Hi Katiem, great to hear from you. It sounds like you've been really busy but well done on maintaining your target weight. I'm a bit nervous about getting to target and putting the weight back on - so what's your secret? Are you sticking loosely to plan and still doing meetings/plan at home? It'd be fab to hear from you as a successful maintainer is inspirational to hear from!
Have a great wednesday folks!
WI tonight, I lost another 1lb girls so i'm still plodding along slowly but surely.
I was thrilled at WI tonight though as my leader paid me a huge compliment, she was going through everyone's losses as usual saying 'where's jane, she's lost 1lb today, well done, blah blah', then when it came to me I wasn't expecting to be next as i'd forgotten where I was in the queue and she said 'now this lady is looking absolutely amazing today, she has lost 1lb and 16.5lb in total...', i was looking around trying to see who it was and then realised it was me!! I got a massive applause!! I had got changed from my usual work clothes (big baggy trousers and work t-shirt and had put on skinny leggings and silk top, with heeled ankle boots, cos I thought it would help my weight loss! She said I looked fabulous when I walked in and couldn't believe how slim I looked. Haha isn't that a huge boost, from the leader no less!! It made my nightxxx
Aww thanks KrupsI don't really know if you should follow my plan haha... well SW recommend that instead of increasing syns you increase the healthy extras until you find a balance that helps you maintain, where as I tend to still weigh every day and have 3 days stuck to the plan as I did before then the other 4 just do as best as I can but not really worry if I go out to eat or not! I normally find that if I follow it for first few days I go under target, then I put it back on at the end lol!! It's harder than just losing the weight!! xx
That's absolutely fantastic hon...I know what you mean about being made a fuss off, our leader does that, she makes everyone feel important xxxWell I really don't understand bodies... It doesn't seem to make any sense amount lost/put on some weeks! Maybe I've done more exercise than I thought cleaning but I lost 2.5lbs YES!!!!
I am now officially in normal weight range and have lost 2 stone with weight watchers
Really happy although a bit gutted because normal leader was on hol so cover one didn't make a fuss of me and I'd been looking forward to that as sad as that is lol
That's absolutely fantastic hon...I know what you mean about being made a fuss off, our leader does that, she makes everyone feel important xxx![]()
Aw Jooloo, job hunting is a nightmare, i'm having to apply for a job i'm already doing at the momentMy job hunt is going terribly!!! Had 5 rejections so far. V frustrating as I'm only applying for part time evening jobs so they're mostly bottom of the totem pole stuff! Hubbys saying it's cos I'm over qualified but I'm starting to think that's just something ppl say like teling fat ppl they've got a pretty face?! Should I be missing off my degree and deploma on application forms? It's not like they're relevant to the jobs.. but then what will they think I've been doing with my time? lol
Big bear how is your job hunt going?
Come back to SW hon, those shakes must be nearly gone now!!! :cry:Awww Jooloo sorry to hear this babe :-( *hugs* and btw I get the 'you have such a pretty face' thing all the time!
Job hunting is beyond frustrating - I'm looking now and it's tough, really tough. Have been searching for jobs in London since last summer - one interview out of all that. And I ended up rejecting the job due to how much money it was paying!!
The taking off bits of your cv is a good idea though - I had a job I - would happily do part time now - when I was 17 with just GCSE's and AS levels!
Also - I took my MA off my cv when applying for the job I have now.
Someone found out (I think through fb) and actually TOLD me she wouldn't have given me the job had she known. So yeah - play around. Good luck no matter what!
In weight news - good luck all of you. Brief summary of my awful weeks:
- hungry
- hungry
- moody
- only lost a lb a week for 2 weeks
- hungry
- miss slimming world
- hungry
- moody
- fell off thee times (for toast, literally toast - I never EVER have bread on sw)
Did I mention that I'm hungry? Could chew my arm off! Can't wait 'till this is over x
Good luck with the job hunting BB. Keep going with the SW xxxHello my lovelies,
So sorry not been on much. I've had a tooth abscess which had me in complete agony, I got it removed on Thursday & I'm in worse pain now. It's been really difficult with the pain/lack of sleep from it & trying to look after the 2.5 year old 7 baby as my H does nights so was no help. I'm still in agony now so I'm going back to the dentist Tues.
I've been eating okish but just soft things...I lost 1lb last week & I've WI again Monday but not holding out for a loss as not been eating much fruit/veg.
Well done on the losses girls, I'll not go through you individually but you're all doing fab.
Katie - nice to see you back.
Jooloo - re: the jobs I'm applying for part-time admin & I've got an interview on the 3rd June for an administrator for Young Peoples Services, they deal with substance abuse etc..
I've applied for about 3 jobs, the other one have delayed short-listing until 10th June so still have a chance.
I have to do excel/word tests at i/v so I'm going to have to brush up on my excel & do some practice tests if i can find any online as I've just got the basics as I've never used it in any other jobs.
Hope you all have a fab weekend & I'll speak to you soon, love & losing lbs vibes to you all

Aw Jooloo, job hunting is a nightmare, i'm having to apply for a job i'm already doing at the momentAlso, i absolutely hate interviews, I don't think I come across well at all as I get so nervous. Good luck xxx
bit of news... I just weighed in to realise that I have... STS this week.
Yep. STS.
Now, a sts on slimming world would probably have ‘I’m lucky I didn’t gain this week, I know where I went wrong bla de da de dad a da, will have 100% days this week and look forward to a good loss next week’.
This is what STS on Sf feels like:
ARGGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH
I have been hungry. Moody. Angry. Irritable. More hungry. Snappy. Eating nothing but shakes and grapes between 6am – 6pm and then eating the remainders of my calorie allowance in either ww ready meals and mini kit kat bites or. JUNK. Absolute Junk.
Here lies my SF journey:
Week 1 – 1lb
Week 2 – 1.5
Week 3 – STS
Rest in peace. Rest in frickin peace.
I rang up a consultant from the website... arranged to meet her at 9:15am tomorrow morning (how nice of her is that? classes start at 9:30am...)
Your eyes are not deceiving you. I am re-joining slimming world – tomorrow!
I feel happier already, much happier.![]()
Well done Elaine!! Glad to have you back from the dark side!!! Well, we're almost in June and I haven't lost all my weight, but i'm halfway there and am loving getting slimmer and slimmer and constantly getting complimented!!!bit of news... I just weighed in to realise that I have... STS this week.
