Slimming World

Week 16 down 2lbs = 36lbs total , got my 2 and 1/2 stone cert also. Went over my syns most days as I am on holidays from work, no exercise as of yet. Onwards and downwards

I have tried every "diet " under the sun and out of them all this is the best for me. It does take being organised and prepared so it doesn't come easy.
I am also just going through a relationship break up (together nearly 4 years, I broke up with him 3 weeks ago) so all in all it has been tough few months for me, so I must not fall into the chocolate and crisps which I could so easily do!
I love reading everyones updates on this, thanks for reading mine. Val

2.5 off and slimmer of the week too, 1.5 away from my 2 stone award and 13.5 away from target. I'm going on holidays now though for two weeks, hope I don't screw it up too much!!

1.5 off for me again. It's going a bit slow for me at the moment, which is odd because I have a few stone to lose, been 100% on plan, track everything and had good losses last time round. Ah well, maybe I'm due a whoosh!

Another 1lb gone. I seem to be running at about a pound a week for the last month.

In a way I'd like it to be better, but it's very sustainable as it is. Plus I think it's going to get tougher now. On two counts actually. Firstly my BMI is now 21.5 so I think it'll be harder to keep losing. And secondly it's coming into autumn. It'll be hard to keep eating salads and stuff. Will have to figure out a more winter-friendly way to do SW.

Weigh-in yesterday evening; lost 2lb since last week!
Pretty happy with that, however I would've liked a bit more as I felt my week deserved it, but you can't complain with 2lb all the same. It brought me down to a nice round figure in terms of stone and lb, and I'm only 4lb away from my 3 stone award, so why not aim for that this week?

I'm down 6.5lb in 3 weeks.

It's amazing how it works. I spent the last few months trying to calorie count instead of slimming world, but it doesn't have the same effect. Hopefully I will have lost 2 stone by December. I'm going to get back into the gym when I start back at college next month. So hopefully I see bigger weekly losses then.

Are you based close to your college? And if not will you be relocating to a new SW branch or continuing on yourself?

I'm starting my PhD in Galway next month (I'm from Cavan) and I'm not sure whether to even bother going to a branch down there, instead I might just carry on myself and see how I get for the first while...

Week 17 down 2.5lbs = 38.5lbs total , Thrilled, still no exercise as of yet. Onwards and downwards

0.5lb down tonight which got me my stone award I'm delighted!
I did well loosing what I did, it was my Bday yesterday so I went out for dinner & demolished a huge pizza & then had lots of cake!
Next mini goal is my Club10 - only 4.5lb away.

Just got a message from my consultant that I have been nominated for Woman of the Year for my class, I feel guilty going as I do not stay to class not sure how I have motivated anyone!

Does your group have a Facebook page? Maybe people see what you're cooking and success you've had there?

-2lb. Got 2 more awards, starting to get a blingy book!

Slimming world has just been the best thing I ever did. I can now wear clothes without stressing about how I look in them or wearing a scarf or cardigan to cover up constantly. I took up running in January and it's been the best thing ever. Used to have a fear of running in front of cars and others and now I barely bat an eyelid. The confidence I've gotten back has been great but I still have a bit to go. Made some yummy lemon drizzle cupcakes and chill con carne for a taster evening tonight and we are going to find out who woman and man of the year are. I'm back on this.

just a post from a casual observer- both my mother and sister have been going to slimming world over the last 18 months- my sister has lost over 10 stone in this time & her life has been totally transformed and most importantly in a sustainable way. Well done to all who are doing involved- it can be life changing for some

Thanks for the nice post. It really is so sustainable. I can have an off day and I know i'm going to be straight back on it the next day. You can have everything you normally have, but it's a more thoughtful kind of eating (avoiding the use of the word 'mindful' :-)
It has definitely changed my life.

Week 9, down 3lbs & got Slimmer of the week for the fourth time!
I've 1lb to loose to drop down into the next stone bracket, only 1.5 to my Club 10



What are the Slimmer of the week prize baskets like in your groups??
They have been pretty crappy in my group. Last night I got 2 peaches, a banana, a tin of beans & tomato puree (that I donated myself!!)

Got my 2.5 stone award this week, not bad since the last week in April! This is the lowest I've weighed since well before I went to college. I previously lost 4 stone on another diet plan, and put back on 2 of it. So now I've that gone again plus more on top!
Finding I'm slipping a bit in motivation lately, not as strict in counting syns, having all my HeX, but this certificate has kinda put me back on track a bit. Starting Monday I'll be back as good as I was in the beginning, would be so nice to be close to target for Christmas!
