Slimming World Support #3 2017

[ALemonyPea]

Rolling into March, welcome oldies and newbies.

sham thinking of you.

em take care of yourself. Try your best because you'll be annoyed with yourself if you regain loads, but really don't beat yourself up over what you are eating at the moment. One day at a time.

Sham My sister had a couple of dodgy moles and she's fine now. Good that they caught it early.

em I agree with the others, be kind to yourself. If you maintain for a few weeks, that's fine. You've had such a rough few weeks.

I've done my bronze and silver body magic, tracked it all online. They were okay but I've been struggling with chronic abdo pain so I don't feel I can push myself to achieve what's required for the gold at the moment.

WI for me shortly. Not hugely optimistic!!

Thank you, trying to see the positives. It's been caught early so hopefully all should be ok. Waiting for an appointment to have a larger area removed and to see if it's spread.
He had the mole removed 4 weeks ago so because we hadn't heard we presumed it was ok. He went to the follow up appointment today expecting to be told all was ok but obviously it wasn't.

Anyway sorry back to food, I've not really ate that much today we are going out for steak so shouldn't be too bad. It's impossible to discuss anything with all the kids about so can talk everything through.
I was gutted as I missed my half a stone by half a pound. Grrrrr!!!

Delurking to ask a question, these threads are so motivating.

How does Body Magic work? As in how do you 'prove' it? Couldn't Sandra and Janice** just say they've been gymming it 7 times a week, while all the time they're on their sofas eating free foods. 😉

**names may have been changed to protect privacy. 😂

Metallic it works on trust so if they really want a 'Body Magic' award that much that they lie, they can have it; it doesn't really mean anything.

sham and em I admire you both hugely for even being able to make a nod at being on plan.

Yeah all you get is a bloody certificate and sticker.

I do think the exercise side of things is largely ignored, or at least it is in my group. Althou to be fair I can see why they wouldn't want to be telling people to do exercise when they don't know about their health conditions (and if my consultant is as lacking in knowledge about exercise as she is about nutrition, she would be a danger indeed!)

I was quite chuffed to get my bronze and silver awards. There's really no point in lying about it. Pretty hollow reward! It definitely boosted my weight loss too.

I've gained 1/2lb this week. Annoying but I have pushed the limits too much, especially because we have a house guest. Add in an AM weigh in last week and it's not surprising!

I never got a sticker with my body magic!! Only a certificate which I had to fill the name in myself sob

I post body magic stuff on our groups page

Like I said, some people had never heard of it!

Oh Sham, what a shock 💐Steak and wine are syn free in these cases.

I've never recorded my body magic, I can't be bothered to fill out the forms.

I think I do need to move more, I'm eating right. Another 4 weeks and I should be able to go back to the gym.

sham shit news but hopefully it's caught early and sorted quickly.

Someone left at work today so of course there was food involved! I resisted at lunch time but went for an afternoon cuppa and the cakes called me I had a slice of lemon drizzle and some cheese straws!
Good job I'm not weighing in this week! Need to give myself a talking to!

Thank you so much it means a lot. Dp has decided to tell no one which I totally respect but it's nice to be able to witter on somewhere!
Steak, wine and a chocolate fondue have been consumed and a good chat has been had. I'm drawing a line under it now and I'm having an extra good day tomorrow.

Sham and Em.

I'm feeling the same Frouby, weight loss super slow and goes back on super easy. Gained this week and not feeling motivated now.
I haven't done the body magic forms as I was already exercising nearly everyday when I started. Its just too much food that's my problem. I'm fit but don't really look it lol!

to Sham
I walked 9.2 miles today and im exhausted, also only had 1 syn. Its been a rubbish day today so I may have a creme egg as a treat!

sham fingers crossed for your DH.

Bad SW news here, I'm a bit pissed and I had a 3 course Thai meal. Had a lovely day though so I'm callin 'worth it' and cracking back on in he morning.

*calling! I'm not bloody RKelly!

Ha ha Basin that made me laugh!

Sham

I am trying to be kind to myself but it is just as Ali said...I eat because I'm unhappy and angry and then get angry and unhappy because I've eaten. Lemony those party poppers made me laugh. 90% of the time when I type "flowers" it comes out as "glowers" which would be a completely different emoticon

But it's weigh in time in 10.5 hours and I will take whatever it says and attempt to move forward.

Oooh creme eggs, how many syns in a creme egg?

9 for a "normal" one
2.5 for each "mini" one in the little bag
4 for the biscuits.

Frouby can I ask you a question? I have not been riding since I was a teenager - many moons ago and I had thought of treating myself when I get to be within a "Normal" weight range. At what weight is it ok to go riding? I have been so huge for so long that I have not been able to do it. I don't want to break the poor animal's back!

Em & Sham be kind to yourselves.

I have been absolutely terrible this week so far. AF has visited which coincided with half a chocolate cake made by DS being sat in the kitchen which just happened to fall in my mouth. Then last night I was making a Quark chocolate pot mousse when the highlights pot dumped so much in that I had to double the rest of the ingredients, thinking I would keep half for today - only I didn't stop eating and polished off the whole lot. Today I need to knuckle down and get back on it 100%.

So plan for today:
B - fruit and Yougurt
L - crustless quiche and salad
D - Sausage casserole

HE A - Cheese
HE B - Wheatbran cake
Syns - not sure, maybe some rice sticks or popchips this evening. Snacks will be fruit.

Have a good day everyone.

Had a very stressful night at bowling! Came home, had my healthy extras and a large glass of water when I wanted cake!

Sham (hugs).

Hope the scales go ok Em

I feel like crap and typically I have bloods today and I am on holiday.

Good luck this morning em

So, today is a new day. I don't feel at all bad about not being on plan yesterday, I've still got 4.5 days until weigh in and I had such a lovely time.

I'm taking a days holiday today and am currently sitting in the garden having a peaceful coffee. It's going to be a lovely day by the looks of it and I've got grand designs on the shed which is so full of crap that you can hardly get in there without completing some kind of assault course and risking injury.

My magnolia is also starting to flower which is nice.

But anyway food!
B - weetabix and milk (HEA&B)
L - pasta bolognese and veg
D - SW chicken madras with PON bhajis, veg and rice

Syns will be 3 on cheese for my pasta, and probably some kind of treat, seeing as I am a teeny but hungover I'll probably need something.

Have a lovely day all.

Morning, I was on the previous threads for a few months but have stalled in my progress and not posted on this one. I have just read through to catch up, sorry to hear your news Em. I have had 3 early mcs, the first was after 18 months ttc and I was devastated. However it did seem to kickstart my fertility, I was pg again within 2 months (sadly another loss), then again with DS two months after that, when we tried for a second DC it happened again but once again I was pg again with DD two months later. It's a rollercoaster, but there can be happy endings.

Sham - sorry about your DH's bad news, I have no personal experience but at least they've caught it.

As for me, emotional eating has taken over again. I have suffered with anxiety on and off for years (mostly off, it would be a few days every couple of months), this year it has been more on than off for some reason and I have lost all willpower as a result. I started this at 14st 13.4 in September. Lost a stone by early December (I was taking it slowly deliberately). Hovered around 14 stone over Christmas / NY / Jan. Was 13 stone, 11.6lb in mid Feb. Crept back up to 14stone 2lb by last week . However I weighed in this morning (I'm online, no meetings) and was back down to 13st 13.2lb, which is amazing considering that in the last week I've had 3 meals out including starters, puddings, whatever. So it has motivated me to get going again, I have missed the thread and I need to lose more by summer as I have foolishly committed myself to performing on stage in a real theatre for the first time in my entire 50 years.
