1/2 lbs on for me again, i keep yoyo-ing each week!

good luck nicole!! Fingers crossed itll be a loss xx

weigh in actually went well for me which i was surprised about because even though i'd tried to stick to plan all week i had felt big if you know what i mean? 2.5 pounds off last night which gained me my club10 award! that's 10% of my starting weight off for those that don't do sl1mm1ng w0rld. 2 pounds away from my one and a half stone award x

thanks lesley and well done! It is really disheartening when you weight sticks! bet your pleased you can see progress again x

one of the guys in my group last night lost 10 pound in a week! he did go the max of the plan to lose it for example he could count on one hand how many syns he had for the entire week, he only had his b choice 3 times and pretty much ate the speed food and lean meat and that's all but still a whole 10 pounds !! and he did have the motivation of him and his partner had been chosen to go to sl1mm1ing w0rld head office as one of the couples in the couple of the year competition.

Maintained :( well at least its not a gain might be next week though had two days of eating rubbish and now feeling guilty for it, going to have to be really good for the rest of the week

maintain def better than a gain x

So jumping back on my wagon today, think it will be a combination of reduced carbs and SW! So shall see how it goes.
Started my new job today so hoping being a bit more busy and having flexibility on lunches and stuff will make sticking to plan a bit easier. Bought some yogurt and berries today and haven't even thought about eating so will leave those in the fridge for tomorrow instead.
Also bought myself one of the " motivational water bottles" so I remind myself to drink enough throughout the day :)

Sounds like you ladies are doing so well! a maintain is defo better then a gain! 10lbs in a week, I think I would cry!

Your hiding skills are way too complicated for me GF lol I do dancing classes mainly (beginning with Z and the other in the dark with glow sticks) I love them and I combine mine with water classes before hand. I also have a PT session on a Thursday which I surprisingly like now.

MissCaffiene, I am not sure hoe I do it but I am just focusing on my dress fitting and every time I want something bad I have been telling myself will this stop be looking the way I want to. I am not going to lie it has been really difficult but you just got to try and get into some good habits. Drinking plenty of water, veg and fruit (more veg than fruit) and cutting the sugary bad things will help but whatever you do be kind to yourself x

Weigh day for me today and I am hoping for at lest 3lb off

fingers crossed for us both xx

1/2lb on agin for me today. i feel like i cant get back into it!!! ill try hard this week (after tonight and tomorrow :O lol)

I got on the scales yesterday and I had a 2lb loss from the lightest I've been for ages. My weight goes up and down and I thought maybe it was because I had not been to the gym and pumped up my muscles in almost a week. I got on this morning and still the same so I am really pleased about that. Just need to get rid of the next 4lbs and I am hitting the next stone down.

Maintained but I'm happy with that I haven't been on plan all week and have enjoyed some bad treats so got myself back into gear this week and hoping for a loss next week.

Well done Lesley! We'll both get our next half's next week! x

Hey Lesley on bSD are yiu counting just calories or calories and carbs- I count both calories and carbs and try and eat under 50gs carb- this means limiting my fruit intake- when I do go over calories and carbs it's normally I've eaten a blood orange lol- it's mad to think that you think you are bring hralthy eating fruit- however as I have found I was eating way too much and it was probably having an adverse effect!

I am out tomorrow night and will be drinking but found vodka Fonda and lime has very little carbs and only 65cals :-)

Michelle, I am counting both, trying to keep carbs down is so hard but generally I am averaging 850 cals a day. I get told off by my app every day though as it says I am not eating enough! I know I am because I am rarely hungry. I have been sticking to strawberries and blueberries as my fruit. Got a massive shock when I ate beetroot the other day, who would think beetroot is so high!!

GF, I looked up your classes and look good, I love the classes I do but I really am impressed with myself now I can do leg presses of 120kg, and lunges which I hate, squats all the time and lifting some decent weights on my arms. I have a trainer who really pushes me but because I have a bad back he is helping improve that as well. I never would think 6 months ago that I could do the things I do now! I actually enjoy going to the gym!

good luck with your op Tiffany x

Maintained again eurghhhhhhhhhhh been on plan all week as well, I'm grateful its not a gain but frustrated its not a loss.

Going to try the 777 challenge this week: 7 syns, 7 speed foods and 7 glasses of water for 7 days... wish me luck

I lost 1 and a half so got my first half stone. I am so happy it is untrue! Cried at the scales and everything. It has taken me 2 years to lose half a stone, every time I get close something happens and I put on. I feel like I have finally turned a corner!

Stacey, the 777 works even if it is to focus your mind. Otherwise you can try 10 different speed foods a day, that is good too

Well done everyone else and Nicole, you will get it next week x

That's fab news Lesley well done, really pleased for you!!! :)

I'm hoping it is going to refocus me think I've been slacking recently.

Congrats ladies on all the great losses here and commiserations to those who've not been so pleased

I've been flip-flopping since Christmas, currently 1.5lb above the lightest I've been, had a 1/2lb gain yesterday. I need to stay to group like I did last night as I love the success stories and it focuses me

but my willpower is shot atm I'm working in the center of town and get in early so was tempted today by a mcmuffin gah it's not the only one I've had in the last month either. I need to sort myself out and prep/take meals rather than buying junk on the high street

well done Stacey that's fantastic!

I had a 1.5 pound loss as well bringing me to 1 stone 8 pounds overall and I got my 1.5 stone certificate :) i'm over half way to my target now and only 6 pounds until my 2 stone!

xx

absolutely! honestly this is the first time in around 4 years that i have felt that i can actually get there and it's fantastic! so pleased for us all x

Lesley thats amazing! Make sure to enjoy your holiday! x

well done on your loses ladies!! xx
