    Hi @staticrhubarb! It all seems so much easier when you're in the right frame of mind doesn't it? I've been a bit wobbly for a few weeks and I'm not expecting a loss this week (birthday celebrations & TOTM). Half a stone before Christmas is a realistic target. If I maintain tonight, I need 5...

    That's great Kath, well done! For me it was as expected, I gained 3.5! I'm ok though, I completely sabotaged myself all week. I've got all this week's meals planned and a shopping list ready to go so I'm back on it!

    Slimming World newbie...help!

    Yeah SP can take a while to get your head around. Free foods don't suddenly contain syns when you're doing an SP day and SW say that if you fancy a jacket potato or a banana then go for it, but to get the best loss possible, just stick to the foods with the S and P symbol. I like normal EE...

    I try not to be disappointed as long as it's all going in the right direction. I figure if I know I deserved more on the scales, just stick with it and the next week should show a bigger loss. I tried to tell my consultant I wanted 2lb but shes challenged me to go for the full 3.5 which I've...
