Lost 1 lb this week.my usual.🙂 Nothing like Goosey and Hazel,but I dont think I have ever managed to keep to a plan for so long,without feeling deprived. I use almost all my syns every day,could probably lose an extra pound a week if I cut them down,but this way I can still have some potatoes,and extra cheese,plus my salad cream.I couldnt bear salad without plenty of cheese and salad cream. 🙂

MY STATS
Pre Slimming World:starting BMI - 40.Weight loss for March/April - 1 stone.
1st goal - Get out of the morbidly obese level,i.e.below 35 BMI. COMPLETED 1/8/17
2nd goal - reach my Club 10 target
******
SW weeks 1-16 weight loss - 1st 7 lbs
(week 17 weigh-in: 22nd Aug ) loss 1lb
loss 1st 8lbs

******
total loss for our challenge - 2 st 8 lb
BMI - 34.38

1lb more than me, well done:D:D:D
 
Well done for the weight lost. I was diagnose T2 in May of this year and was really struggling loosing weight and was on 3 mets a day. I now lost 4stone and on 1 tablet a day. I reduce my carbs to practically zero and bloods normal. When you think about it our bodies are not designed to eat carbs and fats. Even the birds in our local pond, the council have put up signs don't feed the birds bread. I always thought we treat our animals better than humans, now I know. I am not a doctor so leave it to you to try a week and see the difference?

In the scheme of things that's nothing to be ashamed about Hazel, I'm sure you'll improve by next week 🙂 I've actually put on half a stone whilst unable to exercise due to illness.
 
crikey Alan, that's not like you
 
Well done Goosey! You are doing so well. Had to drag myself to SW this week,in fact I didnt stay for class for the first time,and was happy to have maintained,as cooking and following plans went out of the window. I am recovering from a horrendous cystitis bout,almost a week of misery,still not completely well.
I hope to lose a pound this week,we'll see on Tuesday,but got to confess SW has been way out of my mind all week! :(.
Must wake up,my daughter joined SW,though in another group in another town,she lost 5.5lbs her first week,which was a consolation to my maintaining lol.
Puts me to shame.

SW weeks 1-18 weight loss - 1st 8 lbs
(week 19 weigh-in: 5th Sept ) - lost 1.5 lbs
loss 1st 9.5 lbs

******
total loss for our challenge - 2 st 9.5 lbs
BMI - 34.05.

Having a shocking week this week,far too much alcohol,lots of teacakes and biscuits,too busy to cook for myself on top of Mr Dusty's meals,so I have been eating his very rich,high carb meals,especially curries and rice,with a consequent bloating,and have added 4 pounds in 3 days. :( :( I always bloat with rice,and deliberately avoided eating it - till this week.Grrr.
September is a month full of challenges,with a host of family birthdays and occasions,troops of visitors all the time,I just havent even attempted to follow the plan properly at all.Think this might be the first time in 5 months to have a weight gain,which will be disappointing. Oh well,we'll see.Wish I could concentrate just on myself,perhaps try to eat only speed foods,but its difficult with all the family around all weekend.I usually cook loads of veg for myself,and add meat and fish I am preparing for Mr Dusty,but life has been hectic lately,I just havent had the time for all the extra veg preparation and cooking this week.The Extra Easy plan seems to depend on lots of cooking,or lots of money to buy ready made stuff! I longingly eye those ready meals at Iceland,but £3 a time for one meal is way out of this pensioner's pocket! 🙂
