    Happy Birthday Lucy.

    Well done Jennyred - and I am SO jealous re Bon Jovi. I saw them a couple of years ago at Milton Keynes Bowl and they were just amazing. Hope you have a great time.

  • Hi all!

    Im new here so apologies if i seem a bit thick;) Just posted on slimming world support thread but think i should be on this one as im not going to group, not sure tho?
    Anyway, i was doing sw in jan with my mum and lost a stone but mum stopped going in april so i did too?!?
    Me and my sister have been doing it on our own for the past 3 weeks with my books. We're going to the dominican in 6 weeks so we're going at it hammer and tongues, we even joined the gym last week:D
    I lost 1lb last thurs but was sorely disappointed as id stuck to plan exactly, but, as everyone keeps telling me, it may be because i was killing it in the gym for 3 days;)
    Ive stuck to green days all week as they seem to suit me and dare i say it, i find it really easy. I've had hardly any syns and i even went to the gym for an hour and half yesterday:D
    Anyway, hope you don't mind me joining and any advice is greatly appreciated x x x

    Hi everyone, Happy Birthday Lucy :D

    Haven't been on here over the weekend as I've been getting a bit obsessive so I forced myself to stay away!

    So sorry to hear about Keren leaving but understand her reasons and hope things start looking up for her soon. She comes across as such a lovely person, she deserves the best.

    I stayed the same last week which I'm not that happy about but at least I didn't put on (and guess what appeared yesterday :o but at least I won't have that week to contend with while I'm on holiday).

    Did lots of gardening at the weekend. Couldn't be @rsed to borrow a strimmer to do something with the grass so I dug it up instead so I can plant veggies. Nearly killed me :rotfl: Was a bit naughty at the weekend. Had a tub of ice cream and a few extra biscuits but nothing major.

    Today I had shredded wheat (HEB) and skimmed milk (HEA)

    Banana and light alpen bar (1/2 HEB) at break

    Lunch - same as above

    Late lunch at 3.30pm - salad and 2 plums

    Dinner - quorn bolognese with wholemeal pasta and half fat cheese (HEA)

    Had 1 cola bottle and a tiny white choc sweet with spotty things on it from DD1's pick n mix. Going to have a cup of tea and 2 jaffa cakes in a minute and that'll be me done for the day.

    Hi!

    Well after last week and weighing myself lastTuesday to discover I had put on 3lbs..... taking 'starting weight' to 14 stone 9lbs :eek: I can proudly say I have managed to lose 2lbs :DI am amazed and have no idea how it has happened (have a sneaky feeling it may have been star week weight) but I am pleased all the same.

    But today is a big day. I am going to give SW a try again at home this time, so if I want some I can have it and not worry about the stress of paying.

    So plan for today - Green Day:

    Breakfast - Balance cereal and milk (HE A and B)

    Snack - Yogurt

    Lunch - Not sure, possibly jacket pot and salad, followed by yogurt and alpen lite bar.

    Snack - Banana

    Dinner - Quorn sausage and baked bean bake.

    I am aiming to leave my syns for the evenings when I am more tempted to use them!

    Thanks for bearing with me guys, I need to get my head straight and feel much better for it to!

    Still chugging along nicely now. Sticking to the calorie controlled diet as it seems to be working ( I've had a sneaky weigh-in ahead of Thursday's first official weigh-in ) and it was good news.

    Had a session on the exercise bike tonight and rode 2.62 miles which is the shortest yet which was disappointing. Hopefully tomorrow's ride will be better....:D
  • well done chip keep it up you are doing great and if calorie counting works for you then thats great too.:T

    ive had a really terrible week, i stopped the SW plan as i had no money and had to eat what was in the freezer and cupboards, i stuck to 3 meals a day and have put 1lb on i cant believe it,:eek: i would have eaten loads more if i was following SW and lost weight,:A bad news is im still skint so have to keep eating whats in,:rolleyes: looks like it will be loads of SW chips egg and beans for me this week LOL.:D
