Update - have lost 1.5lbs at weigh in today. That makes 2st 10lbs since I joined on 22nd April! I'd love to get 3st award next week but think that's highly unlikely!!!


Only 6.5lbs to my first target then I'll stick for a while and see if I need to lower it further. I think I should really aim for another stone off at least but think I'd be very scrawny at that weight for my age! Anyone any tips for saggy skin?

I have found that as we get older our skin is not so elastic as it was, I am 70 next year, but I have found if I keep skin oiled it is not so saggy, I use Argon oil but to be honest I feel its more important to do regular pampering and that dosent need expensive oil, Also found that drinking water instead of coffee has helped a bit.

But the real bonus of losing weight for me is that my arthritis has calmed down and most days are pain free, so am more than happy to have a bit of saggy skin in exchange.

Congratulations on getting to target meg!!!:T

Thanks Maman you have been a mine of information, support and encouragement, you and others on here have done more for me than attending group has, I don't stay for image therapy as I have
hearing loss and find the background noises disturbing , but I would say to anyone that yes Slimming World does work.

I'm like you tweets I signed up online for 3 months to get my head around sw but gave it up last month. I only used it for weigh ins and for looking up syns it seemed such a lot to renew it. I don't really miss it, there is much more support on this thread. Still enjoy getting my mags though.

beg sorry to hear about the gain, understandable when you have been poorly though. Hopefully you will loose it and some of its pals next week.

maman thanks for the info re the sausages. When did they change as when I joined SW online in May they were 1/2 a syn each? Things do change quickly!

well done on the loss ginvzt, just the two of us,

congratulations meg on getting to target. Well done you.:T:T:T

todays menu was
breakfast: bacon omlette
lunch: Indian chicken and lentil soup, ML yoghurt
dinner: Chilli and rice

soup and chilli both packed with veg.

snacks: Belvita (3 syns), mini magnum (9 syns), DG coffee (2.5 syns) total 14.5 syns phew cut it close today!!

drinks: water, chicken bovril and green tea.

cold still hanging around so don't fancy fruit but making sure I have loads of veg

I've started photographing my belly! Once a week so I can see if there are any changes etc - I can see some already, lets hope I never lose my phone or someone is in for a shock : )

Wispa biscuit = 4 syns :j

Sorry lantanna but the thought of photographing bellies really made me laugh :rotfl:
