Slimming World

Sorry slimming world ppl I accidently posted in this thread instead of the WW thread. I've been following both but posted in this one by mistake.

I've been really interested in the SW plan it seems to really promote healthy eating and some of you are getting some brilliant results! Well done. All us weightloss ppl have to stick together apologies again for posting in the wrong thread.

Hey cupcake - that's fab!! I just joined last week so I'm waiting with baited breath for my first weigh in! I made a whole 'free' dinner today from the slimming world website. The chicken and mustard with sweet potato was lovely but the dessert - the chocolate mousse was fairly rank and just basically tasted like a put of philadelphia!! happy with the dinner though, would defo make it again!

I weighed myself on saturday morning and was up a pound. I was out on the Monday night but apart from that I was good. I changed weighing scales so not sure if that would have effected it as I found my old weighing scales hard to read.

Am dreading this weekend's weigh in after the bank holiday but you never know!

Made the chicken kiev's the other night, they were gorgeous! Am trying the chicken tikka tonight.

I was able to get the Quark in Dunnes, it was beside the cream.

Lost 6lbs this week only 5 to go and ill have 2 stone off in no time .....so happy ....:)Dont like that quark at all ....Mullerlights are a godsend ....i usually have the works for brekkie 4 times a week as i dont get hungry as quick and generally have a lighter lunch than b4 and then i have a lovely dinner ...i use my syns wisely ,mainly to make nice sauces for my dinners ,As long as i enjoy the meals im making i can see myself going all the way this time...:)

Hi everyone,

I started last week! Weighed in early this week and I'm 3.5 pounds down even after a heavy alcohol (and thus syn) filled long weekend! Absolutely delighted, it's only my first week! Cooked a lot of food Monday to keep me going for the week and am snacking on fruit. I'm loving the whole experience and don't really crave anything at the moment! Hopefully it'll stay going!

My advice ...and I think that I am going to have to take it this week too is you should really go for your weigh in! Cos then you will see you are not alone in having a bad week (I know that I did and would be happy if I stay the same). But You should put it all behind you and start afresh! Try and remember how you felt each time you were told that you were down...go for it again! It will be worth it!

polly27

thanks robo i know your right , i just had a really off week but have een really good all week and going to get my half stone next week, i will never miss a weigh in no matter what lesson learned always face the scales even if i have a bad week, hope your weigh in went well

Cheers Polly - yeh it is tough at times but we can't beat ourselves up when we have a bad day or week. Just gotta think of the way we wanna feel when we lose the weight.

I am kind of still in shock, after 2 nights out last weekend, I have lost 2 and a half pounds. That is really down to walking home from work everyday (usually a 50 minute walk) and being good with my food and super foods (veg and fruit) on about 4-5 out of 7 days!
I used to debate in my head each afternoon about walking or getting Luas/bus home and now I don't even second guess, it is automatically walking. So my next new mini goal is to lose 4lbs before Easter (2 weigh ins) to lose my first stone! And the scary part about it is that I think it is doable! Never before did I think that mini goals like this were doable!

Any one got some handy recipes that don't include mince meat, am getting a bit tired of them?

In Tescos it can be found up at the deli counter where the meats and cheeses are. Normally a white kinda tub with some pink.


As for me well my 6 weeks of walking(working to get SW Body Magic awards to help stay motivated) every feicin day was finally starting to pay off weight loss wise and then of course St Paddys happened.
The amount of alcohol and minerals, excessive amounts of milk, crisps+chocolate+ice cream and fast food was insane! :eek:

Physically feel terrible and unfit due to all that crap being in my system after being healthy for soo long. Literally was shattered!

Anyway as alot of SW folks say just draw a line under it all and forget about it. Start over!

So about to cook big batch(so can have some frozen in case I run out of stuff later in week) of my healthy chicken curry and rice. Then gonna do a simple 2 mile walk, freshen up and then do a 3 mile walk visiting some friends!

Plus I've found the best way to get extra fruit into me is to take an apple or a ready peeled orange with me on the walk so I have no other choice but to eat it

Back on track \o/ ....even more motivation: I may have a wedding to go to in feicin May :eek:

Hope you all are doing good

If you look back over these pages there are loads of examples of typical days and also explains what is involved with the different plans.

You could pop along to a nearby class to check it out before you sign up. The consultant normally gives you a run through before/after the class to give you an idea of what it's all about. You could fill out your application sheet that day or maybe take it home and have a think about it. Most folks sign up then and there! Keep an eye out in newspapers or magazines SW sometimes has that offer of €9 off registration.

thanks robo. i know its going to be all worth it, feel i could be up this week after my bad week last wk and didnt get weighed and had a bit of a bad weekend, whatever it is i will just take it and start a fresh on tuesday and get my half stone in the next two weeks, that is great that you get a good walk in everyday, i go walking every lunch hour for 15 or 20 mins , i know its not long but i feel 20 mins is better than nothing and then i go walking every evening and started kickboxing 2 weeks ago so im still on track for my goal which is at least 2 stone by the aug bank holiday and 4 stone for xmas , it wont be always easy and we will all hit roadblocks thats life but the main thing is to not give up and im going to go every week even if i have a bad one, thanks for the advice, good luck this week

So was only down a little bit today and I worked quite hard at it! Would it have something to do with the fact that its that time of the month? People say that sometimes adds a pound or two?! An I clutching at straws? I'm really disappointed!

ToniTuddle

That time of the month or the run up to it or even the week after it can cause an increase due to fluid retention and all that craic. Depends on the woman, everyone is different.

Also if you are starting to get more exercise in for the first 2-3 weeks(again every person different for me it was feicin 4 weeks!) you may have no weight loss or even a slight gain. More fluid retention to do with the muscles. But don't worry it starts to properly fall off then

Weighed myself on Saturday and was dreading it due to the long weekend but was down 3.5lbs!! So that is 7.5lbs in 3 weeks!!!

Even though half a stone is gone I still don't feel the benefits, I know it because I have a good bit to lose but would just like to start noticing the results physically.

Am going away in May and my aim is to have another stone gone by then.

polly27

well was up half a pound this week , i was relieved in one way as thought it would be more as had a great weekend but thats it now i,m back on track still have four pounds lost in four weeks, im going to a wedding in two weeks so going to have my half stone by then , i know its going to be all worth it so not giving up

cupcake123

I was the same...but I lost 2lbs last week after a weekend of indulging (Paddy's day) so I don't feel too bad. Did loads of walking all week....average an hour of speed walking a day. So I think that is having effect on my body changing with exercise etc. Yeh just gotta stay motivated and keep it up cos it is working. Best of luck everyone

I only lost 1/4 of a pund this week but it's still something. It's TOM so that probably counts too.

I have a question about the recipes on the SW website - the syns at the top to the recipes are they per serving of for the whole recipe?

robo

The week before where I lost nothing has paid off, I lost 3lbs this week & was delighted! Had a bad head cold and was considering not going, so so glad that I did. Now I just have 1lb to get my first stone! I have told everyone NOT to buy me an Easter Egg.

Oh and I finally found some decent low fat salad dressings in Dunnes today, Ceaser Salad & Thousand Island Dressing! Am bloody thrilled with that find, was getting sick of low fat French vinegarette dressing!

cupcake123

Still no budge for me in fact was up a half this week i have stuck with it and am hoping for a shift on the scales 2moro ....please god ....thats great Robo ....and thanks for the tip on the salad dressings ,i was struggling with that myself ...must go stock up with some.;)

Layla0509
