Spring into Summer 2012 with Slimming World

Only a half pound over the 3 weeks. And nowhere near target. Started at 18st 2 and now 16 st 5.5. So long way to go. Got to my target for my birthday last week but I now have a new target for my holiday in Aug and feel I have no chance at this rate. Want to be 15 9.5 by Aug7th.

Welcome jill, we all get disheartened sometimes but just look at what you've acheived already! Wow!:T
Sometimes I believe our systems can get a bit complacent and need a bit of a kick or again we can cut a few corners from familiarity. What I'd suggest:

• go back and read your book carefully as a reminder
• make a meal plan/shopping list and then do a food diary of everything that passes your lips in the coming week
• plan in something different to normal like a few new recipes, some new SSs, different HEXs
• perhaps plan in a few days of Success Express (two thirds SF) to shake you up a bit

if you already do all these things. If you want you can post your daily mealplans on here and we'll take a look and comment if we see anything untoward.

Well just made my omelette , and used 4 eggs.I couldnt manage all of it so i reckon 3 should do it in future. I think i ate around 3/4's . Will be reheating in the morning and having for breakfast (should be ok shouldnt it??)

Feeling stuffed now- wont be having the chocolate pot at any rate.

Did anyone watch Secret Eaters last night on Channel 4? I was shocked at how many calories were in the sauces that the daughter was having with her McDonalds. I am terrible with ketchup although I don't have it much now I'm doing SW but it has been a hard habit to break.

I can't believe how stupid the people on it are! I can tell you exactly what I ate today, and when I was heavier I knew precisely why I was heavier - too much crap, not enough F&V. Idiots.

Have had a really lovely day today. Went for a Spa day with my DD - my treat for all her hard work at Uni. Can't believe I had a full body exfoliation :eek: and hot stone massage. Believe me, I wouldn't have considered doing that pre SW. And as for the disposible undies they give you to wear - no way would I have fitted in them before. Added a facial each and then spent lovely precious time together chatting, swimming etc. So, feeling very pampered and very chuffed.

And I've stayed on plan! How good is that?!

Tonight I made the Paprika Pork One-Pot recipe which was in a recent SW mag. It says it's free on Original so I'm hoping it's also free on EE??

Anyway, I made it more like a casserole rather than doing it on the hob as there were 4 of us to feed tonight and it was wonderful. I have just realised too that I forgot to garnish it with snips of parsley which is still sitting on the drainer!!:D I did some baby new potatoes which I roasted in the oven with frylite.

Dessert was SW mousse (Quark, sugar free jelly and muller yog) and fresh strawberries. Everything was polished off by everyone.

Hello all........I am back from our short break, feeling refreshed and raring to get back into SW things. I think I've gained about 3lbs which isn't bad considering I drank 3 bottles of red wine on Saturday night(first drink in almost a year ), although I threw most of it back up yuck! And, I ate lots of yummy scrummy food! Kids are still off school for a few more days so will get back to 30 day shred next week but starting from day 1 again. I feel like I need to start from the beginning because I've missed almost 2 weeks due to injury and holiday! So planning 3 days a week of shred, 1 day of banish fat boost metabolism and 2 days swimming.......that's the plan anyway!

Vicki, I read through your posts and see you have been over-doing it! Naughty, naughty!!! Seriously though, 3 times a week of shred is plenty...I've always been under the impression that it's meant for 3 days per week and not every day use? Unless I am mistaken of course, in that case I apologise! I would never do exercise like that every day though, your body, especially your muscles needs a day to recover.

I thought it was meant to be done 30 days consecutively...finished it now done BFBM three times it's soooo hard! That says on the beginning to be done 5 days a week...think that's going to hurt!
