If you read about my first week with Slimming World then you’ll know that I had a fairly good loss of 3.5lbs which I was over the moon with. This week I was hoping to lose another 3.5lbs in order to get my half stone award. I think after a good loss in my first week I was a little more relaxed and not so strict, and I think it impacted me a bit so I’m right back to strict now. The thing I am worst with is picking at the kids food – so crumbs, leftovers, stealing a morsel from their plate before I give them it… But every little thing counts, doesn’t it?!

This week at group was taster week and there was some yummy food brought in. Someone made some bhaji like things, I think they were made from packet mash and rice – they were really nice and a great alternative! I made some chocolate jelly sweets and some ‘fizzy’ grapes, both 2 syns for the whole lot; they went down well too. We also found out about the new Slimming World meals coming out next month – I’m going to be stocking up on syn free sausages!

So, prior to my weigh in I was a little nervous as I’m always paranoid that I’ve gained, so any loss will please me really – though some more than others obviously! I stepped on the scales and I had lost… 1.5lbs! So not quite the 3.5lbs I was hoping for but I will make it next week as I really want that shiny! (PMA and all that…).

My stats for this week (I still haven’t set a final target):

• starting weight – 13st 4.5lb
• previous weight – 13st 1lb
• current weight – 12st 13.5lb
• loss this week – 1.5lb
• loss so far – 5lb
• Club 10 target weight – 11st 13.5lb
