Lol at your comment Why_D - Brilliant!

Well done on your 1.5lbs loss gail and i'm sorry to hear that your struggling. Tbh i don't remember the last day i was 100% on plan so know how you feel. You plan of action sounds good so good luck with it and we're here to support you

:welcome: Welcome to this thread Tabbie - We all are such a supportive bunch and offically welcome you to the thread full of insanity and nuts apparently

So i put on 0.5lbs at WI As it was expected (and i deserved it lol) i can't complain however as this is my second gain in 2 weeks i've decided i do need to buckle down and get back into SW. Therefore i am going to do some of FF this week for definate Xx

sausage bumlove in the kitchen is just NAUGHTY! hope you use a good anti bac spray afterwards, lol

*chokes on porridge*

Gail - good thinking about the syns. Hope it is working and that your head is back in the zone again soon

:8855:

Thanks sausage - doing ok I think so far. Had 25 syns yesterday which was within my plan and hoping to get down to 15 (or 20) today. How are you doing ?

Hi everyone. Am I ok to join you lot in a Sunday weigh in please, Ive been attempting to get back on the Slimming World plan after losing 2 stone and putting on another 2 an half falling off the wagon, but tbh I'm struggling this time so could do with a little support. Is there any room for a newbie in here? Thanks in advance.

Welcome Tabby. We are a lovely group (in my opinion !)

Hey all,

Well, it's been pouring torrential rain here. Bah! Sum, good luck with FF - so long as it's not cutting off an arm for weight loss (and given the extreme secrecy I am intrigued....!!!). And Gail, you're doing so well. I struggled every hour last week, and then this week it's magically shifted back to being okay again. What I mean is, when it's hard going it feels like it's undoable, but keep at it for a little while and it clicks back into place again. I know you're going to do it, I feel I am identifying exactly with how you're feeling.

Is it me or have we lost quite a few people in the last month or two? I guess it's holidays and things, and maybe June is a tough month to lose weight. I guess the summer is hard work, with holidays and schools being off and all that, and then the autumn comes and everyone is right back into weight loss.

Anyway, just wanted to say good morning!! I'm so relieved to be finding this week okay again after last week. And I don't think I'm doing anything so differently, although am definitely going for three walks a day and drinking more water - seems to help focus me!!!

Hi Sum,

Sorry I missed this the first time round. Oooops. 0.5lbs is nothing. I think things must be pretty difficult (SW wise) for you and Smartie at the moment. I know in the past when I've successfully lost weight (rare !) where it went most wrong was when I had major life changes (ie change of job, house move etc) so it's good that you are still here working at it. How is Smartie ?? Is she still loved up ?

Honey, thanks. Glad all is going well for you. Agree we have lost a few recently - amongst others Sarah, Sparky, the Missus, suzienoz, - who have I missed ?? But it's lovely that Ozzie is around at the moment

Hope everyone's week is going well - sausage, how are you getting on ?

Okay, the best thing to do, seriously - draw a line under it, and carry on using your syns for the day. I love the article on the SW website about this - basically, don't try and make up for the previous day, just stick to 15 syns for that day and you'll be fine.

It never ever works for me to try and bank syns or catch up on them. I just do it day by day, because if I feel like I owe them for the day before, I feel undermined and think "Oh I've already blown it, might as well blow it big time!"

So my advice would be to stick to the programme, and if you're worried about next week, try and boost your exercise. Also I know holidays are definitely a time of indulgence, but maybe try to stick to eating healthily most of the time, and have the occasional tasty treat?

You can do this!! (Imagine me with pom poms cheering you on, lol).

 

[gl12282]

Great advice. I totally agree with honey. I also struggle to reign back syns so when stuff like this happens - I am much more likely to go off plan because I feel deprived so just carry on as usual. Big hugs.

Do whats best for you.

Just learn from your food mistake and carry on- this isn't something that you're doing for a few days.. it takes time to lose weight so dont beat yourself up about it..

where are you going on holiday? x

[Roziee]

Dont worry about getting things wrong.. in the first month or so i was getting loads of things wrong, but it wasn't intentional and luckily i still lost.. sw can be a little tricky until you know whats what so dont think you're alone- everyone goes through it! x

Aww thank you Gail and yeah i have to admit that having so much of a social life with all the birthdays and events has made me and smartie struggle to do SW properly. FF is suppose to be a way to appricate the plan more as i have to admit i've kind of lost my way but i shall keep at it and hopefully the weight will come off too

I agree with what the others had said. Just draw a line under it and move on. Oh and enjoy your holiday Xx

 

[silly sausage]

Helloooo! I am still here, but have been painting the kitchen this week. Not the best week foodwise, but not too bad either and lots of painting exercise. I have my English pal and her bf coming for dinner tomorrow. It was arranged weeks ago before my house was turned upside down lol. The dinner wont be 100% SW, but I don't get the opportunity to cook a big dinner for more than one very often (fussy kids) so I am going for it and will take the gain like a man.

My cat is giving me evils. Better go.

Hope you are having a good week one and all. It is sooo sunny here!

Ooh, what colour are you painting the kitchen? My money says pale cream. Lots of good exercise in decorating, you'll be burning off all those calories right now. Enjoy the sunshine, it's freezing and has been torrential rain all week...

Hey everyone,
Hope you're all well!

Sorry been playing the lurking game and just had a catch up...won't comment on everything because I'll only be repeating all your good selves!!

Had an ok week myself until Wednesday which was where it all started to go wrong although to be honest that wasn't too bad. Thursday and Friday all gone wrong. Dammit.

Back on plan today and been to Zumba this morning. Dreading tomorrows weigh in but need to face up to things I guess.

I'm in hotels for two nights again next week but it's beginning of week rather than end of week this time which will be good

Good luck tomorrow guys and girls and I'll catch up with you tomorrow afternoon

Morning! 1.5 lbs off today, which takes me to 2 stone lost (at last!!!) and 8.1 to go to get to my initial target of under 10 stone

And I am getting baptised this morning too, what a busy day! Lol
Hope you are all well
