September '17 joiners to Slimming World

[Oldowl]

Hi

I joined last week. First time I have done SW. Anyone want to join me?

I weighed in (Tue) at 11 st 12.5lb (5'7" tall). I set my target for 1 stone, but would really like to get back down to 10 stone. Not sure this is doable before Christmas.

I started a new job 2 years a go and have put on 2 stone.

I am amazed how much free food their is. I don't think I have eaten so much fruit, veg or eggs in years!

Today I have had:

Breakfast: Branflakes and milk
Mid morning: A banana and 6 strawberies
Lunch: Rocket, sweet potato and feta salad with an ostrich steak (2 for £4.49 from Lidl, 157 cals and 2% fat), fat free yoghurt.

(Never had an ostrich steak before, it was delicious. It was in a Moroccan marinade)

Will probably have an omelette for tea.

Well done everyone!

I got 1.5 lb off... hoped for more as I maintained last week. Got my club 10 though which I was happy with 😁

So I went and weighed in and as expected (have been so off plan) have put on 2lb so since I started I had lost 13lb but am now down to 9lb total down, I’m still pretty happy and will be totally back on it come Hanuary.

1lb on this week. I blame chocolate and lack of willpower!!

3.5 off today - I'm amazed! That's 1 stone 11.5 in total 😁 still a way to go but I'm happy so far

Wow! That is brilliant Playmobilpirate.

I bought some size 12 skinny jeans today. I was amazed. Until I tried them on I had not realised how much my shape has changed.

It certainly feels good to try on clothes and look good. Back in September, my underwear was so uncomfortable by the evening and I had red marks where they had dug in. Hopefully a four year old child won't ask me if I have a baby in my tummy again!

3lb on today 😣 I've eaten like a pig over Xmas. Back on it today!

0.5lb on for me this week, so 1.5lb on in the last fortnight. Back on it today!

Not too bad guys and easily undone, I’m in America on holiday so you can imagine what my diet has been like but I’m pretty committed and know I can get back on it on the new year...,

New Years resolution is to go for a 10-15 minute run every night (in the dark round the block where I live).

Last night very windy and cold. Was nearly sick when I got back (15 mins). However, 17 year old daughter was about 3 minutes behind me as she sprinted off ahead then walked the rest of the way (checking her phone)!!

Great resolution Owl

I feel fat and horrible. Put on 3lb Christmas week and have eaten non stop since then (guests here which hasn't helped)

Feel like I'll be starting from scratch tomorrow!

1lb off this week. Just 0.5lb to go until the Christmas weight has gone.

How is everyone else doing?

I skipped glass yesterday 😣

Back on it today though... and have messaged the group leader to say I'll be there next week!

Back to evening weigh-in group as back at work.

1.5lb on for me. Still within target...phew!

I had my weigh in after my holiday and 2.5lb on, I’m actually pretty ok with that, but am now overall only 6.5lb down since I started.
I’m going to write everything down for the next few weeks and get back on track.

That's not bad at all Filo

I'm back at group tomorrow at 9. Been 100% in the zone this week and hoping to be back to what I was before Xmas... nervous though after skipping class last week!

I lost 3.5 lb so am lower than I was before Christmas. Im doing dry January so I wonder if thats made a difference? Ive done quite a lot of walking too but now ive come down with that horrible cold, I doubt id be up for much walking for a few days

2lb off today.

I'd put on 3 between Xmas and new year then didn't go last week (knew if gained again and wanted a lie in more than I wanted to find out how much) so God knows what I've clawed back this week!

1 stone 10.5 off in total... want my 2 stone in the next couple of weeks.

I think my first food after weigh should be extra nice - usually I have a big fat bit of cake or something.... instead I had a posh but healthy lunch

Half a plate of speed! You are seriously in the zone with such a healthy lunch. You will get your 2 stone sticker before the end of January.

I'll be glad just to get back to target at a 6pm weigh-in!

Back on it, lost 1.5lb this week

1lb off for me. Now 10st 6.5lb (1lb over target). I WILL be back at target next week!!

Hi, I’m new here and also new at SW. Is it ok if I join in? I’m struggling a bit so far

Hi Boo, we’ve all been going since September but the more the merrier, kids wanted a Burger King (very rare in our house) I nearly just thought sod it but checked the sun calculator and it was nearly 30 syns for a burger!

Hi FiloPasty,
Great name haha. Thank you for the welcome. I’m sure I’m grieving for sweet stuff and crisps. 3rd day and I’m finding it really hard because I have a terrible sweet tooth!

2lb off for me and got my club 10 which I'm delighted with Especially as its been a stressful week at home with illnesses resulting in me self medicating in a nice little cafe with a large slice of coffee cake this week! I might do a speed week just because I've found myself wanting hexb for breakfast and something bready for lunch. The eggs or yoghurt/ soup aren't really cutting it at the moment.

4lb off , slimmer of the week and my 2 stone award! Shocked but chuffed to bits 😁
