Diary of a synner ?

[Sophx_2305]

Hey guys, ive been writin a food diary in the food diary section but getting no comments so ive decided to start one in here as it looks like there's more action here!!

I've been doing slimming world for 5 wks and have lost 7 lbs. I'm really pleased with my weight loss but I have another 2 stone 11lbs that I want to loose. This will take me down to 9 stone 13lb which is where I should be at if I want to have a healthy BMi

When I have done sw before I have found it relatively easy until the 11 lb mark, then I find it really difficult to loose anymore. I'm going to really try this time to reach my target as I want to be skinny but most importantly healthy!!

Please feel free to comment or leave feedback, I'll try include pictures where I can as I think it makes it more interesting!! ?

Wasn't even that nice! So my syns are again over today. Was trying to keep them low as well coz I'm
Going out for drinks tomo night never mind!!

Hey, well done on your loss so far... are you doing SW with a group or from home?

Too bad about the McDonald's thing, but it's done now. Tomorrow is a new day!

Hey thanks, I go to group but I'm really bad at staying for the image therapy, I tend to just weigh and go! What about you? X

Hi I'm Sarah,
It's a bummer about the mcdonalds but it's done now, and at least you tried, I would have just gone straight for the big mac ;-) x

I do it from home. Never been to group, don't think it would benefit me really as I think I'd just weigh and run too. I've been doing it at home since November - borrowed books from friends and just found what I could on Minimins - lost 37lbs so far so not doing too badly!

 

[Sophx_2305]

Hmmm sometimes I think I'm
Wasting my money by not staying at group but I still think I would go off track if I went it alone!

Hi Sarah! Thanks, although I kinda wish I did coz at least I would have enjoyed it! Although quarter pounders with cheese the best hmmm

[Sophx_2305]
