Spring into Summer 2012 with Slimming World

My SW weight loss journey so far:

-4
0
0
-.5
-1
-.5
-.5
+.5 :(
-.5

then today -2 :j

Believe it or not, I have actually been really good pretty much every week and no one in the class could understand why I wasn't really losing.

I was thrilled with my -2 today and the only thing I can really put it down to is that I have really made an effort to drink lots - and I mean lots - of water.

Just wanted to mention this as it may help anyone else who is struggling or doesn't think they are getting the weight loss their effort deserves.

Well, I for one think you bloody well deserve your -2 loss, it shows you have stuck with it, some lesser mortals ( inc me ) would have given up!
very well done and keep up the good work! :A

Well I went to the pub with some girls from work today - now on the plus side I managed to order a superfood salad ( leaves, raw broccoli, raw green beans, edame beans and pomegranite seeds with a side dressing which I didn't have) served with chargrilled chicken. The menu said it was less than 400 calories!:):)

So then I slipped up and had 2 small(ish) glasses of rose!:mad:

You see the thing is i kNOW that I can't drink in the day any more - I came home, fell asleep and have since been battling the munchies ( i always get them after I've had a daytime drink!)

So OH is making fishcakes and i am resisting biscuits and tortilla chips.

still, that's the last of work till June 12th - and we survived a street party lunch for 138 kids ( although all the promised help setting up failed to materialise) - I didn't dare moan to the boss today because I was so cross that I would have erupted and really told him what I thought!

We have a meeting first day back and I will give him the edited version!!!!!! When I've calmed down...

I have done a few green days but mainly EE.

Maybe try some red days? I'm doing green i know all the carbs don't suit everyone, but I'm losing well on green.

The only other thing I have done differently is how I use my syns.

I was using them mainly for wine (a large glass each evening) but last week I cut the wine down to a couple of evenings and on the other days I used the syns for extra bread and mayo to add to my heb and have a sandwich for lunch.

I may have been too reliant on free and superfree foods before and perhaps adding the bread made my day's food more substantial?

I don't really care if it was the extra water or less alcohol that made the difference but I just hope that this week was me turning a corner rather than a blip.
