Thread: An Extra Easy 2012 :)

Happy New Year to you all!

Here's a little bit about myself:

I started Slimming World in June 2011 and I can honestly say it's the best thing I've ever done. I had no idea how overweight I was at the time and was shocked to see that I weighed in at 12st 7lbs. I threw myself into the plan and was encouraged by my losses most weeks.
Just before Christmas I weighed in at 10st 4lbs I had so many parties, nights out, dinners, etc at Christmas it was almost impossible to stick to plan and at my wi today I have gained 5lbs. I'm delighted to be back on plan from today and looking forward to a fab food optimising year! I've set my goal for April 2012; but in reality I'm in no rush! I always do the Extra Easy plan. Please feel free to drop by and give me some advice and tips!

Hi I have just been reading your thread I started SW oct 2010 as a couple of people commented that I looked fatter, how rude! It was really just to encourage my mum who has quite a bit of weight to lose. Anyway I found I was the heaviest ild been at 10 stone 11.5lbs. I managed to get down to 9 stone 12 then got stuck, I aimed for 9 stone 7lbs but kept going up and down the odd pound or two for weeks before I decided to quit classes and do SW at home. Weighing 10 stone half a pound today and aiming for 9 and a half again but I get bored with the same foods. I lovvvve cooking so just having a nosy at other people's diaries to get some ideas. Well done with ur loss and good luck!

B: x3 bacon and a fried egg (frylight) needed to go food shopping so no superspeeds!

L: batchelors ham leek n cheese pasta (1) with added broccoli using HEXA milk and 1tbsp lurpak (5)

Hey everyone, well what a bad start to my "restart"!!! It all started on Thursday evening when I went to a show and then had a big meal after it :s Since then I've been craving (and eating) all the wrong foods But on a positive note, I'm back at work tomorrow and back into my routine, thank God! Was meant to be going food shopping today but I'm still in my pj's (lazy Sunday) and just can't be bothered. Will go straight after work tomorrow and I'm writing tomorrow's diary to MAKE me stick to it! Slimming World I'm Coming Back!!!

Breakfast: Freshly squeezed orange juice, 2 Weetabix (heb) with milk from allowance, and an apple.

Snack: Banana & tea

Lunch: Melon and grapes; SW egg fried rice (have all the ingredients for this at home so I can make it this evening); Mullerlight.

Snack: Pear; Diet coke

Your day today sounds fab lots of superfree

Thanks Kirsty! Been 100% today so far, being back at work really helps. Well it didn't help that there were cakes & buns in the staff room today :s but I managed to resist and had my banana instead! I definitely overdid it over Christmas and I'm actually glad to be back on plan again. Did a quick food shop today after work and I was planning on having a SW fry for tea but I think I'll have a wee nosey on here and see if I can come up with something a bit more exciting! Hope everyone has had a lovely day

Well done on your positive start back on plan and avoiding the staff room temptation!

I have a few boxes of chocolates that I am going to take into work for the staff to eat so I'm not tempted by them at home.
