Got to start again; gaining not losing. 😱

Made myself get on the scale at Boot's, I wish it was quieter though "no coach parties please" and I weighed in at 15stones 7pounds. Agh. Onward and downward...

Well done Lorraine. I once said to an Atkins buddy how hard can it be to lose two pounds a week, she said impossible, so you've achieved more than the impossible, well done. :D
 
Lost one pound again this week. I use quite a lot of my syns,about 10-12 a day,and am quite happy staying at this levelof weight loss for the moment,will reduce my syns later if the weight loss slows.
Did wish though that I had lost that other half pound to make up a straight two stone,but should manage it next week.🙂

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
******
SW weeks 1-10 weight loss - 12.5 lbs
(week 11 weigh-in 27th June) loss 1 lb - total loss 13.5 lbs

******
total loss for the challenge - 1 st 13.5 lbs
BMI - 35.67

1/2 pound is still very acceptable,2 lb a month.24 lbs a year! lol.
Oh dear,I have just joined a family history group,and had my first chocolate digestives in 4 months (a particular fave of mine). I ended up drinking a can of coke(not even diet) first time in several months. This week I took my jif lemon juice and made a hot drink,but they had no sweetener,so I had 2 spoonfuls of sugar,first sugar in 4 months! Sugar and biscuits at these last two meetings is probably the reason I havent lose that other half pound to make two stone! Was refilling my glycogen stores!:(

Well done on your loss, I too use a lot of my syns, but think I need to cut down. Got told off by my daughter yesterday for not doing enough planning, she has lost 91/2lbs with SW while I have lost 4lb, but I think age, the fact she lives in a block of flats with no lift, is on her feet at work and is not on any medication, do help her, oh and she has a dog that has to be walked. But she is right about the planning.

Still a loss. and "1/2 pound is still very acceptable,2 lb a month.24 lbs a year" is exactly how my daughter told me to look at it. Have to say my daughter is always a glass half full person.
 
I was happy with 1/2 as been away and also have lost well in the weeks i have been going
Lorraine planning it the key with SW, we always discuss what we are having for the week :D
 
Hi guys, I k ow I said I would check in weekly, but things just got hectic in life. Just an update. For the past 3 days I tried this diet called the military Diet, I thought let me see what this is about. So I dis it with no exercise and managed to lose near about 5lbs/2kg in 3 days. Really pleased with That, but most importantly I managed to half my insulin ratio from 2:1 to 1:1 which for me was really the break through. This will for sure be a diet I'll continue. I've attached an image of all you have to eat in those 3 days of the diet. Because it's a crash Diet, they recommend you do it 3 days on 4 days off. They say you can lose up to 10lbs in 3 days. So if someone did this for a month, they could lose up to 40lbs max.

It was hard but found it easy as I did it with some friends. It was more so an experiment to see if it actually worked. On the website there's a substitution list for all the foods.

Will try to have another go at it this coming week
 
Lost 1.5 lbs this week at SW. This coming week is likely to be rather tricky. My son is graduating ,and we have a big do on in celebration tomorrow.
Then Saturday its a family birthday,copious food - and drink!- so good luck with the diet 🙂
