Extra Easy: Sparkles food diary - a fresh start

Well, for those that remember, I did brilliantly last summer and lost 18.4lbs in 8 weeks and really found my footing with Slimming World. Then things slipped after my holiday, and try as I might time and time again, I could not fully get back on track.
Recently my running halted all together also due to injury, and this morning my scales at home read the heaviest I have ever been!
I bit the bullet, and joined the local class tonight as I need all the support and encouragement I can get!
In class I weighed in at 11st 12.5lbs (which is better than my home scales but I did follow plan for breakfast and lunch so that probably made a difference).
My heel is on the mend so I'm going to ease back into my running too.
Here's to a fresh start! See you tomorrow for an all new food and exercise diary!
 
Yeah, Extra Easy is brilliant and fits in well with family life, especially as I love to batch cook as I have busy working days Tuesdays and Wednesdays!
My first aim is half a stone, my club 10 is 1st 3lbs off, and my target I set today is 9st. I'm only 5'1" short so that still a bit high for me but we'll see how I feel as I near that target!
 
Here to subscribe! I lost just over 1.5 stone last year, then just gave it up. Came back 2 weeks ago and put on 1/2 in my first week! Stayed to class though and next weigh in is tomorrow. Was completely off plan on Sat but hoping i've done enough since then to get a loss.

I also started running this year, got up to 3.5 miles then got an ankle injury, it's slowly getting better so hoping to get back to running soon, it was so great the release it gave me!

Looking forward to reading your diary entries Suzie, my name is also Suzi! Well Suzanne but everyone calls me Suzi. :) x

Haven't decided on my lunch yet today but my friend is also doing sw and had gammon and sw chips for tea, so on my way home after my kids dance class last night we went straight into asda for gammon lol!
Also won a Dermalogica facial at a local salon last night so having that later as a lovely, we'll needed treat!
 
Facial was amazing, so have booked in for another in 6 weeks time, hope I'm a good bit lighter by then!
