After having a pretty good weigh in last week I was determined to try and get that other 3lb off this week in order to get back to my pre Christmas weight. It doesn’t seem so hard in the grand scheme of things, does it? I was actually doing okay for the couple of days after weigh in, then I hit rock bottom emotionally and ate all kinds of junk. Just some of it being a Chinese takeout, half a layer of a box of Thorntons chocolates, and half a bag of sharing M&M’s – yes, that bad. It was those M&M’s on Saturday night that made me realise that I was actually just sabotaging myself and I wouldn’t be getting anywhere if I carried on like that, so I decided I needed to do some damage limitation.

From Sunday morning until weigh in on Tuesday evening, I did EESP to try and pull myself back a bit and get my head back in it. I do like the SP plan for a boost (and for the fact that I can have two healthy extra b choices) but boy do I miss my yogurts and bananas, which I usually eat every day!

Before I get to my weigh in update, here are some on plan meals from my week:

This was supposed to be the meat feast pizza from the fakeaways book but there was barely enough dough for me let alone my husband and two kids 😂 So I used low fat tortilla wraps instead and we all got a bigger ‘pizza’ for pretty much the same syns! Really tasty though using the pizza sauce recipe from the book too #slimmingworld #slimmingworlduk #sw #swuk #swfamily #swfriends #swmafia #swsupport #swfood #weightloss #weightlossjourney

The last few days I have been really bad food wise so trying a few #eesp days before weigh in on Tues to give me a kick up the arse and try and get my head back in it! Breakfast – apple, orange, peach with sweetened quark. Lunch – leftover pulled pork with mozzarella (half HEA) and pickles. Dinner – chicken with veg. Have enjoyed it actually, I think especially as I can have 2 x HEB’s 😂 And have barely used any syns up until now so I can have a guilt free choccy treat! 😋 #slimmingworld #slimmingworlduk #sw #swuk #swfamily #swfriends #swmafia #swsupport #weightloss #weightlossjourney #swfood #synfree

Day 2 of #EESP and feeling like I am getting my groove back! • #breakfast – sweetened quark with berries and 0.5 syn of @sweetfreedomuk choc shot • #lunch – ham & cheese omelette with mushrooms and spring onions and 0.5 syn of brown sauce • #dinner – fake steak bake (using HEB. Also Asda didn’t have own brand tinned steak so had to use Princes at 1.5 syns per portion) with BNS chips and beans #slimmingworld #slimmingworlduk #sw #swuk #swfamily #swfriends #swmafia #swsupport #weightloss #weightlossjourney #swfood #lowsyn

Onto my weigh in. Although I’d had my meltdown in the middle of the week, I was hoping for even a tiny loss after three days of SP. I was so nervous when I stepped on the scales, especially as it was flickering for a couple of seconds. Eventually it stopped on the same number as last week to show that I had a maintain. I was a little bit gutted but I knew I had brought it on myself so I actually felt relieved that it wasn’t more.

My stats for this week (week 50):

• starting weight – 13st 4.5lb
• previous weight – 10st 5lb
• current weight – 10st 5lb
• loss this week – maintain
• loss so far – 2st 13.5lb
• Club 10 target weight – 11st 13.5lb
• final target weight – 9st 7lb
