Hi all,
I'm new to SW and Minimins. My GP has given me a 12 week SW on referral, and I attend my first group tomorrow night. My consultant was on the phone within moments of me registering with their head office, so I'm really impressed
I have a friend who also does SW who lent me her books a week ago, so I've been following the plan since then. I'm taking quite large doses of steroids at the moment, and its making me want to eat everything in sight. So, although I don't seem to have lost anything since I started, I haven't gained anything either, which is good!
I have 6 stone to lose, but I'm starting with a mini goal of 5% or 10lbs. I have degenerative disc disease and put on masses of weight when I stopped being able to be as active as I had been. My main motivation is my health, which has been frankly cr*p lately. I've been admitted to hospital 4 times this year with my asthma and I'm fed up of feeling like I'm not in control of my life. So I decided the single biggest thing I could do for myself would be to lose weight, which would in turn help my back and my asthma.
OH is going to do the plan with me, but doesn't want to go to group. He works away in London a lot, and its far too easy for him to eat masses of calories in a working lunch and room service, so he's fired up too.
Looking forward to lots of tasty recipes and lovely support
