Displaying my stickers on a board

In the past when I’ve received awards at Slimming World I followed the accepted practice of putting the award stickers on my book.

However, I don’t bother taking my book to the group any more. I log all my weight losses in the Slimming World app, so I don’t bother with the book. I keep it at home in case I want to look anything up – but even then it’s often easier to look things up online.

So when I get an award, I take my sticker home and put it on a cork board that hangs in the kitchen. It’s a more visible reminder of my progress.

At the time of writing, I’m 8 weeks into going to Slimming World, and I’m rather pleased to have lost 1½ stones, and received SOTW and SOTM twice!

In fact, for a few weeks there – between my wife and I – we won SOTW three times in a row, and kept bringing home the same tin of kidney beans that we brought along to put in the SOTW basket!

How is Slimmer of the Week worked out?

An award is given out in each group for the Slimmer of the Week. This is given to the person (or persons) who have lost the most weight that week.

The winner is given a certificate and sticker to mark their achievement by the Slimming World consultant.

You are not eligible to be considered for Slimmer of the Week if you meet any of the following criteria:

  • You joined last week. The first week’s loss is often out of proportion to a more sustained regular weight loss.
  • You gained weight last week. Weigh loss following a gain is sometimes more dramatic.
  • You didn’t attend last week. In this case your loss may have covered more than one week. The exception to this is shift workers who often miss weeks due to work commitments – in this case, the consultant may factor this in.

Everyone is asked to bring along a piece of free food each week, to be given to the Slimmer of the Week to congratulate them. Your consultant will normally have a box or basket to collect this contribution.

Slimmer of the Month

The Slimmer of the Month is awarded to the person who has lost the most weight in a given calendar month. It is awarded during the last group meeting of the month.

You don’t have to have attended every week to be eligible for Slimmer of the Month, but you do have to be present at your regular group when it is awarded. If you’re visiting another group on the last week of the month, you can’t win the award in that group.

New members will also have their first week’s loss halved in the calculation of the most weight lost.

Four Awards in One Nightslimming world award certificates

Four Awards in One Night

HUMBLEBRAG ALERT!!!

It was kind-of embarrassing in class tonight, because I won a total of four different awards!

With a 4 pound loss this week, I got my 2½ stone award. And on top of that I also got my Club 10 award. And I got Slimmer of the Week and Slimmer of the Month! Talk about mortifying, as my consultant kept reading out my name, particularly as I’ve only had 2 weeks since I started Slimming World where I haven’t won an award for something!

I’ve lost 15½ pounds during the month of August. which I’m really pleased with. It works out at an average loss of just over 3 lbs a week. And with a loss that good, I was pretty-much guaranteed the Slimmer of the Month award.

Club 10

Since I started I’ve also managed to lose 10% of my body weight, which qualifies me for something called the ‘Club 10’ award. I started back at the end of June on 337 lbs, and have lost a total of 37 lbs in the last 9 weeks, which is actually a little over the 10%, but who’s counting eh?

If I manage to maintain or keep losing for a further 10 weeks after achieving my Club 10 then I’ll qualify for a free week at my Slimming World group.

Moving Forward

Needless to say, I’m delighted with my progress to date, and am determined to keep going and lose a lot more weight. It’s also nice to know that my wife and family are so proud of the accomplishment.

My main motivation for doing this is for my health. Quite apart from the strain that carrying around a lot of weight puts on my knees and back, being obese also drastically increases my odds of developing some serious life-changing diseases. And having just gone through 8 months of treatment for one of those diseases, I’m very keen to try and avoid it coming back.

Onwards and upwards. Here’s to the next 2½ stones!
