Slimming world advice please :)

[AngelUK]

I really hope so topsy. I am always so good and never go over my syns etc (well only twice so far: xmas and our anniversary) and find it a little disheartening when others have big losses even though they occasionally over-syn or don't try as hard as I do.
Still, I have lost over 2 stone and I do feel really so much better

1.5lbs off for me this week.
I had a bad day yesterday - we went to London shopping and I had McDonald breakfast then a huge meal out followed by chocolate fudge cake and a bottle of wine

 

[AngelUK]

Kirsty well done! And as long as you enjoyed yourself, then a day off once and again is perfectly ok. Don't beat yourself up

1lbs off for me. That makes 1 1/2lbs off this last month I really wish I knew what I am doing wrong. But at least it was something off this week I guess.

 

[kirstybumx3]

Thank you. Well done on your loss. 1lb is great
Do you have most/all of your syns? It sounds silly but if I don't use many of my syns I tend to lose less! X

 

[nicki01]

Well done on the losses ladies. Hope everyone is ok. I've had such a bad weekend! Weighed myself this morning and a 2lb gain in 2 days! Oops! Hopefully bring that back down a tad by Thursday.

 

[AngelUK]

I always have around 12 syns sometimes 14 but rarely. My consultant even said maybe I should reduce them. But I would get depressed! I need my syns lol

Angel - I would try and mix up what you are eating. Different things for every meal and try new snacks? It's common to plateau a bit. How much have you got to loose to be a healthy bmi?

I'm plodding along STS last week after a naughty weekend with the kids and a friend going to Thomas Land! Back on it now and am determined as our holiday is getting closer. I have bought some new clothes two sizes smaller than what I was in January and have now lost 1 stone 9lbs in 9 weeks

Had some friends round for dinner last night we normally cook a three course calorific meal or get a takeaway. Last night I made sesame chicken stir fry. I also tried the 1/2 syn cake but it was not for me! So we ended up having fat free frozen strawberry yoghurt with raspberries and strawberries

Hope everyone has a wonderful Mothers Day

Happy Mother's Day to you too and all you lovely ladies on here!

I am hoping for good results tomorrow cause according to my scales I have lost 3lbs. I recently switched to unsweetened Almond Milk instead of skimmed as you can have a whole litre! I don't need that much or even close but since I like the taste I thought I could save some calories there. Not sure if that did the trick or if it is just that one week a month when I usually have a good loss but I am hoping it isn't just a fluke.

For a healthy BMI I need to lose about 2 or 5 lbs more (depending on who you believe lol) I am feeling ok as I am right now but really want to lose another 1stone and 18lbs to feel really happy

 

[topsy]

Lola you are doiong so well.

I lost 5lbs in the last 2 weeks ( was to ill to go the week before) but had a chinise fri night and went out for mothers day breakfast today ( but was really good and well within my syns )

What about doing some SP days angel hun?

Happy mothers day girls

xxxx

Forgot to post yesterday:
3lbs off and Slimmer of the Week award. Yay!! I am now only 1 1/2lbs off from my 2stone 1/2 award I think maybe it was the almond milk that did it, and I hope it gets me another good result next week.
I have replaced skimmed milk with unsweetened almond milk cause you can have a whole litre per day of it! I don't need even half that much but I sneakily figured I can save some calories there AND that if I have the occasional small skinny cappuccino I won't even have to syn it as I would still not be even close to reaching my milk allowance limit! But I only do this once or twice a week.

How is everyone else doing? xxx

 

[nicki01]

Well done angel. Great loss!
I'm not doing well. I've been off plan from Thursday till Sunday and my scales are telling me I've gained 4lb :-/
How am I going to pull that back by Thursday lol!
Being at target really isn't good for me! I'm too laid back and binge on rubbish and now this! Oops! If my scales are correct then I'm still only just in target so its not the end of the world but I still need to drop it off!

 

[kirstybumx3]

That's great angel. Well done!
I had a really bad week, 1 takeaway, 2 meals out, a box of chocolates for mothers day gone in about a hour, mcdonalds breakfast again, and kfc today.
I have gained 3lbs so far and I am sure some more will catch up with me too.
Disappointed in myself, it's so easy to fall off isn't it?

 

[topsy]

Girls its sooooo easy to fall off. I am back on it today my scales are showing an 6 lbs gain since last fri

Well done angel hun and slimmer of the week too whoop whoop hun i am am also 1 1/2 lbs off my 2 1/2 stone award BUT i know i am NOT going to get it this week!!!

xxxx

 

[Katerz]

3lb gain today aaaggh I had the week off plan so totally expected

 

[topsy]

^^kat you will soon have that off next weekend hun xxxx

 

[AngelUK]

Topsy that is great! So what if you sometimes come off the wagon, you are doing well on the whole and are still getting results. Almost at 2 1/2 stone is brilliant! Do you realise that what we have lost is the equivalent of 66 packets of lard?! Imagine carrying those around in a shopping basket! Ow! No wonder I always had a back ache. Things like that put the weight loss in perspective for me

 

[Katerz]

Yeah in not too worried by it still bouncing around the target bubble and I definitely enjoyed each and every thing that contributed to the gain haha

Ladies....I have found heaven in asda... I have found muller corners at only 2.5 syns each. They're new and lovely! I loved corners before SW so I'm over the moon!

 

[AngelUK]
