Support Thread #1 for 2019

[Groovee]

Starting the 2019 support thread for those on SW or those thinking of starting.

Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Groovee. In 2016 I was told to lose weight so I could have Gynae surgery. I joined SW in Jan 2017. Have lost 4.5st on SW 5.5st since 2016. Have been at target for 9 months now. Long may it continue being at target and staying there.

Have my new members pack and look forward to the challenges of 2019. I need to look for some new recipes.

You've done so well Groovee.

I've lost 1lb this week. Having an operation next week (gall bladder removed) so won't be entirely on plan for 2/3 weeks while I recover. Will pop in when I'm back on it, good luck everyone.

Good luck @ALemonyPea I had mine out 8 years ago. So much better quality of life too.

Well done ALemonyPea and good luck!

An on-plan day here, just had the pork and lemon meatballs with pasta, lovely

Well done Alemony and good look with the op!

Best of luck Lemony. I have gallbladder problems too, so I'm sure you'll be relieved. Doctor prefers not to take mine out yet, though,

Sorry to be so unsupportive people; I'm not doing fantastically well at the moment so staying away temporarily, so not to discourage.

Ah @Imperfectsusan we all have those moments... post and we can try to help x

I lost 4lbs this week and got my club 10 and 2 stone and slimmer of the week so I’m over the moon. Feel a bit of a fraud as I had a stomach bug for a few days so that definitely made the loss higher than it would have been

Well done @MamaFlintstone

So after allotting myself a few off plan weeks. I am properly back on plan from today.

Ive stocked up on my sw food and I am ready for 15 weeks of being on plan.

Just saying hello again really 😂

X

1lb off this week. Definitely seem to be back on track!

Might be a difficult week this week though as I have a few days away

Well done to losers!

Well done stranger and lemony.

Well done mama, especially on your awards. I've got a bit of a dicky tummy myself this week so maybe that will help on Tuesday!!

I gained 2 this week which was totally unexpected! Thought I might have lost 1 or 1.5!
Can’t think why other than feeling a bit constipated 😬
Trying a real back to basics virtually syn free week - going ok so far

Good luck Jace! Should be setting yourself up for a great loss this week.

Well done Lemony and stranger. Hope you feel better soon, OwlinaTree. I’ve had a dicky tummy too but in my case I think it was brought on by too much cake, which was a salutary lesson. Back on plan and trying to save this week!

I had a suprise gain a few weeks ago Jace it worked itself out tho as I lost 3.5lb week after. Not using syns doesn't help me personally, I tend to have better losses if I use some.

Weigh day for me tomorrow. I just need 1lb for my 3 stone award. I haven't washed my hair like usual trying to not worry that my hair will weigh me down. That's rediculas isn't it. That's me tho.

It was my birthday this weekend and I totally overdid the carbs and cake. I felt so grim in the morning! Only 8 weeks and I’ve destroyed my ability to scarf down garlic bread and pizza.

Hope everyone has good losses this week

Bad luck Jace, that was me two weeks ago. Really hoping for a loss tomorrow!

My weigh in is tomorrow too
Good luck everyone and thank you for your support

Weighed in for the first time( of this attempt 😂) last night.

Lunch - 'cheese' and quorn sandwich (A+B)

Currently cooking up a pot of bosh veggie chilli which has kidney beans, butterbeans, peppers, onions, tinned toms and a base veggie mix plus loads of spices. Its my new fave recipe and 0.25 syns a portion (would be free but I only have balsamic glaze)

I really want at least a 3lb loss this week as the sooner I'm back in the 11st bracket the better.

3lb off, my 3 stone award and slimmer of the week! Less than 13lb to target, can't believe it's so close! I never thought I'd be here, so happy! Bmi is now 25.7 I know it's .7 but I dont care it's 25 which is healthy!

Omg well done @FiveNights

My bosh vegan chilli was sooo good. I love that recipe 🤩

L- sandwich (a+b)
T- bosh chilli (?0.5-1)
S - pepsi max cherry, clementines, braeburns

Finishing eating for today on less than 1 syn, going to co-op for some fizzy flavoured water

Well done @FiveNightsAtMummys

I've hurt my back and when I hurt my back I have a gain. And I've gained half a pound. It's usually my muscles protecting themselves.

Well done fivenights, that's great. 2lb off for me so pleased with that. 1.5lb need to get back to target, hope I'll manage that next week.

Hope your back feels better soon groovee.
