Slimming world advice please :)

[Katerz]

I'm still figuring it out lol. I am finding that I'm being relaxed Thursday to Sunday then Monday to wed (weigh day) I tend to stay low syn. It balances itself out i reckon. If I have a gain it doesn't feel as terrible as it was before I got to target if you see what I mean?

Also still going to group helps a lot I think.

 

[AngelUK]

Oh wow Kate look at you! You look fantastic! Well done indeed! When you see this surely then you do see the difference too?! So so well done!

 

[AngelUK]

Wahay I lost 2 1/2lbs I am guessing last week was a bit of a fluke and part of my loss this week was from then. It isn't a huge amount compared to what some others lose but I am chuffed Still 4lbs away from my Christmas wish and I know I won't get that now but when I moaned about it to my OH he did something rather clever. He went into the garden where he keeps his weights and brought me in one of those huge wheel things that go at the end of the weightlifting bar thingy (hope you know what I am talking about) and gave it to me to hold. It was REALLY heavy! And he said "Do you realise that this is 10 kilos and that you have lost 11?! This is how much you have lost!" I actually found this eye opening cause wow that is a lot of weight to carry around! No wonder my constant backache is so much better already. So I was really positive at group today and told the story and got a big cheer. I am now ready for Christmas. But I am mostly looking forward to one day OFF the plan lol.
Hope all you ladies are doing well too! xx

 

[Katerz]

Woop well done angel! In the grand scheme of things 4 lb away from xmas wish is nothing at all and your OH had a good idea! When I hold lily I think woahhhh I've lost a lily and a bit in weight where did it all go!?

Try out ilostwhat.com it gives you a good comparison

I'm gutted! Usually weigh in on Thursday evenings but as its Xmas I went this morning and I've gained half a pound! So annoyed, I've no idea why I haven't had anything I'm not supposed too!

 

[AngelUK]

Oh I am so sorry Nicki! But I often suddenly have that loss in the last two days so I am wondering if it is water and what not that makes us fluctuate like that. I know I am not supposed to but I weigh myself at home every day and the scales at home and in group are giving me the same results except that the ones in group go to half lbs as well. And I swear it is so weird how my weight goes up and down during the week! They did warn us of that and said we shouldn't weigh ourselves at home for that reason. So please don't be too upset, it might just be that! Sending you hugs!

 

[nicki01]

I've weighed myself at home and they say I've maintained but I don't usually use them so sw scales are what I go by. But I'm going to weigh again on Thursday evening and see if I have a small loss by then when I would usually weigh in. I am puting it down to a different day and morning weigh instead of evening.
Never mind, my goal was a stone loss by Xmas and I'm at 15.5lb now so still have 1.5lb to play with on my Xmas day off!

 

[AngelUK]

Oh that is well done indeed

 

[Katerz]

It's only a baby gain don't worry

 

[Katerz]

1/2 off this week meaning I have lots to play with over Xmas. Happpyyy

 

[AngelUK]

Brilliant Kate

Our consultant told us that so many ppl come back after xmas with a gain of 10lbs! TEN! What a nightmare that would be! Took so long to get the last 10 off and would hate to have them back on again. SO only one day of indulgence for me but I am ridiculously excited about that one day off lol

 

[Katerz]

Ten?!?! That's crazy! They must've just not stopped eating!!

Xmas day will be off plan. Boxing day is my nephews 1st birthday so will be slightly off plan and the 30th is xmas dinner at mums but other than those days I should be on plan? Whatever the scale says in the new year I will take....only christmas once a year!

 

[nicki01]

Hope everyone is having a lovely Xmas!
I started my off plan with a few thorntons Chocs last night, I'm off plan today having a fried breakfast and full Xmas dinner plus Chocs and biscuits and warm brownies and ice cream but as of tomorrow I'm back on plan hoping to have a maintain come weigh in on the 1st! Ha ha! Maybe wish film thinking, we will see!

 

[topsy]

I have had 3 1/2 days off plan but am back on it now. Hope you all had a lovely christmas xxx

 

[Katerz]

Time to redeem myself! Weigh in Friday so a few more days to be good lol!

I am sick of the sight of bad food

 

[nicki01]

I had Xmas day and Boxing Day evening off but have been back since then! I ate sooo many biscuits lol! Hopefully I can pull something back by Thursday!

 

[topsy]

i am sure the scales will be kind to us girls when we weigh in thurs/fri xxx

 

[nicki01]

I'm struggling!!! Was lovely Xmas day to have yummy naughty food, then I extended it to Boxing Day eve as we had family over but since then I'm finding it hard! My kitchen side is covered in selection boxes, thorntons Chocs and biscuits! Its torture! I so badly want to eat this crunchy that's staring at me lol!
I'm so much more hungry since, like I was when I first
Started! Wish I hadn't had any days off now as I'm battling not to sit with a cuppa and eat the whole tin off chocolate covered biscuits! I'm thinking of turfing them out in the garage so I can't see them!
Help me lol!!

 

[topsy]

You sound like me... I got DH to put all the chocolates up on the top of the kitchen shelves so I cant reach them. It not just you hun xxx

 

[AngelUK]

Oh hun how could anyone resist the temptation! I chucked everything I was not allowed after my one day of madness. Is that not an option for you too? I know, when I realised I had some biscuits left I struggled SOO hard not to eat them all at once but have 2 each day to not overdo the syns (which filled up with my obligatory choccies! lol) Get rid of temptation. Yes it may be wasteful but eating them when what you really want is to lose weight is so much worse! No biscuit on earth tastes as good as a loss on the scales!

I had my weigh in today and I lost 1/2lbs even though I started AF. So I am thrilled.
Hope your weigh ins will be equally good
