oh help i joined slimming world

[jenk1]

a month ago and lose 4 pounds,i havend been for a week due to ill health and havent been doing the diet at all, am now frightened to go back this weds to see what the scales say, i always do this,do well,lose confidence and end up back at square one, i have about 4 stones to lose i so want to do it but am so scared of failing like in the past that i am all for packing it in, what can i do to not let it happen this time?

Don't quit! I've just lost 2 stone since january and yesterday felt able to go swimming with a group of friends - all v glamourous- I wouldn't have done this before Christmas. I've lost this with SW and plan to keep it up. I've also been p[oorly and eating junk for two weeks and was really relieved this morning I'd only put 1 on , I was convinced It would have been nearer to 5!!! It transforms the way you feel about yourself when you loose the weight I feel so much more confident, fitter and younger. It's really worth it especially when people say "you look good" Only three words but they make me feel about 8ft tall. Stick with it!!!

thanks jenthehen i do really want to do it,and reading that other people have suceeded makes me feel better

jenk1, I have been doing SW for a week or so and to date have lost 1 pound. I am determined to stick at it though, I know how well it has worked for so many people when Weight Watchers, Atkins etc have failed. Do you like a challenge? If so I'll race you to the first half stone loss (I lose very very slowly so probably not much of a challenge!).

It's quite normal to start something enthusiastically, and then lose your confidence (and therefore your enthusiasm). You need to remind yourself that you do want to do it, that you can do it etc. and persevere. You'll work through this dip and regain your motivation and confidence.

bunny2-youre on i go to class on weds and am treating it as a new start

ok jenk, brilliant. I get weighed tomrrow too. I'll also treat as a fresh start in our contest! We must post our losses up each Wedensday (but I aint posting my weight ANYWHERE right now!)

don't quit! and come and join us her on the slimming world thread
and we can all support each other!
