SLIMMING WORLD 2007 - THREAD 2 - NEW THREAD, NEW WEEK, FRESH START

[Sparkler1]

Can I start a new thread? Hope you don't mind.
Just had a really bad weight gain at group tonight and need a fresh start. Thought a fresh new thread would help.
After a 6lb weight loss last weeek have just had a bad weigh in with a gain of 3 1/2lb. .
So tomorrow is a new day, start of a new week and I am going to work hard at it!!!
Who wants to join me for a good week ahead?

Summer is on it's way and we are all going to look good!

How has everyone gotten on this week?

I missed my weigh-in as dh was off today so we went out for the day & had dinner out & we weren't home in time for my class!

nappy addict - I buy the sunflower oil so can't tell you about olive oil. hopefully someone can help soon.
Have been pretty ok since Monday. Weekend was a disaster. Had done really well today until dd's didn't eat all their pizza at teatime and I ended up picking at a few bits
Weigh in tomorrow so shall see if it notices.

hello, not been on for a few weeks due to moving house, went back ti SW tonight, not been for 5 weeks, put on 4 pounds

Oh well, never mind im back on the straight and narrow now.

Password for this week i was given Beetroot.

Hello! I lost 1 pound tonight and I got the loser of the year 2007 from our group I got a lovely bunch of flowers and a certificate and entry into the UK one! It was a lovely suprise and i'm glad I went.

CONGRATULATIONS LEDODGY

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ty FF.

ledodgy that's fantastic! Well done you must be really chuffed with yourself.

Oh god just read it properly I have to give a before and after photo in and sign a press release! I haven't got an after photo yet cos im not at target and dont want to see myself now and the only before photo i've got is when ds was just born and oh god he looks angelic but I look like a buffoon.

Well, I did it!! Lost 1.5lbs, got my 3.5 stone award!!

Next stop, 4 stones [gulp]

Congrats, ledodgy, I hadn't read thread before posting!

I'm sure you don't look like a buffoon!!!

Ledodgy: Go for it - its great fun if a bit nerve racking. I was put thro by my group back in 1994 (I had lost nearly 5 stone). It was fun - I only got to the regionals tho.... you have to have a good story to win. Plus I had my pic in the Sun Newspaper .. now that was embarrassing.. however they did give me a makeover.

weighed myself on monday stayed the stay at 9st 8 at least i didn't put on i guess. hoping to lose at least 1lb this week!

God, I'd love to be 9st 8.

Aint never gonna happen.

Well done BAHB

Well done ledodgy.
I have been thinking about joining Sw for a while and this thread has covinced me.
Will join next week so hopefully I will posting on here in the future with reports of lots of weight loss!

Well done Beth! I would have posted yesterday but for some reason my keyboard wouldn't work so I had a frustrating day of only being able to look at MN but couldn't type! Hi Rachfran Welcome you'll love it.
Oh yeah I found out the reason why pureed fruit is high in syns it's not do do with the satisfaction value as we thought but it's because when you drink a smoothie for example your body doesn't have to work as hard to digest it compared to if you'd ate the fruits whole. My consultant said that SW have said they can't even give a total syn value out because it's so high.

3lbs off for me last night. Back on track now - well will be after tonight.

Hi everyone, not been on for a few days. Well done Ledodgy - that's fantastic! We might see you in the magazine then? Will you still talk to us when you're famous?? . Seriously tho', well done.
