Been a terrible week and after staying the same last week, I was up 1lb this week.
Feeling horrible and I have an interview next week for the first time in years and I feel like they're just going to take one look at me and say "Nope!" because of my weight.
Even the thoughts of having to go and buy myself "interview clothes" is killing me.
Sorry for the moan. Feeling stupidly sorry for myself today.
I'm sorry you've had a tough week
But you've lost the weight of a housecat?! Anyone who's had a cat fall asleep in their lap know's that's a considerable amount of weight to have lost, so don't downplay it!
Wishing you the best of luck with your interview, and with the clothes shopping (which I know from experience can be just as daunting!) - if you can, bring someone you trust to help you find something you feel confident in, or try a personal shopper service (you can do this in Debenhams and I'm sure it's available in other places too).
The more confident you feel, the better you will come across at interview, so focus on what you can bring to the job and you'll be able to convince them too
Hope you're feeling better, the only way is up! X0 -

Dee you should be either a motivational coach or agony aunt, your advice is perfect.
Best of luck with your interview pawneeranger xx0 -

Hi all! I just joined last monday and have been following this thread religiously since then. So much to think about but it's nice to see a community going here too:) I'm sure in time I'll have lots of questions!
Welcome!
SW is a great plan, you'll enjoy it.
I can't recommend measuring yourself enough - it can be a real boost on weeks when you might have smaller losses, maintains or gains, to be able to see a loss in terms of inches even if it doesn't always show on the scales.
When I started I measured my neck, shoulders, my chest (under the arms and at the bra line), my tummy at the navel, thighs, ankles and wrists. Even in the first few weeks it was amazing to see the difference on the measuring tape
Oh yeah and SW chips are the biz

Thats a great idea! Be great motivation to keep going too, those numbers won't be happy ones I'm sure:eek:
SW chips are on my must try list! I've kinda been winging it and throwing things in a pot and hoping they taste good, thankfully all my free food meals have! A long journey to go but at least I've taken my first step now:)0 -

Down 3.5lb last night, which was welcomed with excitedly open arms after my gain last week! I got my 2 stone award (would have been SOTW if it wasn't for last week's pesky gain!). I am now 2.5lb under the target that I have yet to change, so have a nice bit to play with for St Patricks Day 0

Hi everyone.
New to this thread but joined SW 4 weeks ago. Have lost 10.5lb so far looong way to go but thinking baby steps at first.
Question, what do you all have in slimmer of the week prizes? I joined one class which had a brilliant sotw of all free foods (tins tomatoes, beans, pasta, stock, fruit etc) and then I moved to another class (long story) and the sotw is just a bowl of fruit and it's the scabbiest looking bowl of fruit, like the pieces from your own fruit bowl that you wouldn't eat 0 -

Advise pls. How would you syn this thai takeaway (from camille)? I know it says 540 cals but everything is free in it except the sauce right?
King Prawn with Ginger and Thai Mushroom Stir Fry – Pad King – 540 calories*. With ginger and thai mushroom, asian greens, classic thai seasoning sauce, spring onions and steamed jasmine rice. €10.95
They probably have used a good bit of oil to cook the stir fry. Possibly prawns could be marinated in oil plus the sauce. Not sure how many syns in your dish but possibly quite high. 0 -

Hang glider for me - 56lbs Went back to work this week so haven't really been eating enough as I've college straight after work for two of the nights. I'm standing on the scales every day and didn't lose an ounce all week until this morning, I'm down a lb I sorted out holidays with my sw leader so I'll go to group on Tue morning and will be off for four weeks. She was so nice and helpful trying to sort out the best way to freeze my membership without it costing me a fortune and without losing my online access. I must buy a few recipe books, I'm starting to get bored of stew, lasagne, mushy pea curry and bolognese! I'm going out on the town tonight so am really thinking of forgetting about sw and having my vodka and redbull and enjoying it! I never get out and the diet redbull doesn't quite cut it for me. I won't be hitting abrakebabra or anything lol just the alcohol for me 0

Hi and welcome!
Unfortunately the white bread won't count as your B choice as it doesn't contain enough fibre - you're looking at 4.5 syns per medium slice from a large loaf
Put it down to experience!0 -
