Back With a Vengeance!

Hello everyone!

So, after a long year of ups and downs (many downs!), I have decided to hop back on that specially-reinforced wagon that is Slimming World!

My main problem with losing weight, is that I get bored very easily and don't get much support from people, so I'm hoping that posting on here will open up a way of venting my frustrations and celebrating my achievements

Welcome lovely, you're definitely in the right place we're here to help!

hi jamie
well done love

Well done. xxx

It's been a good week this week, with a couple of slips (had 2 bags of wotsits on Tuesdays when I was already over my syn allowance). But overall, I stuck to everything very rigidly and managed to lose 3.5lbs in the process! I didn't get SotW, because someone lost .5lb more than me, but I got my 1/2st certificate!

All in all: back of the net!

That jammy bugger! Sods law But that is still massively brilliant - well done lovely!

Oh I would have stolen their certificate!!!

Well done on the loss, that's brilliant

I'm coming to you this week from the nearest rooftop!

So, I was prepared for a loss because I had had a good week, however when I got on the scales and lost 3lbs, I was slightly disappointed. I said to the lady who weighs me, "do you mind if I take my shoes off?"...

Turns out my shoes weigh 2lbs!

So, I actually lost 5lbs, lost my first stone AND finally got Slimmer of the Week! Today is a day for celebration

That is brilliant. So very happy for you and it must be a massive boost for you to keep going! Supersonic!!:wow:

Heeee! An extra boost! (don't wear those shoes again! ) Well done hun!!!!

well done x x x x

It's that time of the week again, which means...

I lost 4lbs! Got Slimmer of the Week again, too - which is nice!

This week was the first time that since starting the plan that I went out for lunch, and me and a friend went to Wagamama. Considering this is one of the healthier restaurants to go to for a meal, there is quite a lot of stuff which has 30+ syns, so I avoided those and went for the Teriyaki Chicken Donburi (which I calculated to be about 17 syns). I had half a serving of mochi cakes for dessert (which were delicious!), and they came to about 6.5 syns for the serving I had.

I had allowed myself an upper limit of 30 syns, just so I didn't feel like I was restricted to one or two dishes. On the contrary, there were at least 10 dishes on the menu that were available to me, so I will definitely be going there again.

After only having 23.5 out of 30 syns for that meal, I can at least tell myself that that was a small accomplishment, rather than beating myself up for going over my 15 syn limit. It's what Flexible Syns are all about, right?!

Also, I just want to say thanks to the people that have been reading and giving me the boost to carry on from week to week. I may not say a lot, but I do read your blogs and I do know that you're all doing splendidly

Wow, well done again! I am so chuffed for you. You are sounding really positive and happy. Keep it up my friend, proud of you. Bev x
