I am back food optimising
 

For a whole 24 hours I have been following the slimming world plan again :lol: :smug: I have no idea how many syns my mandarin dessert from M&S was but I have been counting my syns for a whole day after about a month of not doing so. :devil: :o

i still do it and ive not been to a meeting in months but i find it such an aesy diet to follow especially the red days that it fits in well with my normal diet but i dont have to stress if due to my forced inactivity i dont lose anything at least its not going up!!!!!

Well Done Veggie :) keep it up you've come so far :bravo:

That's fab veggie! Just take one day at time, and they will soon turn into weeks, then months :)

Another sticker will soon be yours!

Hopefully, will have to careful after weigh in tomorrow night. :o

Excellent! Well done you :D

You girls are my inspriration! ;)

Two pounds off my sticker again. Going to be saintly until Thursday night now. :devil:

:cheer: for Veggie :cp:

Hi, we don't have Slimming World meetings near me, what are they like? What happens? I am using the online diet, and doing okay... 8lb lost in two weeks.

Well Done Cluck :cp: I'm sure that Veggie will help you out with that one ;)

8 Pounds in 2 weeks sounds good to me :D

Certainly does! Well done! :wave:

SW meetings are really good - you get weighed then you have Image Therapy whereby the SW consultant goes around each person annoucing their weight losses and asking what done that week, getting ideas from group if someone finding particular things / times difficult - ie what do people take for lunch to work on red days blah blah. And the awards and slimmer of the week is annouced.

I used to kid myself that I could do it alone, but I can't - I need the focus as don't have enough willpower alone.

Sounds really cheesy and American "yee har" group huggy - but its not I promise ;)

It's a shame you don't have a group near you, but they do have postal membership I hear? And get the magazines which are bi-monthly - they are good.

Good luck - but it sounds like you are doing fab anyway! :bravo:

The Slimming world meetings do sound good but the thought of going to one on my own does not appeal! :(

I'm doing it solo ~ have bought loads of books and am well into it now (5 weeks this Sunday). People have already commented that I've lost weight and I feel good. One of the major things for me has been my skin. I suffer from ezcema badly and my skin had virtually cleared yet!

Yeah Slimming World! :cheer:

Hi all. I have got a subscription for the magazines. How I wish I could attend a group! I have asked if they are likely to come to Jersey, but apparently SW couldn't support the Jersey based consultants in the way that they like to. So we may never get SW here!

I'm sure SW is gonna take of the world sometime soon! So you will get one eventually! ;) Just like Cable!

I was in Tescos yesterday and noticed that their own brand states how many weight Watchers points it contains! :(

I might write to them and say 'what about us Slimming world lot???' :?:

Hi everyone

I have been thinking of joining for quite a while now and have finally got the courage to do it :) I joined slimming world and lost 6lbs in my first week, however the second week wasnt so good :mad: dont know what happened as I can honestly say that its the easiest diet I have ever been on, well anyway its back on track next week :^: I have always had a weight problem about 20 years or so, but am getting married in march 2006 and have decided that its now or never!

you all sound like a great bunch of people, if anyone else is on slimming world and can give me some tips I would be grateful.

Thanks



Brenda

Hi Brenda and welcome!!! http://members.aol.com/browrob549/emo/signs046.gif

Congratulations on the impending wedding! http://members.aol.com/browrob549/emo/love032.gif

I've been on the Slimming world diet 5 weeks today and can honsetly say I don't even feel like I'm on a diet. I think I've lost about a stone (I have crap scales which regularly change their mind!) and my clothes are gettng looser!
I don't think I ate this much BD (before diet!) http://members.aol.com/browrob549/emo/eatdrink015.gif

I have a long way to go and am off to the states in 12 days (not that i'm counting) so am dreading feasting on their yummy food :yikes:

I've bought loads of the Slimming world cookbooks, food directories and magazines which really do help and give you loads of ideas!

Oh and my tip of the day
Options drinks with some of your milk allowance when you get a sugar craving! YUM!! http://members.aol.com/browrob549/emo/eatdrink027.gif

Thanks for the welcome Heavenbug :)

Are options drinking chocolate a free food or does it have sins? The reason why I wasnt fully on program last week is because I had the dreaded sugar craving :devil: and just succumbed to it, thanks for the tip


Brenda

Most of them are 2 sins. I had a raging sugar craving (TOTM) last week and they really helped. The oranage one is lovely and I have a turkish delight one all ready to try! http://members.aol.com/browrob549/emo/eatdrink013.gif

I've also stocked up loads of 'fun size' chocolates which are great when you need a sugar hit.
Milki way is 3.5 sins
Mars is 4.5 sins
Aero is 3 sins, and an aero snack size is 6.5 sins.
http://members.aol.com/browrob549/emo/eatdrink024.gif

Have you got a Slimming World food Directory ~ it's a good investment! Tells you all the sin values.

Well all my good intentions went to waste. I have still not got back on the wagon after going on holiday. I am back to the SW meetings tomorrow though and I am sure that my huge gain being made official will be a huge kick up the backside - lol. Fingers crossed for me.

Getting cable
 

Yeah, we just ordered cable....

Hi Brenda :wave:

Good luck at sw SW :lol: I'm talking in code now. :p

:T :T Take a vote on the various flavours of chocolate options will ya? cuz i'll stock up on some of those when I go home :T I love Turkish Delight :faint: is that a good one?

Is the mag out yet SW? I've told me sis to get me one if there is. ;)

Turkish delight was nice but the Orange one is in the lead at the moment!

Have the toffee and mint ones to try next! Watch this space!

http://members.aol.com/browrob549/emo/eatdrink027.gif

Thanks for reminding me ~ I'll check when I go shopping on Friday!

Yup the mag is out - but I not seen it in the shops yet - just the old one.

The groups get it first :cool:

See - theres a good reason to stay at SW ;)
Do you live in Manchester? Like your friend that recently joined?
If you do - come along to my class :) You have proven that SW works for you - losing over 3 stone proved that!! It may be that you just need a change or "fresh start"?
It's in stretford - monday (good night to be weighed me thinks - start of week) 7pm.

Course ignore this if you live in Edingburgh ;)

No I live in Cumbria :( ;)

Lol! :dizzy:

Weigh in tomorrow
 

Hi Everyone,

Thanks heavensbug for the tip on options chocolate :) also on the different mini chocolate bars, I am definately going to have to invest in a food directory :D. I weigh in tomorrow fingers crossed I will have a loss :^:

Will check in tomorrow


Brenda

Oh well I think I have left slimming world. Been going 6 months, stuck to it 4 months. :devil: May start ww. Will decide when coughing/sickness illness gone.

happy
 

Hi everyone,

I weighed in today at SW and I have lost another 6lbs :D cant believe it as this is the first plan I have been on where you can eat so much, I am a very happy bunny :smug: Trying to get the exercise thing going though!


brenda

6lb!? thats amazing! Well done!! :bravo:

I ate so much tonite ( free food of course ;) ) but my tummy hurts!

Tis a glorious diet for them days you just wanna EAT!! :hun:

Well Done Brenda! :cheer:

Slimming World is definatley the best 'diet' I've been on. Doesn't really feel like a diet. Once you get over the initial what can I mix together ~ it's great! :D

:bravo: Brenda :cp:

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the support, i still cant believe how much you can eat!!! When I'm in the kitchen making yet another monstrous snack my partner doesnt say anything he just develops this cough! I just say its all FREE honey


Brenda

I know! Great isn't it! I still feel guilty sometimes! Came home from work early and ate 2 packets of Supernoodles before the other half gets home! :D

:rofl: Thats Hilarious Brenda :lol:
