Slimming World here we come!

I have just heard that you are also joining Slimming World! I am really pleased because I think this might be what we both need. You will be really surprised when you learn how much free food they expect you to eat! You will never go hungry again and you will lose weight. It may be slow but steady.

Yes! I found a place on the high street which means i only have to catch one bus. We really need to push each other and not give up. I have put an extra half a stone on since i broke my shoulder. Looks like a new year a new start. I have an appointment to see the fracture clinic about my ankle, the operation on my shoulder, a mammogram and cervical smear all in January. Lets hope the new year makes a new woman out of me

You probably will scoff at me but I am on a diet too. Since my illness I have secretly been scoffing tonnes of chocolate and turning my potatoes into chips and eating them in butter bread with load of mayonnaise and NOT been going to the gym and as a result I have gone from 10st 5 to 11 stone so although I am not doing slimmers world I am determined to shift 9 pounds in 4 weeks.

Well here we go then. Mum, you will do it this time, so will I, Zarina, you are skinny as it is.......you don't need to lose anything but we will support you in maintaining a good weight!

Well I have put on 9lbs so the least I can do is lose those pounds. I am gonna have a bath now and psyche myself up for tomorrow. I tried on my work trouser and I couldn't even do the button!! Ha ha.

I was so sick of not being able to sit down (kidney infection) I baked 12 fairy cakes on Sunday and ate them all in a bowl of custard. Well I say a bowl, it was a pint of custard. Lol. Yummy.

I think thats called BINGING............NOT GOOD!!!! Even i couldnt eat that in one go
Like salma said we will support you in losing those 9 pounds. Check out some of the recipies, you might find something you like.

I hope you are feeling much better now.

how did it go at slimming world?

I have put on a stone this year! Its a good job i started slimming world when i did. I just hope i can keep it up. My goal is to lose 2 and half stone by Beginning of May, I found the first week very boreing they spent most of the time clapping each individual for half pond or more they had lost that week.
I havent had time to do any food shopping because of commitments to being at home during the day for various reasons. I will try to go first thing in the morning. I think i am going to have to get organised if i want this to work.

I know what you mean about the clapping. I never was into that type of thing but I realise now that those people deserved a clap and it makes you feel good to know everyone is supporting you. It can be boring at times but stick to it. I have learned that the only way that you are going to achieve weight loss with SW is to plan your meals in advance and prepare free snacks. I failed last time because I got bored and was eating the same thing. Now I try to plan at least a day in advance and I always make sure I have free food to snack on between meals. Give yourself a day to read the books on what to eat etc and then plan your shopping list for tommorow. WE WILL DO IT THIS TIME!

Don't be so mean. One day it will be you that people are clapping for and it will really motivate you. At the end of the day you are both attending a support group so I think you should leave your reservations at the door and throw yourself into this insane clapping thing they all do.

well seems you girls are doing ok with slimming world ,thats one i havent tried but a niece of mind did . i cant afford to join any clubs at the present time but will look out for your tips and advice on daily things ,maybe you can post what a typical day is like and i can try to follow it along with you . hope that dont sound cheeky of me . off to browse the boards girls be back soon . be good hugs hettie.x
