Slimming world advice please :)

[kirstybumx3]

I was doing useless at home. Managed to put almost another stone on since I was last in here so I rejoined an actual class last week. My first weigh in was today, 4lbs off and it's star week so I'm happy with that

 

[topsy]

totally forgot to say, I lost 2 lbs last week and got my 3 stone award finally! And to top off my happiness, I had to send back a trousers size 14 and get the size 12 instead. Now, they are linen and have give in them but still I am dancing on the table, almost!

Hope all you ladies are doing well too and fighting the good fight still xx

 

[kirstybumx3]

Well done! That's fab!
I lost 2lb this week. X

 

[nicki01]

Well done angel, you deserve that after how hard you have been trying! 😀

 

[kirstybumx3]

Just 1lb off for me this week, but I got my half a stone certificate. I didn't stay to group last week and got slimmer of the week, so I got a certificate for that today too. Then I won the raffle - a box of hifi bars, the summer book and a free week!
I already have the summer book because I got a countdown so if any of you lovelies want it I am happy to post it to you?

 

[AngelUK]

Well done I have the summer book already too, thank you though.

Lost 3 1/2lbs this week! WOOHOO! best loss I ever had, even in my first week! So happy! Cut WAY down on my fruit and berries and had 1/2 S foods every meal (or nearly lol) I really hope this has cracked it now and I continue to have good losses. So happy

Hope you are all still doing well and fighting the good fight

Well done Kirsty & angel on the losses! I was a 1.5lb gain 😕 to much of my daughters b.day cake! Oops! Have eaten just fruit all day today and doing a mushroom and tomato pasta tonight that I won the ingredients for in Thursday's raffle so hopefully it will be yummy! Really hoping I can stay on track becuse I've completely fallen off the wagon and am struggling so bad 😥

Guess who got a Fitbit charge HR for her birthday!! 😀

 

[AngelUK]

Ohh very nice! Hope it will be a great help

 

[kirstybumx3]

I maintained last Wednesday. And I'm not going to group tomorrow because I'm too ashamed lol! Had a bad week. I'm going to try and pull back my gain this week and get a small loss next week. X

 

[AngelUK]

I maintained as well. But you know I read somewhere that when you have a bad week, you need your group and when you have a great week, your group needs you! I totally agree with that! No need to be ashamed, we have all been there!

Hi ladies! I used to post in this group but then left SW for a while but I've been back for 8 weeks now and 11lb from target, don't know if any of you remember me?

How is everyone?

Kirsty don't be ashamed Hun, I maintained 3 weeks ago then had a holiday (and if you can believe my scales put on 4lb!) and pulled it back before weigh in to only a pound gain, then last week somehow managed to lose 3lb! I agree with Angel that going to group is best for weeks when you are struggling, no one will judge you we've all been there. My group are great when I've had a gain or a maintain, my consultant always tries to find out where I think I'm going wrong and how I can manage it.

Can I ask anyone, do you use your own bathroom scales during the week? I've just used mine and I've been so good over the weekend but it shows I've gained half a pound from yesterday. I know I shouldn't take it seriously but it's frustrating when I know I've been so good!! I should leave the scales alone shouldn't I really?!

 

[AngelUK]

I remember you! Welcome back! I was wondering how you were doing!
I was advised not to weigh myself during the week cause I always did and it did stress me loads. But my consultant did say that we all fluctuate in weight, depending on many factors, such as how heavy last night's meal was and how much of it is still in your system. And then of course also women tend to hold water due to hormones on different days of their cycles.
However, I did weigh myself this Saturday (weigh in is Mondays) and had put on 3lbs! Shock horror! So I did reign back massively Saturday and Sunday and even only had a salad last night. This morning I stepped on my scales and the 3lbs are off. Sadly no loss but Id take a maintain over a 3lbs gain any day lol
My weight loss journey is super slow and I think I will try and keep an eye on my calories with myfitnesspal now as well as go to group. It is otherwise going to drive me crazy!

Hope everyone else is doing ok and fighting the good fight! xx

 

[kirstybumx3]

Thanks. I didn't go and I feel bad for it now because I've not stuck to plan this week either. In fact today I've sat and ate a whole block of dairy milk because I was stressed after being locked out of my own house and having to break in!
I'm showing a 3lb gain on my own scales, but I'm going to group on Wednesday and I'm going to stay. I might even mention that I'm struggling to. I find that when I stay and see how good everyone is doing it motivates me to be one of those good ones the following week so fingers crossed.

I was weighing a lot through the week at home but I try not to now. One day I can show 2lbs off, then 1lb on a hour later. I often weigh the day before weigh in to see how I've done and most of the time it says completely different. Last time I went I was showing a 2lb gain at 8am and at weigh in at 9 I maintained! X

Hello Bailey! I remember you! How are you and the kiddies doing now? Hope you are well and things have settled down for you!
Well done on being so close to target! Not long and you will get there.

Hi girls, I have been in a psychiatric hospital for over 4 weeks now and gained over a stone. I am now getting leave now so am in more control of meal so back on SW as of today!

[AngelUK]

Aw kirsty, sorry you are struggling! breaking into your own house sounds stressful! But do stay to group as it really helps to sort of be accountable to someone else almost!

Topsy glad you can come home today! Hope things will get to be more calm and controllable for you from here!

I maintained today so I am not too unhappy. Will deffo be more in control this week and get a loss! FX to you all too
