Cheese Thief you are doing great. I thought I did well this week with 2.5lbs, but 5.5 lbs is fantastic.

Heh guys I'm just back from a week off plan in NYC... Pizza, cheesecake, bagels, pretzels, chocolate, Cheetos.... I'm dreading weighin tomoro but I know I'll get it off again and it's actually tough to find healthy food in NYC! There are a few salad bars which we'd normally have lunch in but they have no seating downstairs and no lift for a buggy!
Ah well.... I'll take it on the chin and move on!

It's so hard lately isn't it on the run up to Christmas? Got 2.5lbs off but thats over the past 3 weeks (ive had holiday, coursework deadline and uni interviews so actually pretty pleased!). Only 1lb to go til i'm into the 20's, would love to get there in time for Christmas so doing my best to be 100% on plan on the days I havent got festive stuff planned.
What's everyone doing for Christmas SW wise? I've decided to have xmas eve, xmas day, boxing day and NYE 'off' and gonna be super good the rest of the time. A pound or two on wouldn't bother me, but i'd love to sts - I can but dream!

Just read through this whole thread!! You are all so inspirational. I joined slimming world 2 years ago at half a pound shy of 20stone. I managed to get down into the 17s but then fell off the wagon. Been really down about my size lately and have stopped accepting invitations to go out and have stopped bothering to straightened my hair and do my make up, it's now a case of wash and scrap my hair back.
Have decided it's time to get back to slimming world and will be rejoining when I get paid on the 7th. Just weight myself and was devastated to see that I am not 23 and a half stone Fingers crossed I can stick to it this time and get my life back!!

Aww MrsM reading your post really makes my heart go out to you. I know what it's like to feel like that. I didn't get to the point where I felt so bad about myself I stopped wearing make up etc, but I completely HATED going out in public and would always try and find an excuse to get out of things. Particularly if it was a night out or something where drunk people were out and about, I used to be so afraid of being insulted! I was always scared I wouldn't fit into chair arms and stuff, going out was an absolute nightmare and I hated it when I caught my own reflection in a full length mirror!
The good news is you really can do this. For a start you've done it before so you've got the dedication to stick with it. Although I'm still in the 20's, losing nearly 4 stone has made a massive difference to the way I feel and my self esteem. I feel so much more confident and alive, I don't hide from the mirror any more and most importantly I'm enjoying a healthy diet loads more than all the processed crap I used to eat. SW really does work and in 6 months time i'm sure you'll feel like a different person. I found keeping a diary on here really helps too, it's so useful to track your food and ups and downs.
You can do this and it's completely in your control. If you put your heart into it and want it bad enough you WILL succeed I promise you. Just use all the negativity and sadness you're feeling now and channel it positively to change your life around. Your post really struck a chord with me and I'll be here willing you on every step of the way, all the best from me xx

Thanks for your reply CheeseTheif. Everything your saying about being in public and chairs and stuff is exactly how I feel. I'm going to start cutting down over the next week as I don't have the cash to go and do a slimming world food shop before payday. Will let you know how I get on when I rejoin xxx
