Dry January to Decadent December: Slimming World Support Thread 2022

[GettinTrimmer]

All welcome I joined Slimming World in November and so far lost 9.5lb, a bit of a gain over Christmas but getting there - I have around 3 stone to lose and I am looking forward to fitting into clothes not worn for a long time and have a big family wedding coming up. I would like to look like the slim, glamourous Aunt in the photos (without upstaging the bride!)

A few of us had a previous thread:

Please join us for chat about all things Slimming World and general chat! We'll do this together

Hi, lost only 0.5lb but better than nothing. I am off out for lunch with friends, should be OK if I avoid the chips! Hope everyone is OK.

Half is brilliant. Its a loss and all in the right direction.

Thankyou I am of course happy with my club 10. However, I have not helped myself this weekend. Had a complete blow out. So will have to see how it goes on Wednesday. I have been good up til the weekend and from today but I don't know if I have completely messed it up. Worst time as maintain or loss in the next ten weeks is a free week.

I have been wanting fish and chips for a while now and saw a couple of recipes on the app. One is about 2.5 syns and the other is free. They use eggs to make the batter. Has anyone tried this before? Just wondering how eggs could do that.

Hi @leftylou I have done the fish in egg "batter". You whisk up the egg white till fluffy and fold in the yolk. This gives it the colour of batter. It's not bad but not like the real thing!

My fish and chips!

Hi all!

I hope you don’t mind me joining, I joined SW last week and had my first weigh in last night - I maintained!! I am on my period though so think that might have something to do with it! Disappointing for my first week but trying to stick with it and hoping that I’ll see the true loss next week

Welcome Hollie I think a maintain during time of the month is great. You will most likely see the result you wanted next week too.

Those fish and chips look lovely.

Welcome from me too @Hollie18. Do take your measurements too, it's really good to re take them further along your journey if you have a no loss week. Sometimes a good (or bad) week takes an extra week to catch up so with any luck you will have a good loss next week. ☘

A maintain this week. Think I got lucky there. Really want a good loss next week so thinking of doing a "week one" plan as best I can and write everything down.

I am likely going out for a meal this weekend so that could be a cause for concern but should be okay for the rest of the week.

Been looking through and when I started I lost for 7 consecutive weeks so I aim to get that again.

Hi team. I'm really amazed to say I lost 5lbs this week 😊😊.. I'm now officially a target member. I've got another stone to reach for my own personal goal but I'm so happy. I never stay for class but the class consultant told everyone and I got a huge round of applause. Feel so proud :)
Good luck everyone for your weigh u
Ins xx

@Pebbledashery that is bloody brilliant!

Thank you @leftylou I can't bloody believe it 😝

Well done @Pebbledashery that's fantastic news!

Treated myself to a Turkish tonight for hitting target. Its funny as I had one last week and I lost 5lbs. The extra syns must speed up weight loss in a wharped way

I seem to be in self sabotage mode. Had visitors last weekend and since then can't leave cake, chocolate, wine etc alone. Weigh in tomorrow if not too cold and snowy. Might give me a reality check but out for curry tomorrow so will have to do my best. Why do I do it!?

WI this morning, half a pound on taking me to 2 over target which I reached on 12 Feb. Must nip my bad habits in the bud!

Trying to get back in the groove, missed weigh in today as very busy looking after DM while she is very poorly.

Not planning but hoping after tomorrow when things have calmed down that I will get back to it. Don't want to gain the weight back.

So I didn't fancy potatoes for lunch today so I bought a slimming world lasagne today from Iceland. Its absolutely delicious....
Small fortune but nice treat.
Highly recommended.

Where as I thought it was rank and watery 😂

But like their

banquet rice

Chicken tomarto risotto

Prawn linguine

Steak and carrot swede mash

I might go to Iceland next week and get some sw meals

Annoying they only sell in Iceland

That reminds me a couple weeks a go at group a lady was asked what her fave meal was that week and she said she loved the SW chicken tikka curry which I thought was awful. I do love the burgers though haha.

2 lbs off yesterday. Not too shabby and 1.5 stone award. Also got slimmer of the week with 3 or 4 others.

My goal is to lose at least 0.5 lbs for the next 7 weeks. Which may prove a challenge as we plan to move in the next few weeks and then have the renovations and decorating to do.

Well done LeftyLou

I have not been following Slimming World for around 2 weeks. Couldn't focus - my DM is in hospital. I've had alcohol and chocolate and fully expect a gain. Will be starting again after weigh in tomorrow to get back on track.

I've had the Iceland curry sauce and veggie curry. Didn't like the mushy pea curry though.

Hope your mum will be ok @leftylou. I've just eaten a bar of nut chocolate and have no excuse.

I liked the Iceland Korean beef but not the Keema cottage pie. It takes all sorts!

Hi hope everyone is OK

I weighed in first time in 2 weeks and lost 0.5lb somehow. Back to it, but going out for dinner tonight and had chocolate earlier! Tomorrow's another day....

I will probably pop into Iceland tomorrow and pick up some ready meals, a few look rather nice, veggie curry type things.

If I lose next week that will see me in the next stone bracket in the right direction!

First week as a target member and I put on half a pound 🤣🤣

Hi everyone. Can I join? Signed up on Thursday as I am now almost 5 STONE heavier since having my 2 kids the last few years. So embarrassing. I'm hoping I can find some willpower finally and make a start on getting lots of it off. Any tips appreciated :)
