Christmas Cake

I have always been a firm believer that I wasn't a fan of Christmas Cake, but the cake in the new Festive Feasts book from group looked really good... so I gave it a go! And it was amazing! I have had cake for breakfast everyday this week... So I'm not holding out hope for a loss tomorrow! I would recommend this AND I think its worth the 5.5 syns per slice! I've had half a dozen taste testers so far and every single one of them has approved! (I have brutally honest friends so I know they're being honest) I need to make another one already and I only made it on Monday Night!!! Taking the rest of this for group to sample tomorrow and then need to look at making another this weekend, there will definitely be a few of these consumed over the festive season!

Weigh Day

So weigh day saw me gain 0.5lbs last night, and I'm okay with it! Normally when I lose a lot one week (7lbs last week) I then gain around half of it the week after so my main aim this week was to try my best to maintain or have a tiny gain and not splurge and ruin my hard work. I'm now 8.5lbs to my target weight and I want to get there for Christmas which is completely do able if I put my mind to it. Onwards and downwards!

Christmas Wish

So we got our little baubles last night to help keep us on track. It's completely up to us where we keep it, and I haven't decided yet, but I've taken a photo of it so I can set it as a background on my phone if I want to remind me of why I'm doing this. After my big 7lb loss last night I am now 8lb from target which should be completely doable by Christmas if I keep my mind to it!
What's your Christmas wish??

Christmas Target

So has anyone realised how quickly Christmas will be here?

Today is 100 days until Christmas Day!
I currently have 11lbs to lose until I reach my target, I would quite like to lose a stone (to put me 3lb under) so I know I can over indulge over Christmas and still be within target. Does anyone else have a plan? I know a lot of social calendars get booked up pretty quickly this time of year with nights out/birthdays/christmas parties etc. Have you actually looked to see if you have any full weeks on plan between now and then?

I'm struggling at the moment with maintains and very small losses so I know I need to switch it up and try new things if I have any hope of getting to target for Christmas... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

I'm going to try and be a lot more active on here and on instagram (doylie_sw) as I find it really helps me stick to plan if I'm being honest about where I'm at and what I'm eating!

Would love to know if any of you have set targets for Christmas and any plans of action?

Slimming World Xmas Party

A couple of pics from our celebratory party! The first is a very synful cake made by one of the guys in our group. Incredible!

The second is my Xmas jumper, a SIZE 12! My target size, now just need my target weight!

And the third is a comparison photo to remind myself just how far i've come. Last Thursday I knew I was going to gain, and I was fine, but then I started kicking myself about how I had sabotaged getting my target in time for xmas. And then timehop threw up the picture on the right. And it instantly made me realise how far i've come since that picture was taken. No matter how off plan I will be over Christmas, I know I won't get back to that, and whatever the damage is will be gone in January!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Heres to an amazing 2016!

MIA

Apologies for the lack of posting recently. I've had a week off from work to get ahead with my christmas shopping and what not, so had a full week off plan. I've then come down with the lurgy so am still not completely back on plan as feeling super sorry for myself! I will be back soon!

Weigh Day

I am ecstatic that I managed to lose 4.5lbs this week. Determination paid off! But also a little gutted it wasn't 1 extra lb so i'd get my 2 stone! Ah well, next week!!!

Weigh Day

-1lb which I definately wasn't expecting after feeling crappy all week.
definately need to shake things up and start cooking different meals, feel like i'm eating the same meals all the time.
What's everyones favourite thing to make?

Biscuit Fix!

Decided to make a few new things to mix it up a bit. First on my list was these lovely biscuits from the Christmas book, I didnt decorate them so they are only approx 1 syn each and great for dipping in your brew!

Official Holiday Gain

So after being shocked I had gained just under 8lbs on Saturday I am ecstatic with just a 4lb official gain from my jollies, considering I missed 2 weigh ins so really it is only 2lb a week.

Hopefully that will be off in no time!
Back on plan and 1 st 4 lbs to lose by Christmas, I hope!
