Be Fab not Fat in Fourteen! (welcome to the Slimming World Support thread)

Trow

Weigh in today 2lb loss for the challenge for Trow, week 1

It was higher midweek, but its coming up to TOTM, and I always get a little heavier then.

I tried a Davina workout this morning, that involved interval training - and I gave up as I knew I wouldn't be able to do the whole thing - it was very focussed on muscle toning, and I think I need to focus a bit more on cardio at this point in time. I didn't give up completely though, I chose a different (cardio) workout DVD and did that one instead. Will try and do a workout at home OR a long walk 3 times per week, plus a zumba class. I'm still waiting for my books to come, so don't have much clue about body magic yet. Hopefully I'll get them this week!

Todays menu (green day):

B - mullerlight and fruit
L - baked potato with cheese (hexa) and salad
D - Bean goulash and courgette dumplings 7 syns (for the flour in the dumplings) with roasted veg (to use up some of the 1 and 2p veg I bought the other day!)
Snacks - tinned pears (hexb) alpen lights (hexb)

Does anyone have a underactive thyroid? Does this make any diffrence to weight loss

I have under active, it wasn't diagnosed until after I joined SW so not sure of its impact on weight loss although I'm sure it was one of the factors in me putting on weight in the first place x

The half stone stickers keep me motivated but I am enjoying the personal sense of pride as I am starting to look a lot different and I am happier and more confident when in public with my dd? Xxx

Mildredd, that's a great NSV! Well done..

I've succumbed to Toffifee's today anyone know how many syns? I only had two and that's just under 100 cals so 5 syns at most i'm guessing!

I should have the remainder of the day in the bag though

B - fruit - pineapple and melon
L - Chicken tikka salad, 1/2 jacket and cheese (0.5hea)
T - Chicken and pasta, 0.5 hea cheese, passata, veg
S - toffifee (5?) crisps (6)

Haven't had a HEb but don't know what to have and don't feel hungry at the minute so i won't force myself to eat just for the sake of it.

Some good losses already i see, i can't wait to weigh in on Wednesday.. always love the first week weigh in - if only every week could be as good :rotfl:

Online it has 2 syns per toffifee, so you have another syn to play with

Planned to go to boot camp at 12 but slept badly last night and woke up with a migrainey headache which I'm still trying to shift... but so far stuck to my planned food diary. Hopefully headache shifts so I can get to boot camp tonight!

Food diary today:

breakfast (at 1pm!) 1 weetabix (HEB), SS milk (HEA) and banana
lunch - salad with fridge raiders (1) and a babybel (other half of HEA), mullerlight, apple and 1 alpen light (other half of HEB)
dinner - 2 sausages (4), leftover roast potatoes, egg and beans, followed by strawberries, blueberries and grapes.

Could I join in too please? I've had success with SW before but then it all went horribly wrong........ I'm 43, 5ft 4" and (whispers) 14 stones. I'd like to be about 9 and a half stones. I feel rubbish and unhealthy, but have been to the supermarket and stocked up and also did some batch cooking at the weekend. Today's food diary will be:

B: 2 slices wholemeal bread from a small loaf (HEB) and a banana
L: Ainsley Harriot Couscous (3 syns) with olives (1 syn), tomatoes, mushrooms, spring onion & Salad.
Mushroom Stroganoff & Rice (1 syn)

Snacks - Muller light, apple, banana, Ainsley Harriot veg chowder soup (4.5 syns) 250 ml semi skimmed milk (HEA)

9.5 syns for the day. I'm having a "dry" January so that should help with the daily syns

Hi all,
I'm thinking of joining SW this week but can't decide between online and group. I really don't do with the whole group thing and it makes me want to crawl into a corner so I guess online and support from here may be the way to go.

I used to be a svelte 8 -10 until I hurt my back and had to undergo. 2 lots of spinal surgery and I ballooned to a 14 between meds and being unable to exercise. I am still fairly immobile and on large amounts of pain meds so I need to do something to get rid of the extra weight.

I am 5 ft 5 inches and 11 st 10 lbs:eek: I do all of my cooking at home and don't often have a takeaway but my downfall is high fat foods. I adore my nightly panacotta, I cook a lot of Indian And Chinese foods. My whole family is riddled with diabetes so I early have to get this weight gain under control now before I develop it and being in my mid 50s it is in the post unless I do something

Do people find that online membership works for them or do I have to bite the bullet and head for a local group.

That looks like a Green day to me as it is all veg & carbs - if you do it as a Green day you could have another HEA and HEB if you wanted to.

Mudgekin - I've only ever gone to Group not tried online but I find group works for me as when I started I was recovering from severe depression and really needed to get out of the house, but I've now got a great bunch of friends and really look forward to going to group.

I really don't think I would have got to target doing online as it was the company I needed as much as SW, IYKWIM.

Not much help to you really but I would only consider online if I had enough motivation to stick with it (which I'm pretty sure I don't!) . Only you can make the final decision.

I don't know a great deal about on-line membership but as you won't get any RL support I can't see much difference (other than personal access to website) between getting books and coming on here. I'd check carefully what exactly on-line offers you before signing up.

If you don't think groups are for you then you could just go once and get the talk and a set of books. That'll cost you about £10 or £5 if you use a free membership voucher.
