We deliberately picked a monday group so we wouldn't have weekend blow outs but after weigh in to midnight Monday everything is syn free. Doing body magic as well, but to be fair, we have a german shepherd so walking her gets us more than we need for that anyway. Oh and the ****fried chicken shop was worth every delicious syn

haha well done Julie, that treat is the best meal of the week, have to make it a good one :)
I seriously find that having that treat meal can help with focusing you for the rest of the week. The last time I had a kfc I lost 2 1/2lb that week haha had also bought my dress though so was spurred on by that too.
Getting hungry but need to go shopping, that's the worst, I always put junk in the trolley when shopping hungry :(

Going to restart my weightloss journey tonight rejoining SW. My problem is snacking I really cant seem to break out of it!!! Any tips at all?
CommentAuthorNicoleW665
well done Emily thats fantastic! all those inches add up x
Stacey - i joined slimming world seven weeks ago and i have always been a big snacker but it hasn't stopped me losing weight!. I buy the hi fi bars at group which i like to snack on (2 of those are your healthy b choice) or they are 3 syns each from what i recall and i get grapes in and mu113r l1ght yogurts as they are free or low syn so you can snack on them all you want.

Emily, that's the best way to do it rather than hopping on the scales. I've stayed roughly the same weight wise for a while now but I'm building muscle but people are still commenting on my loss. It's my shape changing, not that I really notice it that much, even though I fit into smaller clothes I still feel the same.

just weighed and the number is FINALLY moving after about 3 weeks of nothing.
2lb off so far, so I am a happy bunnyc
CommentAuthorEmily17
I want to weigh myself but I am scared of my eating disorder coming back.. especially with me trying to loose weight i am more prone to it. I haven't known how much I weigh for at least 4 years. I just go for how i feel and if i feel comfortable.
It is nice to monitor it though so I can see the changes. I still have my podge so cant quite see/feel it myself yet.

Exactly Nicole, Emily, you need to be happy in yourself and your skin. Scales are not the way to go and be happy with your inches, that is amazing :)

Weigh in tonight. Feeling positive as I've been sticking to it like a champ this week. C'mon 2.5 stone award!
CommentAuthorMaxineP89
I'm so fed up. I have been back on plan for the last 2 weeks and have still managed to gain 2 1/2 lbs this week.
My stomach is bloated, my back is killing and I just feel so fat and ugly. I have already been measured for my dress and am bigger now then when I got measured. I know I still have 10 months before the wedding but at this rate I think I'm going to need a bigger dress - rather that have to have it taken in.
Looking forward to becoming the 3rd and last Mrs McLauchlan
CommentAuthorMrsC2Be
1 1/2 off today, only 4lbs for target then i can become a free member if i maintain within my target area :D yay.
Maxine definitly stick with it, some peoples bodies adapt differently. Youll get there!! xx
Good luck future Mrs W!!!

3.5lb off tonight and got my 2 1/2 stone award! Yaaaaaay!
Even though I hoped it would be a good week I'm super chuffed with that! Had a bit of a blowout today - 23 syns in total. Going to try and have an 8 day tomorrow to flex the syns. It's my birthday this weekend and I'm going out for meals twice. Wanna keep the momentum up - really don't want another gain before the wedding now. So I'm going to plan meticulously and make sure Monday -Thurs are spot on.
Maxine I agree, make sure you keep with it. Sometimes I get a frustrating result but then get an amazing loss the next week, it takes a while to come out on the scales sometimes. The other thing is make sure to write down what you eat and all the syns. Also look up *everything* - I realised that the lil tubs of nuts I'd been snacking on are about 40 syns! D: they sneak up on you! Good luck X
Well done MrsC, great loss x
CommentAuthorKathleenO17
Some great losses this week hope I can keep that up when I weigh in tomorrow.
Glad all the Christmas food and drink is out of the way at home and work now x
CommentAuthorStaceyH989
Went back last night 12st12lb had to stop myself crying on the scales never been so big in all my life, made me more determined but also regretting every treat now I've had over Christmas.
How do you get a balance between a treat and normal food??
Also slow cooker is it worth the investment and how easy is it to do SW recipes with one???
CommentAuthorJulieB11
Congratulations FutureMrsW thats amazing.
Maxine i know its disheartening but it will come off again. Last time I did SW I would have weeks where I was spot on and I would gain and other weeks of eating trash where I would loose.
CommentAuthorNicoleW665
well done everyone on your losses!
I was so disappointed this week guys, tried my hardest this week, upped my body magic, had more speed and I weigh exactly the same!!! I can tell a difference with my body, my clothes are so loose so i was expecting a bug loss but nothing, not even a fraction!

CommentAuthorKathleenO17
Nicole, it could be that the body magic was upped can sometimes effect it until the week after.
Stacey, with regards to treats I tend to try and stick to a treat meal now rather than a treat day that goes into a treat week. I also just make sure I have fruit/salad/veg on the side of everything to try and counteract the naughtiness in the meal. I don't have room for a slow cooker at the moment as i'm at my moms but I am planning on investing one when we move as I think there are useful. You can just whack in your stock/veg/meat and make very SW friendly meals. I've seen roast chickens and all sorts cooked in them on 1n34gr4m
CommentAuthorNicoleW665
That's what I'm hoping Kathleen, really hope I get it next week x

It's the exercise programme for SW it works of building up your fitness gradually
CommentAuthorMaxineP89
Been at SW now for a year and a half, and have managed to maintain a 2 stone loss for about a year. I recently had the contraceptive coil fitted, and am wondering if that may have something to do with it as everything seems to have changed in the last 2 months.
Looking forward to becoming the 3rd and last Mrs McLauchlan
CommentAuthorNicoleW665
maxine that definitely is possible. the hormones released can definitely make changed to weight gain and lethargy if that's what up i mean. it should hopefully settle down though but do keep a track and speak to a doctor if concerned

I have now lost all my extra Xmas weight so I am now on a roll :) Congratulations FutureMrsW you must be so happy :)
Maxine, stick with it and if it isnt working speak to your dr to see what they can suggest, also make sure you are drinking enough, sounds silly but upping your water really helps.
Goo luck this week ladies :)

I feel like I'm e size of a small elephant at the moment, got really bloated with my period this month which has just finished, hoping the double session at the gym today has sorted that out though.

Thanks for the encouragement - I haven't given up just yet - well I cant really - I have a dress to get in to

I'm the same Maxine, focusing on the dress, when tempted just think dress dress dress lol
Bit of a blow out over the weekend for my birthday, but back on track today hopefully. May have eaten most of my birthday cake myself :/ (it was a small cake! >_>') Hoping the scales will be kind on Thursday!

I'm feeling better about losing weight this time round, now that I know I will be getting my thyroid sorted once and for all as well means I'm a lot more positive, quite looking forward to weigh in tomorrow.
If you are a SW member and like the high fi bars there is a salted caramel one being released this week and mocha one released in March
CommentAuthorStaceyH989
1lb off...... well I suppose its better than a gain its all my fault I fell straight back into my old habits of eating a whole pack of sweets and went to the cinema and had nachos and fanta.
New week new start.
Seen a recipe for nut3lla brownies only 1.5 syns each will pop recipe up if people want it
CommentAuthorNicoleW665
1 pound off this week - more than i could have hoped as i had mcdonalds and excessive alcohol consumption over the weekend! Still it's a killer that I'm a pound away from losing that stone x
Stacey well done! and that recipe sounds fab would you mind if i had it? x

I really need to drop at least one dress size. My clothes are so tight and I don't want to buy more new clothes plus I'm at the moment the fat bridesmaid and I don't want to be.

I got new batteries for our scales the weekend and it actually made me cry! Need to loose desperately.
I bought a swimming cap too. When I start work at 10, I will go swimming before work. Because of health condition with my shoulder, it's the only exercise I can do other than walking but can only do 15 min bursts. Hopefully I'll be able to build that up to 30 mins.
Bought a tracker last night. Its due to arrive tonight. Only a cheap one as didn't want to spend a fortune on it really.
