I'm nodding my head at all the points made here because truth be told I wasnt aware of some things and only until my consultant started raving on about Pages 10-12 on our book then I realised what I was doing wrong.
I think the best way to be successful is to start slowly and I know we all want to lose lots of weight quickly but that is not going to be sustainable in the long run and that is why I have to say I'm doing so well. My story is for the first five months of joining I NEVER stuck to my syns for the week as I found it difficult at the weekends but as I got used to it and saw the results then that slowly changed and now most weeks I stick 100% to plan and have over five stone gone now. It is worth it to lose it slowly as it will stay off and you will get used to the plan (of course you will get used to all the praise and looks you get too !!!)
Lumpyspaceprincess, one bit of advice if you like your porridge, there is a recipe for pancakes and apparently they are supposed to be lovely and fill you up, I will try and find it for you and post on here as I suspect you like your porridge, for me I love my weetabix and I have got used to eating two in the morning now
