Hi guys. Mind if I join you?
I went back last week. First weigh in tomorrow and nervous. I’m not sure why Iv done this many times before. This time Iv stuck to it. Hoping for at least 5lbs off 😄

Off out for lunch today, was better than the chippy dinner that was originally planned. Trying to decide off the menu now what will be healthier. Keen to try and stick as much to plan this week as I can.

Saturday might be difficult though. We are going to clear out DPs mums house, over 2 hours away. If you any of you have ideas for what we can take in the car to eat would be great. Want to avoid the garage meal deals if I can. We won't have any facilities at the house for heating anything up etc.

I like a cold pasta salad, sauce made to taste with some peppers, onions and bacon 'fried' off and added, a pot of cucumber and plum tomatoes and a couple of hifi bars if I've not used my b choice for breakfast.

week 1 i lost 6lbs if only every week was like that 😂

@mickandrorty thanks. What sauce do you normally make?

I like a tin of tomatoes with some paprika, garlic and chilli left to simmer down or add tomato puree if I'm short of time, cook the pasta at the same time run the pasta under cold water and chuck it in.

@Saladd0dger great name BTW. Welcome 😀

@pharmacoco @mickandrorty great losses. Well done 🙂

Welcome @Saladd0dger good luck with your weigh in today

@CountryCatLady If you're up for using your HEX B I like a sandwich, or cous cous salad, boiled eggs and fruit? Good luck with clearing the house, we had to do that for my Mum, more recently also her flat.

@mickandrorty great loss. I did 4.5lb, but it was first one after Christmas excess.

@SpongeBobJudgeyPants hope you're doing OK?

It's my long day at work, normally goes badly wrong, but I am very well prepped today.

Good luck to those weighing in today and well done on the losses to the guys who have had them so far, brilliant news!

My scales are really pissing me off, I should stop weighing in daily. First proper weigh in is Monday, but I’m feeling a bit woe is me.

good luck to everyone with weigh in today, I managed a loss of 2lb, but i had an awful headache yesterday, which ment i didnt eat past lunch so will have to be mindful this week. I had set myself a 1st stone goal for my birthday which is on weigh in day next week and need half a pound to gain that. I find mini goals in my head work best. would like the next stone for easter, but am one of those slow plodding people! how is everyone finding things? any favourite meals?

Well I managed a 5lb loss. Wasn’t expecting that much as I woke up all bloated. But super happy. Thursday is my sit down and meal plan for the week ahead day. Will look through this thread for some inspiration. Good luck everyone weighing this week

Thanks for the ideas. I'm thinking a sandwich plus some pasta salad packed with veggies and some fruit to pick at. Need to make sure we aren't hungry on the way home too, otherwise McDonalds will be calling its siren song 🤣

Well done to those that weigh in today and lost. My weigh in day isn't until Friday, but jumped on this morning and lost 1.5lb.

Been thinking about setting mini goals too @pappajonessecretchild how far apart do you make yours? I think rather than just saying i want to lose x, I would be better saying to myself something like, I will lose 4lb by the end of the month...

First weigh in today and I lost 6lb!i was shocked.. Thinking maybe 2 or 3!

well done everyone, so good loses there! especially in these dark cold days.
@CountryCatLady yes, i like to think 4lb a month, anything else is a bonus. if we all lost a pound a week, it would be nearly 4 stone, so those little pounds add up.
over all, i need to loose 4 to 5 stone, realistically I would be really pleased to loose 3 and maintain. that would put me in the single stones. (I am a shortarse so this still wont be in the healthy range but very near it!)
its my day off work today. I find it better to eat my main meal at lunch time but that doesnt fit into normal life.

I find with SW I don't show a loss until the day before weigh day so I don't bother weighing myself until then really. I go up sometimes during the week then have a loss. I used to be a daily weather but I've stopped now as it was pissing me off to and I'd go off plan (although I have gained this week, but know why and am fine with it)

A gain of 2lb for me this week but I'm still below my pre Christmas weight and I know why I've gained - skinful of gin, takeaway x2, Ferrero rocher and Tunnocks Tea Cakes (which come in at a surprisingly low 5 syns!)

Deffo on it now though, 3 weeks until I'm a god mother so would like to try and shift a bit by then!

2lb off, quite disheartening as was hoping for a good first week loss. Pledging on though.

Well done on everyone's losses so far this week

I only lost 2lbs the first week but have continued to lose 2 or more every week,so keep at it! I think sometimes people who drink and suddenly stop lose more the first week than those who don't.

Could I join please? I started SW 3 years ago, lost 2 stone. Moved house so had to swap groups. One two skip a few I gave it up because I couldn't find a group/leader Iiked. Had a baby and lost most of the weight through CC but wanted to get back to Sw, found a Saturday group round the corner from me.

Lost 7lb in the couple of months ive been back- I average -1lb a week.

Put it all back on over Xmas but lost 3.5lb last week!

Since having the baby though, I'm happy with what the scales say but not how I look? I'm at one of my lowest weights but I look at one of my heaviest? Has anyone been through similar? I'm exercising more but currently had flu/tonsillitis so not able too. Although I'm not eating either so balances out I guess

First week I put on 1lb and was mortified. Thought I had done everything right but obviously not. 3.5lbs away from target now. 😄

First week and 3lb loss which I'm OK with. Stuck to plan fairly well. Did have some Slimming World meals from Iceland as I live on my own they're useful and I like most of them. Made a great sausage casserole with their sausages.

Three pound off today totalling 27 pound in 7 weigh ins. Happy and proud and avoiding the chocolate cake this evening that I had got for my children!

I've lost 4 pounds so far , 10 more to go . Steady and slow for the warmer months .

Well done everyone 💐😊

1 lbs off for me this week. Happy with that.
