Have been on slimming world for a week and a half with a starting weight of 10st11. I,m doing from home as time commitments tricky to do meetings plus the cost. Followed the plan pretty closely for the first week apart from one meal, which I was too tired to bother with but pretty gutted nothing lost the first week. Perhaps that time of month.
I only weigh on a mon am and would like to get to under 10 St to see the 9's again would be fab.

I have followed it in the past and usually stick to pasta n sauce with salad / jp and virtually fat free cottage cheese, lots of fruit and muller light. This has usually worked in the past but have read more about the super fast and super free not just free as I think diet was too carb heavy.

I love all fruit and veg and am vegetarian so in theory shouldn't be too tricky. Main prob is my work has me out and about a lot , ft work plus pt eve work, so tend to eat nothing and then starving. Second prob is long term renovation of our house. Rubbish kitchen which has no heating, camp stove and is basically a building site, but hey ho this year (after 6 years) my new kitchen will be ready to go.
I,ve been a bit blaze with dieting as whilst I love cooking, the environment is horrible. I wasn't,t going too worry too much about dieting until the new kitchen was all sorted but have now decided I want new slimmer ( and less grumpy) me by the time I start our new kitchen / living dream.
This week I have focused so far on the super speed foods getting ten in is an easy challenge for me and have enjoyed making syn free veg lasagne, syn free curry etc.
pretty much I can live on free foods / super free and not bother too much about the hea heb. Maybe a couple of slices of brown for breakfast with beans at the weekend.
I don,t have a sweet tooth. Give me cheese and biscuits and wine any day. Have traded wine for vodka diet coke (far too much of) but with everything else going on house / work stress and the running around of two little ones and two step children in a building site, one challenge at a time!

I am hoping weigh in number 2 is more successful on mon.

I find the site really handy for tips etc,. I,ve never posted before do here goes. Might keep me motivated and away from the cheese !

Hi Debbie,
Not a thyroid dieter, so I am not sure any advice would be super specific but I am due to start slimming world next week, I am 5ft2 and 13.5st so would have similar advice from sw as to targets etc and am happy to impart any extra info! Build wise I am a big of bust (34gg) but size 14(ish) fairly hourglass of shape, albeit a big hourglass!

Hi I've started slimming world yesterday, I was doing the harcombe diet which is high fat and no carbs sugar etc but felt so poorly and weak.

I don't go to a slimming world group so doig it from memory but can someone tell me how my menu for today has been

Breakfast - sachet of Quaker Oats porridge with skimmed milk and raisins in it

Lunch - homemade leak carrot and butternut squash soup and some leftover cold roast chicken
Also had a banana

Tea - basa fish fillet, homemade chips cooked in oven with fry light, marrowfat peas and carrots and sweet corn.

I've had three pints of water and lemon so far and a couple cups of tea no sugar

Looking for new slimming world buddy's. ..

After much research I'd love to give slimming world a real go! Due to ever changing work shifts I cant' commit to a weekly meeting but would love to really give this slimming world diet a go with a bit of support! I have never tried slimming world before it always seemed a bit too complicated but got fed up with constant counting of points with ww. I'm trying to achieve not just great weight loss but also a healthier attitude to food and drink. I've also set myself up with a 30 day alcohol free challenge! Too much white wine had git me here in the first place! Anyone interested in joining me?? Grin
