Slimming World - Extra Easy weight loss!!

flowerscotland

Good evening all Can I join in please ? I need all the help you can give me ! :rotfl:

I started sw on Tuesday, I've got more than I care to admit to lose I have lost about 4/5 stones over the past 2 years with weightwatchers and going to the gym etc. But I found with ww it was getting harder to stick to and I was just eating rubbish, as I would point it, then end up starving

I did sw for a bit after I had my daughters and I lost weight on that, so hoping to again.

Trying to be more healthy and go for walks and stuff too, I've been for three this week, and I usually drive everywhere.

I'm doing easy extra as I find that the best, I can have meat and pasta etc, I am prone to very low levels of iron and b12, so I need a bit of meat in my life

Anyway I will stop waffling now !

Hi De1amo, this thread might be more helpful for you

The people on there are losing weight by counting calories. The first post takes you to a site which helps you to set your target calories, and you can also input your daily calorie intake and record your weight loss over time.

Hope this helps

Oh I'm so chuffed just had to share - I'm sat here in pair of trousers that I haven't been able to wear for four years and I do believe they fit me better now than they did then!! It's strange though because I don't feel as 'small' as I did back then - I keep looking at myself in the mirror (:D) and trying to tell myself I must be that size again if I can wear them lol

EE day today

bf - oatso simple (HEb) and banana

lunch - 3 pears and a banana - didn't fancy anything else

tea - pasta bolognese with 42g cathedral city lighter on top (HEa) and lots of salad and cottage cheese with onion and chives

supper will be 2 slices of fresh pineapple as usual and when I go chippy in a bit for my sons tea I might pop into Tesco and see if they have some strawberries - feel like treating myself

WOW! Well done on losing 4/5 stones!!

I started last Tuesday too! Am dreading my first weigh-in as I deliberately haven't stepped on the scales, so no idea if I have lost or gained so far.

I am sure that I would lose more if I was more active - I lead a very sedentary life (actually horizontal a lot of the time) due to illness. I am just under 12 stone and in an ideal world I'd like to lose 1.5 stones, but i'd be delighted if I could get under 11st.

Thanks Daisy I can't actually believe it myself, when I look at pics of me I can't believe how I used to be :eek:

Sorry to hear about your illness but I always think if the weight comes off slowly then you're more likely to keep it off :T A friend of mine would lose 5 and 6 pounds a week and she would pile it back on so quickly, she went on holiday for 5 days, didn't stick to the diet at all, and put on ten pounds !!!

Good luck for Tuesday, we can do it :T

Thats easily done!!! As long as you enjoyed them thats the most important thing!! I love the crispy chilli nuts 7 syns for 28g... and 28g certainly doesn't get you far! I end up eating half the packet in one sitting!!

Not had a good day again I've had 19 syns so far today!! Curse of the poppadoms again lol.. but then i'm sure i burned at least 4 syns worth of calories 2day! Hehe!

I reckon you've burned off some of your peanut syns with that 4 mile power walk

The charity walk went really well thank you It was great fun! It was hot but the breeze was lovely. I felt fabulous after, really rejuvenated and felt like i had achieved something

I think the fact i've lost 2.5stone really made a difference as when i done it in 2008 i was exhausted after and struggled throughout!
