Please join me on my SW journey!

[kkey21]

Hi all. I am today starting the SW plan extra easy. I would like to loose 1 stone initially then we will see.

I have been since January eating sensibly, using the food focus website and going to the gym/zumba/shredding minimum of 4 times per week and i have managed to loose 9lb in this period (my heaviest weight was in December)

Here are my stats, i will update them every Monday.
Height-5ft 6inches (well 5ft 5.5inches!)
Weight-11st 11lb (on Saturday)
Bust 36
Waist 30
Hips 37
thighs 24

Please help me along the way to actually do it and stick with it. I am not going to class but have a friend who does and i have also been too a few before myself. I weighed 10.7 last May and would love to get back there again (gained weight steadily July-Dec but actually found out i had been pregnant in Dec...when i started to miscarry-the pregnancy was quite far along. So some of it was pregancy not just overeating)

Anyone who wishes to join please do or any tips would be fab aswell!

Thank You..

Ok-i'll journey alone-thanks!

I will join you. Have been 'doing' slimming world for a while. but have not properly followed it.I am good for a few days and then have crap food days. So maybe some support would be nice

I would like to get rid of 1.5 stone of possible. Don't have to as I am not overweight but I am not happy with my weight at all and felt prettier and healthier with less weight.

Today is my third day of shredding by the way.

Hi Gilmore-glad someone is joining me! felt all alone then!

I got up to day 23 on shred before joining the gym. I have lost 17" in total but only lost 4lb in weight on the shred.

Today has been alright as far as sw goes so hoping it continues! I too would ideally love 1.5stone. Lets see what we can do...x

Wow, your inch loss sounds great. Well done you. I only managed to measure myself today. Will give you the measurements later.

I usually measure in kilos but just converted it and I think I am 10.9 stone.

Today was my weigh in (lost 900 gram since joining SW, like I said, not following it properly). So it's a good time for a new start with some extra support

God! You two have bugger all to lose I went to SW today to get started on EE myself - i have (deep breath) 5.5 stones to lose so a bit more than you guys but can i join you as i need some diet buddys.

I wont say my weight but i have lost the best part of a stone and a half over the last 8 months so its better than it was but today is the first day and im doing ok so far.

Ive tried WW ect but i just cant seem to stick to it - im really hoping that with some support i can this time - today is a good day so far :)

Not doing the gym thing for at least 2 or 3 stone as my joints arent that great but i am hoping that the more weight i lose the more motivated i will be to start exercising too.

Welcome Rosie!
I know it's not much to lose but it feels like a lot to me somehow. I am well impressed with you already having lost 1.5 stone already. That's great!

I tried Weight Watchers but was always very hungry and still didn't lose weight. So it's slimming world now.

I just actually have to make myself stick to it!

Yeah me too - i did really well until 8pm - i only had 9 syns and really reigned it in today ... then i clapped eyes on a strawberry toffee bon bon packet (only had one sweet though!) and a caramac ice cream (was delish) so i reckon thats about another 7 syns which isnt the end of the world - if i was on 15 ive only gone over by one.

I did the slimming world spag bol tonight and i couldnt eat it all, a few drops of tabasco made it very nice indeed :) What did you lovely ladies have for dinner (i need some inspiration!)

I was out all day so didn't have dinner...Now I am getting hungry. Not sure what I'll have now. I did have pasta with home made tomato sauce for lunch though.

Why didn't you like the bolognese all that much at first? I don't really follow their recipe for it, just improvise with mince and veggies.

I really like their chicken cacciatore, three bean chilli, potato and spinach bake just to name a few. I often just alter their stuff though to my taste.

I love risottos. Ham and leek for example. Or this week I had leftover chicken from a roast so used some chicken in it.

Welcome Rosie! Glad you've joined us on here. Well done on your weight loss-you can do the rest with us here with you. After giving birth to my first baby I weighed 14.10 (was 16.2 with him inside) and I got back to 11 within 2 years, then to concieve my 2nd! And I lost all my weight in about 21mths.

Had a good day today-had a sweet potato jacket tonight with cottage cheese and a big salad-was 'licious (as my 2yr old would say!) I love, love, love risotto-one of my fav meals with shredded roast chicken...

I have double zumba-d tonight so now about to catch up on one born every minute.

Catch up tommoro! X

Day 2 sucessful so far, realised my portion control for my cereal was silly and have changed my usual crackers/cheese or more cereal for a soup.
I am having 'treats' within my syn value so fingers crossed...

Well day 4 down and 'ok' so far although finding it not very different to my usual diet so quite honestly not expecting miracles! I have done two zumba sessions and a body pump session since Monday.

Will weigh in on saturday.

How did your weigh in go? I had a crazy week and basically lived of crappy food, including biscuits. My weigh in is tomorrow but it's my birthday and I am not sure I want to start the day with realising I put in weight :(

Hi-sorry for lack of updates, been using internet form my iphone and its such an effort to find a post!

I ended up 2 weeks ago joining a s/w group. I weighed in at 12st-1lb (at night time i may add!) Two weeks in i am 5.5lb down so 11.9 and half at night time i may add again!

I found out my cereal portion sizes were silly so gave up cereal altogether!

Hopefully on a roll now!

I hope you had a lovely birthday Gilmore :-)
