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!

does anyone have udder's email address as she hasn't been on for a while.

Oh Dear!! Had a lovely weekend - eaten waaaaaay too much!!! Need to be really strict with myself now for the rest of the week. I dread to think how much weight I've put back on in 2 days. More than you can lose in 2, I'll bet!!

How's everyone else doing?

fireflyfairy2 · 19/03/2007 11:40

I have had an awful wknd. Family problems & stress ocer exams have been the reason that I have been eating way way too much. I mean, far too much. Going to bed on a full tummy & waking up thirsty with heartburn I am on self distruct this week

Sparkler1 · 19/03/2007 20:04

Must be a bad week all round then. Just popped on here to say I am having a real struggle this week. Haven't had chance to get shopping in so we are "using up" items I already had in cupboard and freezer from before. I really don't seem to have any willpower this week either - feeling a bit run down with a cold as well which isn't helping. Even been considering stopping group - I've been here before - I think to myself if I'm not going to even try sticking to the plan whilst a SW member what's the point in paying out £5 every week. Guess if I sleep on it tonight I'll may feel more positive again tomorrow.

Thanks Christie
I haven't helped myself tonight either. I was curious to work out my BMI - have never done it before. I know that I am overweight but to see the words OBESE flash up before me made me feel pretty pants. You would have thought it would make me think, right that's it the weight is coming off but to be honest I just want to go and scoff a load of chocolate to cheer myself up.

I feel absolute pants.

But I think it's down to what I have been eating this week. ie: nothing healthy or remotely good for me.

I could tell you what I have eaten all week but it would disgust you

I have had heartburn all day today & have had no dinner as my tummy feels so full. Am really my own worst enemy at the minute

Also have a psychology essay due in on Wed & can't concentrate to finish it

BethAndHerBrood · 21/03/2007 09:39

I think we must all have had a rubbish week then. I never did start being good after the weekend, and have scoffed chocolate and white bread like it's going out of fashion! (have enjoyed it though!)

Get weighed tomorrow, then a fresh start! (again)

fireflyfairy2 · 21/03/2007 15:44

Ooh I am dreading this, My own scales say I have gained 4lb... in 2 weeks Gos knows how many sw scales will say I have gained!

Sigh it's hard isn't it? I'm sat here drinking wine and eating cashew nuts and I'm getting weighed tomorrow night. What's wrong me?
Well done Christie!
FF hope your weight in goes ok
I'm hoping Image Therapy and then a big supermarket shop afterwards will motivate me next week.

fireflyfairy2 · 21/03/2007 21:23

Oh jesus. I had 3.5lb on And I can't blame anyone but me

Back on track tomorrow & free foods between now & Friday as I have a night out booked for Friday. Period landed today also, so that hasn't heped the weight loss any.

ledodgy · 21/03/2007 21:51

I lost half a pound but am pleased as I went well over my syns was also reminded I ate a mars bar whilst pissed on Friday night that i'd completley forgot about! I've gone over my syns three weeks running and lost every time not much but still lost and I swear the key is speed foods, try and have at least two speed or super speed with every meal your body has to work harder to break them down so burns off more fat it really is true. FF you know where you went wrong but it's a new week it will all be gone next week.
Well done on your loss Christie.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 21/03/2007 21:53

Oooh this is where you hang out ledodge

May I join you?

ledodgy · 21/03/2007 21:56

Yes! definately VVV lovely to see you and a big welcome.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 21/03/2007 21:58

Thank you!!!!

ledodgy · 21/03/2007 21:59

I must admit i'm never very sensible on a Wednesday night as I weigh in and after that it's my night off so I have wine and am waiting for my donner wrap order...Wednesday night is my night off!

Thats another tip always have the night after weighing in off. I figured when it was my first weigh in night I didn't start until the day after and you have seven clear days in which to lose weight therefore weigh in night is completley neutral and you can have a night off. I'm living proof this works!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 21/03/2007 23:08

Is there any info i can read about the principles of it, before I get to go along tomorrow?

BethAndHerBrood · 22/03/2007 09:02

I must have something really wrong with me. I go to get weighed in an hour. I have just eaten
2 slices white toast
toasted teacake
chocolate bar

WTF is the matter with me???

ff2 - I'll see your 3.5lbs, and raise you! If I only put on 3.5 I'll be very happy. (well, not happy, but YKWIM!)

ledodgy · 22/03/2007 09:16

Sorry VVV to bed so this is probably too late but you can get basic info on www.slimmingworld.co.uk if you register on group membership the password Beetroot may still work I completley forgot to get this weeks password last night you'll also get given it each week at your group.

ledodgy · 22/03/2007 09:16
