I Did It!

[stitch&ariel]

Well I finally worked up the courage to join a Slimming World club near me
It took me ages to work my way up to it. I was afraid of going in by myself and what people would say! But I am soooo glad that I did the people there were so nice and I don't know what I was so worried about!

Well done, and good luck with your weight loss. I joined Slimming World a few years ago and I found the diet easy to follow (maybe I should go back - LOL)

Well done, that's always the biggest hurdle sometimes is joining up. I can whole heartedly recommend Slimming World I have been following the plan for 7 weeks now and lost over a stone and I LOVE my food and find it so easy to follow and I don't feel deprived one bit

Hello, I am doing Slimming World online. Although, I joined 2 weeks ago and have had trouble getting my head round it and still lost 2.5 pounds. Now I know what I'm doing better, I think it will be a really good plan for me to follow

 

[stitch&ariel]

Well so far I am finding it really easy which makes me think maybe I'm doing it wrong I am always eating lol!

 

[Fantasia Sam]

lol my hubby said the same thing to me - he cannot believe how much weight I lost when I've been eating us out of house and home

I just love that on an original day (everyone calls them red days right?) I can eat as much meat as I want and non-starchy veggies.

I'm also coming to terms with what I use my syns for - I know I could have a fun-size bar of something for around 4-5 syns but I usually think to myself it isn't worth it.

I tend to use my syns for ketchup, salad cream, crisps and wine. I know a gin and slimline tonic is less syns than a glass of wine but I found that I actually enjoyed the slimline tonic water without the gin in!! So now I treat myself to wine as my tipple.

What are you guys using your syns for?

Well so far I am finding it really easy which makes me think maybe I'm doing it wrong I am always eating lol!

I felt the same way when I started with WW ~ Two years down the line I'm 3 pounds from losing 10 stone and 7 pounds from goal.

 

[stitch&ariel]

Wow Minniespal that's great!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tend to use my points for salad cream etc so that's what I have done so far but that suits me more I think!

 

[Fantasia Sam]

Wow Florence good for you - that's an incredible weight loss Now those are some before and after pictures I'd be interested to see, Florence have you been nominated yet for Slimmer of the Year with WW, if not you should be?

stitch&ariel - are you using the reduced calorie salad cream as that is even less syns. I also saw that one of my healthy extra's is oil so I've taken to using that mixed with balsamic vinegar for a lot of my salads and that way I'm saving syns but it sort of depends on what I'm eating that day.

I also find that drinking over 2 litres of water a day deffo helps on the weight loss.

Sam ~ Once I get to goal I'm going to post some piccies. Only went to the meetings for the first 10 weeks and after that I have been doing it on my own. So sadly no nomination for Slimmer of the Year. I'm not bothered cause I can get into size 8/10 skinny jeans. That was the real reason I wanted to lose weight.
