Lose weight in '26 with Slimming World & SWIP's.

maman

I think we cross posted yesterday and I missed your loss @milann . Well done on your 1lb and getting that stone off that you wanted. 👍🏼 Does that mean you're at target now or do you have a new goal?🤔

It's a hard way to lose weight @Glad but if the sickness helps then it'll be a silver lining. 🤞🏼 Just out of curiosity, do they sell diet lemonade in pubs? I was just thinking it would make a big difference to the swips in a shandy.

Sorry to hear that you're back to the hospital visiting again @Jellybaby .☹️ Perhaps you'll be able to influence the caterers soon to produce SW food.😁 Now that your DB has arrived, I do hope things get easier for you. 🤗

Hope the weather is kind to you @Coxy11 . We have the same baking hot weather as @bubbs (sorry @beanielou and @Jellybaby) , forecast to get to 28 degrees today. I've had that chance meeting thing happen to me too. A colleague ended up in front of me in the queue to see the Bayeux tapestry (when it was in France😉).

What with your thumb and the hot weather it must be very difficult to sleep @joedenise . Hope you get a better night tonight. 😴 Your menu sounds very normal, hope Joe copes OK and you don't get too frustrated.

Today's plan-
B- Fry up (fibre, P,F), milk for drinks (calcium1)
L- Spanish omelette and salad (P,S,F)
D- Tom Kerridge type bacon and tomato pasta (P,S,F)
Swips- none planned

frustrated by lunch - my fault not his! Only had one small pepper left so we had a toasted cheese sandwich & pickles so still SW friendly but will need to swip the cheese as need milk for drinks!

Hope your hand is doing ok jdenise. It’s so frustrating doing things with one hand. I’m 3 weeks in since I dislocated and fractured my elbow and could take the splint off yesterday….i did put it on when I went out just for reassurance as I didn’t want to knock it. It’s my shoulder that’s giving me more agro though than my actual elbow. I had an MRI on that on Monday and go back on 10 or 11 August. I still can’t bend it to my mouth so everything is either finger food or just a fork 🥴. I’m presuming if necessary they’ll transfer me to a hospital where our new place will be as we’re hoping to move before September.
im not at target yet - still have at least a stone to go…ideally 1 1/2 stone. I’ve been hovering around the stone for at least a year…..I get a couple of LBS below then end up a couple over again.

Evening all 😁

Denise, it is frustrating i know when i had my carpel tunnel done, couldn't even open a door with that hand for 6/7 weeks, hope it's not long healing but be careful.

Jelly sorry your back at the hospital 😢😢

Glad sorry you was sick, hope you are feeling better now.

Maman it was 29 here when we went shopping at 9 am 😫😫been a killer again today.

Has anyone got any ideas to help with constipation , yes i am still suffering, i take 2 senna and 2 laxido a day 😢I should never be constipated with the amount of fibre i eat, let along taking stuff as well!

Lunch , free

Tea 4 swips and fibre

milann

I used to be prescribed ducalax (I think you can buy it over the counter) and up your water intake Bubbs. Am I I right thinking you take N@pr@xon……keep your eye on things and go to the gp if there’s no movement as that’s what gave me all my problems needing surgery. Take care 👍

bubbs

I take tramadol and naproxen, duno why as neither bloody work 😫i also drink litres a day always have done, i am naturally a big drinker, the doctor gave me senna and laxido , DH said speak to the doctor again, i will try and get an appointment

Suffolksue

senna does nothing for me ,but Laxido daily and Dulcolax every few days seems to help

This is not advice just ‘lived experience’,😀

Afternoon all, another day of not doing anything much. Had a dental appointment to replace the filling I lost in France last month so that's it for another 6 months.

No advice @bubbs as not something I suffer with very often and when I do a good walk usually helps especially if there's no loo around!

Today's plan:

B - toasted cheese sandwich, pickled onions - Fibre, calcium; S
L - corned beef hash - S; F; 5
D - pork steak, jacket potato, veg - P;S;F

Fibre - bread
Calcium - milk, cheese
Swips - corned beef 4; horseradish 1

Have a good day everyone.

Evening all 😁

Thanks Sue .

Denise, hope your thumb is feeling better? I had never suffered until i started tablets for my shoulder and always used to say, don't know how anyone can be constipated if they eat healthy 🤣 now i know that is not true!

Still hot here but not as hot as yesterday thank god!

Lunch,

Forgot to take a pic, picky plate and 2 sv for ryvita cracker bread.

Tea, fibre, dressing was yoghurt dressing
