[Groovee]

Shiny new thread 🌟🌟

Man I just want to hit the Christmas food aisles, buy everything and eat it all.

My ferritin issues from before my surgery last year have resurfaced. A lovely friend has passed away just weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. Life really sucks just now and I'm wallowing. I know I can get through it though.

I'll have my tablet ice cream at the theatre tomorrow and take juice with me.

Sorry to hear you're having a tough time grovee
Don't be hard on yourself. X

Sounds tough groovee.

Hello, been on this 2 weeks
Can anyone shed light on why muller lights give me diarrhoea?
So disappointing I love them, bought a 6 pack had two the first day & had to leave work it was so bad. Had another one a few days later & same thing so I'm sure it's them. Just to check I had one last night & yep again
Can eat other yogs & dairy no problem.

Hi @WelshRach5l welcome. I have no idea but they are too runny for me. I prefer Lidl's Skyr yoghurts or Danone light and free as they are thicker. You might need to change what yoghurt you are eating.

Sorry things are tough atm @Groovee

It’s hard to be strong at times like this. Hope you can x

Sorry for your loss groovee. Take care of yourself.

I was considering sp too to shake things up a bit.

I've had a good week I've been on plan 100% for almost 3 weeks. Tonight we are having pizza take away. I thought 2 slices of pizza and salad would be ok? Slightly over syns but as a one off? I don't used all my syns anyway so far this week I've had 20 syns in total when I could of had 75. Should I expect a loss still or will I of buggered it now?

You may well lose but only the scales will tell on weigh Day. Everyone is different.

Sorry you are having a tough time groovee, be kind to yourself

Well done Tobermory. My running has gone by the wayside recently as work has been hectic but I have a 5 mile run booked next weekend so I'd better dig my trainers out.

Good luck for wi fivenights. I think that as time goes on you get a better feel for what will have an effect on the scales.

I've lost 3lb this week which makes 10.5 lb altogether so I'm really pleased. I was aiming for a stone off by Xmas which should be manageable even with a couple of xmas meals out.

I have lost a whopping 4lbs this week! and taking me over the 2 stone mark!

Thanks @tailrunner. I’ve not been out in a while (a long while!) so dug out my runnng app to try and get back into it.
Did 9k yesterday morning which left me feeling really good!

Well done on your losses, @sunshine and @tailrunner

I had my first weigh in (after a week totally on plan) on Friday and was disappointed to find I had only lost 1.5lbs. I know a loss is a loss, it’s all heading in the right direction etc etc but I felt short-changed to be honest. If I had deviated from the plan I wouldn’t have minded but I was so strict in terms of following all the guidance and really wanted a cracking result in the first week to get me off to a good start. The lady who weighed me did her best to sound enthusiastic but I could tell in her voice she was a bit underwhelmed too...

Thanks @tailrunner. I ended up just having one slice and made some sw chips so damage would of been very little. Hoping to get my stone award on Tues, fingers crossed!

I lost 3.5lb today, got slimmer of the week again, my stone award and slimmer of the month!

Well done @FiveNightsAtMummys ! I'm 1lb down, got my half stone. Feels so slow but at least it's the right direction I guess

Maintained. Still want to lose 2lb. Upping my speed intake this week!

2lb down for me today. Pleased about that!
I need 0.5lb to my 2 stone, it’s quite elusive. I feel like I’ve been chasing the 2stone for the last few weeks. Next week!

1.5 on this week. How do you lose the last half a stone?

@Cherrypi it took me weeks. So frustrating.

Alot of my group that are close to target seem to struggle for that last 0.5lb, keep going it'll happen

Well done Tobermory.

Cherrypi and Groovee I hope you have a loss this week. It must be so frustrating but you have both done fantastically well so far. Fingers crossed the scales start moving the right way again.

I've been feeling awful all week. Really bloated and just 'off'. I had a sneaky step on the scales earlier in the week and I'd put on a couple of lbs. I'm hoping it comes back off by the weekend and I at least sts.

I need to stop eating mince pies. Sp day failed today. Makes me crave carbs.

@cherrypi, you’ve started the mince pies ? You’re a braver woman than me! I might have one on Xmas day ... don’t want to start too early or I might not stop!!!

Non scale victory for me today, I had to put a new hole in my belt! When I started Sw I had at least two or maybe three holes left... today I realised I was hatching up my jeans and the belt wasn’t doing to job so I found a screwdriver and added a new hole!

Luckily, not only don't I really like mince pies, but my lidl didn't have the Lebkuchen hearts that I like in. Unfortunately, DH brought back half a big box of chocolates from work
