Weigh-in 5: Oh dear...

Well after four weeks of losing, I got sidetracked. I registered a gain of 3lbs. I know exactly where it came from: stress eating!

I've not been feeling great in my relationship and work has been stressful and I've been leaning on the crisps too much. So I've looked around at syn values for crisps to find some good options and alternatives:

Popcorn is a fab alternative and it gives that salty hit I'm looking for.

Boots Shapers maple syrup popcorn - 5 syns
Sainsburys mixed flavours popcorn (individual bags) - 2.5 syns
M & S salted popcorn bags - 4 syns


But, crisps aren't a no-go either:

Velvet Crunch - 4 syns
French Fries - 5 syns
Monster Munch - 5.5 syns
Walkers Baked - 5 syns

So I think my snacking options are there... No excuse to gain again next week!

Weigh-in 4: Still strong (and Slimming World Slimmer of the Week!)

So one month in and I am now 11.5lbs down! Yep, a further 2.5lbs closer to my goal. And I got Slimmer of the Week. It was quite exciting and now I have a lovely big bag of fruit to keep me going over the next week.

Hopefully I can keep this going as I am so close to that first stone award.

Weigh-in 3: Keeping going...

So heading into my third weigh-in, I was not expecting a huge loss as 7lbs a week isn't sustainable.

I was very pleased to see that my weight reduced by a further 2.lbs to 19 stone 4.5lbs. So my total weight loss is 9lbs. My clothes are feeling a bit looser... but no one notices but me. Oh well, it will happen soon enough.

And best of all? I feel a zillion times better!

Weigh-in 2: Making progress

After a week on plan - feeling well-nourished and never going without - I got on the scales tonight to see a weight loss of 7 lbs. My new weight is 19 stone 6.5lbs.

Losing such a large amount in the first week on Slimming World isn't a huge surprise. Usually people lose between 2 and 8 lbs.

So one week in I'm half-a-stone down, with a a shiny 1/2 stone sticker added to my book :)

Hoping next week I can stay on track....
