What a fantastic thread!

I am going to join slimming world tonight, dreading that initial weigh in but hopefully once that is out of the way the figure will only get smaller!

I am sure I will be in and out of this thread as I am useless when it comes to planning meals, I never seem to be able to think about what to have for tea and always find myself having chippy, pizza or kebab!

Looking forward to a fresh start tomorrow.

That's fantastic news hun :)
I'm glad you like the thread. I've been doing sw now since April 2009 and I love it. Pretty much at target now too so it's good to be here.

If you can get a copy of Bella magazine there is a free membership voucher in there to join.

Good luck and let me know how you get on.
I'm always trying new recipes, it stops me getting bored.
Also the latest Slimming World mag is great, lots of recipe ideas for Christmas plus a free calendar.

Great your going - i find it really good:)
 
Well I went and joined tonight, it wasn't such a shock getting onto the scales and I am hoping that is the last time I EVER see that weight!

I am aiming for a stone for Christmas, fingers crossed.

Just need to mumble my way through the rest of the week until pay day and I can stock up on free foods then :) x

Well done - you've done the hardest part.....joining! I started at the end of June 2010 and I've lost 29.5lbs so far. My weigh-in is tonight so fingers crossed.

I love the eatting plan - even now, I can not get over the amount of food that you can eat. I'm never hungry.

Good luck and hope you get on great. We're all here if you have any questions.
 
Tonight I had a lovely dinner, didnt fancy making anything that meant id spend ages in the kitchen so we had a couple of wholemeal pitta breads toasted then topped with passata and melted cheese, served with loads of salad and some Mccain Smiles. It was lovely and doesnt one bit feel like you are on a diet drool x
 
This is a great poem.... alot of people complain about only losing a 1lbs but I think a loss is a loss :)

Only One Pound of Fat

Hello! Do you know me?
If you don’t, you should.
I’m a pound of fat.
And I am the happiest pound of fat
that you would ever want to meet.
Want to know why?
It’s because no one ever wants to lose me.
I’m only one pound, just a pound!
Everyone wants to lose …
three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds,
but never only one.
So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.
Then I add to myself, ever so slyly,
so that you never seem to notice it.
That is until I’ve grown to …
ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.
Yes, it’s fun being only one pound of fat,
left to do as I please.
So, when you weigh in,
keep right on saying,
“Oh, I only lost one pound.â€
(As if that were such a terrible thing)
For you see, if you do this,
you’ll encourage others to keep me around
because they’ll think I’m not worth losing.
And, I love being around you …
your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips
and every part of you.
After all, I’m only one pound of fat!
 
All these weight losses are great!

I lost 2lb this week:) very happy with that.

The meeting was great - more of a social night with everyone bringing homemade syn free soup to taste - drinks provided and breads.

Several were vegan so I could try them, everyone liked the butternut squash and red lentil one I took.

Found it all quite motivational tonight and several people said they could tell I'd lost.

11.5lb now so hope i get to 1 stone in next 2 weeks.
 
Well done ladies, Well I'm sorry to put myself to shame here but I gained the 3lbs I lost last week. I was poorly last week and had a bad few days off plan so put it down to that, plus usually I dont lose that much.
Fresh start today though so back on it :)

:)):)):))Well Done!!! x
 
Thanks, been to a great place in Birmingham today - Hey Pesto! really cool sandwich/salad bar where you chose your base of cous cous or brown rice then add lots of salad items. Just had it for tea.

Really SW friendly - I had onions/chick peas/tomato/brocolli/sweet potato/peppers etc, they also do lean meats/fish/egg etc then you add a dressing - the owner got me some fat free balsamic dressing.

They get a lot of SW members in there.

I got a DIY fruit salad from Sainsburys salad bar, had taken a yoghurt so that was lunch.

Trying to be good today as it's the Vegan festival tomorrow so my flexi syns day:) still can't allow myself to go over the top.

After seeing me last week my friend text to say she has joined SW:)

Had my organic hair colours and a cut today then went into town - nice day:)
 
Also I found a skirt in Debenhams - John Rocher really long denim maxi skirt - I'd tried the 18 on before my Rome holiday in summer and loved it but didnt get it for some reason think I could not decide between the 18 or 20. Wanted one for ages.

They were reduced today but only had the 18 and a 14 so I tried the 18 on - too big, Id need a 16 but none there so I've brought the 14 and I will be wearing it next spring - just hope I can get in it thenrolleyes

I'm going to hang it up on my wardrobe - my motivational skirt:))

Had a mad moment at 11.30pm last night and tried loads of tops and jeans on and have baged up 6 pairs of jeans and 20 tops and they have gone to Happy Staffie charity shop - can't have too many evenings like that I'll have no clothes left!

Well my flexi syns day went better than I thought. Feel I totally stayed in control of my eating at the Midlands vegan festival:)

I resisted temptation very well as lots of nice vegan cakes there!

Breakfast - beans/toms/mushrooms

Lunch - Pumpkin and pepper soup, 1 slice bread

Dinner - jacket potato, beans and 28g soya cheese plus side salad

At festival - 2 squares chocolate, 1 breadstick to sample small amount of a pate and a new range of vegan soft cheese, 2 apples.

I looked at all the cakes and my fave stall had sold out of the huge slabs of choc fudge cake so I had a small piece of 'choc mud pie' basically a biscuit base that I left and topping made from tofu, agarve syrup and cocoa - tasted fab.

Considering what I could of eaten I think I did ok.

Not sure how to work out syns today?

Back on track now - will work out syns for the soft cheese I have brought home and the pate.
 
Yes thanks:)

I love vegan festivals as a good chance to meet up with vegan friends, met another friend who lives nearby too. I also met a member of the rabbit forum for the first time which was nice, she and her OH liked the festival.

Lots of good shopping and nice food and a lot of rescues made a good amount of money.

I also popped into Next on my way over and found a pair of long leg jeans that were a good fit - still needed the 18 but these were slim fit bootleg ones:) I'm not buying many clothes at the mo but did want a new pair of jeans.
 
I'm just about to cut up my pumpkin so going to make a lovely soup with it again as I enjoyed it last year :) x

it was very nice, I put chicken in it too x

I wouldn't put chicken in it though as I'm veggie! I'm sure there was a recipe on a SW booklet/magazine for it - if not, I've definitely got a healthy recipe for it somewhere.

I'm not looking forward to weigh-in tomorrow night - if I could at the very least stay the same I would be happy.
 
I'm dreading weigh in too this week as not been on the plan all week with that vegan festival, think it might of caught up with me? Small glimmer of hope in that my jeans did feel a bit loose today, so you never know!

I cant go to my regular meeting and am feeling guilty as its a nice group/leader but am going to go to the area managers class by work tomorrow after work at 5.30 as it suits me better this week.

I live in hope of losing as i wont of had tea before the meeting:))

I am going to make my friends pumpkin soup but without the cream - I tend to use a lot of Cherry's recipes and just replace the oil with fry light.

Be warned there are many very high syn vegan puds/cakes on here!
