New Year, New You with Slimming World

cte1111

Well done Lois, and everyone else who has lost too. I've lost 1 pound this week and got my 2.5 stone award, which I was pleased about.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to make up enough ground to get to the 12.5 pounds loss I was aiming for in this challenge, but I'm going to give it my best!

No it's not you Shala, mine is an iPad Air and I can't copy & paste very well
either, it does it in a fashion, but not like it would on a computer or lap top. X

Thanks Wiz - i'm not very technical at the best of times :rotfl:


Have I not seen beanie for a while? or have I missed her posts? Beanie - hope you haven't tired yourself out xx

Cte - well done on your shiney :T:T it doesn't matter if you don't reach your target, you've tried and that what counts.. you've got two more weeks to make a dent in it!

OK, just to clear all this up and not cause any more issues:


I set up the group in May last year as a secret group so that only members from this thread would be able to join as you'd need to be invited using an email address. There was some interest but not masses and those I saw/heard from I invited to the group. As with many things life can get in the way and I haven't always been on here or the group (though anyone could invite members and no posts needed approving etc) and when I have perhaps I should have mentioned it more regularly. Sorry for my short falls there. I am quite hurt by the fact that comments have been made almost suggesting it has been quite exclusive/we have excluded other members of the thread. Sorry if I am being oversensitive there but that was never the intention at all.


I have now changed the group setting to 'closed' this means anyone can find it and request to join. I feel this may lead to some non-forumites looking to join too as they may think it is just another general SW group however in the interest of ease this is what I have done. If others think similarly and feel it would be better kept as a 'secret' group let me know and we can update it again. I've also put a post out today asking if anyone else would like to be an admin.


Shala please could we get the following/something along the same lines on the front of the thread:


"we have a Facebook group open to anyone joining us on this thread; to join please mention it in your post and an existing member can send you an invite. Alternatively you can find it on Facebook by searching "MSE Slimming World Support" "


Obviously if members vote to change it back to 'secret' then the only way to join would be to send your email address over to someone who is already a member for them to invite you.

Oh Lush I am so sorry and want to assure you that in no way did I intend to suggest people were excluded to be honest when I asked and didn't hear anything I just thought it wasn't happening as at the time I recollect there was not much interest.


thank you for sorting it and I have now applied to join. hugs meg

-2lbs off for me please SHalamoo!

As per usual I am half a pound off my next sticker, it could well be my last but am thinking i might put down 12st 11lb as my final target weight, which would make me an even 4st.

When does this reset? I would like to join in next round please!

Had a very naughty weekend food wise but going to be better rest of the week!

Tried a SW recipe from the extra easy cookbook. Beef ragu and pasta (except I used pork mince). Turned out ok, but a bit watery. I did change it a bit too.

I also had some napolina grated cheese on top and no idea what the syns are (not on slimming world calculator). I've only had 2 syns today and it was probably only a tbsp so I'm sure that's ok.

For breakfast I had egg bites (bacon, mushroom, tomato, spinach and egg baked in oven).

Lunch I always have a pretty simialr thing every work day - bernard matthews tuerkey on brown bread (HEB) with some flora pro activ light (I'm calling it approx 2 syns for what I use), a muller light, pear and orange.

HEA is always milk for my tea
