Hellooooooooooooo!
26+1 today and daren't weigh in
had a chocolatey weekend and a takeaway last night.
Back on it now.
B - Bacon, red onion and mushroom SW quiche and toast
D - Beef and bean hotpot and an apple
T - Savoury mince and cabbage
HEXA is milk in tea throughout the day and a glass before bed.
Syns will no doubt be something sweet. I never was a chocolate person, but Top Baby is, clearly!
Hope you're all well.0 -
:drool: I love that stuff. I batch cooked your recipe last week topgirl. It's on the plan for Thursday in a SP cottage pie.T - Savoury mince and cabbageWeigh in for me tonight. Once again not feeling hopeful, but still going to go.
Good for you!:T
Interesting conversation last night about 'sacking' the social team. I can see it from both sides in a way.
The social team get very little, if anything, over and above another member. I think denise said hers might give a free magazine but it does vary from group to group.
But there are people who go week on week a bit like a social club and don't seem to lose at all or even try to follow the plan properly. It's their choice of course as they pay their money and many say that if they didn't go they'd probably gain even more.
On the other hand, maybe this consultant is a bit of a new broom wants the social team to be shining examples of losing weight and isn't bothered if they leave. For me that shows she's not very good at understanding where her members are coming from on their weightloss journey.
Then there's the consultants who don't lose/gain! One group I go to, the consultant was a SW Slimmer of the Year and she's put loads back on. The group I go to most regularly the consultant has a very fat tummy but I'm not sure whether she's gained or is still getting to target.
Personally, if I was a consultant I'd welcome all comers. Not just for the money but because everyone's different. Surely it's better to stay in touch with SW even when it's a struggle (for which the reasons are many and varied) and then refocus when you can than to give up altogether.
Apologies for thinking aloud but it can't feel good to be told you're not wanted.:o:(
I'm feeling quite slim but far from convinced I'll see a loss this week. I've decided that when I get back to target, I'm going to carry on writing down every syn until I get to the bottom end of range. I've got a short holiday booked for November and I know I'll gain but I want to gain within range not go over again.:)
Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, HEB toast, 2 boiled eggs, HEA milk for drinks
L: cold pork, fried veg, beetroot (SP lunch)
chicken stir fry with noodles
Syns: honey 2.5, noodles 0.50 -
Hi Everyone
I'm hoping that you'll let me join in your thread.
I've always struggled with my weight since I was a child and am now a single mum 41 with a 4 year old daughter who I'm letting down as I'd love to take her swimming but I have no body confidence, to a theme park or to a forest High Ropes but my size and weight are holding me back. I've done most diets over the years but I always end up putting the weight back on plus a few extra lbs. Slimming World worked well for me last time so am giving it another go. This time I've luckily got back on plan before I've reached my previous heaviest and before Chocolate season but I'm still back up to 18st so I want to lose weight so we can have a more active summer next year.
I'm not going to go to meetings, I know its only £5pw but at the moment that's £20 a month that I need in my purse as I'm on a tight budget, especially with Christmas coming up as well as those theme park entrance fees and of course the smaller clothes to save for!)
I see this is a very well established group and I like the idea of the 8 week targets, it doesn't seem as daunting as looking all the way towards the final target so I will definitely join in when you start the next one if that's ok.
Best wishes to everyone x0 -
Welcome deja vu.it seems like you've made a start and you know the plan so you're on your way already!
If you want to set a small target for Halloween just post it up and kathryna will add you to the list or you could just go target free for now and think of a Christmas goal.
It helps me to post my menu every day as it acts like a food diary and keeps me focused. To me, planning and Speed food are the secrets to success. SW is designed to be a healthy eating plan for life so you'll be able to share your meals with your DD knowing that you're giving her good habits for the future. 0 -

Welcome Deja Vu. You sound similar to me in your reasons, except my daughter is older and I have a husband who I make do the adventurous stuff with her, or now she is older she can do some stuff without an accompanying adult. I have always taken her swimming though. I look hideous in a swimming costume, but I go very quickly from changing room to pool, so minimal people see me.
We are quite a well established groups. There are some that have been on here for a lot longer than me, and but we are all very welcoming of new people. We also have a mixture of those that go to group, those that do it at home.
You can join this challenge half way through. Think we have 3 weeks left of this challenge. If you tell me how much you want to lose by the end of the month I will add you to the spread sheet.
Best to get joining in with us when your mind and motivation are in the right place.Zebras rock0 -

Thanks Maman & Kathrynha
I'm still getting back in to the swing of SW menu planning and hadn't done a SW friendly shop until this afternoon so have just been using up what I have in at the moment.
B Scrambled eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes
L 2 slices toast (1 x HEB, 1 @ 6 syns) with soft cheese (4 syns) and an apple
D Poached salmon, spicy rice & salad.
HEA will always be milk for teas
Fruit for snacks today
I must say I've always been careful with food and portion control around my daughter as I don't want her to have the same issues as me so have always made healthy meals for us. My problem is when she's goes to bed at 7 I'm a kitchen raider.
I was just going to potter along until the next challenge started but if its not too much hassle could you add me on for the last 3 weeks just to help me stay on track. Could you put me down for 10lbs please as this is my first week (started on Sat) so potentially some larger initial losses before it settles down.
Cheers :beer:0
