Charlie's Slimming world diary

[charlie-lauren]

Hi everyone,

I am off to my first slimming world meeting ever tonight thought I would introduce myself and hoping some of you can give me some pointers over the course of my journey! I am 27 and from London and am currently a size 12 and I am hoping to really tone up and get into a 10 which I have never been before. I still have a good few areas of my body that get me down and I feel really uncomfortable with so hoping I can change this for good.

I have recently lost 2.5 stone on the cambridge diet plan and have managed to maintain over the last 4 months (i have only put 2-3lbs back on which goes up and down depending on my food choices) I didnt really enjoy the diet and dont think it is a way of life more of an initial boost. I would ideally like to lose around another stone and my cousin recomended slimming world as he has recently lost 2 stone and finds the diet really enjoyable. I am off on holiday at the beginning of september so my target is for then. I am very active and do lots of exercise so I am hoping this will work for me on the eating side of things as a way of life from now on.

Can anyone shed some light on how they are getting on with the extra easy and whether I should mix my days up with maybe a couple of green or a couple of red days? Does anyone have any good tips to help me on my way?

Everyone is different, initially go with what the consultant tells you to do, usually EE. But if you find after a week or two that you are struggling, mix it up. I do a mix of all 3 cos I find I don't lose on EE, same if i do all red or green too. You haven to find what is right for you, some people lose find on just EE
