Slimming World support thread #5 2017

[ALemonyPea]

A thread for asking questions and general SW support. Welcome oldies and newbies.

Cheers lemony. Hope you get your target tomorrow.

It's so frustrating being 'in target range' but not having got there yet isn't it!

I'm doing a great job of maintaining without quite reaching target yet .

I've just agreed to join a 6 week semi-PT programme when I'm back from hols. Hoping that helps get this last bit off and kickstarts 'phase 2' which is to get fit.

Lemony, lock the scales away.

Nacho be careful with Pepsi and your iron tablets. The caffeine can prevent you absorbing the iron. Been on the tablets since January 2016.

I know, I'm my own worse enemy. Hoping it's just fluid retention as have had loads to drink over the weekend in the heat. Non alcohol I add.

Groove I am sat here face palming. I stopped drinking tea and coffee because of the tablets and just didn't even think about the caffeine in pop. Feel stupid now

Step away from the scales people!

Even if they were calibrated exactly like the ones at group there'd still be a difference from time of day (i can appear to gain/lose half a stone over th course of a day) and clothing, and flooring etc etc.

If you cannot trust yourself to not use them, bin them, seriously.

Foof you are so right, I need to stop letting temptation get the better of me. I actually took mine to work as I was weighing morning noon and night at one point (last time round).

Mine are usually a lb higher than class ones, they're pretty reliable. We will see tomorrow.

Don't feel stupid. Rubicon spring has some nice flavours and is free.

I just didn't make the glaringly obvious connection. I do like Rubicon Spring so O think I will stick up on that. Thanks Groove

Thanks, Nacho. Thinking back over the last few days, my meals have basically been ok but I've not had as much speed fruit & veg as in previous weeks. That combined with extras such as elderflower presse instead of water with Saturday's tea have probably caused the STS.
We go on holiday 4 weeks today so I've given myself a talking to today. No more sneaky Choco Leibnitz biscuits!
Hope your WI goes well tomorrow, Lemony.

Just a couple of little slips. Well 4 weeks you can do great things. Back on plan with you

Dreading WI tonight. I always weigh first thing in the morning on weigh day, then do my official WI at group this evening. I am normally at least 2lb more at WI than I am on mine in the morning - this morning I am already up a lb on my WI weight last week, so I could be looking at a 3lb gain tonight. I don't deserve that!!! Oh well, take it on the chin and move on. I am hoping for a massive poo during the day - not likely as I am a first thing in the morning girl, plus already done one today!

Yes, I know I should also step away from the scales, but I know I would get very anxious if I was going to be faced with this sort of situation in front of other people. This way I can process it and get used to the idea so that I can cope this evening.

Oh PA don't beat yourself up, you might be pleasantly surprised!
I too am dreading weigh in tomorrow after 3 days of birthday celebrations. Think I averaged 30 syns a day! Have cut back for 2 days but don't think it will be enough.
I put 1lb on at last weigh in too🙈

Good luck everyone wi today. Maybe this intense heat will help us sweat some fat off

Good morning! Measurements day at week 24!
Since January
Over boobs have lost 3 inches.
Under boobs have lost 5 inches.
Waist have lost 9 inches.
Hips have lost 7 inches.

I have lost 24 inches over all!

Good luck to everyone weighing on x

Well done groovee! Wish I'd measured at the start now. I'm down from size 16 to mainly size 10, so I'm happy with that!

WI tonight for me. After loads of booze Saturday, then hardly eating Sunday I can't really call it! Guess I'll be happy with a sts, but would love the last 1lb off to get my 3 stone award! I've tried to keep my syns low for the rest of the week to make up for the weekend, but who knows.

Didn't manage 10,000 steps yesterday, just too hot to go out for a walk! Out and about today though, so hopefully I'll manage it.

Good luck all who are weighing in tonight!

Could anyone reccomend any low syn veggie burgers please?going to a BBQ on friday and will be taking my own stuff.
Going food shopping later.

I really like the Linda mc cartney quarter pounders with cheese, but I'm ruling them out, as I imagne they will be very high in syns.

Have heard that the lmc pulled Pork burgers are very low, but not sure.
Also, happily have any kind of quorn burger.
Any suggestions?

Wow groovee 24 inches. That''s amazing. Well done

Fingers crossed for you Owlina. I need 1.5lbs to my 3 st.

No idea about veggie burgers but noticed SW are bringing one out soon.

Hope this helps Art

Linda McCartney's frozen veggie burgers are 1/2 a syn.

Mushroom and spinach are 2 syns.
Quarter pounders are 4.5 syns.
The cheese ones are 5.5 syns.

Pulled pork are 1 syn.

Thanks groovee.

Lmc pulled pork are 1 syn according to the app .

Groove that is a brilliant inch loss. I am inspired to measure myself now. I carry all of my weight on my front so currently looking about 5 months pregnant. Would really help to see those inches go down.

Owlina drink lots of water all day and it might help, obviously do a big wee before you weigh.

I hate weighing in the evening. I used to weigh first thing Saturday but that group is just not practical to get to now. will be starving by the end of class when I can go and have dinner!

Haven't been on for ages, weighed last Thursday and lost 2lb

We're having building work done at the moment, so struggling a little bit with meals, trying not to grab something quick for ease. Also went to a concert at the weekend and all the food vans were so appealing, Didn't have anything so I'm hoping to have a good lose this week so it was worth resisting.

Well done Minnie x

I got target this morning!!!!! So surprised as I put a pound on last week so was back to 3 pounds away but somehow this week I managed to lose 3

Whooo hooo Dave 🎉🎉🎉
