Slimming World support thread for 2010

Skint_Catt

:hello: Hi all and a lovely shiny new thread!

OH is cooking a SW breakfast as we've just emerged We were awake for a while but was lying in talking about the wedding etc and me thinking I would like to be preggers this timenext year

Something seems to have clicked in me since New Year - I'm so much calmer, have nearly all the wedding stuff sorted (in my head if not in reality) and I feel really happy I just bloody hope it rubs off on my weight loss too as that's still getting me down a little!

OH is cooking SW quorn curry (he prefers quorn to meat these days!) for dinner later. We're forgoing the roast for once as we had a fab meal at Mum's last night!

Morning all! Thanks for new thread. skintCatt you sound like you're in much better form. Happy Days!
I have ditched all my target dates (originally wanted to get to target which is a stone away for 17th of March) and so I feel less pressured too.
plus, I'm going on a cruise this summer and just think I hope I get slim for that and at any rate, I'm already slimmer than when I started so :T

I must confess though, I find it hard to stay upbeat on those angelic weeks where I've done 100% and still STS......It's happened once or twice and while I do believe in theory that any loss or a STS is fine, it is annoying in practice!

have a good week everyone! xx

Nic - I too have that feeling that as it's the weekend all rules go out the window as it's treat time!! I'm trying to fix that too by sticking more to plan (i used to just ignore it!) and planning my meals for the weekend too. It's a shame to undo all the good work through the week on the weekend, and I think that's what I was doing. Still ended up going for a roast dinner later, though! Damn.

Nice new thread

Hi folks

I had a late start this morning but had a full cooked breakfast the sw way it was lovely.:D
While I was cooking I decided to make a free Leek & Potato soup that i could freeze & take to work for lunches.I really fancied one the other day & looked up how much the new covent garden ones are,I was really amazed to find out it was 11.5 syns for the carton.
I have, in the past, had these quite often - no wonder i have a weight problem!!

I hope the rest of the day is as positive.

great to see everyone either losing loads or in the right frame of mind. A good start to a new thread and a new year.

I had some of Marions rice this morning and im still stuffed, Ill have to have a late lunch. Not sure what kind of day im having yet, trying to keep it neutral and decided on dinner later, it will either be EE and have turkey stirfry or green and have mushroom rissotto.

Going to drag everyone out to the local woods for a walk in a bit, every ones a bit fed up stuck in the house and its dry at the moment, and quite mild.

Hi guys,

Just been browsing the BBC Good Food website, and have come across a nice looking vegetarian recipe that is very easy to convert to a free meal on green days, if you swap the olive oil for fry light. It's "butternut squash chilli with quinoa" if you want to look it up.
I like quinoa as it makes a nice change from rice or couscous, and is supposed to be a very healthy grain. mmmmmm!

Hope this helps any veggies out there!

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After only losing 1lb on my first week I lost 4lb this week - WI today as online member :j

The funny thing is that I seem to have eaten more this week too.

Still got loads to lose but this has really motivated me

Well done debjay 5 lbs in 2 weeks is great.

I will never understand how the body works. How you can do the same things in both weeks and one week you can sts or lose 0.5 lb & the next week a 4 or 5 lb loss.

Never mind as long as it keeps coming off.

Ok so plan changed again, dad made breakfast so I ended up having a piece and bacon so that means lunch can be fruit and some tea (late brekkie) and dinner will be the same.

Hi Everyone :hello:

I was thrilled to find this thread as I have decided to join my local Slimming World group on Thursday.

I have alot of weight to lose but am determined and think joining a group will help motivate me to do it. I like the sound of the SW plans, especially not having to weigh and measure all the time and being a family of four I dont want to be cooking seperate meals for the kids.

From what I have read so far people on here are supportive and encouraging so I hope I can be of help too.

Good luck everyone with your weight loss.

Hi there everybody and thank you Consultant31 for doing a lovely new thread. You have been really helpful to me in the past.

I was at SW for around a year and lost 1.5 stones fairly well and then another half a stone which took MONTHS. So 2 stones in total. My consultant wasn't very helpful TBH and I decided to stop going to group but still follow the basic plan.

I haven't been for a year now and am pleased to say that I have not gained any of that weight back but nor have I lost any more. I do loads of exercise and feel very well but I really could do with losing at least another 2 stones.

I have had a great Xmas/New Year and eaten fairly sensibly and pretty much along SW lines. I would love to start losing a few more pounds now but I can't go back to group now because I have other commitments and am doing a college course so don't have the time.

I was still at SW when the EE plan came in and never really got my head around that and found it rather confusing.

Would be really grateful for any suggestions to kickstart my weightloss again. Thanks.:beer:
