22 and this is my year to fit into that LBD

Hi Everyone,

I'm Jade! Been reading through these forums for a long time now and I thought I would get involved. I've been 'Chubby' since i was about 17. After trying many crash/fad diets i realized its time to be realistic about weight loss. Its not as easy as starving yourself for 7 days loosing 8 pounds and thinking wow I'll buy a takeaway now and it will be fine, and then 3 days later that 8lbs is back on lol. This is what I've been doing for literally the last 4 years.
My mum lost 4 stone last year on slimming world and after waking up on monday morning feeling fat and miserable I thought it was about time I got into this diet too. I went to tescos on monday morning and spent £50 on yummy food
its now wednesday, i feel great! not hungry like most of my other diets. my mum has given me all her old books so for now i am doing this from home and not going to any classes. and i also went to the gym yesturday for the first time since we where forced to do P.E. at school haha!
So yes... i would like to loose 3 stone this year and hopefully my first stone by May this year as I am going on holiday.
My starting weight is 12st4lbs and I'm 5foot2! My target for the year is to loose 3 stone and be a lovely 9st4!!!

wish me luck! xxx

I'm on a green day today and stuck for something for tea? Something really feeling so it feels like I've been bad. Any idea's anyone???

Week 1- Day 3. 09/01/2013 ... green day.

I woke up feeling really good today, 3 days in and i'm not ready to give up yet
I have just got back from an hour in the gym and again I haven't had all my syns today so hopefully at the end of the week I see a great weightloss.

Breakfast- 2 weetabix, banana and muller light
Lunch- Jacket potato with pasta n sauce
Tea- Low fat noodles with cheese triangle
Snacks- apple and grapes

I hope everyone else is feeling great and doing well.
How many people are exercising as well? Are they finding it easier to loose weight??

Hey hun,

I just wanted to wish you the best of luck with your SW journey, but I can see your already doing amazing!

I saw your earlier post about meal idea's, there's an amazing thread on the recipes section http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/84682-post-your-food-pics-meal-ideas.html (I must warn you though, I only ever click on for a bit of inspiration, but end up spending hours going through all the photo's!! Lol)

P.S I love your "Think thin girls" xx

I was just reading your earlier post about why you chose to join slimming world, and it's very similar to my own. (I'm 23, I also decided to join after my mum lost 4 stone with SW, were both target members now but we follow from home) Have you joined a group or are you following from home?

Aww i'm sure you'll do fine hun! I have to say, having a food diary definitely keeps you on track, especially when you have to face up to your syns! Haha xx

Yes im just doing it from home, i think this website is good enough support yes i will try and complete my food diary everyday so people can hopefully tell me if im doing anything wrong

That's what I love about Minimins, everyone's very supportive!

1 slice 800g wholemeal loaf would be your HxB. HxB = 60g Wholemeal bread, so 2 slices of 400g wholemeal loaf.
Usually 1 slice of a 800g loaf weighs about 48g, so some people will chop off the crusts/ends of another slice or they will weigh both slices and count the extra weight as syns.

I hope this helps hun! xx

hi winkofpink

yes that helps a lot, so does that mean i can have my chicken in my curry tonight?? ive only had 1 slice of 800g loaf today xx

Hi Jade, I'm very proud of you for doing this. Lets get skinny xxx

Hi everyone, i will be posting my food diary later on tonight but for now... my lunch

You can have unlimited chicken as a free food on an ee or red day. If you are doing green though, you would have to have the chicken as your second hex b. Your book will tell you the amount you're allowed as a hex.

Keep up the great work! I'm going to do a food diary also x

Hey hun,

Yes you can still have chicken if you do a Red or Extra Easy day, but if your doing a green day it's 113g raw weight as a HxB.

Your chicken curry looks lovely hun! xx

Week 1- Day 4. 10/01/2013 ... green day.

Feeling the pain of the gym today, but only 4 days in i feel a lot healthier, less bloated and some what 'thinner'. I have eaten so much today, its been AMAZING haha!

Breakfast- 1 toast, scrambled eggs, beans.
