Jealous of your afternoon tea tigger! Enjoy it and then draw a line under it!
5lb off, total of 11, so hoping for 3 to get my stone next week. Slimmer of the week too 😄

Flowers for Groovee, take it easy!

I've got a lentil and vegetable curry in the slow cooker using a jdseasonings tikka masala mix, smells most unlike any curry I have ever smelt o.0 have added some extra curry powder to it. Fingers crossed!

ALemonyPea · 15/07/2017 12:24

Groovee, don't worry about dieting the next few days. Take it easy and relax. 💐

Tigger, afternoon tea is probably one of those meals you can't control the syns over, so just enjoy and have low syns the rest of the week, 5 syns max.

Groovee · 15/07/2017 12:40

Have sent DH to subway for a salad. I so want a salad

TurquoiseOwl · 15/07/2017 14:58

@Groovee - get well soon!

Why am I not losing? So frustrating. It's going to be so embarrassing on Monday.

FoofFighter · 15/07/2017 15:24

stop weighing yourself!

TurquoiseOwl · 15/07/2017 15:30

But I'm not losinggg

LavenderRains · 15/07/2017 15:36

turquoise do we need to put you on the naughty step!!?
STOP WEIGHING YOURSELF
I bet you will lose some and even if you don't it's not embarrassing at all. Youve made such a good start. Stay with it!Flowers

TurquoiseOwl · 15/07/2017 16:03

Grin I won't be staying for group though! It would be very cringe. I literally think it's going to be something like 1/2 a pound. I'm literally so sad! I've been on plan Sad I definitely will stick with it as last week was a good start, but it's a bit embarrassing for the 2nd week.

caremummy · 15/07/2017 17:01

It will probably catch up next week - loads of people have a good wi a week after a good week, and a loss is a loss 💪🏻
I officially joined - online wasn't for me and the consultant was lovely.
Got a mushroom,butter bean and onion curry with mayflower sauce in the slow cooker for tea 😀

caremummy · 15/07/2017 17:03

Officially rejoined I should say

FoofFighter · 15/07/2017 17:44

Who exactly are you thinking you're going to embarrass anyway? the group helpers have seen it all before so don't worry. nobody ever shames anyone if there is a gain.

NeverEnoughSleep1 · 15/07/2017 18:27

I'm struggling tonight with not just ordering a takeout after a busy day with DC the last thing I can be bothered to do is cook

Groovester · 15/07/2017 18:28

turquoise Amazon prime day made me buy digital scales. Between last night and approximately 5 minutes ago I have fluctuated a whole 7lbs. And I'm on plan. Don't sweat it, you'll be fine!

ALemonyPea · 15/07/2017 18:37

Turquoise, I'm the worst person for weighing myself. I try not to do it daily, doesn't always work, but my weight changes throughout the week, and I can weigh 4lb more on a night time.

Don't worry about what the scales say in Monday, stay with it, the results will show.

LavenderRains · 15/07/2017 18:39

Our consultant runs 5 sessions on one day. She says she can weigh on the first and last session and have a difference of 5lb
I'm willing to bet money or cake that turquoise has a loss! X

TurquoiseOwl · 15/07/2017 19:01

Thanks all Flowers I know weight does change, but if I compare it to last week, I know I haven't lost/lost anything significant. Every morning the scales just aren't going down! I really hope it is a loss, but I'll see! I'm terrible, I weigh about 15 times a day.

LavenderRains · 15/07/2017 21:03

Seriously?! 15 times a day!! You need to give the scales away, they are doing you no favours. Be kind to yourself and take them to the charity shopFlowers

FoofFighter · 15/07/2017 21:16

Was it you turquoise who had that mammoth first week loss? Sorry old gimmer here who can't keep up!

FoofFighter · 15/07/2017 21:17

Never, times like this that batch cooked meals that you could throw in the microwave save the day.
Or have an on plan Chinese! Syns are there to be used

ALemonyPea · 15/07/2017 21:26

Throw those scales away! I can understand weighing once a day, but that is crazy. I weigh same time of the day so I know if I've gone up or down.

TurquoiseOwl · 15/07/2017 21:34

@FoofFighter - I did 10.5 lbs last week Smile

I share the scales, so can't get rid of them! I know it's crazy, but I just know it won't be a loss. It does me no good as I purposely won't drink in the evenings, etc. so I can check my weight, but I know that's just stupid, so definitely need to stop.

FoofFighter · 15/07/2017 21:42

It's entirely possible that with a massive loss like that, this weigh in might be a little lacking. Doesn't mean you've not tried, our bodies do not have any concept of time and do not know we expect them to lose a certain amount by a certain day of the week Wink

TurquoiseOwl · 15/07/2017 22:40

Thank you ❤️

My consultant said to me last week that if I put my mind to it I could get my stone award this week Sad that's why I suppose I'm a bit disappointed! Don't want her suggesting that I'm not putting my mind to it.

OwlinaTree · 16/07/2017 00:12

There's nothing more disappointing than a sts when you've worked at staying on plan all week. Unfortunately our bodies are full of hormones etc which mean we won't always lose weight in a totally linear way. It's a bummer but it's true. Stick with it.

Been to the pub tonight after singing in a show, so had a wine and a couple of gins. Pleased I went onto the gins! Have gone over syns today by about 5 but under other days this week so it's all good. Had a fab evening though!
