Hi Schmoo,

Welcome to the Forum. I'm sure you can find a lot of useful hints here. I'm on here everyday and learn something new everyday.

I have something to admit tho, after loosing 2 weeks after each other, this week might be my downfall. Why? I had a curry yesterday...and ate a whole nanbread . I could kick myself....I'm trying to be good for the rest of the week, so hopefully I haven't gained anything

Hellloooooooo? Echoooooooo? Where is everyone?

It's been really quiet here lately, did you all fall off the wagon?

Got my meeting tomorrow and I'm dreading it a bit...since I had a curry on sunday, and instead of being a good girl and having rice, I had a whole nan by myself.....last week I couldn't wait to get on the scales, this week I don't even want to go. But I promised myself to be a good girl this weekend. Only problem is.....it's fathers day on Sunday and we are taking the inlaws out.

Does anyone else feel that the weekends are more difficult to stick? Is it due to the lack of routine?

Oh Bubbly good for you, back in the 17's . I wish I was there....hit my 18st mark last week, so I actually hoped to be in the 17's as well this week, but do to lack of willpower (red wine, curry, nan during the weekend) I stayed the same. But well, I suppose it's better than a weighgain, so I'm not too dissappointed.

So off I go to being good, writing my journal and generally trying not to syn too much this weekend.

Hello I am new to this forum and thought I would come on here and introduce myself.

I have been doing Slimming World since January this year and have lost 2 1/2 stone so far with another 4 stone to lose. Had a couple of weeks where I have gained or stayed the same but am 100% focused now so I expect a good loss on Tuesday morning!

I am 28 years old and live in Essex with my husband and 11 month old daughter.

Erm think thats about it!

Hi Gem,

Wow thats a great loss in 6 months, well done! I wish I could stay as focused, but I've must have been absent when willpower was given out....cause I don't seem to have it. Well I'm sure you will like this forum, you can get lots of ideas here and support.

Hi all, sounds like people are doing well around here. I've not been on the forum for about 3 weeks...I got married and had a two week honeymoon in Canada We had such a wonderful time and really didn't want to come back at all. I must admit I didn't stick to the diet much but we did so much walking and sightseeing that it sort of ballanced out as when I went to get weighed this week I lost 1 lb (to be honest, I expected to put on a few lbs )

Anyway, after a couple of bad days due mainly to laziness re shopping after the hols and mum unexpectedly ending up in hospital (she's out now but got to go back in next week for an op ) I just ate all the wrong things and didn't go to the gym. But from today I'm back on track. Feeling more positive. Some of that willpower dust must have fallen on me

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend.
Love ff x

Hey ff!

We went to Canada on our honeymoon too! We did the Alaska Cruise and had a week in Vancouver afterwards. We went back again last year and had 3 weeks touring the Rockies, visiting Vancouver Island and staying in Vancouver visiting the friends we made on the cruise. Sounds like you had a great time!

Good luck with getting back on track!

Good Morning all,

Its Sunday 6.51am and where am I? At work!!!! This is my last day in my 7 day shift and boy I cant wait to get outta here tonite.

Bubbly....Pizza mmmmmmh thats definetley my downfall. I really have to watch out. Going out with the inlaws tonight to DiMaggio's and I absolutely adore their Pizza. Had a good talk in our group tho on Thursday about the different choices on restaurant menus. Was quit surprised about some of the things...synwise that is. So I'm going to try to stick to breaded mushrooms tonight and some pasta......

FF....well congratulations! And coming back from your honeymoon and you lost? Well done! And look at your wee tracker, your over half way there, I wish I was that far along.....

Well, I'm off to taking my dear customer calls now. Have a great Sunday all....

Hi Sarah, You lucky thing..we want to go back to Canada again but it will take a while...the honeymoon cost a bomb!! But it was worth every penny! Your second trip sounds more like ours - we started out in Vancouver (during which we took a float plane trip over to Vanouver Island), took the Rocky Mountaineer train to Jasper, and then on to Banff. Bliss...

Hi Moonchild, sorry you've had to work today, I'm lucky I only do Mon to Fri. My tracker makes me happy every time I look at it - it was such a big thing for me when I passed the half way point and the amount I had left to lose was finally less than the amount I had lost Don't worry Moonchild - you're making great progress - you'll get there

I confess to being a serial weigher - can't get out of the habit - and when I popped on the scales this am I was tipping into the top of the 15 stones!!!!!!!! It's years and years and years since I've been anywhere near the 15s. I'm sooooo pleased. I burned some calories dancing round the bathroom

I was off the last two days....so well done ff

I have to admit I completeley fell off the wagon yesterday. Was really frustrated and had a Macaroni pie in town. Then I had a bag of crisps and a wrap when I got home and to top it off a piece of chocolate. I was so disgusted with myself last night. . I want to loose the weight, I've been busy for ages and I just don't get anywhere. Everyone is loosing leftrightandcenter, and I just cant get myself to have the willpower....whats wrong with me?

It happens to us all - I have days when all I can think about is food and I just start eating and tell myself I don't care...but I do and afterwards I feel aweful. I've been a bit like that today - just reading your email made me feel hungry!! I don't understand my relationship with food - I never have really - I'm not hungry but I am really stressed and I know I "comfort eat" but surely knowing that I do it should make it easier to manage...but it doesn't of course. Just try and put it behind you and move on from the moment you realise what you've done. Don't say I'll start again tomorrow...the danger is you'll keep on eating tonight! Say, I'll start again right now and then you can feel better about yourself for your ability to turn it around rather than upsetting yourself about what you've eaten. Good luck hun and remember you are not alone. love ff x

I woke up this morning with a headache....havent really had one since I've started SW. I think it's from all the rubbish I ate in the last couple of days. FF you are right, I just have to start afresh today. I have my weighin tonight, and I dont think it will be a happy one lol. But just one more reason to be good and loose 4lb until my next meeting. My other half, bless him, was strict with me last night. There were some pancakes my motherinlaw bought and I really fancied them, but he just said....little pickers wear big nickers....and I know he's right. So I didnt have them, brushed my teeth and that was that. Today (once my headache is gone) things will be better.

Thanks ff, reading your words this morning made me realise again that I'm not the only one struggling....xxxx
