Bescks81 - I just changed from a Monday group to a Thursday there a few weeks ago and finding it has worked better for me. I'm always the heaviest on a Monday after the weekend vices!

I drink Green Tea with Mint all day in work to try and help with bloating - I'm at the toilet every half hour - I'm sure people are talking about me!

So great news to report I'd 3lb off last night, 3 stone 3lbs in total. Was very pleased with myself:T

To all those that are struggling don't give up - I'd only a 1lb off last week and half a pound the week before. The week before that was a 1lb gain. Sometimes your body just won't play ball! I'm feeling good today and the 3 lb off has been good for my motivation. Hopefully I'll meet my 6 week and Christmas Target - but if not I'll make a good stab at it.

Anyway I'm really hoping

:j:j

Lantanna great result really well done that is brilliant you must be so chuffed fantastic

Giggling at the fowl jokes

Frogga that's part of working I don't miss - getting sworn at my pupils and parents hope your okay tonight and haven't let it ruin your evening x

I'm a going to group member as if I don't have an aim or goal I struggle with motivation after about 5 days
I can't even just go for a walk? I have to be going somewhere?
Think I'm just a loon though
Annoyed though as all the Facebook groups etc linked by the consultant aren't secret so anyone can see I've joined slimming world and due to my lack of motivation I don't want the world knowing just yet? Would rather just post some pics on of me n the mini at Xmas me looking less potato like

Those who have put weight on - draw a frogga line under it and tomorrows a new day

Decided to treat me and mini Mildredd to a nandos today - wont be repeating - ended up with no super free - they had no salad so ended up starving corn on the cob and half a chicken between me n the mini (ordered her chips - didn't even have one!)

Feel like at the moment I'm just breaking my bad habits food wise - not sure what to expect on 2nd weigh in in terms of loss though
Rambling now so gonna shut up

Hi Mildred

Thanks for laughing at my jokes believe me they can be worse

Well done on no chips in an dos that's impressive

For second weight loss just do best and see how it goes it can be so hard to predict with best will in world

Rambling. PLEASE mildredd you don't know the meaning of the word :rotfl: go and read back the posts loads of us have written if you think you ramble

I always do the Irish how to make a short story longer bit keeps the character in it that's my excuse ;-)
Put in as much as you want as often as you want and ramble away please

Just reading back over the posts.

Frogga you are very inspirational:T and thank you for taking the time to co - ordinate the 6 week challenge.

Since I started on here 21 weeks ago - that's how long its taken me to lose 3 stone 3 lbs btw for those that are interested Maman and Blowden are the only ones that are still posting from then!:T. I have lost a heck of lost of posters along the way.:rotfl:

I think we should all give ourselves a pat on the back us oldies, the newbies and the in betweeners - I'm convinced this forum definitely helps motivate etc. I hope to still be posting when I'm at target (whenever that may be):rotfl:

Menu for today

B: Muller & Oats (He)

L: Pasta, Quorn Sausage (2 Syns) Quorn Turkey Slices, Brocoli, Mushroom, Onion, Pepper, 40 g Cheese (HE)

Pineapple, Melon & Mango Slices

No idea yet and then the Gin will come out as its Friday :eek:

Anoneemoose

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I was considering going to class as there's one over the road from me but I know my weightloss will be painfully slow and I always feel a little embarrassed if I've stayed the same etc.

I have been recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia so although exercise is supposed to help, I also get the post exertional malaise which means I can be very inactive a lot of the time. I know they say you can still lose weight without exercise but I can't help thinking it keeps it ticking over smoothly! I was also told at some point that someone with Fibro has a slower metabolism by 25%.

I also have PCOS which means I should try and limit refined carbs!!

In the past I have used these reasons as excuses in a way but now I have decided that although these problems are there, i should still be able to lose some weight even if it is really slow to come off.

Sorry for rambling - am just trying to decide whether to go to group or not. In the past, when I have mentioned my ailments to the group leaders, they have always said "you'll still lose weight if you stick to the plan". And whilst I believe it is possible, i don't always think it is as simple as that. I trained to be a SW consultant many years ago and there wasn't then a lot of training on medical conditions (which I suppose is fair enough) but it was literally, if they stick to it, they will lose. I was proof that wasn't always the case and I kinda want someone who 'gets' that and will support me rather than tell me I must have done something wrong IYSWIM?

I have been having a look at the recipe thread and there are some great things on there. I have also been trying to think of things I can have so as not to get bored like I used to because I ended up eating the same things.

Anoneemoose, I don't go to a group, I am an online member but I find this thread is more supportive than anything else I've tried if you come to it regularly and get involved - I was a 'lurker' for years just reading people's stuff but found writing is much more motivational. Whether you decide to join SW group or not, don't worry about slow weight loss; everyone is different and sometimes slow and steady does the trick much more efficiently than those who lose a lot quickly and then find it goes back on again with one good night out!!

All the best with whatever you choose.

Lantanna - that's an amzing loss - I wish I could do that! I've lost 1.5 stone in 14 weeks & now having motivation problems!

I'm starving today Trying not to eat again until lunchtime in case I get this job, lol otherwise I'll just be eating at my desk all day as I've got used to eating as & when Fruit salad & yoghurt won't do it for me for breakfast when I've got busy mornings. I have however, bought my first dress (other than my wedding dress!) which I will wear to an interview - I don't look 'great' in it, but it's passable!

Whats the lowest syn indian takeaway? Is it something like Mushroom Biryani? I think hubby's after a takeaway tonight

I would got for a chana Dahl (chickpea curry) with plain rice & Bombay pots or sagg aloo - all for 12 syns! (Chana Dahl = 5syns, Bombay pots = 7 syns)

If you wanted some meat with it - I would get the chicken tikka (not in sauce) & count couple of syns

HTH x
