New thread to see in 2018. Everyone welcome.

Having lost 4st in 2017... I'm looking at target by Valentine's Day if possible.

Look forward to welcoming everyone back and welcome to those embarking on their journey x

@susurration that's a shame. I made the dirty rice lots of people raced about and it was bland!

Hi everyone, I started again (from home) on Tuesday. I joined time last year and lost just over a stone but then got complacent and started to eat cake / chocolate / cheese / biscuits and unsuprisngly have put 12lb of it back on. My actual meals today have been ok (B - overnight oats, L - scrambled egg with gravlax, T - salmon with veg) but I'm still struggling with all the extra bits. Today's additional bits are a lovely day slice of homemade banana cake, half a toasted buttered tea cake, 2 squares of dark chocolate and 2 breadsticks. Tomorrow is another day...
My starting stats are as follows:
Height 5'7"
Current weight 12st12lb
Target weight 11st

I'm in!
I need to lose 17lbs to get to target - I'm doing it at home with no classes.

I am vegetarian and love cheese so it will be hard to limit it. I may give it up completely and use my A choice just for milk.

I also need new batteries for my scales!

This morning was the first weigh in for me of the year, 2.5lbs off this week. Really pleased 1 stone 6lbs off since I started in mid November! Time to put dinner in the slow cooker for tonight.

Just discovered the online weight loss planner, which is really useful. Is anyone else doing SW online?

Hi all. December was an absolute disaster for weight loss between a holiday, Christmas and a massive relapse in my eating disorder recovery. I went back to class last night and I've gained 12lbs since the end of November, which means it's utterly impossible that I'll be at target for my holiday in March Sad I was well on my way towards that goal but never mind - it is what it is.

Back up to 13st 1.5. Today is day one again.

Some great losses!
The hot salmon salad was delicious. I added some beetroot to give it extra colour. Going to eat the leftovers for tea tonight while the lads have pizzas.
Managed 32 minutes on the Wii this morning.

@bingandflop i'm doing it online only. I get too anxious trying to go to group things. My husband is happy to eat whatever I cook for slimming world and also stick to Syns. Lucky bugger loses the weight faster than me though!

@amusedbush please don't be disheartened. You have two months before your holiday, you don't know what might happen in that time.

I'm struggling a bit today. At work someone wafted a tin of Roses under my nose and I nearly caved in. I resisted, but my husband is off out tonight and normally I would treat myself to something like McDonalds or a pizza. Its a bit of a danger zone for me so hoping I stay strong and stay on plan.

I've had a terrible day today - I made SW eggs benedict for breakfast and leek and potato soup for lunch, but then ate crisps, cheese and crackers and two bread rolls. Then some of DD's humous sandwich for tea Blushand a bit of yoghurt, her leftovers etc etc.

I'm really tired so it affects my appetite.

I'm 9.5lbs from target at the moment and it's hard to stay on plan in some ways because I'm so close to getting there. That is totally nonsensical isn't it?!

hi im new to the thread but not slimming world...
first joined in 2016 but after a major life event I put back on the 2 stone that I'd lost so rejoining a group on Monday.
I've got 5 sizes to lose...
I don't know how it equates to weight but I'd like to be a size 12/14 so that is my overall target rather than a weight target as for me I'm not losing weight for my health but my self esteem, mental health etc

I built a house - I recognise that feeling - so nearly there but not quite and self sabotage. I have 10 lbs to go to Target. I've come into the new year recharged after a month or so of losing and gaining the same few lbs. Feeling committed atm and keep reminding myself that I've already lost 2st and kept it off for a year, so lots of room for positivity 👍🏻

@Pipsqueak11 we have Diet Coke chicken often at our house. My husband actually requests it, to me it tastes like sweet and sour chicken.

larry55 · 06/01/2018 13:54

I have you tried cooking chicken in diet orange tango instead of diet coke as I have been told it really tastes like sweet and sour chicken?

I am making a courgette lasagna tonight as Tom Kerridge made one on his programme on Wednesday but I will use frylight rather than olive oil and blended cottage cheese instead of ricotta.
