That must be so satisfying!
I've only been doing SW for less than 3 weeks, but at the weekend I tried on a dress that I'd bought online but didnt fit me, but I'd decided to keep as it wasn't a mile off. It now zips up no problem without me looking like a squashes sausage! Cannot wait to be able to wear the half of my wardrobe that doesnt fit

These kind of stories give me more motivation than anything else - it's such a great feeling but sadly it hasn't happened to me in a very long time!

After 6 months with Slimming World I'm now more excited and motivated than ever before because in the coming months at 25 I will get to experience so many firsts, first time weighing less than 160! first time wearing a size 10! first time having a healthy BMI!!!
I'll get there even though I'm a bad slimmer, I drink more than I should, I cut corners, I didn't have a few off plan days I had a few off plan months! But ultimately I'm only human and if it wasn't going to be a struggle I wouldn't need to join in the first place!
Fizzle sticks you are giving me such inspiration! Especially that you've not been perfect with it, but manage to go back to back on plan and keep losing
The bit in bold actually speaks to me because it challenges a whole heap of assumptions that I have about my shape. I'd have been a bit like you in that I probably hadnt been a size 10 since I was actually 10 years old, and I'm always telling myself that if I can just get back to size 14 being comfy, that I'll be happy with that, because I'm tall, and I can carry it, etc etc, basically that a BMI under 25 is not possible, and that I wouldnt look well at that weight - but honestly I think its because I have never been that weight in my adult life so I can't see myself like that.
Its so encouraging that you're almost there, despite sharing some of the same preconceptions! And that you've still had a life!0 -

A bowl of Special K Nourish - Hazelnuts, Almonds and Pumpkin Seeds
40g serving 162 cal
Not sure if any more info is needed?
Thank you
Hi Betsy, working out syns is not my forte so I'll leave that to the others but one thing I'd say is that its really important on SW to try to eat real foods where you can and save your syns! There are tonnes of syn free breakfast options, and then lots of others using your HexB allowance.
If you're trying to get your head around SW, then thats the first things I'd try to do - eat real, whole foods as much as possible as likely they'll be free
The only time I have syns for breakfast is at the weekends when I make myself a bacon and egg sandwich with by HexB bread and maybe 1-2 syns for some ballymaloe relish/ketchup. Or another one I like is the baked oats, so 1/2 syn for baking powder and my 40g of oats using my hexB.
During the week I eat a lot of 0% natural yogurt and fruit as I can bring it to work in my handbag, or I make scrambled eggs in the microwave before I leave home (super quick) and then bring fruit wtih me for speed.0 -

Thanks SarahMollie.
Yeah I just bought the box of cereal at the start of the week and I said I'd use it up as it's on my desk. I only have about 2 bowls left in it.
I've been doing loads of research this morning, I have all my lists of healthy extras etc and there are tons of breakfasts I can eat syn free - it's great!
So I'm only finishing the cereal and then I'm starting 'properly' on Friday after I've been to my first meeting tomorrow night.
Doing a shop tonight to get nice food to get me started.
I love natural yoghurt so I plan on buying tub of that for the fridge at work that I will eat in the morning with lots of fruit or I will make overnight oats as often as I can as I love them.0 -

I have quinoa most mornings - just be warned that it's technically a tweak :rolleyes: ... but who cares lol0 -
