Anyone started slimming world this past week and want to be my weightloss buddy??

[daniwalkes]

I started slimming world this past thursday (9th feb) im very overweight and was slightly horrified that i was the weight i was... i have two boys, 3 and 20months, and after second ds i lost loads of weight, starting at 19stone 3lbs i lost just under 4 stone and was feeling really good about myself, i then stopped going and had an awful year of ups and downs (something for another thread!) and piled it all back on.
Im mortified that i let it happen after working so hard to get it off!
This time round through im really determind to get the weight off, im getting married in August and i have bought a beautiful dress (monsoon) size 14 though so i NEED to start working towards it.

Some facts:
Age: 25 (26 in 3 weeks!)
Hight: 5ft 5"
Weight: 19stone 2lbs (sob)
Chest: 47"
waist: 43"
hips: 57"
Size: 20 (although im probably more, i just squeeze into my old clothes or don't do the buttons up!)

if there is anyone out there who is of a similar size and wants to have a friend who they can be really open, honest and support then i'm here!
It's so much easier when you have someone to talk to. i'm too embarrassed to tell my friends / family how big i am (although i know they can see it!) so i just hope im not alone in this! :)

How much ice cream am I allowed? I haven't had any syns today!!

Not sure,I know when I checked a magnum was about 15!

After my weekend away, and the fact dh was late I didn't go and get weighed this week
Back of track now, even turned down offer of chocolate brownies today
Highly recommend buying a few sw cook books especially the curry one yum

Thanks Billy will give that a go.

Haven't had too bad a week food wise but have been slipping on my syns mainly due to stress - have had a funeral to attend, DS was in hospital for surgery and DD had to go for an MRI scan. Am now getting ready to go away for the night with DH (a very rare event) and know that SW is going to go out of the window tonight if not with food syns then with wine syns. Hey ho not expecting miracles at weigh in on Monday

Have a good weekend everyone!

Hello all. Hope the weight losses are going well.

I weighed in for the first time on Thursday night at 14 stone and half a pound . I am following red days as I find them much easier ( I am old school).

Yesterday I had

Breakfast: Weetabix, Milk (HEA), Stawberries
Snack: Satsuma
Lunch: Tuna Salad sandwich (HEB), banana, yoghurt (2 syns)
Snack: Alpen light (3 syns) Cheese nibbles (HEA)
Dinner: Chicken dipped in cous cous (3 syns), carrots, broccoli.

Today

Breakfast: Weetabix, Milk (HEA), Chopped apple
Lunch: Bacon & poached egg on toast (HEB), banana & grapes
Dinner (will be): Slimming World Beef Wellington (6 syns), jelly & youghurt with crumbled alpen light (5 1/2 syns)

With lots and lots of sugar free squash and a little diet coke along the way!

hi everyone just weighed in 1.5lbs off im delighted cos i had lots of things going on over wkend and didnt think i'd lose anything so that 1st4.5lbs so far so i'll get back on track this wk and hopefully get more off nxt wk!

Hi all im joining slimming world tomarrow ,i need to loose a stone.I would like to join your group .Also if any of you have facebook add diet momma its for all slimming world people to swap recipes and support its really good.

Weigh in day and 0.5lbs off. Was really pleased that I had lost anything as had a weekend away and food in the hotel was fabulous. I now have my SW magazine so am off to try some new curry recipes along with the scan bran cake recipe that everyone in my group keeps raving about. Have also discovered Mullerlight mint yoghurt with dark chocolate which I found out today was syn free so hopefully that will keep me on track this week. Have also the added incentive that if I lose next week (more than today!) then I am going to treat myself to something nice to wear

Gah I think I have spectacularly lost it this week. Not because I have majorly eaten loads but I feel mega bloated and have put on weight because it is time of the month. I just feel really disappointed. I am going away for a few days as well and I keep thinking that I have a few days of not dieting - which is not good as I will probably go mental. I need to settle down a little I think!

Weighed in today and lost 1lb. Was hoping for more as have been very careful, but I remember from past exeperience SW can often work a week behind. Am on hols next week but am determined to stick to plan, I may even go to a meeting as only going to Devon. Does that make me a saddo?

another 3.5lb off today
total of 18.5lb off in 8 weeks :)

Well done BIlly and lisa. I weighed in tonight and only lost a pound this week even though ive been very careful. But its still 5 and a half pounds in a fortnight so i cant complain.
Im dreading Saturday though. Nieces birthday (well closest weekend to it) and therell be birthday cake Aaargh.

Been on it three weeks now - have lost 11lb!!
I'm getting used to it now - Activia 0% yoghurts have been my friend and comforter. :)

Very well done Cambridge

Last Saturday i went to my mums for my nieces birthday and refused ALL offers of bread (sandwiches) sausage rolls,Pringles,biscuits and birthday cake.
I sat there and ate a strawberry Mullerlight yoghurt.
I go in to be weighed last night and have put ON a pound.
I was seriously pissed off and i didnt hide it either. Ive done exactly the same as ive done in previous weeks where i lost 4 and a half pounds the first week and 1 and half the second. I just dont get it. Next time i will be having the fucking cake. If im gonna put on i might as well get some pleasure out of it.
