  • I think this is probably why we shouldn't weigh ourselves during the week... not that I can lecture because I do it every morning!!

    As my old teacher used to say "read and inwardly digest the following"......
    I will ditch the scales and weigh myself once a week in Boots
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    Poodlehorse: Evil cow!! Exactly one of the reasons I just can't face going to a meeting. You don't need that stress. I so know what you mean though, something like that can just throw you off your plan completely.

    I have missed the wagon all together this week. the wrong food just seems to find me.. one excuse after another, I confess:o

    tomorrow is a new day.. Well done on all your losses

  • Hi, just reporting back. Stayed the same this week, which means whatever I put on over my (all-inclusive) holiday, I've lost already, so I'm pretty chuffed. It's not every week I'm happy just to maintain, so I'll make the most of it. Thats 1 stone 8.5 lost so far since Oct.

    We were talking about making soups, and someone mentioned that they add pearl barley to theirs to thicken it up. I've made a few soups, but not put this in, so I was just wondered if anyone else did this and if its worthwhile?
  • I'm thinking of joining the online bit of slimming world, my Mom does it and has lost about 1.5st since November. She's shown me some of the menu plans, and I'm just uncertain over the amount of food each meal! The breakfast fryup sounds lovely, but no way am I able to eat that amount first thing in the morning! Actually I think I'd just feel sick cooking that at 7am lol.

    I can't attend a meeting as all the 1s near me are at silly times (5.30pm?!) or I just can't get there (I don't drive) but I'm getting married in July and really need to get my !!! in gear and start to lose this weight (about 5st to get down to a healthy BMI)

    You could have it at tea-time. SW is very flexible. :)

  • Mind if i join in? Ive started SW, a few times actually. Now realise i need to get serious about it.
    Joined SW online, theres no meeting where i live and the only weight loss "support" group is basically go, get weighed pay £2, get told what im doing wrong and come back next week. I went a few months ago and this woman i used to work with was there, shes always made snide remarks about my weight and when she saw me she said "its about time you started coming here", I walked home crying and not gone back but in a way its made me more determined to lose this weight.

    ok apologies for the essay, feel a bit better already.
