Starting again for the 100th time.

[Ginnyrella]

Im doing this now and making a commitment to myself that after this week I will be back on the straight and narrow. I don’t think I’ve gained much. But I’ve been off slimming world since mid November. My clothes still fit perfectly. I just feel shite in myself. I’ve been, not over eating but picking at crisps, chocolate, cake... wine! And it’s now starting to catch up with me in terms of my mood and energy levels and I just feel utterly CRAP.
It’s my daughters birthday today so there’s no chance i can avoid being naughty today.
I don’t know why I do it to myself. I love cooking. I love veg and salads and all the things that come with slimming world I just need to get back into the routine of planning ahead! That’s my downfall I think. would any one like to share some packed lunch ideas for work? I don’t have access to a fridge or a microwave either if that helps.

Hi,

I've joined as an AIBU lurker because i'm fed up of myself. After a really horrendous few years (family loss, work has been stressful etc) I've comfort eaten myself to nearly 2 stone bigger than I was 3 years ago.

We go away in April and I want to at least feel happier as I hate how I look in Jeans and Jumpers so how will I do in summer dresses?!

I've never done slimming world before, can't afford class or app, so have downloaded a pack from pinterest, and find it quite confusing!

I'm still coming to grips, but could you have homemade soup in a thermous flask and hexb your bread?

Yes soup is a fantastic idea. Considering where I work is absolutely Baltic at the moment I think a warm soup would so quite nicely. I joined slimming world 2 years ago and lost 2.5 stone and have managed to just about maintain. I would like to shift another stone though. Once I’m in the full swing of things again Ill love it! If you need any help on syn values. I am a member and have the app so feel free to ask and I’ll look it up for you! I’m sure you will do great once youve got your head around it! X

Thank you @Ginnyrella - that's really kind!

I'm really hoping I get in the full swing, I know my main problems are BREAD BREAD BREAD (all types) and also booze. So I'm hoping this gives me a bit of balance xx

Good luck with lunches x

And me! I joined a few weeks ago for the millionth time. I’ve lost 6lb so far, just struggle to not eat alllll the cake and chocolate! Got about 5stone to lose really so a long road

Slimming world can be really frustrating because when you do lose it is little and often. But when ever you feel like giving up just know that the slower it is to come off the slower it is to get back on again. It took me a year to loose 2.5 stone but I’ve not been on plan since November and ate and drank everything I can get my hands on. I weighed today and I’ve gained 2.5lb since November!

I did good today. I had porridge oats for breakfast with a tea spoon of Nutella.

I had chicken salad with new potatoes and grilled peppers for dinner.

And for tea I’m having salmon, cous cous and the rest of my potato salad.
Day 1!

Well done!

Hello
I did slimming world a few years ago and lost a stone. I have been terrible recently, loads of chocolate, crisps and wine. My clothes are too tight.
I weighed myself today and I am at my SW starting weight.
I used to go to group but now can’t due to work. Might join online.
Help!

Hi Anna!
I (stupidly) logged out and forgot my password so I've had to make a new MN. Ooops.

Don't beat yourself up about it, we all have times falling off the wagon! Best thing to do is to get straight back on it. What do you need help with? Motivation? Getting your head back round the plan?
If it was a few years ago since youve been I suspect the plan may have changed slightly xx

I've been on plan since Thursday, although I did have some cheeky cheeky wines yesterday, but I never stuck 100% to plan on a weekend anyway and still managed to loose. Im feeling a million times better in my self and my energy levels and mood have picked up again. My skins less greasy. Makes me wonder why I even fell off plan in the first place.

Need help with motivation and getting back on plan. Guess it has changed but the old one will still work!
Today so far I’ve had a Spanish omelette cooked in fry light. It was massive (6 eggs for me and DH) so won’t be hungry until tea.
Tea is fajitas so will have chicken and veg but no wraps.
Need to do a food plan for the week and make sure I plan a nice after work snack because that’s when I always eat crisps and something sweet after tea as always crave chocolate.
I’m going to Gran Canaria at Easter so would like a few lb off before then.

Well done @Ginnyrellas this gives me motivation! Right now I flick between motivated and just can’t be bothered. But I am going to stick to it for a few weeks and see what happens, hopefully a loss will motivate me?

I’ve not synned alcohol this weekend, easing myself in, but that starts properly tomorrow! I’ve meal planned until Wednesday then will plan for the rest of the week - I’m hoping then I can see what works.

I’ve also just batch cooked 7 portions of veggie chilli, some for work this week and some for the freezer. If I can do one thing a weekend and alternate I feel like that can be better?!

@AnnaMariaDreams you’ve got this! I also am away at Easter and really want to have shifted some lbs!

Today we’ve had pancakes with banana, apples, oats, etc so hexb for the oats.

Today is a Sunday lunch so feel like this will be my downfall. But I’m generally ok with having Sunday off it’s our main family day together!

Oh I Adore chicken Fajitas!!! that actually what I took for work this week for my lunches.
Sainburys do an amazing fajita spice for £1 down the spice isle. I just cut my chicken... or beef if I'm feeling rebellious. with onions peppers and mushroom a bit of garlic and the spice and throw it all in my air fryer for 40 mins. I take it to work with salad and new potatoes with cheese and garlic sauce which I syn.

someone told me to actually make a plain omelette for a syn free replacement for a wrap which sounded like a great idea.

@BeigeFoodLover
I have honestly never synned my alcohol because I'm sure id be very ashamed of my self lol! i Figure if I eat well and move and really try through the week why the hell can't I let my hair down on a weekend. Although I do stick to "eating on plan" at the weekend.

@Ginnyrellas I must admit, I’m a tad embarrassed about how much I’ve had over the last couple of days! Even if I don’t lose weight it’s probably good for my kidney 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I had a few gins last night as we were out shopping all day celebrating DD birthday. I ate healthy all day but woke up in the night feeling absolutely horrendous. So I might go completely dry till the weekend with you @BeigeFoodLover

I’ve brought left over chicken kebab that I made with salad for my lunch today and doing meatball pasta bake for tea.
How are you? X

had a bit of a wobble this morning, yesterday I stupidly weighed myself, 3lb loss since Friday 'yay!' but had a bit of a carb heavy day, and weighed myself and I've gained 1lb back.

I KNOWWWWW this is why you don't weigh yourself every day, but it's made me grumpy. Going out for lunch with friends today, so trying very hard to be upbeat and not 'sod it'.

Figure whatever I have, i'll have a totally syn free dinner tonight.

Ohhhhhh I hear you with that one! My hubby actually removed the scales from the house cos I would weigh every morning and every night lol! it was my way of keeping myself on track but I suppose it did get a little excessive! well done on the loss though!!! How are you feeling in your self other than the weight loss? Any more energy? feeling perkier than usual?

Well...lunch did not go well. (well, it was lovely, but not sw friendly!)

Syn free tonight, and carry on!

How are you today?

Yesterday was good for me to be honest. Apart from tea time where hubby decided to cook tea. A very rare occasion for me! Not SlimmingWorld friendly at all but I suppose one bad meal out of 21 won’t hurt as long as I keep on track for the rest of the week.

💪🏼💪🏼
I weigh tomorrow so trying to just refocus and carry on. I always said I was easing in so not to find it ‘too much’ and I’ve done really well food wise, until yesterday it’s just been the booze.

Back on it today... good luck xxx

Yep back on it today! Just had a bacon mushroom pepper and onion omelette for breakfast. Was quite filling so I’ve brought some fruit for my lunch and for tea it’s jacket potato with beans

I’m hoping for a good loss this week. I’m happy I don’t feel bloated and disgusting anymore but my lord is my toilet paying for it lol

Good luck for weigh in tomorrow! Let me know how it goes! Xx

2lb loss... which I know is good, but I’m unhappy about because I saw the 3lb loss on Tuesday 🙄 so DH is putting scales away except for Fridays!

Next week will be a real test as tbh I fluctuate those 2lbs daily! But I’ve seen a change in ‘me’ as today as I’m cross I haven’t reached for chocolate, and I have picked a nice low carb filling lunch so I know I’m full, rather than cheesy pasta!! We can do this 💪🏼

@BeigeFoodLover
2lb! That’s incredible, I get that you’de be a bit cross because you saw the 3lb loss on Tuesday but as you say, you would probably of been over moon with the 2lb loss!

When ever I feel a bit shit about a loss I just think, did I enjoy everything I’ve eaten this week. If the answers yes the extra loss is just a bonus. Well done though x

Thank you @Ginnyrellas - you’re totally right and I love that outlook!

I can tell I’m changing my way of thinking as last night we had a treat, but I didn’t go totally overboard in the day or actually during the treat! Xx

How are you doing? How’s everyone doing? X
