i must admit irene all my days were green days when i lost 1 and a half stone 3 years ago on sw and i do find it easier. i always find it difficult to decide what to have on a red day other than meat and fish of course. where is on a green day i use lots of quorn products to go with my rice, potatoes and pasta. lindsay.

Hi Lindsay,
I like some of the Quorn products - not keen on the mince tend to buy Asda's own which is a couple of syns but IMO taste's nicer whether it is Spag Bol, Chilli, Lasagne etc in fact the whole family eat it even though I am the only one that is a vegetarian. Love quorn pieces in a yoghurt and tandoori/garlic sauce (made myself) and again totally free. Divine with wild rice.
Found a recipe for Tomato, rice and pea soup - my consultant checked it out and it is free on green. Anyone interested PM me. I made it and the following day it had really thickened up - more like a stew than a soup.
Back to work tomorrow so going to stay on track as I feel I am having a good week. The toast mid morning at work is heaven but I will try and decline. :o

Hey, Hey, Hey it's weigh day :!: The wanderer has returned!!!! I lost 1.5lb this week, I failed miserably Fri-Sun though so I know I could of done better.

I managed to gain my full 26lb I've lost since starting out here (gradually grant it - up, down, up down).

Was away for our child free hols to Costa Brava feeling and looking very fat!! A lot of my summer clothes didn't fit :cry:

My problem is plain old greed :oops: I eat very well and healthily and am never hungry I just WANT things and when I get a notion in my head I can't get rid of it!!!!!

Can't wait till Halloween is over as I've been buying lots of goodies/sweets for the kids that will be coming round the doors on Wednesday.

The main thing is that I have found my way back!!!!

hi joolz well done on losing your 1.5lbs :P i know exactly how you feel when a notion for something gets in your head :( I always give in :oops: it stops me from bingeing on it. if its choc i just have the treat size bars or the kiddies bars, if i try to fight the notion after a few days i'll end up munching on the bigger sized one's but thats how i cope with it.

My good news is that i'm slimmer of the week :hyper i lost 2.5lbs tonight and that brings my total loss to 50lbs i'm over the moon :P

Irene i was telling my class about you tonight so everyone has to bring a recipe with them next week. I also bought a new recipe book in class tonight so hopefully i'll find some tasty one's to share with everyone.

:gluck for the week everyone.

hi ya Lindsay and joolz - saying no has been the hardest word i have ever had to learn in my entire life!!!! :lol: when i first joined sw it used to kill me to watch my hubby eat take aways (i always had a secret cry in the bathroom :oops: ) it took a very long time but now it dosen't bother me so much, i tend to stick to noodle dishes now but i do enjoy a blow out every now and then!! :D :wink It's been a hard journey and i've still a fair bit more to go, but i'm finally starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel :D i think this site is excellent, it gives that extra bit of encouragement that i need. Thanks for all the support. xx

Well done Denny

I lost 3.5lbs this week I was really surprised as I didnt think I was that big loser :lol: as I had my chinese and alcohol as the weekend.

I just love this diet eat,eat,eat.

Good luck to everyone at their weigh ins this week. Keep up the good work.

Thanks all !!!! I still can't believe I lost so much so quickly and still ate loads and loads. The great thing about this diet is that you just don't feel you are on a diet!!! I've done some really daft diets in my time but SW is just so easy (once you get the hang of it)

Good luck to everyone else and thanks so much for your support everyone.

Hi everyone :wave I'm off on my hols on saturday :pele i can't wait, i'm going to put sw to the sidelines for two weeks and drink like a fish and eat like a pig :lol: my hubby loves walking/exploring so hopefully this will compensate a bit (i just have to remember to go with him instead of lying at the pool all day). So the very best of luck to everyone :gluck over the next few weeks hope you's all have a good loss! Take care, Rachael

PS i got the '100 comfort foods' recipe book on tuesday in my class it was only £2.95 but well worth it, (now that winter is here), some of the recipes just sound sooo yummy can't wait to try them when i get back.
