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

Sorry Saturday was 30th April.

How are you feeling @Carpediem15? It is so frustrating a gain when you have done so well. Hopefully your consultant can pinpoint anything.

Thanks for asking LeftyLou - I have done the same as last week and pretended it did not happen. Re-read all the info and been through the SW site, planned the meals until Saturday so can't do any more. Will see what happens.
I have kept off my scales as I didn't want to get any false hopes for Saturday. I have found someone on youtube who has lost 8 stone and still does the plan and posts most days so taking advice from her. 😊

I am glad you are feeling better about it 😊 I think you will see a great loss this week!

It was half on for me this week. I am okay with that. My plan didn't quite go to plan and with it been Bank Holiday I wasn't as focused on it as much as I envisaged I would be.

I am out for a meal tomorrow but I feel positive for the week ahead.

I had a crazy couple of weeks. Last week I put on 3lbs...was so upset. This week I lost 7lbs! Can't work out what's going on 😂

That's amazing @Pebbledashery 😄
A lady at my group was gaining a few weeks so she decided to do a week "one" and came back and lost 9.5 another lady lost 13.5.

LeftyLou - I have paid for 6 weeks so am going to do it for that time at least. 😀Enjoy your meal.
What is going back to week "one" ?

2lbs off so happy with that. 😁hope it carries on like that.

I weighed in today and after my 3.5 lb gain...I lost 1lb!! Going in right direction, but we're off out to Pizza Express this evening. It is weigh in day though!

@Carpediem15 great news on your 2lbs loss.

Someone who has been on sw for a while may stop weighing healthy extras or counting syns therefor not getting the results they want and then go back to how they did the first week they started and then getting a good result. Sorry I don't think I really explained myself very well there.

1 lbs off is great @GettinTrimmer I hope you enjoyed pizza express. I am weighing in tomorrow. I am not sure what to think. I had a meal out and a mcdonalds at the weekend. Have been good either side of that and done some walking. I never know what to think though. To be honest I'm a little bored I need to change things up a little bit. I also find myself with not much to have for lunch (work from home) other than salad and then starving later on and then eating crisps and chocolate and white bread. Oh my!

Thank you for the explaination, I know what you mean as I used to guess calories after a while.
I bought a bag of 8 frozen jackets just incase I struggled for lunch but it does seem rather a lot to me to have it with cheesy beans and salad so have looked it up loads of times to make sure. 😃Some kind of pastryless quiche seems to be the favourite at the moment.

Good Luck with weigh in.

It was a half on again. Not the worst but it all adds up. I am going to have to go back to basics!

Hi all, I am getting there I hope, LeftyLou you and me back to basics. I had a coffee and rice crispy cake in Costas and will have to guess the syns - will be loads. Changing things up is a good idea, tomorrow I'll save HExB for lunch, a sandwich and big salad, omelette for breakfast and curry for dinner. Going out for a walk after dinner. It's hard keeping the momentum going.

Have a night out tomorrow - will involve alcohol, plain gin and slimline tonic for me.

I maintained this week. Just had a Turkish takeaway and some mini eggs 😂

Morning all, I have somehow lost 1lb, very pleased.

Pebbledashery what did you have for your Turkish takeaway?

Morning - 2lbs off for me today, 💃

Well done on the losses 😀

It was a maintain for me this week. I am determined for a loss this week 💪

Been back from holiday about 2 weeks, 5 weeks since weighed in. Looked for recipe on SW app and got a reminder about needing to weigh at group at least every 8 weeks.... Got on the scales and have put on 4lb. Was already 1 over target so got some work to do, starting tomorrow. Cut back on alcohol and snacks and put food on the app should help.

Good to see a few familiar names on here.

Plucked up courage and went to meeting this morning........only to find its been cancelled as the caretaker didn't open up on time!

Hi All. Haven't been here for ages. Wilma, that's really frustrating after making the effort. I'm currently 3llbs away from my 3 stone loss award.

Going to weigh in this morning. Hope you soon get your 3lb off @SpongeBobJudgeyPants

Thanks Wilma. Hope weigh in goes ok this morning. Hope everyone else is ok?

It's very quiet on here isn't it?

Went to WI and am 4 over target (3 on since holiday) so must lose a pound before next week. The app keeps reminding me to enter card number and pin as haven't weighed for a while. Can't find my PIN think it was in my old book and I didn't carry it over when we were given the new ones! Am hoping consultant can help. Luckily can still use app.

Might be worth making a note of it if you haven't already.

Hi all, yes I've not posted for a while and went the wrong way - 4lb on all in all and I was looking forward to getting into the next stone bracket down. 2lb on this week. A lot going on getting DM settled into a care home, teenagers etc. Starting uni visits soon - yikes.

Just paid for another 12 weeks and have to get back on track.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants good to see you and 3lb to go for 3 stone award is brilliant! How is your group?

Wilma55 I will be happy with 1lb per week for 12 weeks, hoping we both get that, but 2lb losing gain from last week for me would be fab.
