Yay! Another loss this week despite being on my period, so 11lbs lost in total. I am feeling very happy with this! I go back to work in a couple of weeks and for the first time I'm thankful we're not allowed communal gathering places so there'll be no cakes or biscuits to be consumed in the staffroom!

If I can lose a stone total before I go back I'd be delighted - just 3lbs to go!!

I hope everyone else is doing okay. It's gone quiet on here, but I think @BigMumma18 and I will keep on posting, if only to spur each other on!

@SallyLovesCheese wow that's great! Did you do anything different this past week to lose extra? Good luck with getting to the stone loss, I keep saying the same! 3lbs more, then my first stone although I've got a few more to lose I'm definitely having a good start to my long journey! Thank you for posting as I think it's just us now 😥 this keeps me going!

Hope everyone else is ok? Would be lovely to hear from you 🙂

Hey all, I gave up SlimFast and started Team RH today - good luck to everyone on their slimming journey!

Hi @greendress789 Thank you and good luck with Team RH and your slimming journey, please let us know how you're getting on with it!

I've not heard of Team RH. I guess that's why I'm on the old-school Slimfast!

No, i didn't do anything special this week. Apart from just trying to keep busy. I definitely eat when I'm bored, so keeping my hands and mind busy is helping me not to snack!

@SallyLovesCheese I've not heard of Team RH either. That's good then, I'm the same, if busy I could go all day without eating but obviously don't as not good!

Thinking about going out and getting the 7day slim fast box, desperately need to shift some weight, biggest I’ve ever been 😭
And reading these posts is filling me with a little hope 💖

Edit, hubby just popped out to get it for me 🤞🤞

Hi @cornishbird80 😀 Always lovely to have more people joining in! I started on the 7 day box on my first week as thought it would be easier which I think it did really help get me into the routine I needed with it. I know the feeling, I was the biggest I've ever been too at the start of this and still got loads to lose. Did your hubby get you some?

Yes he did, day 1 complete 😀 I struggle with the evenings when the children are in bed, it's my worst snacking time 😬 x

@cornishbird80 well done! Same here, evenings are definitely the hardest 😣

Unfortunately no loss for me this week 😢 so fingers crossed for next week!

Please can I join? I took the plunge and bought a 7 day pack this morning. Will probably start on Monday (have a tricky weekend coming up so I can't mentally cope with that AND trying to change my eating habits).

I feel grotesque, am the heaviest I've ever been and despite eating salads and doing lots of physical stuff in the last week, have not lost an ounce.

I have a lot to lose, but if I can just fit into some of my nice dresses for the winter I'll be very happy.

Welcome, @cornishbird80 and @namechangedyetagain !

I started with two 7-day boxes, lost 5lbs in those 2 weeks! I haven't lost absolutely every week since, but generally on a downwards trend. The evenings are bad for me, too. I do struggle after about 8pm. I find keeping busy helps!

Sorry to hear it, @BigMumma18, try to focus on the weight you have lost and keep that at the front of your mind. We all have weeks like that, just stick with it!

Hi @namechangedyetagain welcome too! Thank you @SallyLovesCheese 🙂 that's just what I needed to hear, been feeling really down about it this week. With your encouragement and others joining in, I will certainly keep at it!

Hello all, can I join you? It's great to read your progress. I started the 7 day pack on Wednesday this week, looking to lose about a stone.

I'm 5'2" and currently 10 stone - I've put on a fair bit over lockdown, especially after a messy break-up in April (I've definitely been comfort eating).

I'm using MFP to track and trying to have plenty of protein in snacks as I know that helps me feel fuller.

I've done 2 whole days! Feeling hungry after 8 ish. I have bought a few 'good balanced' meals from Asda to have as evening meal which all come in around 400 cals so I have been having an extra snack in the eve of about 100 cals. I'm gonna weigh tomorrow as Saturday is my fave weigh day, I feel I can have a bit of a treat on a sat eve then.
I weighed in at 16st13.8 (new fancy scales that weigh very precise!) at the start of slim fast so tomorrow will be 3 days in. I'll keep you posted.

I should add I'm hoping for big things as I reckon I was eating well over 3000 cals a day and have dropped to around 1200 with slim fast so 🤞🤞

Good luck cornishbird80! I definitely snack out of boredom in the evenings and always want something sweet after a meal - I've just bought a load of sugar-free jelly to make up which is about 4 cals per 100g.

Welcome @martha7 🙂 lovely to have new people joining in! Hope everyone has a good week.

Well I weighed in and I have lost 3.5 pounds!! For me though, I have massively dropped the cals, I'm a massive binge eater in the evening normally. Now to get through the weekend 😬

@cornishbird80 wow! That's amazing, well done 😀

Thanks @BigMumma18 and great start @cornishbird80 !

I've lost 3lb since Wednesday - I suspect there's a lot of water weight in there (anyone else peeing like crazy since they started this?) but I feel a bit lighter and less bloated so happy with that. Lunch out with friends today but we're going for a walk and a swim beforehand so hopefully that'll all balance out.

Have a good weekend everyone 🙂
