Right I mean it this time .........

[Zazu44]

Ok so I bloody need to stick to this. I'm planning on a lovely hol over Xmas/ new year 23 weeks to lose 2 1/2 or 3 stone.
I always do half a week and then complain it's not working quick enough.Anyone want to join me and give me a kick up the arse from time to time?

Come on in Lightheart I cant wait to get back to work to sort myself out! Good luck!

Ideas for SP days

Carrot chips (parboil or micro wedges until
Bendy) then cook as you would SW Chips
Butternut squash (wedges as above or roast cubes or roast two halves for about a hour)
Singing swede (sling a whole swede in micro no piercing) in micro for 15 to 20 mins slice off top and scoop out flesh
Trays/bags of stir fry veg just fry with balsamic or soy sauce and seasoning eg paprika

Good morning all, how you doing? Back from holiday.. need to get it together and step on the scales 😱

Good luck whynot ! Did you have a good holiday?
I'm not weighing in until morning but this week hasn't been the best

Lovely holiday but I felt the weight piling on.. I really need to get back in the zone now the kids go back Monday 🙌

I'm back at work after mat leave. I'm so ready to get back to normal! 😂

Maybe we could all try a little burst of effort next week as the new school term starts? I’ve hovered around the same weight over the school holidays and determined to get to target for xmas!
I’ve got just under a stone to go. Let’s do it!

I might lose about 14st in five minutes if my husband does not stop singing bloody baby shark! I can hear him in the bath
It's a great idea that though! Fresh term, fresh start!
Saw a post on FB that said if you lost 'this much' each week you'll lose 'this much' b Christmas. If I lose 1lb a week I'll be at target for Christmas

I've bought best magazine which has a discounted joining fee for slimming world in it.. I was a target member once!! So I'm going back to basics from Wednesday.. I'll face the official scales and report back. I got down to 8.4 at target from 11.4 so know it's possible.. I know I only have around a stone to lose but I just could have going back up and up. I'm so unhappy putting weight back on so I'm going to give it my best shot! Come on ladies we can do this 💪

Haha woo! Baby shark is the devils work isn’t it
Whynot you sound really motivated! You’re right we can do this. I’m going to try to log everything I eat. I have a tendency to sneak little morsels over the day thinking they don’t count!
Target here we come...slim for Christmas

He's found baby monkey now! It wouldn't be so bad if DS was the age where he appreciates it... he's 5 months old!
I'm going to log EVERYTHING from now on. I'm not going to write things down because im really bad at it but I'm going to take pictures so I know what's going in

Morning how you all doing?
I've just done the new school run .. usually we take the care but one of my son's has moved up to junior school which is a different location - still walking distance in the same direction with a little diversion. So today we headed off on the scooters.. and then I power walked back after dropping off the other one.. my goodness I need a lay down!! I'd forgotten how many steps it was.. before I was driving I did the walk daily there and back for drop off and pick up and used to clock up around 12k steps!! So.. this week I'll walk it and then next week on go the trainers and I'll be jogging back 🙌 that should tick the body magic box daily 😆

You've inspired me whynot! I always drive the school run but I going to challenge us to walk it as much as possible. Otherwise ok. How's everyone else?
I've been having a nice pudding every now and then, some choc shot (2 Syns I think per tsp? Best check again) mixed with quark. You can add a bit of cocoa and a bit of orange juice/zest too to mix it up a bit. Or some defrosted stoned cherries. Yum.

That's great guys! I'm back at work (yay!) but bloody OFSTED are coming so I've comfort eaten a chippy tea also got given a box of chocs at work, I was going to save them until Xmas to stop the temptation but the BH (bastard husband) opened them!

Give it a go @Lovelymonkeyninetynine I felt quite good about myself walk yesterday and if this rain stops this morning we are doing it all again! I've ordered myself some new sketchers as I find them good for walking.. oh and an Apple Watch to track my steps (it's been an expensive morning 😆) all go motivation. I'm 2lb down from the weekend and watching what I'm eating.. onwards and upwards ladies 🙌 let's get thin for Christmas

Get back on it woo! I cooked the kids tea starving and ended up scarfing 6 breaded mozzarella sticks they didn't eat at 3 syns each, on top of the syns I'd already had today.
I'm trying not to use this an excuse to eat any more shite. Never mind, the odd slip up isn't the end of the world.

And whynot I did some walking today after your post! You sound super motivated, keep going! How much do we all want to lose for xmas? I need to lose about 12 pounds I think to get to target, but will confirm after tomorrow's weigh in.

I went a bit mad (stressed/tired) at him because he bypassed the open chocolate and opened new ones I've not eaten any though! I did have a malteser celebration The odd slip up isn't the end of the world
I'm aiming for target - 1st 5lbs

Hello ladies how we all doing? Still scooting / walking the school run 🙌 I've clocked up some serious steps this week. Also back in the gym today and done my lbt class. We have a wedding tomorrow so no doubt the food intake will go up a little .. I'm going to consciously make an effort not to make a pig of myself!!

Looking to lose a stone by Christmas.. not doubt a slow battle but I'm giving my best shot.

Stay focused for the weekend if you can, if not eat drink and be merry 🤩

Well done on the exercise whynot! I lost 2 this week and feel motivated to try and get another 2 off this week (even though I could murder a drink right now! But no syns left )
I've got 10 pounds till target now! Really want to get in with it! Have a great week all.

Well done @Lovelymonkeyninetynine that's a good steady loss 🙌 well I've been bad 🤦‍♀️ we went to my sisters wedding yesterday and I've drunk my body weigh in wine. Back on the wagon having felt the after effects all day.. Jesus I'm amazed I'm still alive lol

Never mind tomorrow is another day and I shall be back to walking the school run and have a body pump class booked for 9.30am.

Have a great week all x

Well done Lovelonkey!
I put 1 1/2lb on 🙈 it has been a crazy week so I'm not surprised... back on it this week though!
Have a good week ladies x

Gah! Mindless snacking! Just did the kid some raisins and chocolate chips and have scoffed a load. Must be time of the month as I'm craving chocolate so much! I've got a night out planned on Saturday so really need to reign in this sort of mindless shit
