Congrats. Thats a fantastic achievement.

Didn't go last week and was up half a pound but I'm happy enough with that. I've been sick and things are stressful here plus easter. .....going to try and be better this week

Congrats dobbs. That is fantastic. I still have not started. I just ate a magnum and a bag of maltesers. I have signed up for an exercise class next week so hope that helps my motivation. I did get my books out and whilst I am following the meals it is the extra rubbish I need to cut out. Terrible sweet tooth.

Annjan

Ash23 it's stress what makes me eat too. Hope things improve

7lbs off this week I finally started doing a bit of body magic which seems to have paid off! Also did three super speed days. Hopefully I can keep the motivation going now. I'm finding it really tough at the moment.

Annjan

Whiplash that's fantastic loss. What is body magic and what are the super fast days. Can't see it in my books. Ok it's Monday today so all motivated for a new week. Making other changes in my life which will hopefully help me too.

Thanks Body magic is exercise. They have four different levels: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. I'm doing the bronze award so you have to exercise on at least three days a week with a total time of at least 45 mins in the week. You do that for 4 consecutive weeks to get the award. I think you can skip the bronze and start off with the silver or gold if you're already active. Obviously the amount of exercise increases at each level.

Super speed is a way of boosting weight loss. Instead of having 1 third of each meal super free food, you have two thirds. You don't use any syns on those days and only use super free foods to snack on. I joined online rather than go to group so sorry if that's not 100% right! My friend who goes to group explained it to me that way.

Annjan

Thank you for that. I might give that a go. I actually have an online account for sw so will have a look. Need to re familiarise myself with all the foods but have my books out and am reading them.

I amn't in that area but I get mine in the local Tesco.

Thanks. Tesco Rathfarnham seems to be very poor in stocking these items, perhaps its too small, but they have a limited product range compared to other tescos. I will try elsewhere, so thank you.

I've just found this board!
Really good to see that a lot of people are in the same boat.

Down 6 and a half pounds today. I'm a half a pound from 7 and a half stone award. I worked harder this week than ever before the results were there to be seen. Slimming world is fantastic. :):)

Well done what a great achievement. Im 2 stone 2 pounds down now but feel im stuck at that for awhile now, do you do superspeed days or anything in the week?

Anne Other

I'm back and up!

But on track (with a minor stress flop yesterday)

Couldn't exercise yesterday but will today.

I couldn't believe how awful sluggish and rotten I felt when I wasn't eating well.

Congrats on the losses.

I've lost 18lb so far, have more to go, but feel I am hitting a brick wall at the minute too.
I am under a lot of pressure at work at the moment so OH is doing a lot of the food preparation to help and it's not very helpful in SW terms. I am hoping the exercise, water and fruit will help.

Annjan

Morning all. I'm down 1lb and feel I'm back in the zone. Thanks for the body magic tip. I signed up to the walk across the Chanel so I have 12km completed. Delighted and feeling not as sluggish or tired so I can relate to what you are saying ann other. Well done on the losses.

Does anybody know is the wheat and gluten free bread that is in aldi, the small little loaf(same size as hovis nimble), counted as a healthy extra? I can't remember the name of it so I'm hoping some of you know what I'm talking about

Whiplashy

2.5 pounds down this week Delighted as I went slightly over my syns twice, and had all 15 syns every other day!

Compare the fibre amount in each. Thats what counts.

I threw out my hovis wrapper. I will compare them again or look into more online later. I just thought someone might know off hand. Thanks.
