Slimming World support thread #5 2017

[ALemonyPea]

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

Love the hair groovee

Looking good groovee!

Welcome Back Basin, hope you had a good time x

Thanks Groovester and Owlina x

Thanks groovee yes it was lovely in the end. Bad start but once we all relaxed and got into the swing of it it was fine. Except the tantrums, but I think that tiredness had taken over by that point.

Anyway, ive just weighed myself and I reckon by my scales I've put on 4lbs. I'm happy with that but it does put me half a stone away from target again

But oh well, I ran the food down to almost nothing before we went away so it's a clean start as of today, going to do a meal plan and big SW friendly shop. I'm also going to check out a local gym that do a 6 week PT kick start fitness thingy as I want to get fit again now.

Hi 👋🏻 Frouby.

4lb isn't bad. You can have that off next week x

Loving the new hair Groovee!

Basin sounds like you're in the zone now, I'm sure the 4lbs will be off in no time!

I'm getting nervous about my first WI later today

Sts can't complain really but I haven't actually gone over my allowed daily syns, just used more than i usually would.

Hi Frouby, are you ok?

Ah too bad Minnie - hopefully a loss next week then!

Sooo I went to my first WI

Line drawn
------
And from now on

Ooh I'm miles behind but what a lovely lot of news to come back to. Congratulations Lemony on hitting target, amazing!

And well done everyone else with your losses, what a great week!

I think I've probably buggered up this week - we've had redundancies at work AND I've got a horrible cold so it's been a mix of being off plan or not eating and just picking at bits, but nothing healthy. Argh. Never mind, onwards and upwards (or downwards).

I am fine owl. Hows your baby?

Am on holiday in 5 weeks with skinny mcskinny pants. Weigh about the same as I did when I dropped out of this thread and out of sw which I am pleased about as I am happy enough at this weight.

But would be happier going away half a stone lighter to allow for the AI piggery that will take place.

So mini target. Weigh 11st 11lbs. Want to be 11st 4lbs by 06th august.

Am on it!

You can do it Frouby.

I'm losing the will to live. DH has tidied up my things from our last holiday and we cannot find it now 😩

Dd is grumpy and DH isn't helping matters.

You can do half a stone Frouby head in the game

That means you get yo buy new clothes surely Groovee but seriously have you checked inside the suitcase, I store any holiday only clothes inside the case in the loft.

I have a whole suitcase of new stuff. It's my little bag and rucksack. Last seen after our blackpool holiday.

😳 found them... on the ironing board!

A whole suitcase of new clothes, how exciting! I love going clothes shopping!

groovee!

Baby is fine thanks frouby, sleeping much better. She's pretty much crawling, if dressing yourself around commando style counts as crawling!

Wedding last night, was a nice evening. Had 4 glasses of wine, and the food was a BBq so I had a burger. Oh and a piece of cake. So pretty much blown it this week already, and tonight I'm out for a curry with mates and then Saturday I'm out too. Happy days!

Weird place with clothes at the mo. My pre second baby clothes are too big, my pre any baby clothes fit me fine except on my tummy. I've always been apple shaped but my tummy really is much bigger than the rest of me now. I probably need to exercise a bit to find up but can't fit it in at the mo.

Still, I managed to wear one of my former favourite dresses (size 10!) to the wedding, so I'm very happy about that!

Dragging not dressing

Tone not find

Sorry

Hello everyone, I hope I can join in with you all. I'm 14st and have 4 to lose ideally. I've been doing well since I started on Monday and just need to be sensible this week re drinks. We are eating out Sat and Sunday. I can plan my Sunday meal without issue but Sat may be tricky. Weigh in day for me Monday. Am annoyed at myself for not starting earlier in the year but hey ho, here I go .... 👍

Welcome Mini! My advice with drinks is go with spirits and diet mixers. You started when you were ready to start. Just think how far you'll have got by Christmas!

Owlina I'd be a clothes size smaller if it wasn't for my saggy tum! I've been planning daily, building up how long I can do it for. Started at 45s, can do 2m 45s now! Doesn't take too long but definitely makes a difference.

So tired. Kids break up today and Dd is being her usual PITA. I need to buy a bottle of prosecco for her dance teacher. So my lazy morning is no more 😩

Sounds like a good wedding Owlina.

Welcome Mini x

Glad you found your stuff Groovee. Sounds a lovely wedding Owlina, hope you enjoyed it!

Hi Mini - great determination. You will do this! x

Any ideas for Wetherspoon breakfast please? I'm thinking there's only the fruit salad

Do Wetherspoon do the normal menu foods in the morning? We went the other night and I had a bagel with avocado and salad, the bagel was pretty small and I ignore the SW rule about avocado and syns from time to time I'm afraid. It was delicious.
