target. Maybe that's why it's slowing down.

    Yes I am more or less the same as you to go, it gets much slower the closer you get and harder to shift the weight but hang on in there.

    Do some SP days each week? The loss of things like fat free yogurt, pasta and potatoes/rice on those days will make a difference.

    Are SP days really effective if you do them on and off,=. Do you not have to do a week of SP ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,154 ✭✭✭Dolbert

    2/3 days a week should be plenty.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,482 ✭✭✭Hollister11


    What do you ear for Breakfeast on a SP day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭Penny Tration


    What do you ear for Breakfeast on a SP day.

    For me, an SP day goes like this (remember, you get two B choices on an SP day):

    Breakfast - omelette made from three eggs, chicken, spinach and tomatoes, with some strawberries and maybe an apple if I've got time.

    Lunch - sandwich on Brennans Be Good wholemeal bread (B choice number 1), with bacon and cheese (A choice), an apple and raspberries.

    Dinner - salad (turkey, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, lettuce, cucumber) or a Bolognese (lean mince, sauce I make myself from passata, garlic, basil and cayenne pepper) on a bed of veggies (usually carrots, cauliflower, broccoli) instead of pasta.

    Snack - two hifi light bars (second B choice).

    Might use 4.5 syns on a pack of skips with lunch, or some more syns for butter for my sandwich.

    2 and half pounds down yeah!!
    Sp is best done 2 days a week imo.


  • Registered Users Posts: 390 ✭✭StillThinking


    2.5lb off today and found out the hard way I'm allergic to the new choc orange bars, sickened, they are so yummy!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 181 ✭✭dcfc91


    Got my stone award tonight, I'm so pleased as I was at a wedding last weekend and was fully convinced that I had gained despite getting right back on the plan the day after.
