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

Was a very bad blondes yesterday

full roast dinner with

proper roast potatoes in oil
yorkis in in beef drilling
mint gravy
apple caramel crumble

and lots of healthy free veg 😂😂

I know it’s one meal 1/21 but fear a gain next Fri

will be very good next few days

Sounds like you enjoyed it though! Just tried to insert an emoticon, and it won't work.

It was bloody delicious 😂😂

usually do sw pots and no yorkie or syn small plain one

so a proper one was heaven

I think, every now and then, it has to be done. 😃

Hi all. Hope people are having good weeks. Mine is up and down in terms of food. Good day today though so hoping to have some sort of a loss despite the less open-plan days from the weekend.

I'm not in a race, just happy to have things generally going in the downward direction without completely stopping all enjoyable things or turning everything down in order to lose weight. There was a food festival in town at the weekend so I had a delicious and off plan duck wrap and a cupcake. Ate too much and did nothing much yesterday, then on plan with lots of free veg and fruit today.

Same as @DrMadelineMaxwell

i know there will be blips but that’s life

Can I join in? Was fairly successful during lockdown, the ran a marathon, and continued to carb load but not run anymore *rolls eyes at self, so I have gained a stone and I already another half to lose. I then tried macros last week, and gained 3lbs 😂I clearly didn't do it right!

So on Tuesday, I started again. I'm already feeling better, but Thursday is the day I make or break my week, so need to be really careful. I've not got hte app, but have gone old school with an old book I have, and print out diary, I find that easier to manage.

Hi all 🙂

I haven't been on for a good few weeks I completely forgot my password! How is everyone doing?

I haven't really been focused on it too much and it has shown on the scales. Think last time I posted I was 2 on then the week after I lost half, the week after that I was 1.5 on then a maintain.

I went yesterday and I had lost 1 lbs. I was really pleased with that although I am now 3 lbs up on my lowest weigh in. So got a bit of catching up to do.

I go away to Whitby in 4 weeks and would like a bit more off before then because I am not going to be good optimising whilst away.

I do like the idea of the marbles for syns. How does that work?

Welcome @ShakeItOff40 🙂

May I join in? Have been referred to SW by doc for pre-diabetes. Should have started this Tuesday, but Covid household here. 3 out of 5 down with it and although symptom free didn’t want to risk spreading it. Trouble is, I shall treat this as an excuse to have several ‘ last flings’ before next Tuesday.

Oops that clearly should have said *food!

Welcome @Dahliasrule sorry to hear about the Covid. Hope everyone is doing okay.

Thanks @LeftyLou !

Oh @Dahliasrule I would do the same. I hope you manage to avoid it and everyone recovers quickly xxx

Hi all. Welcome @ShakeItOff40 and @Dahliasrule . Been for weigh in after being away. 3.5 gain, which isn't good, but has focused my mind somewhat. Have started counting properly again, and am using my marble syns jar. All used for today, but have pre-counted my bedtime 2 finger kit cat, so all is not lost.

Hello all. :)

Fast on can come back off fast again, Spongebob. Good luck for the week ahead.

I lost 1.5lb this week. That will do nicely. I went to weigh in then straight to a dance-fit class.

Good luck to all for a good week ahead.

Thank you for the welcome, Spongebob and LeftyLou. Thanks, Shakeitoff ,but the headache and occasional cough is suggesting otherwise,
good luck to everyone this week.

Welcome @ShakeItOff40 and @Dahliasrule

sorry for gain @SpongeBobJudgeyPants ans well done @DrMadelineMaxwell for loss

mine tomorow or tech today aa just gone past midnight

Ooh it's nice to have some new "members"!
Not having a good week, lunch out, though did have pizza with salad in middle BUT accompanied by glass of red, plus fruit and nut chocolate last night! Did line dancing yesterday so hope that burnt off a bit. WI on Saturday.

Gained half a pound

grateful wasn’t more

drools over proper oil roasted pots and beef dripping girlies

Ffs yorkies

Beef dripping girlies sounds interesting blondes. Wonders how synny they are

Well done @DrMadelineMaxwell @Wilma55 hopefully the line dancing will help.

@SpongeBobJudgeyPants if I find one I shall check 😂

Re the marbles - put the number of syns (marbles) you have each day into a jar then everytime you use a syn move one out of the jar and put into another container. That way you can see how many you have left for the day.

Thankyou @Carpediem15 😊 that sounds a great idea definitely going go give it a go.

@Carpediem15 I found the cheapest place for marbles was The Works, as they tend to come in very small packets, and unfortunately DD is too old to use marbles now! Chances are you can use jars, or coffee jars you have already.

Sorry @LeftyLou I should have tagged you. Coffee hasn't reached my brain yet! DH has lost 3.5.llbs at weigh in, the focker!
