New thread peeps!

Well done May 😀 I hope DD gets better soon.🎉 I have a one piece for my swimming with a tummy panel. That gives me confidence😀

Thanks boats - I have a one piece with a tummy panel but I went for boring black because I felt self conscious. I'm going to wait until I drop a size then look for something a bit more colourful. I'm working on being less self-critical!

Mines black but it has 4 different colour stripes running across the front 😀

Heya all, i'm a newbie to mumsnet and have been on sw for 3 weeks now. Lost 7lbs so far been reading through the thread for weeks and you are all very inspirational

Woo! Weigh in this morning,1.5lbs off and finally reached my target pleased as I was super good last week. Got to learn to maintain now. 1st 9lbs gone forever (hopefully!!!!)

Congratulations @Testarossa1 good luck on your staying at target journey x

Thanks Groovee been given another book with tips and hints in etc. Consultant said this morning it's all about balance now, I can have little treats, or days off plan, but balance it with having the other days as good on plan days. Which I find quite sensible advice.

Well done jonesy1987, that's a brilliant start.

Congratulations Testarossa1!!! That's amazing Keep us updated

Thank you @mayathebee :)

well done testerosa

mayathebee I'm not going anywhere! Still going to go to group as I think I'd find it too easy to slip back into bad habits!

Thanks myguidejools it's kind of a tad scary knowing I can 'relax a little now and again. Going to carry on with what I've been doing, I'm not consciously going to go looking for treats etc, but just see what happens!

Hi, does anyone know if kefir, goats milk one, is a hea? Thank you.

I weighed myself this morning and I'm half off so I'm pleased with that. I'm trying very hard to keep up with it all while not attending group. I don't think the group made much difference at all really!

Sorry to have disappeared for a while - I've had a crazy few weeks at work, followed by a week all inclusive in Cyprus. I braved weigh in this morning and was delighted to find I actually lost 1lb! I was definitely not an angel but I tried to be broadly sensible...
So pleased, and aiming to get my 1st award next week.

Well done @boo

I fear I will gain lots when I’m away

Congratulations Testa! It is a great feeling to hit target.

I keep going to group, so I don't slip back but also for the social side. I have made some good friends in group. We actually started up a social walking group each Thursday evening too.

Mayathebee, I have never ventured into a bikini either. I am now size 10/12 but it is a black swimsuit all the way for me!

Welcome Jonesy1987 😀
Well done to Testarossa1, Frozen and boo* . 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I know this might sound silly but I am finding it harder to maintain. I knew exactly what I could have if I wanted to lose, but now It's difficult to know how to maintain that balance 🤔

I've been starving today.

B - 2 weetabix with blueberries and apple with 100ml milk
L - large salad, ham and corn on the cob (using up bbq stuff!)
D - heck sausages (2.5 syns) with potato cubes and vegetables

Snacks - 2 large Americanos with semi skimmed milk (I say these are a snack haha). Carrot and Bowl of fruit with meringue (3 syns)

I'm finding I'm obsessing over food more now I'm at target. I have no idea why!

I find that Groovee !!!!!!! I was better b4 but I don't want to lose any more .what to do ????? 🙉

Morning all.

Congrats testa!

lemony if you are still about FWIW I think you are doing the right thing. If you can’t eat speed then you need to try something else to see if it’s easier/more effective. Fruit and veg is such a big part of SW. Do let us know how you are getting on though.

Had a not so good weekend and booked holiday so I didn’t have to WI yesterday

Had a really long day out on Sunday and ended up getting a Chinese on the way home as we were exhausted and my will power dissolved. I don’t think it will have been too bad, but the bloat from water retention etc means I would have definitely shown a big gain on the scales. My home scales showed about 5lb on but I know it’s just bloating. I didn’t want it written down in my book though as I’m only currently 1lb away from target (although I might lower it by 2lbs).

Madness how much one salty meal can affect weight, and I find it takes most of the week to come back off. I’m trying to drink loads to flush it through.

I’m at a conference for the next 2 days so I’m hoping lunch is similar to last year where there was chicken breasts and veg/salad. I’ve had weetabix for breakfast and have a banana and an apple in my bag for a mid morning snack.

Going to hot yoga tonight too to hopefully sweat the Chinese out!

If I have chinese I usually have it Fri night as my WI isn't till the next Fri morn lol 😆

@boats ditto

I wi fri at home

And usually have CHINESE in even

I rarely eat all my syns and tho they say you now shouldn’t do over a week and 15 a day I find weekly works better for me

B bacon and grapes
L salad chicken
T

Not sure about tea. I’m working tonight so something quick

I have sw spag Bol - chicken curry and sweet potato curry in freezer

Yep one of the annoying things about a Monday WI! Although it helps keep me on track at the weekend in general, even though they are so much harder than week days for me.

This weekend we have nothing on so I’m going to try really hard to stay 100% on plan. I’m out Thursday for dinner at Wagamama and will have something within syns.

Was gagging for a biscuit at morning coffee at my conference but there is only fruit so that’s helped me out.
