Newbie!

Hi, all!

I started Slimming World three weeks ago and thought I'd join this fabulous forum. Because I'm a nurse, I work shifts, and adding that to being the mum of a very active little boy, I have opted to do the programme online. Not going to group is making me feel a bit lost, but I'm down half a stone from my starting point, so yay.

I'm going to have a poke around the forum to see what sticky threads can answer my questions. If anyone has any words of wisdom or advice for a newcomer who can't make it to group, I'd be very grateful!

xx

Welcome to the forum, I'd also suggest subscribing to peoples diaries too, that'll give you ideas on what people eat, how they are feeling etc, you could also start your own diary

Many thanks! I've started my own dairy and am updating it throughout the day.

Good luck! I'm a nurse and mum too and serial joiner must admit it's harder now. Not sure if it's an age thing or a nurse thing but after a 13 hour shift I struggle to motivate myself

Aw, it's rough at times, isn't it? Bringing in home cooked food to work seems to be key.

When you work, I think it is very important to bring your meals and snacks in with you. Helps to avoid temptation. Doesn't eliminate it but does help, I find.

Gosh, definitely! Especially for us nurses. There's always something naughty in the staff room!
