Can I join you Slimming Worldies please, I'm joining my local class tonight.

I've lost weight before (3 stone) without a class but older and a dd to boot and I cant get myself into gear! I'm a newbie to SW.

Need to lose around 3 stone again, it's my aim to get it off this year but really really really want to shift a stone in the next 7 weeks for holidays!

DD starts school in September and I dont want her to have a fat Mummy waiting at the school gates. Grin

03angels · 18/04/2012 09:36

Thanks blondes- sorry to hear that - u def have a valid excuse if u have put on - but u may be surprised Smile
Welcome flatcap Iv tried other groups before and never lost more often than not I gained- but I'm enjoying sw- think its because nothing's off limits and I'm never hungry Iv also lost 9 1/2 pounds officially in 4 weeks but my scales show 12 1/2- either way I'm losing steadily Grin good luck and remember we are always here lose, gain or maintain Grin

jeansforever · 18/04/2012 13:37

Blondes i'm sure you will be fine , you may stay the same like i did last week after my chocolate frenzy!!
I'm sorry to hear your news but don't be too hard on yourself what ever happens on friday .
I've been so good this week but started my period today and now feel like a fat bloated mess , i've not eaten anything bad but don't know if i will be heavier?
Hi Flatcap - slimming world is good i've usually just gone on my own when i needed to loose a bit of weight but i'm finding this good although same as angels with the scales showing more but i've been steadily loosing.

I love it blondes....thinking of name changing to fatcap Grin.

You have my pardon for slipping off the wagon on the anniversary of losing your DH and a big hug too. Smile

Bloody nora, just checked and my local group was last night not tonight. I will have to do it alone for a week but have weighed myself this morning and will do so again on Tuesday before my sign up.

FlatCapAndAWhippet · 18/04/2012 15:06

hello to angels and jeans, hope I get along as well as you guys with SW. Fingers crossed and thanks for the advice.

carernotasaint · 18/04/2012 22:24

Well i have some interesting news. I did as planned and got weighed at the doctors surgery today and at the slimming world class tonight wearing exactly the same clothes and there was a difference of nine pounds!
The nurse who weighed me said that once a fortnight is often enough to be weighed so im booked in to be weighed there on the 2nd May and 16th May and continuing it fortnightly. SW have me at 15 stone 11and half a pound (they say i gained half a pound this week) and the surgery has me at 15 stone 2.

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/04/2012 01:20

9 lb difference???????????

normally 3 lbs diff if weigh am and eve but 9lbs??????????????/

thats weird

muffintop · 19/04/2012 11:40

Hi I have been doing sw for 6 weeks and have lost 10lbs in that time - I am happy with that but at little miffed because in the last 2 weeks have only lost 1 - 1/2 last week and 1/2 this week - generally do red or green as not good with portion sizes - is there anything I can do to speed up weight loss a little as feel a bit deflated even though have lost 10lbs and am following the diet - generally have 1 a choice which is milk - 2 b choices either cereal or porridge and hi fi bar - eat plenty of fruit and veggies and not eating any bread which I really love and miss. Any tips please thanx Grin

03angels · 19/04/2012 14:55

Wow cater that's a BIG difference Iv always been 3-5lbs diff!! I would see how you go nd if poss get weighed on same day from both!
Hi muffintop I have never done anything except extra easy so I'm not sure if I could offer any advice hun- sometimes it slows down if your nearing your target or didn't really have much to lose?? Smile

muffintop · 19/04/2012 15:52

Sadly not near target and a couple of stone to lose just trying to see if there is anything else I can do to speed it up!

jeansforever · 19/04/2012 19:59

Wow carer that's a huge difference!! I lost 1 lb this week and i'm happy with that as i'm on my period and do feel a bit bloated so hopefully i may loose a bit more next week.
Muffintop- They do say that you only loose lots at the beginning of a diet then it settles down and you shouldn't loose any more than 2 lbs a week if it's to stay off so your doing well , slow and steady is the way to go.

I got asked at class last night if any item of food had "crept in there" so i told her yes ......vegetables. Thats the only thing ive done eaten more veg. Im not happy about the insinuation that its my fault. there is a lady at class whos lost 9 and half stone (older lady shes retired) and she admitted that she did have a cry at home because she gained back a couple of pounds. Shes my height 5"5 and under 10 stone FFS. And shes crying. Thats how skewed this has become. Its taken me six weeks to lose ten pounds and the nurse has told me this is perfectly normal. Nurse also told me that i was eating the right things. nurse also told me that according to my medical records ive lost a stone and half not fucking ten pounds. Im done with SW. im just gonna carry on eating sensibly and get weighed at the docs once a fortnight. the diet industry can fuck off!

FlatCapAndAWhippet · 19/04/2012 23:12

I think if youre getting good results carer, as you are, then keep going to the nurse which is free and you are also getting fair and honest advice. Well done.

carernotasaint · 19/04/2012 23:58

Thanks everyone i fully intend to keep going as i am. Thanks everyone for your support and well done on all your acheivements too.xxx

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/04/2012 08:32

agree go to the nurse and as long as weight is coming off then doesnt matter how

i sts but as i said after mondays pig out im not surprised

jeansforever · 20/04/2012 13:15
