It looks like you are following it really well. I have done slimming world in the past and lost quite a bit on it. Some weeks I gained but I think it’s down to water retention. Also I think it depends when your class is, how much you’ve drunk during the day etc. One thing I did notice about your diary is you haven’t included many drinks. Drinking lots of water seems to boost weight loss. It gets rid of excess sodium ( was a nurse once - so a little knowledge.) Carry on the brilliant work. We’ll all get there! I’ll probably switch back to SW at some point!

Thank You I do drink lots of water and add fresh lemon and/or lime just never remember to add and always forget to count how much I drink. I have always drunk lots of water so that has never been a hardship. I am slowly starting to identify triggers, I think I am eating too late in the evenings and I think I need to reduce the portions a bit and have slowly added a little bit more exercise. I will inevitably find a path that suits my body and needs. Just going to keep plugging away and see what happens and keep adapting until it feels right. Will pop by and see how you are getting on.

My WI is today @5pm. Feeling a bit nervous about it as really want to lose at least 3lbs just to make up for a gain last week and get my closer to my initial goal. Have worked very hard (well for me) this week, added a few more positive changes, so fingers crossed. Might go for a long walk before WI will try anything!!!! :):):)
 
Good luck for weight in misty. Will be keeping everything crossed for u. Sending positive vibes
 
Tuesday 6th November

Breakfast
Slices of melon
Alpen Light Bar

Lunch
Bowl of Syn Free Soup
(Had a walk and lot of water just before WI)

Dinner
Was so hungry after WI and burnt my dinner so had to have something quick, had 2 slices of wholemeal bread with lots of salad, chicken slices and some light mayo (did not measure it)
Chicken Curry and Rice
Snacks
Another few melon slices and corn snack which were in a larger bag so did not measure either.

I reckon my Syns were between 15-20.
