Well done Boat

FoofFighter · 08/08/2017 06:58

really pleased all is well Basin Flowers

Wow Boat, that is a great loss!

Em :( be gentle with yourself xxx

Groovee · 08/08/2017 07:06

Exam results day here. We'll know in about 54 minutes. I feel so sick.

OwlinaTree · 08/08/2017 07:50

Are they your results groovee or a family member's? Good luck either way.

Weigh in for me tonight. Can't call it this week. Also it's bloody taster night again! I've got a load of strawberry meringues, I might buy some Strawberries and yoghurt and do individual Eton messes for a syn and a halfish.

I think we are voting for woman of the year, should be interesting. I'm interested to know who's been nominated. We had man of the year but there were only two men nominated, there's a lot more women to choose from!

ALemonyPea · 08/08/2017 08:13

Boat, it'll be a proper loss, don't play it down, well done.

Good luck on the results Groovee.

BasinHaircut · 08/08/2017 08:49

Morning all, thanks for the well wishes. I am so relieved yes it has been a long week!

Well done boat!

Missed weigh in last night as if booked holiday in case my appointment was longer. Would have been a gain but I've a very expected one. Back on it today. Got DS's birthday this week so there will be cake and party food but will do what I ca in between.

I'm still undecided on what to do about my target. I want to call it but not while I'm in the middle of 'bad' weeks. I've got 2 more busy weekends and then I should have a fairly clear run with nothing stopping me so I might give it until mid-sept at least and then see where I am.

Good luck with weigh ins and exam results today!

Dd got 2 A's, 2 B's and an unexpected D. But she never had to sit Maths again. She's got a day release place in college too for psychology as she got an A in English not the B she needed.

I want to buy cake to celebrate.

Hello! I started slimming world two days ago, I thought I was doing well but I've put on 2lb in two days 🙄 I don't know what I've done wrong so looking for advice if poss. The first day I had fat free Greek yoghurt and fruit for breakfast, a slimming world chicken tikka ready meal with one small nest of dried egg noodles. Then I had lean steak and salad for dinner, I also burnt approx 300 calories in the gym. Yesterday I had fruit and fibre with semi skimmed milk, a muller light yoghurt, chicken stir fry (spray oil, soy sauce, five spice, garlic, veg) with one half nest of dried egg noodles. Dinner was three slimming world syn free sausages, a small portion of slimming world chips, onion tomatoes and sweet corn. Syns were 10 in total from sugar in two coffees, and two mini Ben and jerry's Son of a Wich (supposed to be 4 syns each). I weighed 11st before I started now I'm 11 st 2lb, what have I done wrong? Thanks x

OwlinaTree · 08/08/2017 09:38

It's only been 2 days, give it a chance! Make sure you drink lots of water.

FoofFighter · 08/08/2017 11:54

Jane - nothing is wrong, we all fluctuate daily, hourly even. Don't weigh in between weekly weigh in.

Are you doing it at group/online/at home alone?

Make sure your healthy extras are "official", and weigh them accurately.

Make sure one third of each meal is speedy veg/fruit. Not as an addition to what you've served up already.

emwithme · 08/08/2017 13:03

Basin that is excellent news

Boat WELL DONE. Do Not downplay losses. That is excellent.

Also well done to your DD Grovee .

Jane are you doing it at home or going to group? You really should only weigh yourself once a week, at the same time of day preferably, on the same scales (so if you're going to group, those scales only; if you're at home, then do it at home but once a week). Your weight will fluctuate from day to day, from hour to hour (I can gain 5 lbs in a day, and it's all gone the next morning). Not that I'm one to talk, I weigh myself daily (it was part of my TTC "routine" to see how my cycle affected my weight - and now I know I gain a lb the day before I ovulate, and it goes the day after, and I gain up to 2.5 lbs in the run up to AF which drops off on day three if I don't dive into a vat of chocolate). Just make sure you're weighing and measuring your HEs, that you're having your 1/3 speed food - and most of all, don't eat for the sake of it. Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full (Again, much easier said than done)

We have taster for Woman of the Year this week too - and I've been nominated. I won last year Grin but don't think I will this year, we've got a member who has lost 7 stone since joining in January and I think she'll get it. Not sure what I'm going to do, it will depend on how I feel whether I cook something or just grab an "accompaniment" like cherry tomatoes or similar.

Today's food:

B: Eggy muffins (they had been prepared for work but I'm now off again for a couple of weeks so I'll eat it anyway because it means I don't have to think about breakfast)
L: Leek & potato soup (see above)
D: Chili con carne with squoodles. It's not strictly speaking an SP day as the soup is leek & potato but we had rice yesterday and I don't fancy it two days running.

HEA: Milk
HEB: Hifi bars or apricots, depending on mood later.

ALemonyPea · 08/08/2017 13:09

Congratulations to your daughter Groovee. Buy the cake.

I've just had a smallish piece of chocolate cake for my sons birthday, was delicious.

Jane, home scales can, and usually are, be different to class scales. Don't give up just yet, your food looks fine.

Groovee · 08/08/2017 13:55

I got the kids domino's. Have had none but god! The child who got an A in English managed to order a cheese stuffed crust cheese pizza with no cheese 😂😂

Weigh in tonight but still no mention of Woman of the year!

Groovee · 08/08/2017 13:56

Jane don't weigh between weigh ins! It messes with your head!

Your food looks fine. Make sure you drink water.

TurquoiseOwl · 08/08/2017 14:51

@Groovee - that's reminded me, my results day is in a week Sad I'm resitting my AS Maths... I'm guessing it's another fail -sigh- well done to your DD!

Thank you for the well dones x

latedecember1963 · 08/08/2017 17:29

Congratulations to your daughter, Groovee 🎓 and happy birthday to Lemony's son 🎂.

OwlinaTree · 08/08/2017 19:34

Big gain for meEnvyAngryGrin. Last couple of weeks have caught up with me I think! Hoping most of it will come off next week but it's my daughter's birthday this week so we are out quite a bit!

Heigh ho, I knew it would be difficult over the summer and tbh I feel in a pretty good place with it so see what happens.

emwithme · 08/08/2017 19:36

A cheese stuffed crust pizza with no cheese made me think of this

I have an unexpected job interview tomorrow, so this afternoon I dragged my "interview smart" clothes out of the wardrobe (where they've been languishing for a couple of years since I last interview)...and then once I'd picked myself off the floor laughing I went shopping. Everything LITERALLY fell off me, which is good I suppose, but DAMN. I was not expecting that.

So now I own three pairs of smart trousers and a smart skirt (in sizes ranging from 12 to 18, but they all fit the same Hmm Confused as well as a couple more smart tops and a jacket.

Groovee · 08/08/2017 19:41

Lost 1lb so happy with that.

Oops @OwlinaTree

Lol at the Pizza @emwithme, highly intelligent but canny order a pizza!

Good luck with the interview.

ALemonyPea · 08/08/2017 20:18

I feel your pizza pain a Groovee. Ordered the DC Pizza Hut with a few sides, sat in a huff while they ate it and I ate my scabby pork stir fry.

Holiday in 13 days, I intend on enjoying every last morsel while I'm there. Must stay focused until then.

Good luck on the interview Em, and well done on the new clothes.

Aren't clothes sizes weird. I am a 10-12 now, and when the Next sale was on I went shopping for a dress for a wedding. Found a lovely dress, and a 16 fitted nicely. I didn't buy it, more for vanity reasons than anything. Such an idiot.

FoofFighter · 08/08/2017 20:35

Joining the no pizza club :(

DS & his fiancée has deep fried battered pizza and chips and battered haggis.

I did not Envy

Greenteandchives · 08/08/2017 20:40

Well done groovee. Feeling happy tonight! Got my Club10 and One Stone award. Really really pleased. Couldn't have done it without SW.

looffie · 08/08/2017 20:56

Groovee · 08/08/2017 21:07

Well done @Greenteandchives that's brilliant x

NeverEnoughSleep1 · 08/08/2017 21:15

Well done everyone for loses and restraining on pizza bans Grin

I've just tried the syn free SW sausages from ice land they weren't that bad but weren't great. Easy to chuck them in the actifry, haven't ate much today with working nights slept nearly all day but glad I haven't reached for the junk food
