Another newbie to the site

Hi

I am living in Dubai and am struggling to lose weight. I started in September at 16st 8lbs and have made slow progress down to my current weight of 14 stone doing the Slimming World diet. I had been stuck for 8 weeks at the same weight but hopefully and on the downward trend again.

I heard about the TLC wellbeing diet recently - has anyone heard of it or tried it? You have to have blood tests done and then they produce a individual diet for you to follow. It's a one off payment of about £600 so it would have to be good for me to shell out that amount in one go.

Hi and welcome. I bet your weather is hotter than ours. Well done with SW and come over to the SW section for encouragement and support

Thanks, Irene.

Yes it's pretty hot over here, currently 43 degrees at 09:35. It makes it tricky to get exercise fitted into the day. I get up at 0530 to walk the dog for an hour and then again after 9pm, otherwise you really need to be indoors.

Getting certain foods can be tricky too - Mullerlite have gelatine in them so are only available in Pork sections in a few shops. They sell out quickly, despite costing approx £1.50 each, and then it can be months before they are stocked again. Looking forward to coming home to the UK for a couple of weeks to get my fix of them though.
