Slimming world support thread #6 2017

[BasinHaircut]

Hello!

Morning all, after being back at work for 2 and a half weeks I've managed to catch head lice for the first time in years! So sitting here with the stinky stuff on feeling very annoyed!

Not having a great week Slimming wise, but a good week for fun! BBq Tuesday, Wed ok, Thurs ok, last night niece's bday party which I made a cake for so had a small piece plus party nibbles. Tonight me and my husband are out to celebrate our wedding anniversary! So not much hope really!!

Still, good times!

1.5 lb off this week, going to be really focussed this week and would like 2.5 lb, no going over syn 🙃🙂

Do you find that if you have followed the plan, you will lose? Or do some weeks not work even though you've had your hexes and your speed foods and have not gone over syns?

Generally for me, if I follow the plan I will lose. Gains and maintains are when I don't follow the plan. Some weeks I'll half follow it and still get a loss. There was one week when it said I had a 16lb gain and I'd followed - but that was the sw scales.

I've also found I have to track on mfp as well and try and stay below 1750 cals

Lalala can't hear you I chose Slimming World to avoid measuring things and painstakingly putting them into MFP lalala not listening

Owlina, oh no! As soon as I read your post my head felt itchy. Hope work is going well in spite of the wildlife.
Happy anniversary. 💑

Happy Anniversary Owlina and Mr Owlina.

I feel bloated. Hoping I fit into my dress tonight x

Following with interest, as I signed up on Wednesday. Last night was tricky, being Friday. I was absolutely gagging for a bottle or two glass of wine, but managed to stave it off by glugging sugar-free sparking water. I had two rum and diet Cokes though (3.5 syns each - and actually slightly under as they were 30ml measures not 35ml).

I'm hoping to continue to control the weekend booze craving tonight with Pimms and diet lemonade. We'll see

To be fair, last night wasn't actually that bad. It's just getting past the Friday routine of cracking open the wine the moment I get through the door, which I've been in since forever. My liver will thank me, I'm sure.

Welcome computer.

His everyone. Sounds like everyone is having a good time on or off plan
I've not posted for a while, after my 5 Stone loss I've come to a standstill (my target is to lose 5.5 )
There have been lots of celebration meals but also my dad is in hospital which is stressful so I've just been grabbing food when I can which isn't always on plan, actually hardly ever on plan!
I've not been to group for 2 weeks and I'm sure I've gained😞

I can't believe how quick the weeks go. My first week felt like forever. Can't believe it's weigh in again on Monday. I'm hoping for 2 lbs, but it has been 4 days off plan this week that's terrible! If I do 2, I'll be 3 away from a stone and a half 🤞🏻 not bad in 4 weeks I'm so huge though.

Swap of the day for me: a Solero is 98 calories (= 5 syns), a Magnum 244 (= 12 syns).

And I have these which are 82 calories so only 4 syns.

trills if I'm on plan I always lose and I definitely don't track calories.

I discovered asda really creamy light vanilla ice cream, it's only 3.5 syns per 100ml and I thought 50ml with strawberries was loads.

Welcome computer

lavender hope your dad is feeling better soon.

To jump in again, fair enough .I accidentally consumed cows milk which means havoc for days and have had to count this as a day off

It went weird - typical

Morning everyone.

Had a night out for MIL's birthday. Had a lovely meal. Very SW friendly. Actually didn't feel too bloated or anything. Wore a dress I bough months ago which fitted great. Compared it to my Christmas night out photo and wow!

Back on plan today and hopefully lose 1lb this week.

Wow groove you should be so proud of how far you've come you look great!

Thanks Never. It was a dress with no stretch last night. Big thing for me lol x

A dress with no stretch? Eek!

You look fab groovee

Hi all, I'm not having a very successful weekend. Not completely terrible in terms of the amount I've been eating, but certainly not on plan. Went to a BBQ yesterday and there was very little choice of food. Burgers, sausages, chicken drumsticks (I never eat chicken cooked on a BBQ) and crisps. Seriously, that was it. I made a cake and took that and that was served as the only dessert (and was delicious, even if I say so myself). So I had a burger, in bun with ketchup, a sausage and a bag of crisps, plus a slice of cake. I'd had weetabix and a banana for breakfast, and I had a slice of toast when I got home because I was starving.

I didn't bother counting syns or anything because it would have been lots.

Today we are at the mother in laws for dinner. I've been asked to take a pasta dish so I've made a SW friendly pasta bake. I have no idea what else they will have on offer but at least I know the pasta is safe!

Yep, always had some stretch in my dresses. Apart from my wedding dress. So it felt great to be in a dress that didn't have that x

Good luck at MIL's Basin

groovee what a difference! You look great

boatsnack thank you

Had a bad day yesterday food wise and stress wise. Ended the day with a curry and trifle
