Slimming World Newbie

[minximoo76]

Hi all

I joined slimming world yesterday and I have to say I'm baffled by the diet and also in disbelief that I can eat so much and lose weight!!! I'm going to give it my best shot though and I go the gym 5 days a week x

 

[xsugarfairyx]

Im also new to sw seems like your feeling positive which is great

 

[minximoo76]

I am trying lol I am only on day 1 though ) a girl I see at the gym everyday has lost 2 stone and she looks fantastic, so I asked her what her secret is and she said 'slimming world, it's great'!! So I thought I would see for myself ) I can't believe all the food you can eat but I am also a bit freaked incase I mess it up. What do you think of the diet and how have you been doing? X

I only started on Monday and finding it good so far, I was on ww and found coz crisps were low on points I ate them which is nit good so thought id try sw, are you doing the extra easy? x

 

[minximoo76]

Yes I'm doing the extra easy as I love pasta and rice and potatoes aswell as being able to have meat. Is that the option you have chosen? I don't really fancy the red or green days as they seem to much like hard work haha I got to my goal weight with WW 8 years ago but I found it really difficult, the weighing and measuring didn't gel well with having 2 young children. It was hard getting to goal and even harder with the maintenance plan I am sooo hoping SW works as I go away in August and my husband is pretty fit and I just don't want to look like a beached whale next to him. Oh an thanks Irene x

 

[xsugarfairyx]

Oh im sure you wouldn't look like a whale hun, yeah im doing extra easy as love pasta and rice. Im doing slimming world from home as suffer with panic attacks and not got confidence to go to meetings atm. So im hoping to meet friends on here and have their support, I bet dieting with children is hard work x

[minximoo76]

I got the ministry of sound DVD its just dancing right the way through and lots of fun an really works, also the charley brooks before an after workout is quite intense but also lots of fun once you get your rhythm. Hope this helps x

 

[xsugarfairyx]

I need to get more motivation to exercise may have to invest in a dvd or get a wii fit again or even walking more, come on cheryl I can do it lol x

I am starting SW on Monday from home. The plan can be very confusing after doing WW but trust me it does get easier. I did it last year for 4 months and lost almost 2 st!

 

[xsugarfairyx]

I did ww previously nelsonsmum and lost some but put some bk on hoping to get the just of sw, good luck x

 

[minximoo76]

Oh well that gives me some incentive then, I still feel a little unsure with the plan, I understand it a little better than yesterday!!! Well done on losing 2 stone on it though, that's great. If you've done it before you can do it again )) good luck x
