Slimming World support thread 2

Mrs_Ryan

Ah lantanna I can definitely recommend putting a pair of your old 20's on- it's a massive confidence boost. I tried on the dress I wore to last years awards ball, which is a 22 and was tight at the waist when I wore it... It hung like a limp dishrag all over when I tried it on! I'm keeping it though as my size 22 best mate likes it so she's going to take it off my hands- her dress this year is the same colour so I've given her the size 22 cream shrug that I wore last year to wear this year. She did say bless her that she's worried about looking like a giant round blueberry next to me so I think I should take that as a compliment! :rotfl: off knicker shopping today but will pop by later as I'm off to Mum's tomorrow where the data coverage is lousy and the wifi only works in the front room!
Have a good day all xx

Welcome tazzyb - there's a few of us with young children my dd is 2 in April - so similar reasons to you for starting to lose weight. Its so rewarding to know I can chase her round the playground/park/softplay

Lantanna - urgh men! Hopefully hell realise what he's about to lose out on / meeting the beautiful Lantanna and come to his senses
I second trying the big clothes on - I've kept my big tshirts and jeans as a reminder of how far I've come shoes are all massive on me now
Go buy the lovely new size 12 trousers xxx


So today I'm trying to up the super free and drink more nas (attempt at getting a small loss or a sts on Monday)

Breakfast- apple, mango, grapes
Lunch - ploughmans esque lunch - mixed salad leaves, grated carrot, onion, peppers, pickled beetroot, pickled onions, cheese (hexa) ham, ltl mayo (1) branston pickle (1)
Dinner - salt n pepper chicken - onions peppers maybe some sw fries
Ltl mayo (1) Fruit for pudding probably 2 clementines and then ryvita minis while watching the tv

Debating making some sw hash browns for with my lunch just to bulk it out a bit and fill me right up til dinner time
So 3 syns planned and I need to keep it low today maybe another 2 on a coffee and a brew at some point

Going to attempt the 3 mile walk into town and back later I think xxx (will depend on next texting me to say my orders in though)

I often have a few potatoes with my lunch to fill me up. Ideally LO from previous day but latest lazy method is slicing Aldi tinned potatoes. They fry up really well.


I thought you have a night out planned for tomorrow mildredd. Have you planned the outfit?


I don't trust myself to weigh at home (I know I'd get obsessive) so I use my jeans as a guide and most days I check myself in a full length mirror. Vain I know but I find it motivates me to keep in check and it helped me coming to terms with my re-discovered slim shape. It's generally early morning or late at night in bra and pants. Please don't try this in Pizza Hut MrsR!:eek:


I've got as far as planning tonight's supper and I'm going to make extra roasted veg for a pasta salad while I'm at it.
Then need to do my meal plan for the week and a food shop.


Today's EE menu:
B: NAS Ribena, 2 boiled eggs, HEB toast, HEA milk for teas
L: lentil and veg soup a probable unless I'm out then I'll snack on fruit
HM burgers, roasted veg, peas, SW wedges
Syns: weekend wine:j, squirt of sauce with burgers

Wow.....a couple of days away from the thread and so much to catch up on!! Welcome to all the noobs, congrats everyone on losses and good news, too much to comment on individually.

WI last night I lost 4lbs :j:j which I was delighted about, been out walking most days plus the end of * week has made a huge difference to me. However booked a weeks all inclusive to Tenerife yesterday for the end of March so will need to be very well behaved beforehand because I can see it being carnage when I'm away in terms of eating and drinking!!

Also have job interview this afternoon, its for a job at the local bingo!! It's only part time but I've applied to go back to college after the summer so this would work out perfectly for that. Fingers crossed because I would be on my feet all the time so that would def help the losses as well.

Today is a green day......

B: Weetabix, milk, banana (HEXA & HEXB)
L: 2x mugshot, fruit and yog
Chilli cheese dogs, rice (cheese is HEXB2)

Snacks: Choc mousse (6) Hifi Bar (6) yog and sf jelly

Have a great day guys!!xx

lantanna

Well done daisy and good luck with the interview!! :T


Having a rank mugshot here for lunch as I didn't get my !!! in gear to go shopping!

Thanks to all who welcomed me- it really feels like a nice supportive thread. And more importantly- people who are in the trenches and are digging in, despite the troubles we all encounter at times.
Go for it- we can all chip away and make a difference for the dreaded SUMMER!!
