WITH a target weight-loss of two stone for both our slimmers over a 12-week period, the finish line is starting to come into view – but are our slimmers where they want to be?
Clare Echo account manager Kieran Murphy had another steady week, losing half a pound however as we approach Week 7, he is at the same weight he was at the end of Week 2.
He explains, A“This week was a very tough week for me, with lots of challenges between family events and birthday celebrations. I have introduced cycling into this mix to support my weight loss but I am aware I can’t cycle away from poor choices!
“The plan for this week while I am on my holidays is to relax and enjoy it while being mindful of what I eat. I will choose the healthy options available and be mindful of the benefits of my choice.”

DENISE QUINN
This week I was thrilled to have lost half a pound as I was on holidays in Kerry. I was surprised how my mindset was different since joining Slimming World, especially when I was out of routine, eating out and socialising more than usual. Normally on holidays I would have been really lazy and taking full advantage of the break while this week I was full of energy because of my food choices and I went for walks, swimming in the sea and to the Gleneagle Hotel leisure centre and I felt amazing. I also found while eating out, my appetite was smaller and I wasn’t eating everything in front of me.
Of course I had a few treats and a few beverages (a few more than I planned). I loved the app this week which was so convenient while out and about helping with eating out choices and syns. I thought it would be very hard to get back on track but it wasn’t hard at all.
I am looking forward now that the holidays are over to achieving my target and seeing and feeling the benefits. To give me a little extra boost this week I am going to join Louise’s group on Friday at 9.30 am in Newmarket-on-Fergus.
This week Louise will be announcing the Slimmer of the Year while also having a tasting morning so I’m looking forward to this already.
