Wow! You have done amazing!!!! I started the Cambridge weight plan at 18st 2lb and now weigh 14st 8lb and lost 5 dress sizes however, think I just made the decision to come over to sw! Can you offer me any tips?! I've briefly dabbled with sw but never done it properly! I have no idea if the syns are a compulsory etc!
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks Fay xxx
Hello there MrsP! Firstly - huge well done on your weight loss so far, absolutely fantastic! I don't know too much about Cambridge but think it's the shakes isn't it? Kudos to you, I could never do a meal replacement - I love food far too much
Are you going to be joining a SW group or doing it from home? If you are going to do it from home there are some stickies in the SW section that explain the plan and a whole huge thread of people who actually follow from home.
Putting the plan super simply - there is one called Extra Easy and basics are :
* you can eat unlimited free foods. These are your carbs, and lean meats (so remove all fat and skin, mince has to be ex lean - less than 5% fat)
* fresh fruit and fresh/canned veg are superfree foods and are also unlimited.
* have at least one third of your portion as superfree
* enjoy between 5-15 syns a day (anything that doesn't fall under a free/superfree or healthy extra has a syn value)
* chose one healthy extra A (dairy) and one healthy extra B (fibre) a day.
It's really the easiest one to explain but drop me a PM if you want to chat more about it.
Good luck xxx
