Glad to hear that Young Xmas Grin.

Well done Steffanoid, that is some serious weightloss in 8 weeks. Congrats.

Dark, that is good news. People loss in different ways and there are many who plateau regularly. The key is, I feel, to keep positive (hard, I know) and keep going. You are doing brilliantly.

I am weighing in this morning so will report back later today. I hate eating much on Tuesdays because of this so am seriously hungry for weigh-in on Wednesday morning - so silly but I can't help it.

Jusgt back from holiday and I've put 5lb back on in a fortnight - not good before Christmas but on the brighter side of things I've still lost 2 1/2 stone since I started and I fit in all my clothes, just need to apply myself in the new yer to get down to my 8st 12 target (I'm only 5'3") which is now just 1 stone 13lb away.

rogue no responsibility needed, it was 2lbs down!!

However I did only have a bowl of cereal due to time all day....me cheat?? NEVER!



Also I wanted 1lb to take me to my personal target...:( and with my starvation day it will go up next week.
Does PAT make slimming world free or only when you reach their target?

I think it is your PAT, holiday.

It is my weigh in today but I don't know if I am going to be able to get there - I am on a late shift and won't finish work until pretty much the same time as the meeting is due to finish. Will just have to be super speedy and hope they are running late as usual and are still there so I can weigh in quickly after they finish.

Afternoon all, (how I love that phrase...takes me back).

I lost 5lbs this week!! To say I was shocked was an understatement and actually felt quite weird when she said my loss. I got my 1 stone award too so that made it extra good. I will have to make sure I get out around the park and into the pool a few times next week.

Hi all, well done on all the amazing weight losses today Smile

I've lost another 3.5lb this week which has earned me my stone award and slimmer of the week Grin To say I'm chuffed is an understatement! I mustn't let it go to my head, I'm aiming for another 4lb at least before Christmas to give me a bit of a cushion to enjoy Christmas day Smile

Darkest, glad you fit a good loss, especially as you've been feeling rubbish.

Rogue, we're almost weight loss twins this week, as I've also lost 5lbs (which is a miracle tbh!) and also got my stone award. Plus slimmer of the week.

That's 16 1/2lb off in 5 weeks for me now. Pleased in Sn understatement.

Does anybody know if there's such a thing as a SW gift voucher? As in, my mum wants to know what to get me for Christmas, could she get me a 12 week countdown or something if she doesn't come to my group but does attend a different group? I really don't want or need anything but that would at least be a committment to continuing with SW for a while longer.

roguepixie · 12/12/2013 08:32

Well done midori, it sounds like we are, indeed, SW twins. Long may it continue.

Anti, I think your Mum can buy you a 12 week countdown. Either ask your consultant (thereby ensuring she gets the commission) or you could phone head office?

Thanks everyone Wow congrats on all yr losses.
Ive had my gall bladder out back in 2003.
I got gallstones the first time i was at SW Back then i lost a stone a month for seven months and then it took me a year to lose the final three stone. My surgeon told me id gotten ill through losing weight too quickly.

Hi everyone

Just did my first weigh in - 8lb loss!!!!! Grin

I'm really shocked, but happy obviously Smile I did go over 15 syns on a couple of days, but that was on things like EVOO and avocado. This goes to show how much sugary crap I was eating before.

Congratulations on all your losses too Smile

Congratulations to all the losers this week.

-2.5lbs last night, although I had been ill with a horrible sickness bug. Only one more wi before Christmas, and I'm 6 lbs off what I wanted to be!!!

The plan is to be good right up until Christmas Day, and then have it and Boxing day off. Our wi has been changed to the day after boxing day, but I'm not sure if my indulgences will show on the scales that quickly!! No doubt I'll have a huge gain, of Xmas and new year together,the following week!

ah dear can't seem to stop binging on crap from wed to sunday in the evenings only. this week i had a 1/2lb gain. so not too bad but i do cycle 80 miles a week so it takes a fair bit of the calories that i've over done it on down but still feel shit that i'm putting all that effort in for nothing been not bad tonight had one slice of pizza that i need to check the syns for and thats it in the way of bad stuff my meals are always good its just at night when i feel the need to eat the crap.

Hello all :)

I'm 4lb off my 2st award - it's my SW Christmas Wish so hopefully if I'm REALLY good it'll come off on Monday :) WI was yesterday, but with Wednesday being Christmas we're weighing in early... eek!

Can i join? Been at sw for nearly 3 months and have lost 2st 3.5lbs. Really pleased with how it's going even though it still makes no sense to lose weight while eating this much. Was expecting a gain yesterday but lost 0.5lbs, will probably gain loads next wi!

Steffanoid · 24/12/2013 17:05

well done bump, my mince pies did not betray me and I still lost 1lb, now to hope that the next few days don't destroy all progress

Checking in - have been pretty good. Quantities of food not good, but nothing truly shocking as of yet.

Here's hoping for my 2 stone award on Monday
