Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

[downtownsuzie]

Uh oh, hope we don't have snow headed this way!

One of the other guys was drinking coke, OH and his friend had a pint (and then OH switched to diet coke too, bless him) and the girls were on the vino. Once I realised no-one was remotely bothered about what I would be drinking, I thought that there was no point in wasting syns that I wouldn't enjoy! Good job really, cause I'd had an extra sausage for dinner

Snow?! It's lovely and sunny here

Don't think I can hope for any loss on my WI on Wednesday. Scales look like an STS at the moment. Got a rather scrummy off plan day ahead but planning on 3 red days to help.

Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday

so, ive decided I am certainly hiding my scales and only weighing in on WI day, it only depresses me and I head to the chocolate.

Sundays are always a munchy day and I think its due to alcohol on a saturday night.

So my aims:

11 weeks with no wine.
11 weeks to get down to at at least 126lbs....at a push go for target of 119lbs.
Work out at least 3 times a week.
Keep measurements. Haven't had time to do them yet.
Try to eat 3 meals a day.
Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day.
Keep within in my syns every week 70 - 105.
Run 5km in 28mins.
Mix my weeks up - 4 days red, 2 days green, 1 day EE.

Tomorrow is the start of my healthy new me. I feel like I drink too much which leads to craving and binging on unhealthy foods, resulting in weight gain.

I'm so sorry ladies for a having a little ramble its just my OH seems to have stopped listening now as he always say "Nikki, you don't need to lose any more weight, i'm fed up of you worrying all the time" this also results in eating crappy foods. So i'm changing my whole lifestyle now, otherwise i'll end up back at a blob!

Hey hun, I reckon you'll be amazed how much of a difference no wine (and the subsequent munchie day) makes even without all of the other stuff. How many syns do you reckon are used up with just the munchie day on it's own? Cause I know my self control would be very limited!

Lots of luck I WI on Wednesday as well - are you a morning or evening weigher? I don't mind doing a mini challenge with you if you like x

It's amazing how it makes you feel when OH isn't supportive - I bet he eats what he likes with no weight gain whatsoever?! These men have it so easy

I cooked sausages and mash last night (not really a SW meal, just reduced fat sausages and potatoes mashed with a dash of milk), but OH really liked it. Then I told him that they were 'healthy' sausages (if there is such a thing) and he got (jokingly) grumpy cause he knows there is no reason why he shouldn't eat healthily and not enjoy it! He likes everything I've cooked for him so far and he's yet to complain - he just doesn't understand how you can lose weight with it. On the other hand, when we're out, he's more of a "oh goooooo onnnnnnn" type of person! Haha. My ex was completely unsupportive of SW, but it just spurred me on to prove him wrong

Woah, sorry for the essay. You'll get there x

I think that's definitely a sensible way to see things, and we need to remember that slimming world is designed to change the way we eat in the long term, not just as a quick fix for weight loss.

Hiding the scales is definitely a good step - I managed it last week and it's so much better that your mood for the day isn't dictated by some numbers on a machine

Thanks for the support hun

I'd love to a do a mini challenge with you.

It is currently only 11.40 and I have had my HEXB (wholemeal bread) a slice of tiger loaf - 4 syns, a tsp of jam - 1 syn and dairy milk - 15 syns. Thats before all the mothers day meal we have later on!

I dont know why but I was so craving chocolate and nothing would take it away, I never ever eat choc and it came as a surprise to want it so much.

Luckily, I have no bad food back at home and so I can do a lovely healthy shop tomorrow and get on track. I was doing so well before I went on holiday got as low as 128lbs in January and the settled at 130lbs.

I just hate how OH says things like "if you lose any more weight youve got a problem" and he can see how unhappy I am but its as if he doesn't want me to be happy in my self, but then thats what puts me off and I end up thinking "one day wont hurt"

I sympathise with you hun, it's not necessarily my OH but my mum that is always nagging me to stop losing weight and 'let go' a little. OH gets fed up with me from time to time when I talk about losing weight or say 'oh i can't really have that' but at the end of the day he is supportive of me even if he doesn't agree with me.

Mum on the other hand was a nightmare when I lived at home last year. She was convinced I'd got an eating disorder and would purposefully buy lots of naughty treats and desserts and convince me to eat them! Eventually it got to the point where I sat down with her and explained that I wasn't happy with my weight yet, and that I certainly wasn't starving myself and she gradually came to terms with it.


Perhaps you need to have a talk with OH and tell him what he's doing wrong and tell him how it makes you feel. Let him know there's a community of ladies behind you that support you and that he should too!

Hope you have a great mothers day x

Thanks hun

I have tried to explain to OH but he always says "I loved you when you were at your biggest and it makes me think your not happy in our relationship" which is totally wrong. We just need to learn to do other things with our spare time, rather than me coming home from work and he having already poured wine out and got nuts on the table.

I know that i'll feel so much better just by losing this last stone!

I'm most defo hiding the scales tomorrow as i hate seeing the fluctuation. Between this time yesterday and now i've fluctuated from 9st 6 to 9st 11.... needless to say I felt fab seeing 9st 6 and then pig sick seeing 9st 11.

I'm getting OH to hide them and not weighing until wednesday!

Its great to have all you lovely ladies supporting me. Its so hard the last stone!

You've done excellent with you last stone hun. Losses every week! Well done.

I thought I'd already written a long reply to this, but I must have not pressed send before I exited, sorry!

What shall we have as our mini challenge?

Met OH for lunch and he tried to blame his hangover/bad tummy on the healthy sausages! Loooooool "nice try Mr!"

Had jacket potato with beans, no butter and a bit of salad for lunch making Mum a SW curry for dinner.

128 is very impressive - I'm at the lowest I've ever been, but I was only aiming for 129. I think when you joined us I decided to go lower - you're an inspiration!! x

I don't think men will ever understand the pressure us women feel to look and feel good because they're not made to feel the same way. I suppose that as long as you losing weight isn't affecting the dynamic of your relationship, then I don't see the problem

Remember, your body doesn't know its the last stone get back to basics, or perhaps change your routine if you think your body could be getting used to what you do.

I rely on you guys a lot. "must go out for a run, cause Charlie is expecting me to" or "mustn't weigh midweek or Kim will get cross" haha! Keeps me on the straight and narrow! And now I'll be saying "must stick to plan, can't let Nikki down" its almost as if, of others are expecting something of me then I'm more likely to see it through - is that wrong? I know I should do it for me - and I am - my willpower just isn't very strong..

Bought a size 8 dress from New Look today and it fits! Funny how their size 10 jeans barely do up on me though! Haha

Love slimming world currys, there are so many choices and spices aren't there. Delicious! Ive got a scrummy lamb dinner followed by sticky toffee pud!

lol at your OH giving it the "its the healthy sausages fault" I used to work with a girl and she ate soooo much rubbish but never put weight on, and one day I went and got here a salad for lunch and she was ill the next day....she blamed the salad!

I think we should just do a mini challenge of 7lbs pain? See if we can do it for Easter?

[Nikki<3]

So the family are around now, i've already ate so much bread today, 2 slices and 1 mini roll. 2 choccie digestives too lol. But still going to enjoy my last day of wine and food

Dont feel bloated or anything and my Grandad just called me a skinny minnie! Bless him.

Definitely not wrong - I totally do that too

When I bought my first size 10 pair of jeans last Christmas, I cried. Actually bawled like a baby in the middle of the River Island changing rooms!

Have 2 pairs of size 8 jeans now, was the most fantastic feeling in the world when I tried them on thinking they would be too small, but lo and behold they fit! It's very exciting

Congrats on the size 8 dress!

I can't even begin to imagine that *one day* I will fit in size 8 jeans! I used to struggle to get into a 14! I would be happy to fit comfortably into a 10, but I reckon 119lbs would have me in size 8's..

 

[Whitey27]

All you girls are making me feeling bad for not exercising. I did a long run last week and put my back out some how. It feels better today but nervous to go out again and hurt it until after I see my physio tomorrow....

Ps hope you don't mind me squatting in your group - I'm 2lbs off joining you officially. Roll on wi day.... Xxx

 

[downtownsuzie]

You're more than welcome hun, good luck for WI! Hope you're back is ok.

I see you're in Wimbledon, I used to live in Tooting (or should that be lol)
