Me too orla, I've taken to totally disregarding syns at the Chinese if I really am feeling the need for one and just picking what I want, rather than what is "low syn". I don't trust them to be in any way accurate, especially when a Chinese round here is a totally different meal than when I used to live in Scotland for example, even when ordering the same thing. With that amount of regional variation, I refuse to believe the syns are in any way comparable so I've sort of been considering a takeaway a rare treat that doesnt get counted rather than a regular synned treat

Hi all, getting back on the wagon on Monday and I have to say after a shitty year and gaining back 2 stone of a 3 stone loss I'm looking forward to a fresh start! I joined this site back in 2013 but never posted until yesterday. lol

Welcome back fairywishes, best of luck on your weight loss journey.
This is a great site for support and advice if needed. I've joined the quarterly challenge thread. It is running from January - march you add your results each week and blue cow will update a spread sheet for us all so it's a great little challenge to keep the motivation going x

Hi guys, I've been reading your posts for months now but never actually commented. You're all doing so well. Such inspirations. I've been doing sw for 6 months and have lost 3 stone 8lbs. Little Xmas blip with 5.5lb gain (but have that under control), will hopefully have that gone this Tuesday. New year and new focus for everyone. Good luck

Hi everyone I'm back again! Had my baby 16 weeks ago and am back in group this last 6 weeks need up update my stats and signature lol hope everyone is well! Xx
need up update my stats and signature lol hope everyone is well! XxHi miss_taken. I know I should be concerned about 5.5lb gain but I'm really not! Yes I ate and drank more than I should have but I think the bulk of the gain was down to Pms bloating so I've had my head down this week and followed the plan 100% so hopefully it'll pay off on Tuesday. As well as that I kinda think Xmas only happens once a year so id prefer to enjoy the week than be lusting over everyone else's food and feel deprived.
Wow 16 week old! Omg...Round of applause ? most new mums aren't nearly as focused as that. I'm really impressed, How are you getting on?

You really shouldn't be concerned. 5.5lb over Christmas is nothing and as you say, you had a good time. You've proved you can shift the excess and you're determined. You have nothing to be concerned about. I have 4.5lb extra to shift too (on top of the rest to target) but I enjoyed myself and I know I can get rid of it as quick as I gained it xxx
Hi everyone I'm back again! Had my baby 16 weeks ago and am back in group this last 6 weeks
Congrats on the baby and welcome back
xxxHi siobhan, the main thing that works for me is planning ahead. After I weigh in every Tuesday evening I do a menu plan for the week. Really helps to keep me focused, I very seldom have to think on the spot about what we're having for dinner that day. The only thing you have to remember is to take meat/fish out of the freezer the night before!! I also keep a food diary. I update it everyday (only takes 2/3mins) again keeps me focused, great for keeping track of how many syns I've used etc
Hope that helps a little

I never sat down and did a meal plan for a week, but I think it will make me more organised and focused. Any time I do my food diary I lose weight, back to basics!
