Day 1 back on it, losing the lockdown weight

[mummyof4kids]

Hi everyone.
I did slimming world before and lost nearly 2 stone, I felt and looked so much better. Fast forward to now and I've put it all back on and more so I've decided I'm going back to it.
Today is day 1 for me, would love some weight loss buddies along the way 😃

I'm in, similar boat to you OP, three kids and lockdown and I'm officially obese :(
Would love to lose two stone but happy with one for now. I started last Monday and feel better already. My scales at home seem to be temperamental so I'm popping to Boots once a week/fortnight to get a printout from their scales. Want to lose some weight first then start on improving fitness.
Also have a wardrobe full of lovely clothes that would look so much better if my arse wasn't so big and my tummy didn't make me look like i had a jumper tied around it
Good look to you!

Me too! Signed up online last night.
I have about 2 stone to lose, I lost a stone a few years ago on slimming world and stopped going to meetings when I should have kept it going.
Trying to refamiliarise myself with all the ways and have the pinch of nom cook book out for tonight!

I'd love to lose 2 stone too. I weighed myself this morning and I'm 11lb 13 that's the biggest I've been, I'd love to get down to 9lb 10.
With the nice weather we're having salad for tea so that will help to get the speed foods in

Good luck! Hoping by posting on here will hopefully help the motivation

@Villamaria me too! I'll keep checking in

Hey!
How's today going? I'm doing ok today so far, just been to Asda, I'm doing Cajun dirty rice for tea tonight. Can't wait

Had that last night did the creamy garlic chicken tonight, both went down well with all the family

Please can I join you? I’m signing up on Tuesday. Need to lose about 1.5 stone and just want to feel good and fit into all my summer clothes.

Me too, lost 3 stone and was almost at my target weight this time last year

Now I've put half of it back on. I keep trying and restarting but getting nowhere, even paid for SW the whole time!

Let's do this!!!

How’s everyone doing? I joined tonight - paid for a 6 week countdown to make sure I stick with it! Just sitting down to do my online food shop tonight, so need some meal inspiration!

Doing ok, my weigh day is a Thursday but hopeful of a loss this week as had a better weekend in comparison to others!!

How you feeling today?

Fridge is all stocked now with healthy food! Felt slightly depressed looking through the slimming world magazine last night where all the meals look rather dry! Think I’m going to try and use more of my syns on meals rather than treats, so I can cook with oil, and more normal healthy ingredients. Really determined to stick with it - my summer shorts are in my head as a goal.

We have quite a few curries as know what you mean

They have so many recipes you'll be fine 😊

Hope yous don't mind me joining!

Joined two weeks ago, lost 2lbs then put it on as I went off plan and just binge ate 😩

3 months postpartum and really want to lose this baby weight

11stones 13lbs 5'7 - heaviest I've been.

@Mia22221 I’m the same weight as you but shorter! Don’t beat yourself up about finding it hard at 3 months postpartum- that’s still early days! Hope you have a better week.

Hope everyone doing well! I am down 3 lb over two weeks, not massive loss but if I can keep losing 1lb a week I will be happy 😊

@Bubble77bee

Hi!! Thank you so much for the warm welcome 💗

I'm on week 3 now and weigh in is on Tuesday eeep!

I cheated abit yesterday and had abit of cake I made for my bro in law as he got engaged but been on plan otherwise

I weigh in on Tuesdays too.
@Villamaria - that’s great, well done! I’ve got 13 weeks til my holiday so I’m using that as my goal. If I can average 1.5lb per week I’d be very happy.

I’m in need of some cooking inspiration for dinner tonight using leftover roast chicken.

I lost 4.5lbs!! Really chuffed! Going to aim for 2lb this week - now off to make a cup of tea and eat the cupcake I’ve been looking forward to all day!

Awh well done! A well earned cupcake 😊

Jumping on!! Currently the heaviest i have ever been (and that includes 9 months pregnant hahahaaaaaaaa).

is what it is - far too much wine and Chinese over lockdown.
First lockdown, when i thought i was fat originally - i lost a stone. Then i put it back on over the summer eating out to help out and am a stone heavier that i was back in March 2020 LOL.

Back on it properly today - so far eaten 2 weetabix and had to eat on the go for lunch so grabbed a small salad from morrisons which was mainy tuna pasta. Prob some syns in there from the mayo etc so going to have to go syn free for dinner.

Anyone got some wonderful totally free dinners to share? This week i want to smash out a nice 5lb loss.

Thanks ladies

Welcome @doris88
I’m making low syn meals at the moment - I still use syns on a little bit of olive oil.
Tonight we’re having risotto with roasted cherry tomatoes and leftover roast chicken.
The lamb byriani recipe from gousto is very nice. I buy 10% fat lamb mince which is fairly low sun and I use less than the recipe suggests.
I made a pepperoni pizza pasta bake last week which was delicious.
Or baked fish, new potatoes and veg?

Good luck with your first week. I’ve lost 6.5lbs in 2 weeks. Not expecting a big loss at weigh in tomorrow but I’m heading in the right direction and feeling better about myself.

I bought 5% fat beef burgers from M&S which were great - used my HEB for a whole meal roll to go with it.
A roast chicken with new potatoes and nice veg?
I think there is a syn free hunters chicken recipe probably.
Jacket potato, beans and cheese for an easy meal?

I'm doing the Cajun chicken pasta tonight but not sure of its syn value 🥴

@Bubble77bee well done that's an amazing loss! Hopefully I can achieve the same.

I'm 12.6 and 5ft4 I've always been 10.8 and comfortable size 12 so not a huge way to go. Seems to be soooo hard tho! Can't get back into 11 atm so if I can do that in first 2 weeks (seems to be when the loss is most) I'd be over the moon
