Got my 3 stone award tonight and to say I'm delighted is an understatement! I was expecting a little gain after a big weekend so was very pleasantly surprised! I have never felt better and I still can't believe it has been so easy with slimming world. 0

Just had a disastrous holiday, up eight and a half pounds! Back on the straight and narrow now, though!
It's great that you're open about it though. Couple of people in my SW class - when they've gained, they ask the consultant/tutor/whatever the title is, to not call them out to the group.
I think it's a bit silly, myself. It's good that you're acknowledging you've put on a few pound. Personally, if it were me, I'd rather come back from holiday a stone heavier and after having a great time, than a pound lighter and miserable thinking of all the food I wanted to eat but restricted myself from.
Always make the most of a holiday. You'll get the 8.5lbs off soon enoughStarting weight was 26 stone 7 pounds.
Some people cannot hack the success of others. Don't hate......Congratulate....!!
That's an enormous loss and if it's accurate, I both thoroughly applaud your effort but also feel a bit sorry for you cos I know that's going to be extremely difficult to maintain.
Sometime last year, or the year before, I dropped a stone in a week. Needless to say it took a lot of very hard work. Of course, such dedication wasn't feasible to maintain, so when I started relaxing my exercise and diet, the stone was back in the following 2-3 weeks.
I can completely understand where Eircom Sucks is coming from. It is a bit of an over-the-top loss, but you're obviously putting the work in, so fair play.
I weighed in tonight, and I was down 4.5lbs. This brings me to my current weight of 15st 13.5lbs. So I'm in the 15's by the skin of my teeth.
I started keeping an eye on my weight about 5 years ago (random bursts of exercise and dieting here and there, but always kept an eye on my weight, just out of curiousity, even when i wasnt doing anything about it). I'm pretty certain that this is the first time in those 5 years that I've seen 15 on a scale. so I'm pleased with that.
My history of SW so far is;
(I started my weight loss efforts 4 weeks before joining SW, so my 1st week of SW was my 5th week of eating right and exercising):
Weight 4 weeks before SW: 18st 11lbs
SW Week 1: 18st 2lbs (Start Weight)
SW Week 2: 17st 6lbs (-10)
SW Week 3: 17st 2lbs (-4)
SW Week 4: 17st 0.5lbs (-1.5)
SW Week 5: 16st 9lbs (-5.5)
SW Week 6: 16st 12lbs (+3)
SW Week 7: 16st 4lbs (-8)
SW Week 8: 16st 3lbs (-1)
SW Week 9: 16st 4lbs (+1)
SW Week 10: 15st 13.5lbs (-4.5)
So if I was 18st 11lbs on the 21st of April. So that's what... 13 weeks? And in that time I've lost, despite the odd gain here and there, 2st 11.5lbs?
My mathematical abilities are atrocious, but I think those numbers are right. Works out at an average of 3lbs per week?
Crappy maths efforts aside, I'm a relatively happy camper, all in all.
I'm intent on trying to get 4.5lbs off this week, to get the 2.5 stone award (meaning I'll weigh in at 15st 9lbs). I'd be thrilled with that, but I think I'd be getting too optimistic.
However, I have put my name down for a 10k run that I know I'm not able to physically do, so that's in a month's time, which means over the next 4 weeks, I should be working out for that, which will hopefully help me out with my weight, too.
As an aside, I know I haven't posted in this thread in a while, but I'm still reading it and enjoying it. Ye guys are greatHi
I'm thinking of joining slimming world. I wanted to loose weight just doing it myself but that's not working for me I can get a stone down but then I just get lazy and put it back up again. I would like to loose about 6 stone altogether.
I find I eat little during the day and go over borde at nite and I have such a sweet tooth I love chocolate and crisps and we always have takeaway Saturday nite can I still have this in moderation of course. Also how much butter and mayo can u have I use low fat all the time? Thanks any advice ??
Personally, I find the eating plan a bit too simplistic, with SW. I calorie count, but i use the SW system as a food pyramid of sorts (as SW does encourage healthy eating, to be fair).
I find that the best thing you can do is bite the bullet and join a class. Stay, get to know the faces and go from there.
I find that having a weekly weigh in, publicly, makes you a lot more accountable and responsible for your eating actions. But that could be just me.
If you do join up, don't worry about butter or mayo. Keep using them and work on the takeaways, chocolate, etc first. If you strip everything you like away at once, you won't stick it cos you'll get fed up of it overnight. Tackle the bigger issues first and keep the smaller treats, and work on them over time. That's what I'd do, anyway. 0 -

Try not get disheartened. Just think, in less than 2 months if you had 2 off every week that's a stone.
We all want big losses, but sometimes our bodies don't lose loads in one week.
It can also take a while to really get to grips with the plan and you might need a bit of time to get your head around it, but just think of how much 2 lbs of fat looks like or two lbs of sausages, its quite a bit when you look at it that way so be proud of your loss 0 -

Well when you put it that way it definitely sounds way better 0 -
