The Yo-Yo Strikes Again! | Slimming World Weigh In Week 44

[@hjcdormouse7337]

Denise your hair looks fantastic. I managed to get my haircut after a hospital appointment. I waddled out like Robocop splints both knees and hands to wrist😂 I chopped my long hair off end of last year and now sport a Jamie Lee Curtis funky cut. I love it washed to dry and styled 3 minutes my hairdresser knows me well and cuts to accommodate those days I am in so much pain but want my hair to feel good. I am glad you are just going to enjoy your holiday, and I bet you will find that as your understanding of food and has changed, your choices will be different but still able to embrace all food types, try new things and enjoy food in a different country/culture. I like your explanation about good week not just tied to weight loss on opposite side someone could lose 7lb and be presumed to have a good week but something awful had happened in week ergo not a good week. We can not live without food we have to learn to live with food. My daughter has come over this week with intention of helping us sort through loads of stuff we seem to have acquired after both sets of parents died...it is overwhelming but oh she is a little pocket rocket however her and her dad wanted Indian Takeaway how I need a award in how to order meal and eat without her realising I am on SW....I solved it my saying oh I really fancy peppery boiled rice I will make my own and asked Takeaway if I could have some prawns spiced and raw so I could put in Airfyer to show daughter how easy to cook with....it worked she was oh mum yours tastes lovely and hmm Airfryer is OK...phew Rest of week meals planned my bug hurdle is 3 days to Glasgow in June...I may well email for suggestions on where to eat. Have a fantastic holiday the pair of you 😊

Hi Dormouse! Thank you so much! I love my new shorter hair. I’m glad your hairdresser was able to style your hair in a way that suits your needs, that’s what it’s all about! You are right, regards food choices. I do choose higher protein items and I am aware of higher syn items at first glance now too. I’m glad your daughter has been able to pop over to help you. I understand the process of going through someone else’s belongings, it is overwhelming and can be rather emotive too. You want to do best by the person but also know that you cannot keep everything too. I’m glad to hear you’re looking forward to your Glasgow trip. Please do email me, if I can suggest a few places to help you, then I will! Take care 🩷 xx

Hi Annemarie! Thank you! 🩷 I am so glad that you found my channel and can see the difference, it is quite stark. I do occasionally have a glimpse at old videos and I can’t believe how much things have changed for the better. We are very excited about going away, and looking forward to sharing our holiday with you all too. Thanks for supporting me 🩷 take care xx

Your hair looks lovely Denise, I know last weeks weigh in was a bit of a surprise but you didn't go out and self sabotage which is a massive achievement. Enjoying life and food is all part of the journey and also preparation for when you reach your target. Have a wonderful time in Copenhagen and I look forward to seeing it if you get the time to film. Safe travels xxx

[@ScottishFoodieLassie]

Hi Kim! Thank you so much. I fancied a change regards the length. We landed safely and we are all checked in. Time for sleep soon, but can’t wait to explore the city tomorrow! Thank you for watching 🩷 xx

Hi Denise, how amazingly well you have done, not only losing weight but by staying focused and having enough confidence in yourself to know your capabilities. I admire your new strengths well done you. Have a wonderful time in Copenhagen xx❤

Hi Judith! Thank you so much for your kind words, I really do appreciate it. I love how you have called my new found confidence as a strength, it really is! Something that I’ve always lacked to a certain degree, but now nothing stops me. I am really looking forward to our trip away 🩷 take care! Xx

[@ScottishFoodieLassie]

Hi Marie. Thank you so much for your very lovely words, I do very much appreciate your support at all times. I am very sorry to hear that you had a terrible accident at Christmas. I’m glad that you find my videos helpful, please don’t worry about your gain at the moment. Your body has been through a terrible time, sending you best wishes for a good recovery 🤗🩷 xx

[@lorainebryce8229]

Another good update video. You’re looking fab and love your hair. Sometimes people should maybe think more before they speak as weight loss is very personal. I’m glad you didn’t let it change your mood. That just shows how strong you are. Well done ☺️ have an amazing holiday 💞

[@ScottishFoodieLassie]

Hi Lorraine! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words. I’m glad it didn’t affect me, old Denise would have cried. It does just show the difference in me and how I cope. Thank you so much for supporting me 🩷 xx

[@DennisNowland]

You are doing great. It stands the reason if you lose a load of weight one week, you’re going to probably gain some of the following week. But when you’re trying to lose weight and trying really hard, it can still be disappointing. You are sticking to your plan and I’m sure you’ll get there.

[@ScottishFoodieLassie]

Hi Dennis! Thank you so much. Any gains don’t phase me now, at the stage of weight loss that I’m at. I am looking forward to a few days away and then refocusing on my goals until we go on holiday again next month. Thanks for the encouragement and, for watching my video. I really appreciate it! Thanks x

[@singer-it7tq]

Looking well Denise 🥰

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed my video xx

[@tinaturvey2301]

Hi Denise, your hair looks really nice. I admire your honesty in the vlogs. I think it's so important. You're quite right a gain does not necessarily mean a bad week. I've had hip op and was told to expect gain of 10 to 15 pounds. Not been back to group yet after op just trying to stick to plan as best as I can. Will be going to group after a little more recovery time. Xx

[@ScottishFoodieLassie]

Hi Tina! Thank you so much, I’m glad you like my new hairstyle. Oh no, hip surgery can take quite a while to recover from. I’m glad you are taking it easy and being mindful that your body has been through a lot. I hope you continue to recover, and are most of all feeling well. Take care xx

[@sammyrichardson7305]

I only have a few lbs to hit target and just can’t get there for some reason. I have spent two years with only a few gain weeks in all that time but for the last few weeks I seem to be getting 0.5 lb on or off and now two maintains. So frustrating as I just want to get to target and continue my journey from there. I honestly can’t say I am doing anything different than all the other weeks so it’s so strange. Thanks for the video ,you are looking great

[@ScottishFoodieLassie]

Hi Sammy, lovely to hear from you today. I’m sorry to hear that you’re frustrated just now, but you will get there, it will happen! I have every faith in your success and I have felt the same at times - very frustrating. Thank you for your kind words 🩷 take care xx

[@GH_SW]

That was an unhelpful comment. There are some interesting discussions about weigh ladies on the Secret World of Slimming CLubs podcast, so I think your experience is not uncommon. Have a fabulous break - I met my target just before my holiday and then lost another pound the day we flew!

[@ScottishFoodieLassie]

Hi GH! I haven’t checked out that podcast yet, but I will look out for it. Thanks for sharing! I am not weighing this week before we go, so will deal with any gains once I’m home. My plan is to be back to my usual SW days Mon-Fri next week and then weigh in on the Saturday morning, since I’m away this week. Thanks for your encouragement 🩷

[@lynneosborne5200]

I like that lenth of hair because you can twist the hair. It looks good x

[@ScottishFoodieLassie]

Hi Lynne! Thank you so much. It’s the shortest hair I’ve had for a longgg time 😂. It is funny, when I do brush my hair, the brush just stops as it is so short now. In my head, I’m expecting to be brushing it downwards lol. Thanks for watching my video! X

[@lynneosborne5200]

@@ScottishFoodieLassie I know that feeling x

[@lucysnanpullen3780]

Love your hair Denise, you look amazing. Nobody has a right to make that comment, she had no idea what sort of week you have had, and, as you say, it was a good one. There is variety of reasons why you have had the small gain, but the comment that you have had a bad week is actually counterproductive. You are so much more confident in yourself and how how you look, and I know from experience how you feel when you can walk into a shop and there are so many clothes hanging on the rail that fit and you cannot believe that you don’t have to go to the “plus department” You are such a inspiration, just go to Copenhagen and have an amazing break away with James. You deserve it, you have worked so hard to achieve the losses you have xx

[@ScottishFoodieLassie]

Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️ I really love my new hair style, it feels easy to manage which is great. I’m glad you can see my point, I know she probably didn’t even know what she said or mean it, but it didn’t resonate well with me. It was such a great feeling being able to wear size 14 clothing now and wear dresses to work, plus shop in designer shops! Unreal 💜. I’m really grateful for your support, I will deal with the weight gains when I’m back, but before that, I’ll have an excellent holiday! Thank you so much 🩷 xx

[@sandrafinnegan]

You look amazing Denise, cut really suits you 😊

You look marvellous, so tiny. Can you imagine having fibromyalgia we suffer with sensory overload. My daughter has fibromyalgia as well and still hasn't recovered ❤

[@ScottishFoodieLassie]

Hi Jane, I hope you’re well. I can’t imagine how that must feel. I was glad to feel more comfortable at the salon though and it was a much more enjoyable experience! Thanks for watching 🩷 xx

[@joyceaberdour8402]

Lady who weighed you is not there to pass judgement or remarks. She is only there to weigh. It's not her class. I lost 6lb 4 weeks ago. Followed the same plan next week and only lost ½lb. As my class manager said its still 6½lb in 2 weeks. No rhyme or reason.... you're doing brilliantly ❤

[@ScottishFoodieLassie]

Hi Joyce! Lovely to hear from you. I hope you’re doing well? Yes, I do think she perhaps did say it without thinking, but it’s a mentality type thing that does worry me about some people who attend SW groups. I don’t want to get into that mindset, as for me, it is damaging. I’m so pleased to hear of your successful losses, you must be very happy! Well done you 🩷 take care xx

Ah your hair looks really beautiful ❤ she did a fab job xx you had a fab week and I’m sorry to hear the comment at the scales was unjust xx but please look at how far you have come xx you have done fantastic and I completely agree and resonate with all that you said about it all xxx great mind set to get into and something I need to work on xx I’m looking forward to seeing your city break xx xx xx you absolutely shouldn’t be on plan or feel guilty for taking a break xx xx xx we only live once and as long as you get back on track when back, and you sound absolutely focused to it will all be fine ❤ and it’s a much healthier way to be xx enjoy your week and I wait eagerly for your next upload xx xx xx

Hiya! Thanks for much, I love my new hairdo. She did make a lovely job of it, I will definitely be going back. Thank you so much for the reassurance and support - it was an uncalled for comment but I’m better than that. I will keep my head up high and aim higher again! Thank you so much for your support, I’m glad to hear that you’re looking forward to seeing clips from our city break. Copenhagen is very clean, and the locals are friendly and kind so far. Great first impressions 🤗❤️ I will be back on track once I’m home, that is a sure thing. Have a fantastic weekend when it comes lovely lady xxx

[@anthonymartyn5590]

Hi 👋 my name is Kate but I use my husband account lol, you have done fantastic with weight loss and you are looking beautiful, it could be water retention or where you are in your monthly cycle, just before a period I gain 4 or 5 Ib and after drop that weight, I have always blotted that week. I have had weeks of eating salad and stayed the same or gained a Ib or 2,over Easter I had 2 hot cross buns ,2 slices of lemon cake, 1 small bag of eggs,2 meals out and I lost 5ib so sometimes our bodies do funny things, keep on doing what you do because you are looking great,have a lovely holiday and eat a little bit of what you fancy lol,Kate 😊❤

[@ScottishFoodieLassie]

Hi Kate! Thank you very much 🩷 it sounds like you have had a lovely Easter and managed to enjoy a few delicious treats too. I will be definitely enjoying our holiday and dealing with any gains when I’m back. It’s a process and between now and our next holiday in May, it will keep me focused once I’m back home again! Thanks for your support 🩷 xx
