New me for 2014!

[Smuffin]

Hi all,

I've done a few diets and while I do lose weight with them, I get bored of them and the foods.

I joined Slimming world online last night and today started my diet.

I am going to do Green Day, Red Day, Green Day, Red Day etc etc as per a friends recommendation who has done SW for some time and is still losing. My books won't be here till later in the week so for now I've printed everything out and been reading it religiously!

I will probably post my diary from the start of the day and update it throughout the day as I go. Any tips would be appreciated

How long have you been on SW? I weighed in yest and lost 2lbs, weighed in this morning and gained 1lb back.

Hi Smuffin, just been reading about your food again - I was interested in your thoughts on Zero noodles, I had been wondering about trying them, maybe I won't now! You've probably saved me from a culinary disaster, thank you ! X

 

[Smuffin]

Mine were disgusting hun lol. I got them in Holland and Barrets. Not sure if I did mine wrong but I did them as stated on the packaging. It was kinda like eatting elastic bands.

 

[jules1981]

My days been good thanks on track with food, which is good. I got some of them noodles from Holland and Barret but have yet to try them-they don't sound very nice!

[Smuffin]

I've binned my other half of the packet. Maybe I only did mine wrong or something. Let me know how yours taste please! xx
