Thread: ♥ Nicki's Diary - Confessed Scale Abuser - +2lbs ♥

I've not had a diary to write in for a almost a week now and i'm really missing it, so thought i'd start one.
Ok so i'm Nicki, i have done slimming world more times then i can remember over the last decade, along with a fair few others. I always lose weight with sw and yet i always give up eventually. Mostly though laziness when i don't want to cook or plan and just eat junk and then i usually start ww and then i eventually get sick of the amount of junk i'm eating. I recently started on a vlcd called w8, lasted just over 2 days with headaches and tummy ache, to be told by the doctor i was allergic and to stop it immediatly as my blood pressure was increasing. Was told to only do ww or slimming world, so hey presto here i am.
I'm going back to my old group on tuesday, i am looking forward to it because i no it works, i just need to keep organised and motivated.

My main motivation is babies, at the moment getting preggo is near impossible as i'm not ovulating, which is most likly to the extra person i'm carrying around in lard I'm finding it hard at the moment because everyone around me seems to be falling pregnant accidently and i've been trying for over a year now. Anyway i'm hoping/prayer/wishing that this is it for me now, if i can get enough off, i can put it back on with baby weight

I've been reading peoples diaries but haven't commented as i feel a little like i'm invading, but i'm enjoying reading about other peoples successes.

Babies eh? What a brilliant motivation. Good luck with your weightloss journey and I really hope that you're cycle starts peddling. It can be really hard when it seems like it's everyone else is being 'blessed'. Really hope your time comes soon.

Hi Nikki,
I also live in Kent and my name is Nikki also is that weird or what.
Hope your soon be sucessful with getting pregnant, and look forward to speaking again, don't you just love this site.
Good luck with Tuesday!

Thanks for the welcome. Babies should be a massive motivation but sometimes not enough, think sometimes its easier to blame the weight then risk finding out its something unfixable, if that make sense.

Shopping tonight, got a list as long as my arm and its all slimming world friendly. Joining group tomorrow evening but i'll start doing it from tomorrow morning. Got sent home from work early as they were short on seats, love it, although now i'm bored. But i'd rather be bored at home then at work
My new blackberry should be arriving today, i'm gonna rule the world with it, or at least mine.

Well i'm a bit sad i've had to change my username, i couldn't sign in to minis on my phone, bummer!
I joined group last night and it was lovely to be back, the ladies (and men) are so lovely. The only trouble is the cupboard is absolutly bare, i have nothing but pasta, green day it is then Going shopping tonight so its not all bad. I'm going to try and stick to red days and have EE days at the weekend, not sure i'll eat enough superfree foods but i'll give it ago.

Hi Nikki

Thought i would pop along and have a nose at your diary! your in good company on team queensize, a few of us on there are also hoping to get preggy soon, so we can all support each other. My periods went a bit haywire after i piled on the weight, they were always ok before that, within a month of doing sw they were back! so fingers crossed you will be ovulating in no time! There is loads of lovely recipes on here, i drool everytime i look in recipe section!!! best of luck hun xx

Feeling pretty down after an epic fail to stay of track. I went to a bbq and was pretty positive i'd stay on track, but i think the universe were determined to make me fail. The BBQ didn't get lit until 8pm, i got there at 1pm to set up so we were starving, ended up eating the pringles and some oat biscuits, there was no diet drinks, then when the food was ready i had to burgers and buns and a rib. Guess there are positives, i could have eaten alot more then i did, i could have drunk alot more then i did, i did a fair bit of walking before the BBQ started and i did walk home sober. Todays been ok, gone a few syns over because i forgot i'd had breakfast, but i doubt it will do much damage.
I am struggling at the moment, i use all my syns daily but not on treats, i have coleslaw, sugar on breakfast and clover lighter and thats about it. Guess its just such a difference from being on WW, where i could and did have a load of junk. Oh well first weigh in on Tuesday, just hoping i've not done too much damage.

hi hun

your doing great so dont let this get you down. you havent been that bad at all! you could have been a hell of a lot worse! so draw a line under it and start afresh today! would you not make syn free coleslaw, maybe use flora ex light, 0.5 syns per teaspoon, and candarel or something. Its down to personal taste, but i prefer to use the lower syn options for things like that, and then save my syns for treats! the syn free coleslaw is yummy, i make a big pot and keep if for through the week xxx

Hey I can totally relate with the BBQ thing but a few tips; take your own bottle of diet drink and a bowl of freshly cut fruit and veg, it appears to be a gesture of generosity and good will plus you can graze on the stuff without worrying about syn values etc.

I envy your use of syns in meals over treats, I can never get the time to get scales out and measure everything so tend to keep the syns for treats like choccy bars etc.

hyer hun, just wanted to say hello and welcome! what a fab goal to have a baby!! I had sophie 8 months ago and love her to bits, we want to ttc again next year but I dont want to get pregant again at the weight I am at the mo! Good luck and glad you have a nice supporting group.
Emx

Thanks guys, i did make some coleslaw but it wasn't as nice as the asda stuff i did just add mayo though, maybe i need to find a proper recipe. I tried the half spoon sweetner stuff but i found it had a chemically taste.
I've been good today i was sat in work today thinking 'hmm i could just give up on the week, grab a sausage roll and start again Tuesday' but i didn't thought it would be a waste of the last week, so i went and got a nana and had some pasta when i got home. Going shopping tonight and have pasta n sauce with roast chicken for tea. Tomorrow i'll have a red day, i don't usually eat on weigh day but it prob does no good, so i'm gonna eat a little and try not to eat after 3pm. Hope everyones monday is going ok

Ooooooh i was bad and got on my scales and i've put on a pound, i'm not sure how accurate they are, god i hope they're way off! I'm a bit nervous in all honesty, i haven't been 100% with the bbq fiasco but i hope i've done enough.

Hi ya, try not to get on your own scales, I know it’s a big temptation to do but it can dishearten you and sometimes make you go off the rails, I weigh myself at home as I don't go to a SW club, but I discipline myself to WI on a Monday only, I put them in under my daughters bed out of the way during the rest of the week, I have also told my OH if I gain I will weigh in front of him, (thats a big incentive to keep to plan) If I could afford to go to a class I would give them to my mum who lives 20 miles aways to look after them, Keep positive and hope all is well, keep in touch

I lost 5lbs, was hoping for a little more, but can't complain considering the weekend abuse of syns at the bbq!

Good grief! I would be cock-a-hoop at a 5lb loss!! Congratulations to you!! (especially since you were expecting a gain!!)
