Hi all 
Just wanting a little advice from any fellow SW members, past members etc.
I have followed Slimming World since Jan 2016 and lost 17.5lbs so far. I got to my target which was the lowest weight that they would allow me attend the group with.
I know it’s very much all about the scales they rarely take into account how you feel, body changes, clothes fitting differently etc.
I am not one to slam the SW plan I think it’s amazing and I’m so thankful for it and what it has taught me.
Little bit of what’s going on now, for the past 4-5 days I’ve been very much half on half off plan – I am due to go on holiday in 10 days (also due to be weighed this Saturday and dreading going as I know I’ve gained and feel like il be disheartened before my holidays) and the motivation just isn’t there anymore (iv got a couple events in that space of time due to it being my boyfriend’s birthday so I know I’ll be off plan one or two days) – star week also hit and I ate like a bottomless pit the past few days.
I won’t be sticking to the plan on holiday I’d rather have a good splash out for the week.. I’m just getting anxious about when I return and the weight I’ll be putting on – I would rather go back to class after my holidays and stick to it to get back to what I was weight wise before I went away.
I had a little thought the past few weeks and just because I got to my target weight I still wasn’t happy with it and would like to tone up however I don’t know if I should continue going to the classes or not.
I’d be happy enough following the plan from home I do love the meals, I’d still meal plan and batch cook and buy the mags but the only difference is id weigh myself on a Boots scale (same time, same day, same clothes etc – I prefer not to keep scales in the house or id weigh myself every day).
I struggle a little with the “moderation” thing and very recently developed a binging habit where I’d be brilliant for 5-6 days out the week and every so often have a binge and blow my syns completely plus more - this week I’ve done in approx. 250 syns.
What do you guys think? I just need some encouragement, I know I should be looking forward to my holidays and staying 100% on plan but it’s more of a “well I’m gonna be on holiday soon kinda mood”.. I’m sure I would cope with following the SW plan by eating healthy and doing some homemade cooking but then if I fancy a takeaway on a Friday night il have it, the only thing I’m doubting is can I stop there and not continue slipping into old bad habits.
I know if I start to put the weight back on il go back to the classes I won’t just think ah it.
Does anyone else have opinions on following a healthy plan for 80% of the time, exercising and being more active but also not feeling guilty about having a takeaway or going out for lunch now and then?
I know it’s all down to me I know its myself and only me that has control over this.
Just a side note, I do prefer the SW way of cooking and the recipes I’ve discovered I love them so much I won’t be giving them up - I will still keep a diary of what I eat, I prefer to write down my meals and snacks as I go, it’s just habit 
Extra note I do loooove all fruits/veg etc - I did find giving up carbs such as bread and rice and pasta helped my losses when I replaced with alternatives like cauli rice, courgette etc.. just so you know I'm not like a major unhealthy freak I love any fruit, veg, salad item you put in front of me - just also got a major sweet tooth and love pizzas at the same time
