Hi Everyone
I started Slimming World on 18th July, weighing-in on a Monday night.
As a very brief history, I did join Slimming World for 3/4 months back in 2013 and lost over a stone in that time. I ended up changing jobs which meant I had to change groups and in all honesty, I just didn't ever go back.
I did think it was very good, just my circumstances changed and I didn't make the effort to seek a new group, but I do think I picked up some good habits from it e.g. I continued to make all my own sauces instead of buying jars or packets and...well, I think that's it! I did choose to buy Frylight over oil from time to time but not religiously!
My first week went so well - I stuck to plan, I used as few of my syns as possible, and there were two nights when I didn't have an evening meal due to being unwell. I thought I was in for a big loss, but the scales reported back a 0.5lbs loss, which left me pretty disheartened. I picked myself back up, with the help of my group, and started week two determined to follow my group and consultants advice - eat more and try to use my syns up... It felt the opposite of what I should be doing but it worked, and I lost 5.5lbs on my second weigh-in. The third week I introduced the HiFi bars, as I wasn't having enough hexA and started walking a lot more. Convinced I'd hit my half stone award, I was shocked to see I had put on 0.5lbs... And here I am in the middle of week four!
I've had some ramblings, mostly moaning, in here: https://www.minimins.com/threads/trying-to-bounce-back-after-a-disappointing-first-week.355523/
I thought I would create a diary here to see if people can pick up on anything I might be doing wrong or things I shouldn't eat so much of, etc...
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
