I haven't been posting on my diary for a while and the reason is that I was staying with my daughter all week when it was snowbound cos I couldn't get to work from home and also because I am not really following the diet.

It is the strangest thing but I am eating what I want and still losing weight. I thought it was walking a mile a day to work with my daughter that was doing it and then I realised that I was way off the diet when this was going on as I was eating at my daughters house.

Since I came back home on Friday and been able to weigh myself (daughter has no scales) I noticed I had dropped a pound and another when I weighed myself today.

So then I started to think about why this was happening and I realised that I have been sticking to the diet and that it was all somehow subconscious which I think is a great thing!

I think the things that have changed since I started SW is that I am much more aware of portion sizes, (the first spoonful tastes as good as the last made an impression) I am much more aware of the fat/ sugar content in foods and limit accordingly and if I indulge ocassionally - I make sure that I make allowances for it.

Now I just want the body optimise site to be opened again (it is currently down for maintainance) so that I can claim my stone shiney HOO HAA! Thank you marm for permission to join!

Margy, tbh I assumed you were already in - you don't need permission - just jump in and post!

Pesty - fantastic!!! I knew that gain was just a blip. Well done!!

Lurverick. I know!! It's never blooming ending. Normally when I am sick or coming down with something I will have a random gain - but this flu is excellent - t-2 this morning. Ok so the massive shaking and sweating fit I had about 4am where I became convinced my brain was frozen cauliflower and parts of it needed boiling in order to gather information may have contributed to this somewhat - but I can enjoy the scales while they last I must be losing a pound an hour just via my nose at the moment!!

I saw Scanbran post yesterday that he had plummeted from the wagon but was back and ready to sort it - so hopefully he will show up here for some support and a catch up. Not seen Lenlu at all

Off for another round of sneezing and vomit mopping, have a good day all!!

 

[hastalavegan]

Well done Pesty and Luverick!!

Welcome aboard Margy!

LOL, Minx, I don't know how you manage to make your horrendous flu symptoms so funny. Feel better soon!

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

Yeah, welcome Margy. (Though really you've been insulting me for so long, I hadn't realised you weren't on here...) And well done on your continuing losses, and the mindset thingy. It's amazing, innit?

And I'm so glad you're enjoying your trip to Flu-Land, Minxster. It sounds great fun, but I really can't afford to join you, as I've already had my holidays for this year!

And well done Pesty (I've already posted on your thread) and Lurverick. And good luck Veg. Fingers crossed, everyone, for tonight, please?

 

[MargyParker]

Fingers crossed, everyone, for tonight, please?

Fingers, toes, eyes legs and labia crossed.:smiley1842:

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

Ouch!

 

[MadameLaMinx]

The mind boggles Margy but can you plait them too??

 

[hastalavegan]

Good luck everyone tonight! My fingers and toes are crossed

I'm a bit nervous about going back to class, feels like it's been so long. Plus I don't want people to know how far off the wagon I slipped

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

Well, Veg, you had a good slip - but you'd had a good loss before it. And you've had 3 weeks of ok-ness surrounding your slip.

So I say Don't tell 'em anything unless it's so bad you HAVE to confess! And if so, make up some marvellous story, that still has you looking good.

[MargyParker]

The mind boggles Margy but can you plait them too??

Hehe not telling! Although I may post a picture later.

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

I love that dance, Lurverick. You do know I've got secret cameras installed on this thread, don't you?

 

[MadameLaMinx]

She has too, they are buried in the eyes of the ostrich!!

*atchoo*

That thing stares right into your soul...

 

[MargyParker]

This has prob been asked a million times on this forum but can I ask why people decided to use slimming world and indeed why people decided to diet at all and what started the ball rolling - i.e. the tipping point?

Am posting via my phone and the couch, so I just move it out of the way when I sneeze - the phone, obv, not the couch, that would border on the ludicrous. I have got through half a box of tissues this morning already.

Are you sitting comfortably?

I had lots of reasons, my motivation this year was my wedding anniversary, but I had done the whole massive weight loss thing before because we had problems concieving - at my biggest I was 21st2 - that was a shocker! - had been strongly advised to lose some, did so, because I had no chance of getting pregnant if I didn't - lost 6 stone, got pregnant with help, lost another 2 1/2 through diet and breastfeeding, found out I had concieved naturally, craved cake, ate a lot of cake, gained 4, gave birth, had evil postnatal depression, put on some more and found myself not quite back where I started - but only 2 stone shy of it. Depression and comfort eating has been a major player in all this.

Anyway, I decided that this year was the year to proper get a grip. Started in Jan, got as far as April, started to waver, decided I needed something to keep me focussed, looked at SW, never considered WW (Little Britain has a lot to answer for), thought SW looked pretty damn awesome, and braved a meeting. End of year, lighter than I have ever been, WOTY for the group, job done. Now to keep it that way.
