SW Motivation for those that have a lot to lose

[Thegirlwithnousername]

Hello!
Come and join us on this if you have a lot to lose.
I started SW at 24 stone 11lbs and in 14 weeks I have lost 2 stone 5.5lbs.
I am super proud of myself but I have 11 stone 13 pounds to go.
We can do this!

We are here for you!

Hi and welcome to all the new ladies! I agree with @slithytove to keep this thread going, it has been such support to me so far!

@slithytove Well done! Thats really good going so far!

@JakeBallardswife have you got access to the slimming world website?
The recipes are good as they tell you how many syns/ if its a sp meal or not/ if you can do it in the slow cooker.
If not when i get home tonight i will have a look in my recipe book for you. Im sad and have it all split into sections (syn free, sp, comfort etc 😂)

@trinitybleu Bread is my downfall too, its just too easy and too nice and goes with anything!!

@fleabagmonkey Thats great well done!! I wish a could shift half a stone in a week!

Oooops dont know what happened with the bolding 🤦‍♀️

Thank you, I was amazed as well! Bread is the one thing I really miss, small slices of wholemeal are just not the same!

@MummatoaMunchkin I'll have a look at the website, just trying to get my head round it all really!

However amazing how much less you can eat, also am going out this evening so have bought some alcohol free gin at £28 a bottle but loving it and also some fever tree light elderflower tonic which is all syn free (including the gin).

@fleabagmonkey they really arnt!! Some days they help the craving other days u feel like i could eat the whole loaf!!

@JakeBallardswife it is confusing at first but once you get the hang of it its not so bad.
It is amazing especially things like pasta!
How was your night out?

No alcohol gin worked well, nice change & syn free, thank you. No for a couple of syn free days before weigh in!

Well done to all on their successes! I managed to shift 2lb today so am pleased - but a little confused because there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why I should gain so much last week and lose so much this week. I considered changing the time of my class so I could stay (can only stay in school holidays as I work in the afternoons) but for one reason and another I decided against it.

Off to work soon - good luck to everyone if you weigh in this evening!

Well done Kaitlinktd! I lose 2lb as well this morning, I need half a pound more for my stone, fingers crossed for next week!

Well done Fleabag - I am sure your stone will be in the (flea)bag next week!

Well done losers! 1.5lb off for me today. Had a really good group session on eating out on SW - loads of really good ideas.

Well done everyone on their losses 😊

I didnt go to group as still short of funds 🙁 i dread how much i have put on i have been eating everything in sight!!

Had my weigh in on Tuesday and lost a pound - very happy with that as it was a challenging week and I had an evening weigh in instead of morning, plus got my club 10 award.

Current total of 23 lbs off
Still to lose 55 lbs

Am hoping for a 2-3 loss next week. Next mini target, 2 stone award (5lbs to go)

Where does everyone want to be by Christmas? I’m hoping for a total of 2.5 stone off

@slithytove thats great! you must be chuffed!

Id love to be at 1st/ 1st1/2 or club 10, i wanted to be at 2st but i dont think it will happen. I keep getting derailed i know its my own fault and its so frustrating!

But now hubby has been paid i will go to group on tues, though dreading the result!!

Don’t worry mumma just go and keep posting here, how much have you got to lose in total? I think you mentioned 5 stone in which case you could totally hit a stone by Christmas!

My group is on Tuesday as well. When I have the money I buy the blocks, is that something you could do? Keeps me motivated to go.

I have had a very bad weekend so going to try and have a speed day tomorrow to get a boost for tues.

Thanks @slithytove 😊 yeah
Its 5 stone, really want to lose it by my 30th next year 🤞

I would love to by a block but never seem
to have enough money 🙁 but i plan to keep going and to post in here 😊

Good luck for tomorrow! Dod you have your speed day today?

I did not! Haha

Pooh - half a pound on this week after my nice loss last week. Went out for a meal on Thursday and am wondering if that was why - even though I tried to choose wisely. Am trying not to let it set me back - just had boiled eggs and Ryvita flatbreads for breakfast.

Well done to Slithy and Boo - and Mumma, just keep going. I once read that the people who lost weight successfully weren't those who had big losses but those who just kept going. Let's hope that's us!

Can i join?

Joined a few months ago after the birth of DS. Have totally fallen off the wagon and havent been for a few weeks. Recently caught sight of myself in a full length mirror in Sainsburys and felt terrible 😢. Weigh in tomorrow evening so will post my weight then.

Good luck everyone!

Woo lost 4.5lbs! No idea how but I’ll take it.

Current total of 27.5 lbs off
Still to lose 51.5 lbs

0.5 lbs to my 2 stone award

Hello everyone, well done on your loses so far!

I weighed in on Tuesday and had lost another one and a half pounds so that is my first stone plus a pound off! I am very happy.

I am hoping to get my club 10 by Christmas but that is still 11 or 12 pounds away so I might be being rather optimistic!

Restarted yesterday and im. 19st 2.2lbs :(

Congrats on your weight loss everyone

Just weighed in and dropped another 0.5 which I am pleased with as I thought I’d have a maintain if not a gain! That’s my 2 stone award now.

5 weigh ins left before Christmas and I want to hit my 2.5 stone award plus a bit spare for Christmas Day. Which I am really nervous about as I’ll not be attending my usual group for 2 weeks.

Hello! Thought I would come back to this thread as have been struggling a little recently.
Since I last was here I have gotten my 2st award and my club 10 award with a 2st and 1lb lost.
However I am still 13lb away from what was my target for the end of the year. I feel frustrated that I have been going to the group and the gym for ages and haven't made more progress. I wish I could just stop eating so much!! Started off so well when I first went to group.

On a more positive note I have gone from size 20/22 to a size 18. I also quite like my pictures now, looking much better in them! Just want to look even better.

I need to really focus now for the last few weeks before Christmas. I have a dress in my cupboard that doesnt quite fit but I was planning on wearing it for Christmas so need to shift that 13lb before then.

Hello Solina, well done on your 2 stone and Club 10! Even if the scales haven't been going down as fast as you wanted think about how much good you are doing yourself with the healthy eating and gym. I think that is fantastic.

I weighted in yesterday and got another 2lb off. I am trying for my club 10 for Christmas, 9lb away.

I wonder if any of us are in the same group
