NEW SLIMMING WORLD THREAD - IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS - HOW ARE WE DOING????

341 replies

Sparkler · 24/11/2007 20:49

Had to start a new thread peeps as the old one was too long to accept any new messages. How's it going?
I'm sad to say after my positive note on starting the previous thread, I'm having a terrible time of things. I've really slipped. So, I need you to all shout at me and get me back on track. I don't mind what you say or how you say it. I can handle it.

Hi Sparkler
We had a lovely day yesterday and, like you, I really went for it: traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings followed by Nigella's Ice Cream Cake with hot butterscotch sauce (drool drool)
Also had Drambuie abd nibbles in the evening

Can't even begin to imagine how many SW syns I had yesterday!!
Will try to be a little more restrained today.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and here's to us all having a much slimmer 2008 X X X X X

Merry Christmas gals! Yeh, we had the full works yesterday and enjoyed every mouthful! Strangely, I haven't fancied it all again today, so I'm taking the opportunity to be good, as we're out for an anniversary curry on 28th.
I had planned on losing another stone this year, but DH announced the other night, he didnt want me to get any slimmer, in case my "DD" lady-bumps dissapear! Mind you, some weeks I work really hard and just end up maintaining, so maybe he's right

gina123 · 26/12/2007 16:33

hi!

i hope it is ok if i join this group. i have been doing slimming world for a few months and lost around 7 lbs, but the weight loss is beginning to level off now and i still have another 13 lbs to go! i hope everyone had a great christmas! and have a happy new year!

thanks

gina

Merry Christmas everyone!

God, I've eaten everything - sticky toffee pudding, custard, Roses, cookies. It's been great!

Also going to weigh in tomorrow. It's going to be bad but I don't care - it is only once a year, and the morning sickness is kicking in and making me munch more...

kid · 26/12/2007 20:42

I am enjoying all this extra food and am not worried about how much I am going to gain over Christmas. It would be impossible for me not to gain but as long as I can shift it again after New Year I'm happy.

I did weigh in on Monday and I had gained 1lb. Not much when I think about how much I ate and drank over the past week.

Good on you all for letting your hair down and getting stuck in to the food. Christmas only comes once a year so we might as well enjoy it!

andyrobo237 · 26/12/2007 21:15

Merry Chrimbo all!

We had weigh in on Sunday and I had lsot 3 lbs! Not sure how, but having an ear infection and antibiotics and being really busy have stopped me snacking! Enjoyed the food yesterday, but will get back on track tomorrow - could go for a weigh in tomorrow night - will see how I feel, else it will be next wednesday!

Gotta go, as I cant hear anything!!!!

kid I'm thinking like you at the moment. I will go for weigh in tomorrow night and I know that I will gain. I also know that it will probably be New Year before I get back on track properly. I know I really want to lose weight but life's too short and I want to enjoy this time of year just as much as everyone else.

I will definitely be back to SW on the 2nd Jan. I will see how I do for the first month and if I am not happy with the results, I will be joining my local SW group. I really don't want to attend the group, so maybe I will try extra hard at home. I need to get cooking more meals rather than just eating convenience food (like the pasta n'sauce which I love!)

merryCHRISTIEmas · 27/12/2007 12:43

Just had a horrible shock
I knda knew my weight had been creeping up again but I went for a check up at the doctor's this morning and since my last check up - about a year ago - I've gained 5 kilo's

Admittedly I was at my lowest then but it was still a shock to see how much I've put back on.

Definitely back on track from today.
We have a big family get together on sunday but other than that I've got no excuse for straying off the SW plan.

I have to go back to the docs in 3 months as I've had to change to a different pill and she's only given me three months worth so I'm determined to have lost a good deal next time I stand on those scales!!

FairyTaleOfNewYork · 27/12/2007 13:35

well weigh in was this morning. i have gained 4.5lb over xmas

but it was totally worth it.

am back on track, and will continue to stay on track until april when its my birthday lol.

Sorry to hear about your weight gains ladies. I'm sure there will be many more of us following suit this week. Two hours until my weigh in and I'm starving. There's lots of yummy christmas food staring at me at the moment.

Candlewax · 27/12/2007 16:51

Sparkler, I think I am passing out with lack of food here! 2 hours until my weigh in as well. Our consultant is taking mulled wine and mince pies tonight! She knows how to get us in there and how to get rid of all the tempting treats from her house. Then I am coming home to a leftovers feast - yummy!

FairyTaleOfNewYork · 27/12/2007 16:54

i have no leftovers left.

so no temptation in my way.

untill i go shopping tomorrow [sigh]

boHOHOhemianbint · 27/12/2007 18:04

Eeek - I'm about to go and weigh in! TBH, bathroom scales say I'm the same. If so I'll be overjoyed; in fact, if the damage is less than 3lbs I'll be impressed, we've had take aways and choccies galore. Wish me luck - I'll be back to update you...

Good luck girls

MamaG · 27/12/2007 20:54

i dread to think what I'll weigh

Candlewax · 27/12/2007 20:57

Oh well... 5lbs. One member put on 13lbs.

FairyTaleOfNewYork · 27/12/2007 21:40

we were all laughing about our gains this week. a couple of people lost, but that was through being ill.

Sparkler · 27/12/2007 21:49

4.5lbs on for me - but that's over 3 weeks. I'm ok about that one I guess. We also had a 13lb gain in our group too candlewax. You don't go to the same group as me do you?

fairytaleofnewyrok - we were the same in our group all having a laugh about gains. Well, we are all human. Even our consultant had a gain and was telling us about how she drank three quarters of a bottle of vodka to herself on xmas day.

FairyTaleOfNewYork · 27/12/2007 21:54

i dont feel i have fialed at all, wehich is what i would've felt like before.

did a lot of people stay tonight for your groups. not many stayed to ours which was a shame.

lurcherlass · 27/12/2007 21:56

Blimey, I'm suprised she could remember what day it was
I'm back on the straight and narrow today, despite an un-touched Crimbo cake which smells gorgeous...We're having a curry tomorrow night for our anniversary and after that, it's strict SW all the way

No there was a very poor turn out at ours. Everything was finished by 7.45pm (group chat starts at 7.30pm) and normally it goes on until at least 8.45pm. To be honest it was quite nice to have a chat amongst a few of us.

boHOHOhemianbint · 27/12/2007 22:45

OH MY GOD. I lost a pound!

Something is up here, because I've eaten everything in the world this week.

Consultant reckoned the bambino must be burning up the excess. Bloomin' marvellous. Must make sure am pregnant every Christmas.
