Hi all! Gem here!

Well ... Where to start?!

I have done slimming world before and lost a bit of weight but with a boyf who says the 'I love you no matter how you look' saying when I get in a 'weight grump' and a love of all things a bit naughty :tongue: I slowly wandered off track, regained the lost weight ... And then some :eek:

I have now identified my issues with food, my lack of portion control, my idea that if I have a sneaky bite here and a sneaky bite there and no-one knows it won't count, eating too late and snacking the odd chip etc. when dishing up my kids dinner! Reading it all back it's actually terrible!! :ashamed0005:

But, NO MORE! I have made my partner promise to never say the dreaded 'love you however' saying (even though its true!) and a promise of a nice surprise if I reach my goal as a constant incentive I feel very different this time round and I am going to kick some flabby butt! :kissass2:

So here's to all other newbies who are starting out, to everyone who are on track to target, to all the inspirational success stories I have loved reading today, and to all the people who have fallen off the wagon and are clambering back on ... we CAN do it and we WILL do it

Any tips, advice, recipes, words of encouragement, general hello's, and good old kicks up the backside are superbly welcome and :fingerscrossed: I will also be a Slimming World success story

:girlpower: Love and thumbs up to you all! xxx
 
Hey Gem! Good for you! Sounds like you're in a great place to get started and make it all the way. From one newbie to another, good luck and stay positive x
 
Hi Gem, don't worry your not on your own :) we can all relate to your story in one way or another ;) Slimming World has been a life changer for me, I'm doing Extra Easy and I have managed to stay 100% since I started the very best of luck to you and keep us informed ;)

Hi there
I rejoined slimming world last wednesday and tomorrow is the end of my first week. I feel it has gone really well but need buddies to help me keep focused. Caretaker - you have done amazingly well. Good luck to you all and hope to hear from you soon. PS Will post my first weight loss tomorrow.

Wow! 100% all the way through?! Well done you! That's really good :)

I'm on EE too but doing it at home as cant get to the meetings, hoping that its going to be a life changer for me too, confidence boost is needed and a revamp in diet and exercise is what is going to do it for me, have a really positive outlook on things this time round, completely different to last time :)

Well day 1 went really well, and looking forward to lunch and dinner again today so can't be bad eh ;-)

Thank you for the encouragement, its very much welcome!

Will update regularly as feel blogging my weight loss will super help me!

Hi Tally!

I am exactly the same, I have a great feeling about SW this time round but know I need diet buddies for when I have a hiccup day! So count me in as a diet buddie!

Good luck with WI today, let us know how you get on :fingerscrossed:

Hi, I was the same weight as you when I started my journey in February last year, almost exactly a year later I reached my goal and I cant tell you what a heeeuuge difference it has made to my life.
I shall watch your progress with interest. It wont always be straightforward, it wont always be easy, but each 1lb takes you nearer your goal.
Good luck on your journey, I'm sure you can succeed.
 
I too put all and then some on over christmas. Just kinda lost my way. Also not been as focused these last 4 months. I need a HUGE kick up the backside!!! Good luck people!! Xx

Welcome fellow newbie! Are you following SW?? You have permission to kick me up the butt when I'm having a bad day! Hehe! Good luck and positive thoughts sending your way!

Wow! Even reading someone who was once in the same boat as I am now gives me even more of a boost :)

Please feel free to kick me up the bum if you feel I'm lagging, this is why I joined, for the support whether its nice or tough love! Hehe!

Backside kicking I can help with ... as long as the favour is returned! Hehe! We can do it if we support each other :)

Exactly the same as me! Amazing at giving, not so good to listening! But not this time!

I also started a diary this time for my own sanity really, a place I can talk food and ramble rubbish is just what I need to keep myself on track I think! Hehe! xxx

Exactly... even if no one reads it im just going to ramble. I really want to eat a kit kat chunky just for the sake of it. Arrrgghh
 
Choc fix alert! Dunk strawberries in melted choc and refrigerate, nowhere near as much choc or syns, or did you know that 32g of chocolate shreddies are now a hex so munch away on them for choc instead :) or have you tried the SW ferrero rochers? 1 syn each after made :) xxxx
 
And the limited edition choc orange shreddies are pretty much exactly the same nutrional value so don't see why they're not hex too :) just seen it on another thread :) xxz

I don't feel like i need a fix... i just want to eat it for the sake of it!!!! Old habits! I had a bath just to save myself! And now back on here to do my food diary! Im seriously determined to do it this time... I don't want to be fighting f;ab for the rest of my life!!

What day do you weigh in on?
