Hi Guys, I have just joined this week and was hoping to join a team. I am not going to classes but have done SW B4 so know how it works, team motivation will really help me! Any chance I can join your team??

 

[hobbithead]

Welcome Katy. When Sarah logs on I am sure she will add you to the list!

Just quickly logging in at work as the laptop at home packed up when I was at WI last night (bad times) but I lost 3lbs (good times)

Hope everyone has a great day and hopefully my OH will have fixed it by the time I get home.

 

[sanicholl]

Congratulations on your loss hobbithead, 3lb is brillant - sorry to hear about the laptop though!

Welcome Katyy, I do sw at home too and find the motivation on her brillant. x

Hi everyone. Welcome all the newbies. It's great to see so many in the group now.

I'm supposed to be working so will try and keep this short. I managed to lose 5lb this week, so I've got rid of over half my holiday gain. I've been nominated for "Woman of the year" at group, so I'll be questioned next week, and I'll let you know how I get on. It's not really my sort of thing - I prefer to be in the background and I'm not good with public speaking, but everyone is really friendly so I should be OK!

I haven't had any spare time this week to come and chat - I've been busy working, and if I haven't been doing that I've been trying to keep the kids entertained, and out walking loads in the evenings with friends. Maybe I'll get more time this week.

Good luck to everyone this week and well done to all the losses last week.

 

[sanicholl]

Fantastic loss Viki, You are doing really well no wonder you are up for Woman of the year!!! x

 

[Mrs V]

Wow some amazing losses so far this week!!! Keep it up everyone!
Im now back on track again, so hoping for a good loss next week (hopefully loose the 2lb gain and a little bit more, but I can hope cant I??) Lol

 

[littlehobbit]

wow vicki thats an amazing loss!
im jst in from WI.gained half a pound
kinda upset because iv never had a gain before.
but i do understand why and im just going to start afresh this week.I have bought a big shop and made a food plan.heres to a great weight loss! i want to lose my 5 pounds to get my stone award by end of august at least!

 

[Katyy]

thanks for the welcome notes, so am i officially part of the team? I am very new to forums and new to being back on SW so you will have to bear with me whilst i find my feet! Reading peoples weight loss really makes me want to do well, I have already lost over 3 and a half stone but have been stuck at this weight for a few weeks! Need a big massive kick up the backside to get the next stone off! I want to be 2 stone lighter by Christmas!!!! OMG!!!

Katy x

 

[Mrs V]

Katyy, with determination you can get that 2 stone off in time for Christmas...have you joined the Christmas challenge too???
Im aiming for 1 and half stone for Christmas..anything else will be a bonus!

 

[sanicholl]

Hey Katyy, You will have that 2 stone off in no time, if you think of it like this: there are 19 weeks to christmas and only 28 lbs in 2 stone so that is only 1.5lb per week, that is really dooable!! Anyway we will help you along the way.

I have decided to increase my target weight to 8st 10lb so hoping to loose an additional 4lbs from my original target of 9st. Saying that if I looking too thin then I will increase my goal again but I do think that 8st 10lb should be about right as I am only short and any weight really shows - also hoping to loose a little from my boobs as I am sure they weight a stone all by themselves (I do hope they don't droop though! well not any more than they have after 2 kids!)

 

[Katyy]

I am really hoping that changing my eating habits again will do the trick, I did slimming world a while a go so I am going through the recipies and creating my shopping list!! I have the biggest sweet tooth ever so anything to stop these craving will be a help, when you break it down like that shirley it seems really doable! I go to the Gym 2 times a week so maybe stepping that up to 3 times that might help! I really want to do it, we are trying to have a baby and my next appointment before I can get fertility treatment is the 7th December and I need to be 1.5 stone lighter by then! So I am really hoping the support of the forum will help!! Thanks guys xxx

 

[pinksaz]

ive had a BAD week i put 3lb on :cry:

sarah x

 

[sanicholl]

hey Katyy, I have an enormous sweet tooth and find that having a small bar of mint aero helps and is only 5 syns. Also there is a recipe on here for 1.5 syn lemon fairy cakes. They are quite nice too!!
