Lost 4lb this week. Am happy to stay where I am, just got to make sure I don't over eat.

Thank you xx

Well done Katie!!

I have my SW weigh in tonight - I only need to lose half a pound to get my 2 stone award but not sure if I have been good enough this week! Will be so disappointed in myself lol.

It wasn't good news - I stayed the same!! Stupid half a pound lol.

Thanks Michelle - so annoyed with myself as I was bad at the weekend :( Oh well next Thursday is the final weigh in before the big day so hopefully I will get it :) x

Never mind Nicola you have done so well. Hopefully a but of wedding nerves will help you lose that last half a pound. Well done Katie.

I am back on the wagon about 2 weeks, got on the scales and i have lose 2kg so about 4 and a half pound. I think that is the bloat from stopping eating bread all day long lol xx

1.5lb off. 15.5lb gone since April. Just over 3 stone lost altogether

I started Slimming world 16 weeks ago and i have lost 45lbs! I love it . I wont be at my target for our wedding day but i will a lot nearer than i was !

Well done Loraine x

Put on 3 lb this week because of my Hen party but I'm happy with that as it could have been a lot more. Just need to get that off plus maybe 1 more lb and then I'll be happy.

Thank you gf!! :-) xx

Hi everyone

This isn't a post so much asking for advice, I think I'm just interested to know what people's experiences are! Not sure if this is meant to be in a different thread so mods please go ahead and move it if it is! ;-)

I started a weight loss group beginning with S (rubbish at disguising names lol) in April last year and I've lost 3 and a half stones. I won our group's Woman of the Year in August and got to target in November. I've been going pretty much every week since. My consultant used to be sooooooo lovely to me, really spurring me on, so friendly and supportive and liking/ commenting on various Facebook posts I made with lovely comments, not just in our FB group but on all my personal ones too. I went through a bit of a rough time in November which was the same time I got to target, and I don't know if either of those triggered it but all of her loveliness stopped literally overnight.

I've nearly stopped going several times because she has made me feel so much like Ishe doesn't really want me there, but I've made very good friends there and don't want to give up, not only that but I want to stay on track for my wedding on August 6th. I haven't lost all of that weight for my wedding to put it all back on in the last couple of months to go! But going to group makes me feel the opposite of what it should, I come home feeling so demoralised that actually I go for the chocolate and everything. I'm trying to be really good this week as it's my hen weekend on Friday and I won't be sticking to plan then!

I decided to have a few weeks break and messaged my consultant saying I'd been struggling for a while and was going to have a break, to which she's not even bothered reply, I'm wondering if a different group might be what I need as I do want to keep going, just feeling so unwelcome is not doing me any favours.

Just out of interest really has anyone else found this - once you get to target you get pushed to the side a bit or is it just in my case? ;-)

Thanks as ever beautiful brides xxxx

Thank you GF :-D Yeah I guess because at target you're membership is free, you aren't lining their pocket so they don't really bother. She's very much someone who posts a lot of 'I made a promise to you all that I would be there 100% for you at whatever stage of your journey' and 'I'm always here when you need me' and all of that but I certainly haven't found that since November! I'm sure not all consultants are the same but those that are maybe need to have a think about the effect on people who have built up a lot of trust in them ;-) xxxx

I'm a target member and in my group we always get a mention and we help the others and give advice on how we got to target. My consultant is lovely. I was out of target for a few weeks and when I finally got back to target she sent me a card saying well done for getting back into target. The support is always there. Sounds to me like you could benefit more from another group. This is the first group that I've stayed to. Will be 7 years this November. I've been in other groups in the past and not had as much support so it's definitely down to which consultant you have.

After saying I'd do it since Jan I finally joined 5l1mm1n9 w0r1d. Definitely want to shift these pounds before next year.

Am also planning a swimming session this week and maybe trying out a Davina dvd I have knocking around.

I'm back to calorie counting. Did ripped yesterday and this morning. Dress is great, but I've also just purchased some suck you in knickers and tights to wear underneath. I am hoping that will make me look like I've got a flat stomach!!

I didn't go to the gym today, instead I exercised at home. 5 mins running and 5 mins walking on my treadmill. 10 mins fitness dvd. 100 sit ups. I'm happy at the weight I am. If I lose any more before Saturday then it's a bonus.

well done katie

I've just joined a gym, my wedding has given me a kick up the backside i needed, after having my kids I seem to be nearly 2 stone heavier and my stomach always looks bloated which annoys me as i used to have such a nice hour glass figure. Anyone got any good tips for sorting my stomach issues out? I mainly do cardio at the moment to shift weight. I've changed my diet and practically cut of fizzy drinks, just not sure what else would help especially in that area. I've also been told if you do sit ups wrong then that can make your muscles stick out wrong, is this true? and how do you do sit ups the right/wrong way?

Ever since I went to my dress fitting and it fit I've gone down hill. Need to get back on it as I've put 4lb on oops

Me too

thanks flossie will give it a go x

Oh dear Em. Far too hot for that lol x

I needed to get on it Michelle, my eating habits this week are dreadful..... Maybe tonight was a good night. Lol oh well it's done now xxx cold shower and bed
