Slimming world support thread #7 2017

[BasinHaircut]

Hello!

I've got my stone!

Really pleased.

A week of properly writing down everything seems to have done the trick

Well done Trills!

Evening all!

onestep I was another who found it really slowed down as I got near target. My last stone was all 1/2 and 1lb losses unless I upped the body magic.

Well done Trills!

I got a well deserved 1.5lb gain! To be honest, I'd expected more. I have eaten so much crap this week. I also had tea before I went because I have moved from the 5.30 to 7.30 group (things have changed since I started going) so I figured since I knew I'd gained, I'd take the hit this week and then I can have tea before I go from now on (I don't like eating at 9.30!). Back on it now although we are on holiday Mon-Fri next week at Centre parcs. I'll try to stay focused though and see how I go. I want a loss next time!

Well done on the loss trills and good luck for this week faithagain! I had a bad week last week but am back on it this week tracking and planning seems to be the key

@TurquoiseChevrotain

Head office can extend countdowns... hospitalisation and bereavements are the reasons listed in your pack for them doing it, so she should be fine.

Do any of you do the 'black hole' thing?

Flutterby it's definitely about planning for me!

What's the black hole thing?

What the black hole thing?

Black hole night - The night of your weigh in you enjoy a few naughty things & don't count syns... really naughty I know but I find it stops me from going totally off plan the rest of the week, and it doesn't seem to affect my losses. I know a couple of ppl who do it so was just curious to see if it was a common thing with you guys too

I lost 2lb this week! Surprised because I've got AF as well. I usually gain when I am due on as I bloat. X

No I don’t as I go straight to my Burlesque class. Usually have some quark and healthy extras when I get home then bed.

Well done Mittens x

By the time I get home from weigh-in it's 9:30 and I haven't had dinner yet (I go straight from work). IF I had a lot of syns then I'd not be getting the maximum enjoyment out of them. I have a few syns every day but save having any extra for social occasions.

@Owlina I'm the same - I'm 2 stone down, 1 stone to go - now I'm pratting about losing and gaining the same half pound.

"Do any of you do the 'black hole' thing?"

Nope, I've tried it (I've been a member a long time, lol) I found it did affect losses, I could get away with it, but, the losses weren't as good at all...and I think it made me slip back in to old bad habits as well.

Ah ok. It didn't seem to affect my losses but I think it is now starting too so I'm still going to treat myself to 1 thing but not have as much as before - I feel it keeps me going for the week but I also find sometimes I end up eating syns just for the sake of eating syns!
1st 3 till target...

I feel so poorly! And yet I had a stupid idea of making Slimming Eats, loaded baked potato soup!

It was lovely but I am back in bed.

Hope you feel better soon Groovee!

I don't do the black hole thing. I did it with WW and I never got results I wanted. I try to plan my meals quite carefully around group so that I don't fall off the wagon! Now I've moved from a 5.30 to 7.30 group I'll eat beforehand (something light!) then have a synned treat afterwards (usually something fun like meringue with squirty cream with strawberries and raspberries, or a frozen curly wurly!

Congrats everyone on ur losses! I've got weigh in tomorrow morning, not expecting a great loss (AF is just around the corner)! Been on plan all week and been swimming three times this week so you never know.

Had the most amazing dinner tonight, syn free baked spaghetti 😋! It's off the pinchofnom website get on there and search it was delicious!!! I changed the veg to peppers and courgettes mmmm I could deffo eat that again xxx

Only half off for me this week - but then it's a loss & I also wasn't on plan at all on my wedding anniversary so can't really complain. Thinking of doing a few SP days this week to give me a good loss

Pound on!! How?! WHY??

Orianna that keeps happening to me too 😢

Owlina and Groovee, I had the same thing the closer to target i got. It was so bloody frustrating. I found having a few speedy B choices a week and mainly only having carbs with one meal a day helped. Reduce your syns as well if you can. Was bloody depressing some days, but worth it in the long run to get to target.

I was meant to get weighed officially on Tuesday, first time since before my holidays, but had to collect DS from school so couldn’t go. Going next week instead. Think my consultant is getting fed up of me not weighing in, but I need the support not the scales.

Have had a good week otherwise. Made lots of soups and froze them. Love soup season.

1 1/2lbs off!! Finally got my half stone award!! Going Stratford for the day tomorrow and thinking of going Bella Italian for lunch, anyone have any recommendations of what to have?? I'm thinking of having veggie spaghetti with a tomato sauce and just a sprinkling of Parmesan lol xxx
