Thread: 5+ stones to lose team

Hey blue, welcome to this group , hope you are getting on well

Woop woop! Lost 3½lbs when I weighed myself yesterday. Just 8½lbs to go till I can start counting down again. This will be my first full week back on the plan so I'm hoping I can lose the 8½ by the end of Feb.

2.5lbs off this week! 2st 2lbs in total! Happy times!! This 5+ stone to lose is slowly but surely melting away!!

Hi can I join?

Started slimming world like. 2years ago and I've lost 3st, for the past year though I'd got complacent and just maintained my weight (loss one week, gain the next).

Decided to kick myself up the bum and start again after Christmas. So after New Years I was 16st 7 again

I'm now back down to 16st 1.5 - half a pound until I get my 3st back and then onwards... 15st 13.5 is the lowest I've seen yet.

My target weight is the high end of 'normal' at 11st. I can't remember ever being this weight, and I think it will be small enough for me I be comfortable.

Means I've another 5st to go (making it 8st 1 in total)

I'm setting myself a pound a week, because I know myself and I'm not as strict as I should be but life gets in the way.

I too fell into the trap of thinking that because I'm bigger I will lose more / quicker than others but that's not the way our bodies work.

Sorry for the long post.
I weigh in on Wednesdays (sometimes Tuesdays like next week) at a group.
My last weigh in was 6/2/13 and I lost 1lb. Next weigh in is 12/2/13.

Good luck all

1.5lbs off this week xx

Hi everyone, can I join. I had 6 stone to lose and have lost 1.5 stone since Christmas, 6lb of which has been with Slimming World in the lady two weeks. I go back to Las Vegas in September to visit my stepdaughter and would like to go back a much lighter person.

Hi is it ok to count you syns weekly, 105 syns a week. I have had about 10 syns a day and then had my weigh I. Today and this evening I have had 35 syns - a chicken kebab and 2 mini Creme eggs to be polished off with an options hot choc tonight.

Hi everyone, do you mind if I join too? I've been lurking for a while!! I lost nearly 5st 18 months ago with SW, but put loads of it back on after a hip operation (long story!) and I need to lose about 5st. I started SW again in Jan and have so far lost 1st 3lb. I go to classes and weigh in on a Wednesday. My boyfriend is also doing it and has lost nearly a stone...but he has a bit less to lose *sigh*

I count my syns weekly, I have a small chart kept in my diary and mark every single one off! it's okay to count weekly as long as you're not having no or barely any syns a day and saving them all for a weekend as SW say this 'encourages binge eating'. But it sound like what you're doing is fine though x

Lost 1lb this week. That's got me my 3stone back
Onwards and downwards

Thank you. That really helps. I usually have between 5-10 a day and then the remaining syns go towards a take out after weigh in.

I lost 3 and a half lb this week. Yay!

I lost 1.5lb Monday and picked up my 1stone award which was nice.

Makes a total of 1 st and 1lb total.

Roll on the next milestone.

Just trying to protect my weight loss this week - staying in a hotel all week - but so far I have stayed on plan and requested changes to food to protect my loss.

I will be happy to sts considering - loss would be good though.

How's everyone else doing, how did you get on today Sunlightbub? I didn't get off to the best start at the weekend with a meal out Friday and just a bad day Sunday - didn't get my head into diet mode or have the right foods in till yesterday but I'm going to be virtuous from now on. Hopefully I'll still lose something by Friday.

i was dead miserable last week cos i stayed the same, so found it really hard to stay on program as I'd been so good! I should have come here and talked about it, which is kinda the point isn't it?, but was just so down...anyway, back on the horse and all that and 4 off this week Just catching up on what you've all been up to
