.I was sure I posted this weeks results on Wednesday,mustnt have saved .lol.Lost one and a half pounds,now only half a pound away from Club 10 target

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 1-18 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! 🙂

Try to keep your focus @Dusty48! Don't let your hard work and determination slip away 🙂

Hi Dusty,
Why dosent Mr Dusty eat the same as you? i dont cook different meals, although hubby is slimming as well now but wasnt when i first started, he just has potatoes where as i dont and also he can have more syns,i dont have syns in my meals have all my syns on a sat with a picky tea

 

[goosey]

Reporting a miserable 1lb loss, thought it would have been more

 

[Hazel]

I won't be weighed on Sat as I am off to the Birmingham meet.

Don't be disappointed @goosey - I tend to look at weight lost over the month, not on a weekly results. It is heading in the right direction

My husband is African,and still eats mostly african styled food.He has fixed tastes,wont make any compromises.He loves curries,and rice,roast potatoes,and only eats veg in a peanut butter sauce!Very high on the carbs side. Somehow he has reached his 80s fit as a fiddle 🙂 But all those carbs and sauces are a no-go area for me now,I find it easier,though time consuming, just to make separate meals for myself.

You are so right,Northerner,its all psychological really,wrong mind set and things go pear shaped. I have several health and personal issues which are distracting,,and I havent really focused hard on the SW plan. Really I have just avoided bread,potatoes,cakes and biscuits,and sweets. This has been enough to get rid of the best part of 3 stones,but it looks as if that is no longer enough. I admit I just dont feel enthusiastic about the new style SW Easy Extra. I need to really try to to get in the mindset.

I think you are doing so well though Goosey! Do you look at Lifeline Online? I love the graph of my weight loss,because apart from 3 maintained plateau lines,its steadily pointing downwards. lol.

 

[Dusty48]

I had a shocking time last week,putting on 4 lbs at one point,so my final getting a half pound loss was a triumph.I have now reached my Club 10.hopefully leading to health benefits,(lower BP,cholesterol etc)

1st goal - Get out of the morbidly obese level,i.e.below 35 BMI. COMPLETED 1/8/17

(week 20 weigh-in: 12th Sept ) - lost half a pound

Have to set a new mini target.Think I'll try reducing my BMI in smaller segments,perhaps 2 (12 lbs) points at a time.

Well done on the loss and club 10

 

[Dusty48]

Lost 2 lbs this week.Weather was slightly better at times so I managed some exercise,which I always feel helps the weight loss. Being stuck in the house just adds to the temptation to eat! lol.
