Aww Emma, the scales can be so upsetting at times!! And our bodies work in mysterious ways - they don't always do what we want them to do. Don't let it throw you off track though. You've lost so much weight and are so close to target, which is when they say things do tend to slow down a little. Stick with it and sooner or later it will pay off. We're all behind you xx

Thanks Stevie, I know that when you get closer to target your weight slows down. It's just made me think that maybe my body is happy where it's at now??
God knows... Nearly 40syns consumed today, wowzers!!! Still feel hungry aswell, haha. What a greedy hungry hippo I am today. Off to have some chicken, fruit & yogurt.

Sorry to see your getting a little stressed with the plan, try and relax with it a little.
You look absolutely fabulous and I know the scales mean something to you but when your out and looking great, no one else thinks crickey, he still has 5lb to lose, it's only you that thinks that way. Keep on the plan and it will gradually come off, but jut remember how far you've come and how amazing your looking em.

Hey Jens, that was such a nice post and you're absolutely right! I'm the only one to blame for putting so much pressure on myself for chasing a number on the scales. No one else has ever said 'Hey Em, you need to lose another 5lb', they say the total opposite! They say I look too skinny, but obviously I think they're looney tunes for saying that like but jeeez, I'm my own worst enemy.
Anyway, Slimming World is a lifestyle that I've led for 18months and of course I'm going to have some slip ups along the way but I mean I'm a better person for doing so eh, and not to mention 7st 8.5lb lighter!!!
Thanks for that Jen X

Your welcome Hun, being fit, healthy and looking good are the best bits about sw lifestyle, the scales going down should just be a bonus.
Did I see you started the squat challenge?? I'm thinking of starting it again... I always forget after a couple of days lol

Good morning everyone, today is a brand new day and I'm raring to go! I could get used to waking up later than usual on a Monday morning like. Thank god for bank holidays
I hopped on the scales this morning and they're now showing 10st 13lb which is awesome. I just need to keep today as another low syn Red day and tomorrows weigh in should be ok! I'll be happy with a maintain, but a loss would be awesome!
Today I'm off out with my sister & niece, then later on I think me and Liam are going to have a walk along the coast to Allonby for an ice-cream (Hopefully the weather stays dry!) I've already planned that I'll have either a Twister or a Fab ice lolly. Both are 4syns, so that won't hurt the scales that much, will it?
Anywho, today's food...
Red
Breakfast:
Strawberries, raspberries & banana with raspberry Shape 0% yogurt
Dinner:
Homemade vegetable soup (Carrots, turnip, onion, stock & lentils) & 2x Alpen light bars (HExB)
Tea:
Tandoori chicken skewers with red onion & peppers with salad (Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber & spring onion)
Evening snacks:
Special K Chewy bar (HExB)
Ice lolly of some sort (4syns)
HExA - 250ml semi-skimmed milk (In my cuppas throughout the day)
HExB - 2x Alpen light bars
HExB - Special K Chewy bar

Just looked in my SW book and noticed that I was 10st 13lbs last week (It also shows that on my stats, how numb am I, duhhh!), so my scales at home showed a 1lb loss this morning! Whoop. That was obviously just in my underwear and before anything was consumed, but that's much better than what I thought. I think I now have more of a chance to definitely maintain tonight
Lily & BikerChick - Thanks very much for subscribing, it's lovely to see you both here
Jens - Thanks very much, I hate weighing in at 5:30pm, Tuesday always drag!
