1st week weigh in

[pickle46]

Feeling very chuffed

After lockdown weight gain, finally plucked up the courage to do SlimmingWorld.

Lost 5 and half pounds first week, if anyone can give any tips for second week, I would be grateful

Whoooo well done!

Well done. Just keep going! If you had a bad week, forget it and move on. Almost five stone off now, its hard but so worth it!

Sorry - posted too soon.

Lots of speed food - I eat lots of berries & melon during the day, veg at night.

Get a good cookbook or adapt recipes you already have. Variety makes it a lot easier

Meal plan - simplifies everything.

Drink lots of water / fluids

Write everything down you eat. Everything. It's surprising how often you eat stuff absent mindedly ☺️

Measure / weigh, don't guess.

Make sure you have at least 5 syns a day

Don't get discouraged if the loss is smaller next week, keep at it.

Lots of luck!

Thanks all for the lovely feedback
First week was okay, had an horrible headache the first day but perseverance paid off,

Just want to build on this and keep going but scared will get bored x

Ask your consultant if they can get you the Comfort Foods book. It's really good, especially coming winter.

Thank you Good idea

We've made these two this week. Used light creme fraiche instead of quark in the pork one.

I'm on my first week (back) now. I've had caffeine withdrawal headaches as have cut right back to avoid using all my syns on extra milk!

Bit of an update, 4 weeks in and lost 13.5 lbs. Missing the chocolate but remaining firm

Have a bit of chocolate from your syns if you're missing it.

That’s an incredible loss, well done 👏🏻
