I keep looking at muscle food and if I had a bigger freezer I would definitely get some stuff from there. They have a great lean/extra lean selection.

Another good one is Joes sausages for syn free sausages.

just looked on there...wish we had a bigger freezer. xxxx

Made sw egg custards today but think I cooked them a bit to long. Plus made sw sweets with jelly they have a really strong strawberry flavour from the jelly. Not sure I will make them again. Xxx

Hi girls. I'd planned to try and do SW without joining a group but I think it might be easier as I'm not sure of free foods super free etc. Anyone tried to do it just from magazines/online recipes? Now that easter is out of the way I'm getting back on it. Someone at church asked me if I was pregnant today so I think that's all the kick I need to try and shift this excess.

I honestly cannot imagine doing it with just the recipes and magazines. I really think that going to group and having that support helps so much. But I think Lindsey did it without joining if I remember correctly?

 

[topsy]

I tried to do it online and I needed the structure of a group- and still struggled ( gained last week for the second week in a row ) but good luck any questions just ask hun, we will try and help hun xxxx

 

[Katerz]

I tried a couple of years ago online and it didn't work out for me. I need the weekly group I think.

If you decide to try without joining there is a fab group on Facebook called syns allowed where there are tonnes of pic albums with all sorts of foods and their syns x

I have lost 9.5lbs in 3 weeks and got slimmer of the week the past 2 weeks

This weekend we had to spend it in Sheffield as it was the ice hockey nationals and my partner plays, so Friday night was tgi fridays, sat dinner was harvester, sat tea was chiquitos, Sun dinner was at the rink, Sun tea was Chinese, now all those meals I chose healthy options and gave OH all my chips and had extra salad with them all, i skipped 2 McDonald's breakfasts too and i came home dreading the scales as even though I've chosen well it's still cooked in oils etc, but my scales say I've lost 1lb!! So here's to a good 3 days before my official weigh in Wednesday.

I lost 1.5lb today, pretty amazing seeing as I ate 3 easter eggs last Monday! Got my stone award aswell, very happy.

I agree I've tried sw without going to classes before and I failed miserably x

 

[AngelUK]

Well done Gray and that is really great Carly!

I had a maintain today but I am quite happy with that cause all week when I weighed myself at home it looked as if I would have a gain of 2 lbs or maybe 1lbs. This morning I had lost them again but you never know with clothes on and different scales. Stupid AF always makes me gain. So the maintain was good. Plus I got my 2 1/2stone award that I achieved last week. Now I really hope this week will be a loss! Summer is coming!

 

[CarlyP]

Wow well done Angel, 2.5 stone is an amazing loss!

I am going on wednesday to the group for the first time to sign up. I am so nervous and need some advice. I suffer with anxiety so im not very good around people. Just need some advice on how the group with be and what will happen first time?

 

[CarlyP]

In my group newbies sit in the corner with the leader explaining the plan for half an hour, (while members are getting weighed) then they're invited to sit in the circle and listen to the weight losses for half an hour. Then i you want to still join you fill out the form and get weighed at the end when everyone is packing up/leaving.

It is daunting, but you probably won't be the only one joining that night, everyone that goes is there for the same reason as you so you already have something in common with them all.

 

[Katerz]

The same happens at our group as it does Carly's.

Just remember everyone is there for the same reason and not there to judge. Good luck xxx

Thank you for taking time to explain.
