My uncle did Lighter Life and 2.5 years later is still keeping off the 9.5 stone he lost on it - he used to always have a soup mix with him and he'd make a soup to have if we were eating out, or he used to smell our plates without giving in to tasting it! Make sure you drink water too as he said if he ever felt hungry or tempted, he'd have a glass of water first then find that was enough to distract him from wanting to eat :-)

nuts are very healthy but don't go wild on them. They have natural healthy fats in them so don't go overboard. Also make sure they aren't roasted as roasted are full of bad fats. If you have time make a boiled egg and the proteins in that are fantastic. I also have carrot sticks for when I'm peckish (not great for taste but fill you up and great for your skin). Chewing gum is great as well for when you just want to pick and aren't particularly peckish (I am rubbish for picking any food that is front of me-I don't even really have to enjoy it) xx

Keep up the good work everyone! I've been off the thread for a little white as I've hit my target weight loss however i have managed to maintain this week just! I think that's the hardest so far, trying to resist temptation of being off diet but trying to regulate food so you don't loose or put any on.

@ Elliekitty, what about if you give yourself 3lbs either way, then maybe you can relax alittle?

Re-joining you ladies!!!! Iv put on so much! I am now 11st 11 :-(!!!

Had porriage for breaky followed by yogurt and banana
Crumpets for lunch (naughty I know)
Tuna, pasta, tomatoe, grated carrot and broccoli for dinner followed by mixed berrys and yogurt!

1lb off for me tonight. 2 more and I'm back to where I was before my naughty gain! Tuna pasta made for lunch and tea tomorrow as I'm out till 10pm.

Thats fab blondmumma!

2 Alpen light bars and a banana for breaky
Egg mayo sandwhich at uni for luch and some tuna pasta when I got home
I dont know what to make for dinner yet! busy evening of packing, cleaning and gymnastics with leah!

In 3 weeks I have lost: 1 stone, 3cm off chest, 2cm off waist, 2cm off bum, 3 cm off hips and 1cm off each thigh!!! Soooo happy! :-)

The breakfast Ive just had was gorgeous! 2 weetabix with milk, 2 chopped bananas and a large handful of little grapes. stuffed now though!

Good luck princesspixie, I love SW, love it even more when I stick to it and get good losses :) xx

Oh no Sijen, it's rubbish when you have a week like that, but at least you know how to get back to it as you've lost so much and you're so close to target!

I lost 1lb this week, not great but good enough! Nearly a stone lost since New Year, got just over a stone to go before the wedding - hopefully!

Can't wait to do my measurements & weight tomorrow!! I have been on my diet for 2weeks now & been so strict... hope it pay's off :-)

i have got down to my target weight and just had my final fitting... needed to have dress taken in a bit! exciting! but now i have to stay this exact same size for 2 weeks... scary stuff!

cadbury chocolate philli mini pots are 4.5 syns each.... and worth it!!
I just used a wholemeal pitta bread for my healthy b choice, lightly toasted it and warmed a mini pot in the microwave for 20 seconds and then sat dipping and enjoying. Feel like i have eaten a whole chocolate cake!! Probably the most indulgent thing i have had since i started sw... what a lovely yummy treat, satisfying and filling and all for 4.5 syns. Could also dunk strawberries / grapes etc for your superfree :D

That sounds like a gorgeous treat blondmumma! Im going to have to be soo good now, had lasagna (not the healthy way!) with cake and ice cream last night and havent had a good weekend at all because Ive been away. Back to it today and see if I can rescue anything for Wednesday weigh in!

well done on all your fab losses!

I lost another 2lb, giving myself my 2.5 stone shiney award just in time for my wedding :D Now the corset is off i am only going to be enjoying myself for the next week and a half..... ill come back and get back on it after the honeymoon :D

I've been really good this week with my snacking (not been keeping a track of my weight at the mo as im not hugely fussed to lose a lot just yet), but have tried to be eating a bit more healthily. I was doing great until today. i'm travelling with work and for some reason its so much harder! just got back from dinner and completely pigged out... thats carrots for me for the rest of the week :( x

2 stone gone!!!!! as you can imagine i am waling round in trouser that just want to fall down!! dresses and tights all the way!! :-)

Well done on getting to your target blondmumma. You must be chuffed to bits!

Well done everyone else on your losses this week. Maybe I can take some inspiration as ive completely lost the plot. I've gained 5.5lb in 3 weeks, weekends away with cadets where I have no control over my food, lack of cash to eat healthy and general bad habits
I only have myself to blame I guess.

Started really well today with breakfast and lunch, then got a call off mum saying she was being rushed to hospital (shes had a migrane since Sunday an doc wants her checked out) where I'm currently sat, craving everything in that vending machine!!

I'm supposed to be going dress shopping on Saturday and feel completely frumpy and don't want to go. My best friend is home from London so I cant cancel cos I don't know when she will be home next.

Sorry for the rant, but I feel a bit better now :-)

And oh dear natalie, that sounds like a really stressful time you're having :( but don't be so hard on yourself- I know from experience it's so hard when you're somewhere where you can't control your food intake yourself. It's always easiest when you can shop and cook everything by yourself! Tomorrow is a new day and I'm sure you'll do good this week!!

thanks alot srk37 i dont think you could do any damage now hun your nearly there just chill now and enjoy this last week aslong as you keep doing whats been working for you you'll be fine ; )

natalie im glad the rant made ya feel better ; ) you got to think how much you have lost so far and be proud of ya'self hun!

Sijen i know what you mean im dreading easter ; S i made some mini chocolate muffins and i had 2 ; S

Body magic is exercise!

2lb off this week-only 2lb to go now. Going to be difficult this week though as it is h2b's birthday monday and I'm meeting a friend for lunch Saturday-will need to just up my exercise and be perfect on other occasions xx

Good luck Jill it sounds like a great kick start! x
