i want to reach target by easter or sooner, i am hoping its possible :) x

What are you all having on your slimming world pancakes today? I'm thinking of having raspberries, and then some with sweetner and lemon juice (instead of sugar!) Or I might just have one or two with golden syrup!

So looking forward to it!

i am getting weighed tonight. will have put weight on i think as have not stuck to it at all this week!

good luck first dancebride!! xx

good luck to you too! i had a 4 course chinese on sat! i will have prob have put on this week xx

It's so frustrating when you measure differently but I suppose their scales are calibrated frequently. Good on you though, it's better off than on :) Oh and enjoy your pancakes. Neil and I usually have our "treat" after weigh in on a Tuesday night. Tonight's treat is an Asda pizza. Yummy. xxx

Oh dear. hope you don't feel too bad about it.

By the way its not exactly a slimming world menu but pancakes with marshmellows in = WOW!! Very delicious!

you will soon lose that next week mrsbarkertobe. you have already reached your target so can easily do it again :) x

people in my group, tend to have a good loss after a gain :) x

yes they do, but i dont think that there is anyone in our group that has two bad weeks in a row, so i imagine you will have a very good week this week as long as you are not too naughty. my h2b was supposed to be maintaining, he put on 2lb then lost another 6 again this week, but it has taken him way below his target so he needs to put a bit more back on this week :) x

You'll do great this week though hun, don't get yourself down about it. I stayed the same this week which really doesn't surprise me but H2B lost 1lb and I did more exercise than him! lol. xxx

I've not done enough exercise to build muscle just yet - I thought about using that excuse. lol.

You'll be holding much more water then hun. I'm on the implant and don't know when my time is but I'm going to keep an eye on it to see if the weight loss decrease or even gain is happening at a certain time a month. xxx

on my first week of trying to maintain i put on! think it is harder than actually losing weight! xx

That's excellent :) I think it's the clothes fitting that makes all the difference, good on you. xxx

4.5 syns on EEasy (or take out cheese and replace with cottage cheese / low fat cheese spread).

I am sooooo bored with SW right now and just can't feel satisfied :( I made the Scan Bran chocolate cake the other day which wasn't so bad, a bit dry but alright with a cuppa. I need a right kick up the bum. I'm thinking of following my old scottish slimmers plan and just getting weighed as normal at SW. I'll see how this week goes. I'm heading out for a lovely high tea with my BM's tomorrow night so not much hope in losing weight. Why wasn't i born thin? lol. xxx

i have my weigh in tonight, sometimes you dont lose but you notice the difference, i measured myself when i started sw which was on the 10th january, and i the last time i measured, i had lost three inches in all three places. so even if you havent lost any llbs, you could have lost inches and be closer to fitting perfectly into your dress :) x

I went out on Saturday night - in super skinny jeans I've not been able to get into for a year now! Was so pleased that I actually have visible results and can't wait to get this last 1 1/2 stone off :)

I bought a dress at Christmas and couldn't really fit into it but bought it anyway as it was in the sale (that's me all over really, lol). I had a party on Saturday night and tried on the dress, not only did it fit me but it was far too big for me and sat really weird. I ended up not wearing it as it made me look pregnant.
Good luck to all you ladies with your weigh ins and huge congrats to you all so far. xxx

I NEED A BOOST!!

I seem to have fallen off the diet and cant find the motivation to get back on. Last week I gained 1.5 pounds and this week I stayed the same. I even booked my venue this week - if that doesn't give me a boot up the bum I dont know what will!

Anyone else experienced this??

x

Maybe look at a picture of your dress if you have one and I think 'if I want to look good in that I can skip the chocolate/biscuit/ whatever is about to take you over'. Hopefully your desire to lose weight will kick in then. I also have a sign on our calorie cupboard (where we keep all the treats!) that says SELF CONTROL and it reminds me each time I go for a snack that I am in control, not my cravings.

Hope that helps and I really hope you get your motivation back again soon. We all have different techniques that work for us, those were just my 2.

2lbs off. Only 1 more to go to get my stone!

I have a question - are Mug Shots free on Extra Easy??

i think the ones that are free say something like only 1 % fat or something, but i think the cheesy ones have syns in them, i like the thai noodle ones and the roast chicken flavour :) x

Woo hoo, I lost 3lbs this week and the other half lost 1.5lbs :) I also got slimmer of the week. Not exactly sure how the weight has come off and not piled on as I had a few naughty days but I'm happy after staying the same last week. I want to lose another 2lbs this week to get my stone award. Well motivated now :)

Oh and nice to see you back Twirler, hope you had a lovely time. xxx
