My name is Jodie and I'm 24. I have a little girl and live with her dad. I have had major Issues with my weight and seriously lacked in body confidence since I was 11 and they made us weigh ourselves at school for a science exam. I have done weightwatchers several times, rosemary Conley, slimfast, celeb slim, several diet books, diet tablets galore and most recently I was badly addicted to laxatives for 14 months. Not a good move! I am 5ft3 and my first weigh in at ss was 10.6. This may not seem very big but all my cousins and friends are really slim and as I'm doing away this year with all my cousins, j really don't wnt to look like a beachball next to them. I needed a diet that doesn't feel luke a diet. (ww got far too technical and 15 pp out of 29 for a jacket spud, cmoonnnn!!! So I thought I'd give this a try. Several days into it I just feel like an absolute pig. I have ate loads of pasta and rice. I cannot put sweeteners in my cuppa teas tho, that isn't a way of life haha! First weigh in is on tues At 9.30am. (will change slightly each week due to shift work) tbh I feel like I've put weight on! None of my summer clothes from last year fit and I Wont upgrade my wardrobe to a bigger size, so in living in leggings that deceive me into thinking I haven't put on weight (when in reality they stretch) I just hope I've lost a few pounds on my first one, my leader says usually between 4-8lbs the first week. Well, fingers crossed! Gym tomorrow, first time this week tut tut!! X
2 stone to lose! New to slimming world ee plan.

Welcome! Sw is fantastic and you will do well on it. Not everyone loses 4-8 lbs on the first week especially when you don't have much to lose so don't worry if you lose less!
Best wishes with it

My little girl has me up at 6.30 so I feel like I should wait until about 9.30 for breakfast or I'd end up eating 2 breakfasts! I had a cuppa to keep me going, 1 sug of course. Little girl I'd going to her nans for a few hrs this aft so I am going to make myself go to the gym. Wouldn't believe that this time last yr I ran a half marathon now I struggle to run a flipping mile. I think I just give up to easy and end up telling myself that some exercise is better than none, and this is my excuse for not pushing myself. Breakfast will be weetabix today, unsure about lunch and tea will be garlicy chicken with home made chips with a dew veggies thrown in. Curly wurly for afters I think. I always end up sharing with my little un so it doesn't seem so bad. First weigh in is 2 days away. I have an awful habit of weighing myself every morn so got o/h to hide the scales in the garage haha. On weds I also have a doc appointment, I am going to request a blood test as I think I may have an underactive thyroid. 8 months ago I started piling on the weight, hair started snapping, struggling to sleep, face drying out. I am aware that this could just be hormones but best to just rule it out.

Hi Jodie
It is true that some people report better losses with red and green/ but not all!
The most important thing IMHO is that we change our eating in a way that will last. No point doing a red week, losing 5 lbs and then giving up! This is for the long haul... So you need one that works for you and don't worry about everyone else x
And sounds like you need to get checked at docs too!

Hi Jodie
Your stats are very similar to mine when I first started, same height and you are a couple of lb lighter than me. I know exactly what you mean about not being massive, but feeling it next to skinny friends.
Unfortunately my losses have been very slow. Started in January and have only lost 11lb so far. However, in amongst that I've had no significant gains and a lot of STS. I do consider SW to be a success, because I have had several weekends away etc and I'm not the type to stick to a diet when I feel like I'm on holidays!!
I mainly do EE because it is so easy, altho I do green sometimes when I'm skint and it fits in! I haven't noticed any difference in my weight loss by doing one or the other so can't really comment on that.
As for the exercise, I have only recently taken up running again and I'm loving it. Nowhere near the half marathon stage, but would love to one day!
Good luck for your WI tomorrow xx

Hi Jodie!
I started SW few days ago but Ive done it before and love it. Dont ever feel like your eating too much, the free foods are there to be eaten! Make sure u have lots of fruit and veg though with your meals.
I thought slimming world wouldnt work for me as i dont have heaps o lose or that i would even gain weight!! But its totally untrue. Of course everyones weight losses are different but if u stick to the plan u can easily lose 1-2lb a week or more!
Good luck xx

Made myself the potato and onion/garlic tortilla today, smelt delish, looked delish, tasted, well....a little bland if I'm honest. I have a team meeting tomorrow and ad I'm not a fan of salads I wanted to make and take that. Anyway, just tasted it cold and it's even worse haha! I'll just force it down my neck. Went to the gym, only stayed half an hr but that included a 1milw run in 7.40 minutes. Stepping machine, and used quite s few of the weights machinery for my arms and legs. So at least I've done something now! Time to make the tea, my only problem is I have to drench chips in s&v tut tut. Had a muiller light fat free yog too. They r syn free aren't they?? X

Oh ps,
A few ladies on here have been disheartened by not losing much in the first week, however I think it totally depends what diet you were on before u started SW. I lost 12lb on atkins and on my first week at sw i gained 8lb!! - was soo upset but kept on it - and following week lost 6lb..sometimes ur body has to get used to extra carbs etc n will take some time to regulate but stick at it and u will do great!

Thanks for your reply. When's your first weigh in? Must be good if your using this plan again. If I lose at least 1-2 every week I'll be happy, tho pref 2 haha ;-) ideally I'd love to lose a bit more tho this first week though to give me a good kick start! X

Wow that's madness, I'm the type of person who would have automatically declared the ss plan a failure and quit Lil. The last diet I've been on was ww but that was a while back and tbh I've pigged since then so I'm hoping I'll see some results this week. I've had no takeaways and only 1 packet of crisps (my vice) I went shopping today and I bought some mini milks, read somewhere on here they are only 1.5 syns, hope that's true haha, wd for sticking to it though!

Good luck with your first weigh in.
For everyone that likes chips/crisps, here is a good way to make home made crisps, use the 3 bladed side of a grater to cut thin slivers of potatoe, spray baking tray with pam, spray potatoes slices with pam and bake in the oven turning half way through cooking for even brownness. They come out quiet good and are free on green days.
