    Tuesday Weighers

    Hey peeps, hope you all had fab weeks. I lost 5 1/2lb last night! I was shocked even though I was anticipating a loss, I was wanting 2 1/2lb off for my 1 stone award. It's star week for me as well so I was thinking I probably wouldn't see as huge a loss. This is fab and I am now at 19st on the...

    NSVs - Non Scale Victories

    My Non Scale Victory was trying on some dresses I bought as a reminder to lose weight. I tried one on before I started back at SW and I found it was too tight, so tight in fact I could not breathe properly. I know people will say you lose a dress size with every 10lbs, and knowing I was close...

    Tuesday Weighers

    Have been quiet since I joined the group. I felt like maybe I joined at the wrong time but I pushed through my cravings due to tough times but I put on the week before last and I think it threw me as I'd been doing the plan each week about 70% of the time. I gave it 100% each and every day last...

    DOING SW FROM HOME???

    Have had a rocky first week with 2 takeaways, 2nd of which I thought was the healthier choice of chicken kebab. Alas not 24 hours later I had the most awful flu like symptoms and later nausea.

    Converted from WW to Slimming World!!

    I went to WW a few years back and lost 3 1/2 stone in about 6 months. I was proud of myself at the time as I endured hunger and many early nights (to combat the hunger). I had weeks when I gained as I felt so hungry & gave in, leading to a binge! I always looked at Slimming World as it was in...

    Why Slimming World...?

    I have done WW previously and found it was too restrictive with everything having a points value! I quit when I quit my job and consequently put on all the weight and then some.

  84. kcbmama84

    Had enough!

    Hey hunni I was in the same boat, lost the baby weight and gained it back after several months, although was already heavy so to the outsiders it didn't make any difference! Anyways good luck, I'm sure you'll find yourself in a few weeks, like I was, feeling great about your losses!!!
  85. kcbmama84

    Just out of curiousity...

    4lbs twice! Not inc. the second weigh-in when I lost 5lbs but that was just the first week! Everyone is different! any loss is a good loss surely?
  86. kcbmama84

    First 100 gone :D

    boastful! hardly! Inspirational, definitely! you must look amazing! I have 8 stone to lose, nearly 2 stone down, so to hear someone else with a big loss having reached a big goal makes me determined to join them! Well Done!
  87. kcbmama84

    Wash your veg thoroughly before cooking

    nice! surely they have some sort of duty to inspect it before they put it on the shelf!
  88. kcbmama84
