Put the weight back on after target! What I've learnt - Slimming World 

Great to have you back Patrick. So many people in your shoes after lockdown.

So lovely to see you again, you have been missed 🥰

Congratulations on your "Put The Weight Back On After Target! What I've Learnt - Slimming World" inspirational thanks for sharing. ⚖

Well done! This was hard to do.... I know from experience what you are talking about. I lost 6 stones many years ago after being obese all my life previously. After I lost the weight I became a very different person living a different type of life. I wore clothes I would never have dared to before I did things... Activities I d never done previously. I felt people respected me more. I was more confident. It was great... But I anchored after getting even slimmer... I did not succeed. Instead I gave up! Gained all the weight back and more and saw myself as a failure. Full of self LOATHING. etc etc. I am now on my new weight loss journey and this time like you I plan to enjoy the ride and appreciate my wt loss however small some weeks whilst moving towards my goal. I wish you well and thank you for your honesty. X

This is me. I did SW and I’ve put all the weight back on. I’m ready to lose the weight in a healthy and sustainable way.

I relate to this so much. I lost over 10 stone and now I’ve gained more than half back. When I was at my lightest weight I still wanted to lose more, despite being a size 12. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and all I want now is to get back to that size/weight again. Good luck with your journey, we can do this! 💪🏻

Woohoo it's Patrick 👋 x

Wonderful to see you back !! Patrick . You are such a lovely person and so inspiring . Have a lovely week . Xx

It’s lovely to see you back. I’m in a similar situation where I lost over 3 stone back in 2018, illness and a broken ankle stopped me in my tracks and I pretty much put it all back on in the last 15 months. I’ve rejoined SlimmingWorld online and am 2 weeks into my new journey. Looking forward to a more positive second half to 2021 for all of us

I'm exactly the same I was a target then I lost control and have gained 3 stone back over 2 years with these tough times (no excuse really). I tried the calorie counting and I was skipping on meals to eat junk so decided to go back to slimming world last week and lost 7lb my first week. We will get back to our happy place 👊💪 Good luck on your journey and will be watching and great to see you back x

How wonderful to see you again , just turned on my phone and hay presto it’s lovely you , blast from the past , don’t go away again , let’s slim down together 😘 xx

Love this man. Truthteller. Speaks from the heart. I can relate so much to this.

Aww how lovely to see you Patrick. Nice to have you back. Its been a tough couple of years and lockdowns definitely didn't help. I gained a lot back on over the last year or so. I'm happy to report I've lost 2 stone now and I'm appreciating it so much. Still got a bit to go but I'm on my journey.

Over the moon to see you back Patrick! I've watched you from the very beginning and remember very well your "water reminders!". Fantastic you are back. Keep the videos coming and we can all support one another! Loving the positivity. X

This rings so bloody true with me! Where you are, where you’ve been and where you’re now heading, I’m at the same point so here goes…good luck to us x

It is great to see you back, Patrick. I think a lot of people struggled with their weight over lockdown etc, including me. I ended up putting on nearly a stone, which I am struggling to lose. I found it a lot easier to lose weight at the start. Now that I am much closer to target, it is more difficult. Maybe watching your videos will help me get there. I also hope you manage to achieve your weight loss dreams.

So glad to see you back

Oh Patrick I'm so glad to see you back. Its been a tough couple of years for everyone. Life will never be the same for anyone. I've missed your videos soon much. X

Great to see you back

Welcome back Patrick. I’m at the same point as you so let’s do this.

Patrick, it’s so great that you’re back. I can really identify with this. After a 14 kg weight loss with 2.5 kg until target I just got into a really bad headspace and couldn’t find the motivation. It almost feels like I need to sort my head out before I can get properly back on plan. You’re right though, I need to be grateful for the weight I have lost. And, let’s face it, we’ve all been through a hell of a lot in the last year and a half! Let’s be kind to ourselves ❤️ and give ourselves a pat on the back for coming this far. Hope you and your family are well (btw would love to see some healthy vegan recipes from your Dad if possible 😀). Take care and stay safe. Lots of love from Munich ❤️xx

So happ your back I have done the same since lock down, and I need to get back out there, I’m so glad I can do it with you xx

So nice to see you again and I will be joining you on your journey as following lockdown I put on a stone so I am starting again as well x

Nice to see you back x I've just started my journey, looking forward to your videos 👍💜

I've got 4 stone to loose by the end of the year lets do it together!

I'm new to the channel and this is the first video i have seen so far..but as you suggested we comment on our tips and tricks here are mine lol...i lost alot of weight and gained it all back a few times however this time I have lost the most amount of weight than I ever have as I got to my biggest and now I'm 6st11lb down. I did this via a low carb high fat diet.. however I may not be at my slimmest weight ever but iam far happier now in this size body than I ever was...i believe it's all down to the food and how it affects our brain/hormones. it maybe restricve for alot of people but I have found it's given me mental freedom...basically the food makes me feel mentally well and physically well which a standard diet did not. I think we as humans seriously under estimate how the food we eat affects how we think and feel. eating this way makes my body feel like it's gone into HD mode...no more crashes throughout the day no needing coffee as soon as I wake..best sleep iv ever had.. and generally a much happier and brighter person. it all works by lowering insulin..insulin is the fat storage hunger hormone so all the time it's present you are essentially hungry and storing fat. get insulin down and your body will start to loose fat and turn off hunger. everytime you eat your body has to produce insulin..and not surprisingly carbs make the body produce the most amount of insulin and fat the least...that is why low carb high fat diets are so effective in helping people to loose weight and get rid of insatiable hunger...hunger is turned on by sugar(carbs) and turned off by fat. you don't technically have to go low carb to lower insulin to some degree intermittent fasting helps in lowering insulin alone as all the time your not eating insulin will lower itself. so master your insulin and you master your weight/appetite. for those that have ever done keto the very low carb high fat woe will tell you they loose their appetite and naturally fall into intermittent fasting. anyway my main point was that altho I have lost alot of weight im much happier due to what I eat I feel like as before if I just lost weight the traditional way then I wouldn't be so content. sorry for ling post hope that makes sense.

How lovely to see you again, it’s like having an old friend in my living room. Slim con Birmingham is still one of my favourite experiences ever. I too have gained 1 1/2 stone back on and have just recently started my journey again. We can all do this together.

Really good to see you back Patrick. Love the way you talk to us as if we are just chatting, you and I. Not the world! Well, I lost 21kg a few years ago. Then lockdown came...... the weight is mostly back on now. Finding it so difficult. So here you are! Great. Thank you for your update. Hope to see you soon.

Lovely to see you back!

Your back! Yay!

Hi Patrick lovely to see you are back .x

So lovely to see you back Patrick! Our second baby is 1 tomorrow - Our beautiful lockdown baby, can't believe that's 1 whole year passed. & I, like You, am starting my journey up again. I will enjoy watching your videos and hopefully we will all be able to inspire each other 🙋‍♀️ we got this! X

Welcome back, you have been so missed. Now let's do this 💪😀 xxx

So lovely to hear from you again. Think we all have had a couple of years when it hasn't been good, I was saying the same to myself 3 or 4 years ago now Happy with what I achieved, but this time I am like you looking at it differently its not a race its a journey and I am being kinder to myself. Looking forward to your posts ❤️

Hi Patrick, nice to see you again! I hope this is taken in a positive light.. No shade to Slimming World as its worked for me in the past BUT I'm now left with an unhealthy relationship with food. Since simply Calorie Counting I'm happier and don't feel restricted at all. It's all about deficit and eating plate loads of 'free' foods just doesn't make any sence. I joined a group on Facebook called 'UK low calorie advice, meals and snacks' and its the best thing I've done. Xx

Patrick, you have shown courage, wish you all the best. I relate with lots of what you have shared. Multiple big weight loss and gains are common, and this new start will be even more informed, as you are already realising . I have justreached my clicking point, and plan for my new journey to be different this time.

Brilliant to see you back! 😀 x

Lovely to see you back x

It could have been my thoughts word for word, so good luck, I'm back on it too 🤞🇮🇪

Welcome back Patrick. X

So so glad to see you back again Patrick put it all behind you now this is a new day and a new start you can do this and we will all be behind you We have all been there so I will be checking in on your videos and cheering you on as I know you will achieve your goal. Xxx Elaine

Good to see you back, looking forward to following your new journey. 😊

Hi Patrick nice to see you back believe me you are not alone. I’ve put on 2 stone. On my journey I would have been so happy when I reached this weight but after being at target I’m hating it. We can do this !!

yay your back x nice to see you again x

Hi Patrick, really really lovely to see you again! I was following you at the very beginning, and was disappointed how you were treated at the last slimcom event by certain so called fellow ‘friends’ and not surprised you jacked it all in. A lot has happened since then in the world and I’ve never deleted you from my subscribed list because you were and are, a good informative, honest, and sometimes really funny slimming worlder. New start, new beginnings, new you!! I will be watching again 😘👍

What a lovely person you are xx

Welcome back! I too have slipped, but am now back on track doing Slimming World plant-based. I know your Dad is a Vegan. Combining the two really does accelerate my weight loss!

Welcome back Patrick xx

Great to see you back and good luck on your journey. X

Welcome back, Patrick! You've been missed 😄☺ - Khad

Welcome back Patrick! As you said "it's a journey". All Journeys have ups and downs. On Sunday I did exactly what you did and start off again in the right mindset. We are with you all of the way! Let's do this!! 💪❤

Great to have you back. Looking forward to following your journey as I restart mine.

Hey Patrick so lovely to have you back! My mum used to say nothing ever happens before the right time. Now is the right time for you. Looking forward to accompanying you on your journey hun xxx

I'm glad to see you back, I fully understand what you mean I'm back at slimming world after losing 9st in 2018 but over time the weight came back and I noticed that would have to start all over again so in May I rejoined slimming world and up to now I've lost 2.5st. I'm not has fully committed than I was the first time and on the odd days I may have a pizza or fish n chip supper I need to stop this has im only cheating on myself

You're back!!!! SO PLEASED!!! Hurrah!!

Aww what wise words Patrick there are so many people who need to hear that myself for one I’m at my lightest adult weight and still felt unhappy going out for lunch with friends 🙈 we need to put things into prospective and as u said celebrate our achievements so happy to see u return and good luck with ur new journey x

I too am grateful for my journey since 2017 & reaching my inital 5stone target in lockdown May 2020!! I just about have kept off this 5 stone and rejoiced most days for my total loss as im so grateful for my found self. I realised too only recently that the reason i haven’t gone to my desired 6 stone new target is because ive been soo comfortable in size 10/12 clothing. I also came to the insight recently like you dear that i have to be uncomfortable to change ...so after England footy final tonight and Wimbledon’s tennis finals over. I will reach my goal and enjoy seeing more fam and friends after 3 lockdowns 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

Wonderful to see you back Patrick always so inspiring missed seeing you take care will be great to see you every Sunday have a good week

Hello Patrick soooo good to see you back! I have missed you xx🤗🤞💪 see you soon 💃

Wow lovely too see you back Patrick...I too put a lot back on but started again 8 weeks ago and have lost a stone xx

Such an inspirational video! Glad to see you back and hearing your relaxing voice. Will be recommending this channel to my friends xx

Oh Patrick how lovely to see you again! ❤ Miss your smiley face and having you're inspirational support, uplifting food tutorials, your honesty and water reminders. 👍 Throughout my First sw journey you gave me the positivity and motivation to keep going on my good and bad days and here I am 5stone 7lb heavier than I was 3 years later. I am mentally ready to take this step for me, I just feel scared to join a group, so payday I am going to become an online member again, but in the meantime I'll be meal planning and working from the SW books I have. Hoping the plan won't of changed too much 🙏 Good luck for the new start new journey and I cannot wait to see what your weekly weigh in channel has for us all. Take care xx
