Slimming World - II

The Lo Dough is well worth it. Definitely go the Parcel Motel route - just note that if you order multiple boxes, they are shipped separately, so you would be charged €3.95 per box.
I am not a lover of pizza, but the Lo Dough pizza is fast becoming one of my favourite lunches at the weekend - pile the veggies high on it for the extra speed.

Just spotted it on Pinch of Nom - they say 2 syns per base.

Seems to be bouncing between 1.5 syns and 2 syns per base, but either way they are a great product

I've just placed an order Had a look at their facebook page & there is links to some great ideas like this & this I can't wait to try it out.

I also placed an order for Jordan's Skinny syrups. I love them in my coffee & they are all free. I usually pick a bottle up in TK maxx but they haven't had any in stock in ages.
TRKG are doing buy 4 get 1 free promo at the moment so I ended out stocking up. I bought Vanilla, Cinnamon vanilla, Salted caramel, Mocha & Hazelnut.

They do the 14 piece box now for 28, so even if you ordered two of them, you'd still only be paying €7.90 for delivery.

I was chatting with them earlier and they are very interested in the Irish market and realise the delivery fee is prohibitive, so are trying to do something to make it easier.

-1.5 for me this week. 9 in total in 3 weeks. Missing group next week as away on all inclusive holiday for a week. Not planning on behaving myself, but hoping I won't put it all back on.

Didn't like them at all and I was really looking forward to them too! Had one bite and gave the rest to husband, he loved them

I was looking forward to the carrot cake bars. Hope they're not a disappointment. I absolutely hated the coffee ones when I tried them, and ended up giving them away. Won't be pleased if it happens again!

Today was not a good day. I've entered holiday mode a few days early. Didn't add it up but I reckon I've eaten at least a weeks worth of syns. Knowing I won't be going to weigh in next week is not helping!

Down 4lbs last night. Only managed 3 days on SP during the week, going to aim for another 2 or 3 days this week too. It's grand going but I was dying for rice or pasta. Also got the 12 week countdown - you get the Comfort book with it, some nice recipes in there.

I was down 4lbs last night, I'm back on track after my holidays! I got the choice of a free book for wearing my Christmas jumper last night. I'm going to go for the fakeaway book I think. I'm going to order the countdown as well next week. I had a look at the comfort book and it looks lovely!
So 34lbs down now in total and I'm really looking forward to the week and hopefully get my 3 stone award this week or the week after!

You know on the website how it has the weight loss graph and it has the predicted progress? I can't see mine for the future, I was wondering is this because I had 2 successive gains?
I lost last week and I'm hoping for another loss next week, so the predicted progress might work again next week.
I like it because it motivates me to continue if I see that In a months time I could potentially have lost x lbs.

Week 25 down 3lbs = 53.5lbs lost. Onwards and downwards...plus slimmer of the week (I stayed to class today) , I'm thrilled as was not expecting it!!! Friends calling for dinner tomorrow so going to have cake!

I joined SW a few weeks ago, and have lost five pounds. This is pretty crap, considering that I have a nice bit to lose, so I should really have lost a bit more by now. I wouldn't mind my weight loss being slow if I knew I was following the plan, but I just can't get into it. My meals, by and large are fine- not perfect, but not bad. My problem is that I cannot seem to get a handle on my between meals snacking. It's totally mindless, unconscious snacking. If I don't know the syn value, I practically treat it like a free food.
i need to get myself into line- I haven't really got €9/wk to waste, but I don't want to give up either!

Down 3lbs last night bringing me to 43lbs down and getting my 3 stone award! This is week 21 and I'm so happy! I had a difficult few weeks with 2 gains in a row after my holiday but I picked myself up and lost 4lbs last week and 3lbs this week. I'm aiming to keep my head straight and get my 4 stone award for christmas and get in to a fabulous white party dress that I've had for 3 years and still has the tags on it!

I joined SW 6 weeks ago and ive lost a stone
I can honestly say ive never eaten as much food while still loosing

For the people out there unhappy with their class - try a different one
I was happy enough in my class until we had a sub leader for a couple of weeks
She was amazing, really motivating and such a laugh
I have now defected to her class and Im really happy there
Even her FB page is motivational and all based on recipes

Week 26 down 2.5lbs = 56 lbs lost. Onwards and downwards...I got my 4 stone award I'm thrilled.
I have had a lot going on in my personal life so SW has kept me focused. Another 1.5 stone to target. Water and electricity back too so all in all today has been a good day!!. Val

Got back from holiday on Sunday. Got on my own scales Monday morning and it was showing a 10lb gain! That's a pound more than I've lost since I joined! WI is tomorrow night and debating whether or not I'll go. I developed gastroenteritis Monday afternoon and still feeling pretty rough.

I would like to get a countdown though. Is the offer for the free book still on? And is it definitely in every class, because my consultant has showed us the book but made no mention of the countdown offer. If I'm not getting the book think I'll text her tomorrow and ask her to put me down for holiday this week too.

Whiplashy

Dragged myself to group, as saw on the slimming world facebook page that the book offer was still on. Bought my countdown, and no mention of the free book I'm a bit wuss so didn't question her on it.

Delighted with WI though. +2.5 lbs. That's 7.5 less than I was Monday morning

I signed up last week and didn't get the book either, still didn't get it this week but didn't see anyone else with it either. I'm a wuss too so said nothing ... hoping she just hasn't got them in yet! Well done on your weigh in!

waxmelts2000

I would say it to the consultant about the book I'm going to buy it next week as she said she has them plus I follow slim with lynne on snapchat and she has them for her groups

Whiplashy

Thanks guys Our group is a bit rubbish really. The more I read online about other groups, the more I realise how rubbish mine is. I'd love to change groups but there's none nearby that suit me. I really doubt I'll get the book. I'll probably give in in a couple of weeks and just buy it. It looks really good. Considering joining as an online member when the countdown runs out.

I think hurricane Ophelia might have caused postal delays - our cobsultant said today she'd have them next week
