Slimming World

1 and a half off today, delighted as had my hen night last Sat night and didn't count anything, 5lb to my 4 stone award

Up 3lb.

Dropped the hifi bars this week. Ate speed with every meal, speed when I was hungry.

No idea anymore.

I'm up 2 and was a model student all week Convinced myself I'll see it next week so I won't go off the rails! Had the bolognese ragu from Iceland for dinner last night. It was OK, and easy as all I did was cook spaghetti to go with it- but it makes me realise I make a good bolognese! Would rather batch cook some ragu rather than buy it again..

Just wondering if there are any long term target members on here? How do they stay on target, iv been told only an extra heb is allowed, i was hoping for more syns but we will see how it goes...

Hi all, down 2lbs this week! biggest loss since i started SW. Kinda gave me a nice little boost to my motivation. For the first time ever its like the light bulb has switched on and I have realised that I myself actually have the power to change the way I look, if that makes sense? I'm still a long way off but hopefully I will get there!
Is it normally 10lbs that ppl say is a dress size?
Also, anyone got any tasty ideas for Salmon dinner? what I could make?
Thanks in advance, an hope you all have a good weekend x

Ladies and gents, first post after months of lurking!

Thanks for all of your great posts. I'm down 2st since April with 2st more to go. I've been finding the last couple of weeks absolute torture, losing 1lb here and there with some 0.5lb gains too. In the last three weeks I've managed to stay on track with 2lb losses. My new problem is the weather/temperature. Like Dolbert, I just want to have snacks all of the time. I'm a big fan of speed soup so I'm having that here and there. I can't kick my chocolate craving though. I frequently use 4/5 syns for half of a Quest bar or a Hifi bar but they are never enough.

I really want to lose another 1st before Christmas so I'm going to try having 3/4 speed days a week. Anyone have success with speed focused weeks?

Welcome along and well done on all you have achieved, I am focusing on having fish for my evening meal with no carbs until the next weigh in

I've kind of fallen off the wagon this weekend - definitely experiencing the extra hunger others have mentioned since the weather turned cold!
Was away since Friday visiting family and took advantage of the fact that it would be a bit more difficult to stay on plan by having a cajun chicken wrap in O'Brien's instead of a proper dinner... and they put a chocolate on the saucer beside my coffee so I ate that too... then found that I couldn't get my Liberte yogurt so picked up a Liberte fat free vanilla* and what I thought was a Tesco fat free natural yogurt but was actually full fat... didn't realise until I'd eaten a few spoonfuls!... then yesterday had a M&S salad that I think comes to 9 syns, although in fairness I only used half the dressing... and picked up carrot sticks in M&S too, for extra speed, but I ate half the hummus that came with them... plus my usual syns for the day... aaaaand today I had a rib eye steak cooked in regular olive oil (thankfully with lots of free and speed veg!) and another choc that came with a coffee AND an M&S pasta salad with sundried tomatoes and feta, AND a Mexican chicken snack pack with some sort of calorific sour cream dip... I'm done now. Well, I will be once I eat some chocolate
It's time to get back on track. My precious Liberte is back on the shelves so no more excuses! The scales will be interesting on Wednesday!!

*Think the Liberte vanilla is a new product, can't find a syn value for it (it won't be free as it does contain sugar) but it is amazing - genuinely has the flavour and consistency of a really good quality custard. One for the shopping list, whatever number of syns it works out as!

Something I swear I never noticed before is the fact that I'm a stress eater, getting hitched a week Fri and although I think I'm pretty organised everybody keeps saying I must be stressed with all the stuff I have to do which in turn has made me stressed and I'm reaching for anything and everything, no idea how I'm supposed to handle it and just wondering should I just not worry and address it after the wedding? I still have about 5 stone to loose and I didn't join slimming world to just fit into a skimpy dress for the day, seeing the process as a change into a healthy lifestyle with the weight loss an added benefit. Anybody have any words of wisdom for me??

You know body dysmorphia? I think I have the version where, despite having 4 stone to lose, I look in the mirror and think I'm an absolute ride. If it wasn't for this pesky not-wanting-diabetes-in-10-years thing I definitely wouldn't be arsed with this anymore. Arse needs to be gotten firmly in gear, rargh

I think I've a down if it in reverse! I still pick up size 16, though I'm in a 12, and still feel overweight but I'm told I'm not! It's crap cos I thought I'd be delighted at the weight I am now, but I'm not, maybe it's a case that I'm never happy

'want to be very careful' not to lose any more, that I'll 'lose my face' if I continue to lose weight

That just sounds so funny! **POOF** Face disappears :pac: Weigh-in this evening and I plan to book next week as a holiday so I don't spend by BH wishing away the afternoon until weigh-in. It drives me mad 'oh no another BH!!' and then you're not committed if you don't go/stay for image therapy. Am I the only one who gets 20 odd days of holidays a year and looks forward to having a "free" paid day off?!

Had my weigh in last night and lost 0.5lb, was happy with that as am due my 'star week', so expected a small gain or to maintain. I think I'm going to try and do sp later in the week to see if it will help shift a couple of lbs, I'm going to plan out those days as I can't see it being very easy!

Well I'm afraid to type this in case I jinx myself but I was down 1lb last night - the lowest I've been so far and I'm now 6lbs from target! :eek::eek:

We have the same amount to lose! I reached target last week but extended it by 5/7 lbs. As I said above I'm going to try and do sp for a couple of days to try shift it faster. I'm determined to be at my final target by Christmas!

Definitely up this week, took a week off as i'd reach my target so hoping it's not too much, back to counting syns after weigh in...
