Have you got a food diary on here? If so people on here are very good at offering constructive criticism to help with future weeks.

My first week I lost 1.5lb - not an earth shattering amount - but lots of smaller losses add up and I'm now 2stone down so far. You can do it, just keep going

hiya thankyou for replying thats a really good idea i do find myself questioning what im eating like for instance for my dinner ive just had two jacket potatoes with tuna and salad and i know it says unlimimited but i find myself thinking should i just have had one jacket potatoe??

I eat very big portions myself and it hasn't caused me problems so far - all it'd say about it is eat until you are full - not until you are bursting and make sure you are getting your 1/3 Superfree that has been really really key for me.

thankyou for your advice really appreciate it ill take it on board and stay positive

I remember how hard the first few weeks were, and how many doubts I had. And so many wonderful people on here kept me going. And now I'm so much further into my journey, it's only fair I pay that back...

I've been mucking about a bit since Xmas, and was away last week but I'm back on it with a vengeance now spent the weekend batch cooking, and getting organised.

The key is to try lots of different veg and cooked in lots of different ways. I personally hate plain veg on the side of the plate (apart from the occasional "steam fresh" bag). So instead I do lots of one-pot meals like curries, casseroles, pasta bakes eg and throw the veg into them. Or I make veg soup and eat it before dinner.

Don't be down hearted! There is lots of people on here to help and give advise. I started about 2 weeks and have been quite overcome by the support that it offered by others on the same journey (but at different places).

I started a food diary on here and now chat every day on it as to what I have eaten and been feeling, it really does help.

Stay positive!

I find eating loads of superfree food helps my weight loss. I already feel more energetic that i did before I started on SW again (about the 10th time round!, I got to 1lb of my target about 3 years ago and ended putting all back on by not sticking to it 100% and guessing the syns and weights of HE)

Found a big hug to send you!

hiya thanks for replying having peoples support means alot as ive had bulimia for about ten years and dont feel able to go to groups so this will be a massive help. doing extra easy to try and get control of what im eating. how do i keep a food diary on here please

Hi

Just write on here what you are having every day, or start a new thread under Slimming World - Food Diary or Slimming world weight loss diary.

Mine is on this link:

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-wor...ml#post6060720 (2013 will be my year!)

I just put what i have been eating and how I feel about things that day and chat with people that reply.

Let me know if you start a new thread and I will look for it, so we can stay in touch and support each other!

hey, im on my 3rd week of sw, have done well so far but for the last 3 days have been stuggling to get on plan 100%. i write a food diary and it really does help you to stay focused. funnily enough for the past 3 days i havent done one...maybe thats why im finding it hard??

you need to keep positive and know that you can do it (think i should be listening to my own advice at the moment!!)

coming on her helps loads, i always look at the photos and get recipe ideas that ppl have posted.

dont get down hearted, yr be fine
