:TMrO Have a good holiday. It's hard to avoid oil when eating out. I try to avoid bread (otherwise I can't stop) and tell myself that the oil can count as a HEX.

I'd just go and enjoy yourself. Try to make sensible choices whenever possible and then get straight back on the wagon when you get back.

I've had a really good SW day so far:

B: HEB Shreddies and strawberries, HEA milk and NAS Ribena
L: ham and egg salad with new potatoes

We're out for a meal this evening. There's a pretty varied menu so I'll wait to see what I fancy. tie, I save most of my syns for the weekend so I can relax a bit but I'm more likely to go off plan just for one meal than for the whole day. Generally it's supper unless we go out for lunch.

Hi folks, please can I re-join you? I just got fed up with it all and became totally confused about what I was doing. Anyway, I have just signed up to SW online and with your help hope to re-inspire myself! Was a little disappointed that they have no online food tracker, just have to download and print out good old-fashioned diary sheets. I've been using MyFitnessPal recently, and kind of though SW online would be like that. Hope I don't regret spending my money, but I really need all the help I can get right now.

I always think our saving grace in the main is that we dont have a lot to loose to get to where we need to be TIE if you see what I mean?
The success for me is more of less staying within my target range.I would like to be nearer the bottom but hey ho.
When I did Sc Slimmers a few years ago & got to target loosing a similar amount I put it all back on very quickly.
This time I have been at target a year this month,helped by being on the social team & having made that commitment to go each week.

This is kind of my issue here too, although I'm not at target :cool:

At 13st I more than happy, in fact I'm happy at 13st 7lb. At that weight I'm a curvy size 12 and I've often said I could cope with just staying that weight. In the last year I've hopped up to 14st 7lb and down again to 13st 7lb continually.

What I need to do is actually get to my target weight (10st 12lb) and then hop about abit up and down. In the past I have lost loads, then put loads straight back on. This time I have managed to stay at the bottom end of 'Fat' for quite a while. I have managed to reign myself in before I get too bad again. I've managed to go for weeks on plan and then go a bit mad for a while, but then control myself again.

Last year when my friends came down, they said I looked great at 13st 7lb and should have been happy to stay there. They said I didn't look anything like 13st They said who cares what 'The Book' says? As I said, I was happy at 13st, but as a 5ft 5in high Frog, in reality I was 3 st overweight

I always wish I was 13st when I'm chubbier, but when I get there, I want to lose more I'm never happy I just need to have a clear run of being good and getting to a sensible weight, and then I can have the odd weekend, or friends visit, where I can have goodies and enjoy them. Menu for the day to follow...

Last thing before I go and stop hogging the posts....


.... my friends are comming tomorrow! and I'm really looking forward to it. Have planned lots of SW friendly meals, but no puds for me other than fruit of yog. I'll be fine

Another 'plan friendly' thing about them comming down is we always go on lots of long walks so lots of exercise

Can't wait, be good everyone

Hi all :wave:

I have realised that I have put weight on, only due to getting my summer clothes out and none of them fitting :eek:

After this, I got on the scale and have somehow managed to sneak 1.5stone on - since knowing this, I look at myself now and think how disgusting I look! :cool:

Anyway, I have never done slimming world, but my mum has given me some of her books and told me to try it to see if i like it before I enrol.

I've only done it for a few days and have resisted weighing myself, I am feeling really quite good- cut out sugar out of my tea, etc. I am eating when hungry with the free foods and super free, however I don't understand how I can eat and still lose weight. I have put what I ate yesterday into my fitness pal and had eaten 1800 calories (all healthy bar 7 syns). I worked out that I need roughly 1800 to stay the same. I know there is a science behind it, but will I lose it because they are heathy calories instead of greasy burger calories?

I know it must work as I'm losing my sugar and I have just cut the batter off my baked fish.... Has anyone else ever thought it was too good to be true? I am seriously considering enrolling but I'm just a little confused.

I have read through this post and there is so much support and people losing weight that it is a great encouragement so I am really quite excited to carry on :-)

Hello all - Maman, TIE - hoping you remember me :j I have been back with SW officially for about 6 weeks now having tried to do it alone once I reached target and finally admitting I was heading for a one-stone increase . I now have a fabulous consultant, young chap called Alan, and because I decided to retire I can attend a daytime group that is a ten minute walk from me. It's a morning group so I take breakfast in with me for after weigh in. However, cos I only have a few pounds to get rid of I am !!!!!!ing about, sts lose sts gain lose sts etc etc. I am determined to eventually get those pounds off, and I tell Alan I am being kind to him cos once I'm at target he'll get no dosh from me. Cuts no ice with him :rotfl: Anyway, hoping to get some tips from you all & I've been lurking for a week and spotted people mentioning using 5 scanbrans a day for a week, so I'm trying that. Certainly gets the wotsits going doesn't it? I've found mixing a couple of scanbrans with sf squash, mashing, then adding lots of fresh fruit and a yoghurt is one way to get rid of two of the five. Another two I mix with warm water til they get mushy then add 1 tablespoon of golden syrup & a sprinkling of cinnamon, that's my version of crunchie for 2.5 syns! Is it legal?

I don't look into their website much (patronising and difficult to navigate) but they certainly used to have an online diary that totted up your syns etc. I'll see if I can find it again.

Found it, it's under "Useful Features" - Food Diary. I assume it's the same for online members as for the rest of us.

Thank you so much - I have been fussing around trying to find this for ages!!
