Spring into Summer 2012 with Slimming World

yeah my first mini target is to get under the next stone (2lb to go so hoefully by next week), then another few pounds will take me to 1 stone lost

Well done Rach your doing grand!! x
I had mini targets, if I lost 3 then I would say 4 more for my half stone etc and usually I was only half a pound off that, so it gave me the incentive to work that bit harder to see the results the week after.

Another mini target was to say I wanted to stone bust ( that's getting into the next stone ) and again I would only be half a pound off.
Actually it's happened to me again this week, another half a pound would have put me in the MAGICAL 11 STONES!! Whoo woo!!
But that will be next week for me.
So keep on planning and it will happen xx

Thank you so much piglet, my first thoughts were of you as I knew how much you had lost.
It was unexpected because I thought knowing my luck I will only have lost one or stayed the same.
I was asked to weigh everyone as the usual lady had not turned up. I had weighed everyone once before and after I had finished it was my time to jump on the scales and I had lost 2.5lb, so I thought it wouldn't happen again .... and it did!
Exactly the same. :rotfl:So I am going to offer to weigh everyone next week ha ha, see what that will do for me.:D

So I have 2 more Wednesday weigh ins and then I will have to weigh in on a Monday at a different class :mad: because my flight is on a Tuesday.
I would really like to get my target at my own class because I feel that each and everyone of my buddies have been there for morale support for me since day one. :T
And another thing, I don't particularly like the woman who runs the Monday class, she has stood in for our consultant when he has been away on holiday, and its been noticed that not many people stay to the class when she is there.
So it's gotta be my own :rotfl:
Thanks for your support and encouragement! :A

so are you giving yourself 2 full weeks, plus a short week to get to target?

5.5lbs in 20 days really is it?

its dooable, but dont torture yourself at the same time, (i am one to talk, im putting immense pressure on myself to get to target (8.5lbs) in the next 10 weeks, well...11 weigh ins)

like it took me near ten years to put it on, i dont know what my big hurry is,

bags pack??:D

I am putting myself under immense pressure :mad: but it's what I really want.
I think it is dooable, 2 pound loss x 2 then 1.5, that dosen't sound too bad.
It will be just my luck to maintain or put half on instead of losing it :rotfl:
If it's not meant to be then that will be fine, at least then it will give me the incentive to carry on whilst on holiday and hopefully come back home to my target
It's been a long time since I felt so good about my body so I can wait a few more weeks if need be. :cool:

My bags are packed but we don't intend taking very much we are going to have a real splurge and buy, buy, buy Going out with one case and coming back with two.

Anyway Piglet, I really do hope you get a good loss this week, I am rooting for you.
If you can give me some ideas on SExpress meals that would be great. I need inspiration to get me away from the spuds and cabbage malarkey!!!

its sooo dooable when u break it down like that, and i wish you ALL the luck in the world, i have everything crossed for you;)

i am defo going back to Florida at some stage, the photos i have from last time are.....:eek::eek::eek: to say the least!!

when i did SE, i made a shepherds pie with LOTS of veg, and only a thin layer of potato,

also SW Burgers with no bap, and LOTS of salad, peppers, pineapples and just a handful of SW Chips,

and a big sunday dinner, with meat, LOTS of veg and again, just a little potato,

i only do it 2 or 3 days a week, and these are the dishes i tend to go with.

you could also make spag bol with lots of grated carrot, passata, tinned tomatoes, etc.

what i loved about SE and the real life saver with it was the 2ND portion of breads, i would keep a SW HiFi bar for night time, as my 2nd bread, that way it cut down on the syns also

heres to a BIG week for us both, :beer:

my next target is 6 stone award, (5.5lbs to go) and that will take me to 12.1, and then i just REALLY WANT TO SEE 11 on them scales!! then final target is 11.12:eek:

This is the recipe from Post 1 of this thread.

WI for me today and I STS so very pleased.

Our consultant had been at a SW Training weekend so was full of 'messages from above' including a team game which had everyone cringeing. One of which was pushing a third SF 'on the same plate'. What a load of nonsense! I'm hardly going to have a banana with my beans on toast am I? I think she meant at the same meal but that wasn't the mantra she'd been given. She did admit that after discussion the trainers were saying 'if it works for you then go for it'. I'm so cynical I think it may be something to do with them offering a refund if you don't lose weight - so if they make the rules unfathamable there's always something they can catch you out on. Personally, I think once you've got the basics of food optimising it's best to try ideas from all quarters (consultants, books, magazines, this thread:D) and see what works for you.

:Tmedmum (hope you managed your 10 kebabs!) and well done on your loss.

i know in theory my target is dooable... 8.5lbs in 11 weigh ins, but i am just worried because of the last few weeks i have had:mad:

been very good indeed, (as my mum said, i was being even better than i was at the start) but it hasnt shown on the scales :mad:

but i am determine to stick with it, and hope that being good will eventually show on the scales

i know what you mean about jumping on the scales, i only weigh in once a week at group, any more would wreck my head!

It will eventually show. if you can be 2.2lb heavier in the morning than you are at lunch or vice versa... you could be "target" for half the day and non target the other! fc that all the STS and silly bit gains are behind you now.
