Slimming world support #1 2017

[ALemonyPea]

Welcome old and new

Good luck!

Good luck for today Groovee. 💐

Good luck for everyone getting weighed today, especially the half pounders.

Good luck Groovee and well done Losers!

Am babysitting for DN tonight, having spag bol cooked for me before they go out (and it'll be an on-plan-or-thereabouts one too, so that's good). Just need to not dive into the biccie barrel when I'm there. I can't just have one or two.

We did the first night of our sausage comparison last night. Had M&S skinny sausages (1/2 syn each) with mash, onion gravy and veg. I thought they were lovely, but DH thought they were a bit smooth (he likes a really course ground chunky sausage). We're having the M&S Reduced Fat ones on Wednesday, then it's on to Porky Lights (if we can get any!) and Waitrose reduced fat ones. We've tried (and discarded) all Heck Chicken (he doesn't like the taste or texture and I don't like what comes out of his bottom after he's eaten them), the Slimming World ones (too much like a cheap school sausage) and the Asda Frozen ones ("Dear God Woman, these are the Worst Sausages I've Ever Eaten". I agreed )

I had a packet of proper crisps (McCoys Salt & Vinegar) last night and took a giant chunk out of my lip. That'll teach me for trying to sneak a packet of DH's crisps rather than sticking to my own Pufts!

luloo yes well done us!

Come on summer you can do this.

em I'm planning an assault on M&S this week to try all of the skinny products. Will keep my eye out for porky lights but we don't eat that many sausages so I can go without if I need to.

Going back to the gym today after a month off of exercise due to injury. Only a 30min lunchtime circuit training class but I'm looking forward to it.

Morning all

Good Luck Grove, hope all goes well.

Burgers were absolutely lovely last night. Really enjoyed them and dd had seconds.

My soup however was vile. Tried to use up half a bag of spinich and it gave it all a really weird taste plus I put too much water in. So it was like green pondwater with an odd overcooked carrot floating around in it. Had a bowl yesterday and binned the rest.

Todays lunch will be sw quiche when I get in from softplay and make it. And then tea is Shepherds pie with broccoli and cauliflower on the side.

Syns will be decided later on. Am allowing 5 for the pie gravy and butter in the mash. So might treat myself to bit of dark chocolate later. Wi tomorrow and after 2 weeks of being disappointed am hoping for a decent loss. Fx.

Thanks everyone. Home now with a sore nose. As they used my nose. No reasons for reflux but they said it looks very healthy.

Off today and tomorrow. Will have soup later.

Dh was off yesterday and sorted his own lunch today as I was fasting.

In bed as my nose is so sore x

Thanks girl I thought they would be more than that.
Some good losses this week. My Wi tomorrow. Didn't go last week cos of work. Hope to start eating away at the 4 stone target.
lots of people at work are noticing now. I need to buy new work trousers as they are very loose
come on summer you can do it. Don't let all the good work you've done go to waste!

Just back from weigh in and lost 2.5lbs this week really really pleased with that as when I checked at home on Sunday I hadn't lost anything! I really need to stop weighing at home as I don't think my scales are very accurate

Well done Your. But get rid of the scales x

Half a stinking lb off. Absolutely frustrated to the point of giving up. The only good thing is that I got my 6 stone award. Just wish all my effort would show on the scales.

Well done to everyone else who lost.

Well done on your 6 stone award!! @ALemonyPea you're an inspiration!

I got my 1 stone award today, having lost an entire sodding pound this week. But it's a loss, a tiny step forward to my slender summer self. 14.5lb lost since 3rd January.

Now for the next stone. More speed foods, less carbs, more body magic.

I'm not buying Hifi bars anymore, too expensive and I'd rather have a 'healthy' HEX B rather than what is essentially a bit of cake.

Well done everyone on their losses today. We can do this!

Don't give up lemony, 6 stone! That's amazing. How much more are you looking to lose?

Well done Lemony. That is absolutely bloody amazing. When I think about giving up or stuffing my face I think of you and Em and how well you have both done and grit my teeth and have an apple.

Without noticing the losses on the long term members of this group I wouldn't still be in it. I usually give up when I don't get losses every week but the fact that you have lost 6st in such a short space of time and that Em had the same as me to lose and is now a target member keeps me going.

I know it sounds a bit daft but it really does inspire me to keep plodding on.

Well done emma, Lemony and Daveand any other losers. 6 stone lemony, wow!

Glad it went OK groovee.

Just feeding the baby than legging it over to weigh in. Don't think I'll stay as it's food tasting and I havn't made anything. Can't tell if I've lost or not this week. I hope so because it was a ss last week. I've been much more on plan so Fx!

lemony you've done so well. Half a pound loss must be frustrating. Does your consultant have any suggestions.

Well done all losers!

Feeling a bit rubbish today. Total huge off plan on Friday and Sunday. Saturday was ok, Monday I was under Syns but not by much, and today hasn't been too bad, but I'm so bloody constipated, time of the month and just feel so bloated and like I've put everything back on. Tempted to make a huge plate of brocolli to see if that gets things moving.

Today so far:
L - Apple, grapes, chicken, muller light (on the move!)
T - brocolli. Lots of brocolli. With some fish and curly kale.
syns - bag of malted sees for 9.5 Syns but won't be having any more Syns so under allowance. Shouldn't have had them really.

Glad it went ok groovee

Lost 1lb. Happy with that as I struggled to eat with no reflux meds. Have kept water down all day yay!

Taster was enjoyable. Some lovely dishes.

Made Cajun chicken pasta for tea x

Well done on he losses today. Remember any loss is a loss!

Today I've felt like I'm getting a migraine all day, had to leave work and everything, but so far it's not developed into anything more.

Felt a bit rubbish and fancied something when I got home this afternoon but had a banana and a dollop of full fat Greek yoghurt with honey for 4 syns rather than fall off plan.

Dinner was macaroni cheese with sauce ala calzone (a blitzed cauli and stock) so only syns for the cheese. Served with broccoli so it might be windy in chez Basin tomorrow

That looks fab Basin x

Lost 1/2lb. Bit disheartened tbh. I've really stuck to it this week and feel very bah. When I think of all my family eating cake, biscuits etc and I say no thanks every time. Sodding fruit and yoghurt for pudding every night, odd freddo. All that effort for 1/2lb!!??

Thanks everyone. I'm just so bloody frustrated that me sticking to the plan 100% isn't producing the weight loss. Nothing I do seems to help, and I'm certainly not doing SP days until I get to goal as I don't want to give up carbs forever, it's not sustainable long term.

My consultant just says stick to plan. Not helpful. I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm measuring my A and B choice, having almost 50% speed, reduced portion sizes, only having a max of 10 syns a day, snacking on speed rather than free foods, doing body magic every day, even if it's just walking the dogs or the 2 miles home from school.

I have 14lb to target. If I could lose even 1 lb a week, that would be fine, but I can't keep up the pretence that losing half a pound a week or saying the same is making me happy. It's not better than a gain, as people keep saying, as I've not cheated, if stuck to it. It makes me want to weep when people have lost three and a half lbs even bough they've been out at the weekend and filled their face with a pizza and cake.

I hate my body, hate the way my hormones play tricks on me. Haha, we will allow you lose weight steadily. And just when you're within your goal, we will fuck with your mind and screw you, we are sticking to every ounce we can. I'm just praying that after my op next week, it sorts some of this shit out.

One of our members look 9lb tonight. She insisted on being re weighed 3 times.

She said she pretended to be a first timer in that first week, writing everything down, changing her HE's daily. Seems to have worked and she got her 3st award x

Thanks Basin....I am finding week 7/8 a struggle for some reason.

alemony I know this won't make you feel massively better, but honestly 6 stone is bloody amazing! When I think of your determination, it's inspirational. Without meaning to sound all blah.

Managed to stay on plan so far today, resisted the box of chocolates in the office.

B - 2 x poached eggs, 1 x 400g wholemeal. 1 syn for marg and 1 syn for sugar in two brews.

S - 2 satsumas, 1 muller light yogurt.

L - rocket, ham, tomatoes, avocado 5 syns, salad cream 1syn.

1 m&m and 2 squares of kinder 3 syns, sugar in brew. 0.5 syns.

11 1/2 syns

Lemony have you been keeping a track of inches lost? Am just wondering if you are losing fat but toning up. I have certainly noticed I can walk a lot quicker 2st lighter so 6st lost I bet you are powering along.

Just wondering if you are building muscle now with the body magic you are doing.

Also don't underestimate the power of hormones. I bf for 18 months and really really struggled to lose any weight. Lost 12lbs at sw over 4 months sticking to it religiously. Stopped bfing and dropped 8lbs in 2 weeks without doing anything at all.

Don't give up. See what happens when you have had your operation. Maybe give yourself a week off pre and post op and then start afresh.

Hello :)

I started slimming world last week and first weigh in tomorrow. I've never weighed myself in the past so no idea what to expect. I have enjoyed experimenting with different recipes so far!

I'm doing slightly better with regard to binging but still eating far more syns than I should. However I am terrible for weighing myself every time I set foot in the bathroom in between WI, and I'm expecting/hoping tomorrow will show about 1.5lbs off.

I know I have a long way to go both weight to lose and attitude to change. But I feel the attitude needs to come first and if it takes 30syns spread out throughout the day to avoid binging on 60syns in the evening then I know which is the better option.

Not caught up too much as there is masses to catch up on here!!! I've only been away for a few days and you lot have been chatting for pages!!

Ok, so a wonderful weekend away. I did the best I could, but had more alcohol than I have had since I started SW. Mostly I ate SW friendly stuff, but the quantities were off the scale!!
Just come back from WI and I have managed to lose that pesky 0.5lb and I got my 4 stone award! Pleased with that!!
