Well done all you excellent loosers! Love this thread, it's like going to group, daily!

WI tonight. Praying for - 1/2lb so I can get my 1 stone award! Anything more than that and I'll be having sausage and sw chips when I get home!

Just reading all your FAB weight losses and trying to motivate myself to re-start SW tonight. I keep putting it off and telling myself I can do it at home as I still have all my stuff from when I did it before but apart from cutting down on portion sizes I don't really.

For me losing some weight was such a very slow process, I never "do" big weight losses and I got in such a muddle with the EE when that came out.

Just think. If you only loose 1lb every week you'll still be a stone lighterby July! All those lovely summer dresses you'll feel so much better in!

once you mash, pureed, cook, etc fruit, it has a syn value :mad:

Depends what you add, - fruits when cook convert sugars etc, but - on EE using breakfast smoothies as an example, because it's been blended it doesn't have the same "fill you up" value - it's a liquid - so while it's syn free it's not going to stop you from nibbling.

According to my Consultant anyway:rotfl::rotfl:
Well done with the jeans by the way.

Well done losers :j:j:A:A

STILL suffering with throat, voice comes and goes too. Totally fed up now

Feel a waffle coming on , sorry .
Why is it that when I was at my heaviest I wasn't afraid to wear leggings and T-shirts that didn't cover my ample botty and I wasn't self concious at all. Now though, when I am at target and slimmer than I've been since I was 18 I am SO self concious. I am afraid to wear leggings with anything that doesn't come to mid thigh as am not happy with my botty [too flat and shapeless now]. I don't mind wearing jeans as they 'lift' me a bit. Its doing my head in as I think everyone is looking at me [like they don't have anything better to do ]. I was quite happy to wander round in bikini top and shorts when heavy and didn't mind my flab being on view so why do I cover up now? I think in my mind I still see myself as big even though I have been slim for well over a year now. Think I need my head examined :rotfl:
If I had one wish I wish I had found my mojo when I was young enough for my skin to spring back into shape as that makes me self concious too. Baggy skin round my neck makes me look older than I am [46 last Friday ] but feel I look at least 10 years older. I work with someone who is the same age and she looks so much younger than me [makes me sick :rotfl:].

Ok have depressed myself more now and bored you all to tears SORRY

Not a bad day again.
Breakfast - fibre plus bar
Snack - graze box bread thing (100 cals, 5 syns)
Lunch - 2 satsumas, banana, apple, grapes, sunflower seeds (HEB)
Tea - veg moussaka (300 cals but all veg and a bit of cheese HEA), not sure how many syns but low cal and a big green salad

Will maybe have a small healthy snack later.

Had a sneaky mid week weigh today and the scales have moved a bit (in the right direction) but I'll wait to report in until Saturday when its been a full week. Defintely feeling less bloated though.

I have a parents evening after school tomorrow so will have to make sure I plan to take food with me to stop me snacking on rubbish and gorging as soon as I get home on whatever is to hand.

PS Well done to all those fabulous losers - too many to mention!

You're absolutely right and I wish I'd read this earlier. Am too late to go to group now. It will have to be next week.:(

have not had the best of starts to my slimming world week. Am trying to decide how best to go about planning as that is usually the key for me and after buying a countdown 12 weeks ago (week 12 next week), its very disheartening to realise that I weighed in last night at just half pound below where I started 12 weeks ago.

I can't blame anyone but myself as I haven't been sticking to the plan as I should and I have got myself into a vicious cycle of having a few too many syns - gettting cross/frustrated with myself and having many more syns.

I am fed up of feeling so rubbish and having nothing to wear. Today it was hot in the office so I took my jumper off only to display my bulging belly (I was just waiting for someone to say - you didn't say you were expecting..... congratulations)

so anyhow start again tomorrow. and will try to post my menus on here.

Another 3.5 lost. thats 1 stone, 3lbs in 5 weeks. :beer: Plus my 1stone award, Slimmer of the Week, and Slimmer of the Month too! :A


Smoothies do have syns, Piglet, you are correct, my bad. It's due to the fact that you simply wouldn't eat the amount of fruit you need to make a smoothie.

I suspect it's because your not walking around looking down and avoiding eye contact, your confidence is so much better now than it was people SEE you! SW mag has some excellent ideas in to shift the "years" this month. I might actually get round to reading it too soon!
