desperate dad of 3!

Hi everyone,

I am 34 years old and have been slightly overweight for a while now. Someone mentioned SW was good so I thought I would give it a try. I have been reading about SW all day from various sources on line, however I still know very little!

I'm 5'7" tall and weigh 13.5 stone. I don't tend to eat a lot of junk food, i.e. crisps, chocolate etc. For an average dinner, we would probably have potatoes, carrots, cabbage and a piece of chicken in breadcrumbs, the sort of frozen food you would get from Iceland. We would then have a low fat yogurt after. What I would like to know is, does SW include that type of chicken or does it have to be chicken beasts etc? Reason why I ask is that a lot of recipes I have looked at look quite fancy and not something we would all eat, so would mean making separate dinners etc. Also can anyone explain if you have to have either green or red days or can you do both?

I'm really confused with it

thanks in advance.

Hi Dad!

SW is actually pretty easy, but it's best to save your questions for your first meeting when you will be shown how to use the programme by your leader (I've done SW in the past). There are not any 'forbidden' foods so you would certainly still be able to eat the same kind of meals. It may be that your portion sizes need adjusting, or there may some of those 'hidden' calories about; beer, fruit juice, sauces etc. Anyway, good luck for your first meeting.

Hi and welcome. Are you going to go to a meeting? It is the best way to do SW as you will get the latest books and answers to your questions. Good luck.
