Losing in Lockdown - Slimming World Support Thread

Great news about your. son PIB  but you really should charge him some housekeeping money even if you don't actually need the money so that he is used to not having his full salary to live on.  It would cost him a lot to live elsewhere.  You can always just save it for him (but don't tell him!) and present him with a nice lump sum when he moves out.

Well done for getting back into range so quickly denise. 👏👏👏
Fingers crossed for your next WI PIB. 🤞
Busy day, had very late lunch but better than grabbing rubbish when I was out.😇

Denise i missed your post about a loss, can't see it now either 🤔🤔 How much did you lose? Well done 😁😁

bubbs

Well i had a NSV someone came to collect something from me, i have not seen her for about 3 weeks and she said bloody hell have you lost more weight? I said no, but dh said i look like i have but scales didn't say that last week!

Thanks maman. I've lost about 3lb I think  bubbs  since we got back on Thursday but I think a lot of it was probably water retention as can't see any other way I could have lost that much in a week!  The most I've ever lost is 1.5lb!

bubbs if you look as though you've lost weight but haven't you've probably lost inches which is just as good.

Wow that's good Denise

Yes true, i feel thin but the scales didn't show it! I will try and weigh in Boots tomorrow as got to pick DH's prescription up anyway

Happy to report that my expected gain came in at a stunning 1lb! Was very happy with that😀

Well done gtq. It's great to get a loss, any loss. 👏👏👏
Did anyone watch the 'How to beat fat' programme? To be  honest, I couldn't see that it varied that much from SW. The 'hacks' they recommended were cooking from scratch, lean protein, don't think of it as a diet, get support from a group, food diary, don't deprive yourself, healthy snacks, getting back on it if you have a bad day, plenty of water. Their guinea pigs had mixed success but the main failing was giving up when they were stressed or general lack of will power. ☹️

Evening all,
Well done on the loss Denise - great to get back into target so quickly after returning from your holiday.

Bubbs, I do hope things settle with OH and sister.  Always tricky if you're in the middle.  I have that a lot in my home between OH and the kids. 

Plan today:
B - porridge HEB with water, sugar (1), cream (3)
L - HM soup (had time today and yesterday   )
snack - banana
D - chicken, mushroom, spinach pasta.  Parmesan HEA1
HEA2 - milk in tea/coffee
