Joining Slimming World today

[Glitterball86]

Going to get my huge arse along to a group this morning to get started, there aren't any groups in my local area on a Tuesday though so going to a different one to get started :) Any tips as to what I can expect? I am bricking it!! I think I have about 7 stone to lose ??

The consultant will go through the eating plan with you while the existing members weigh in, you'll get to sit through the group and then you'll get weighed and asked what your target is at the end.

That's pretty much it really...it's not scary at all.

Ahhhh ok, can't say I'm excited to see the numbers on the scales but hopefully will be the last time I see those numbers :)

[tabulahrasa]

Well yes, that bit can be a bit scary, lol...but you're there to do something about that.

You get to decide your target so you may want to set an interim one to start with as something not too daunting to aim for. Although saying that I set a target which I thought I would never get to and have just lowered it as I reached it much quicker than I thought.

Wasn't that bad and glad I went as now I can try to get focused :)

Well done for taking the first step in going to a meeting. Like you I have around 7 stone to lose. i started Slimming World 4 weeks ago and have lost almost a stone. This last week I have felt my motivation slipping a bit and sliping back into old ways thining a bit of Pizza won't hurt, and having one uncontrolled binge, so I guess i will see this evening if I get my one stone award or not. I think the key is planning and making sure you eat enough speed foods to keep you full. I have amsl been walking a lot more although that's hard when the weatherhas been so bad. Good luck.
