Finishing what I've started with SW!

[KoKo88]

Hello

I've recently lost just over 4st with the help of Cambridge Weight Plan. For a few reasons I am unable to carry on but I don't want to undo all my hard work!

So tonight I join Slimming World, I've done the plan a while ago and I know it works if I stick with it and exercise. I'm hoping to join a few exercise groups and meet lots of nice people along the way!

I think I'm about 16st5lbs - ish I would like 6lbs off for my next weigh in which will be next Saturday as I'm on holiday next week! Hoping that all the exercise will help me with a good first weigh in!!

This is me now
Hopefully I'll notice a difference in a month from now

 

[KoKo88]

Been to my first group - it was nice and small which I liked! The consultant is lovely too.

Hoping for 7lbs off next Saturday when I get weighed!

Ive just completed my first day having lost lots on a vlcd myself.

I found myself stuffed up but checking what everyone else eats I dont eat as much.

Anyway good luck for day 2

Wow all organised

Im not sure yet what im having really but all are going to be red days.

Ive not weighed myself as the scales get me down. Im around 12 stone size 12. Will go by clothes for now.

Have you any plans for weekend?

 

[KoKo88]

I've got to be organised otherwise I won't eat because I'm not sure what I can have! Once I get the hang of it I can stop being so obsessive lol.

We're on holiday on Monday so no plans apart from packing and dropping the animals off. Holiday is self catering so need to order a SW friendly shop for Monday morning. Have you got any plans?

Teaching tonight so going to look forward to my fruit and yoghurt when I get in, yum yum!

Ohhh a holiday that will be nice and self catering means you can stay on plan and lose weight while on holiday.

After doing a vlcd it feels like so much food and my stomachs shrunk too. Did you have a large weight gain after stopping the vlcd?

I shall be out clubbing in town on saturday just diet coke for me tho.

Im following all red days as they work best for me. Ive got my options hot chocolate made with almond milk trying to use up the massive amount of milk I got to have as a hea for later after karate with an alpine light bar yum

 

[KoKo88]

I'm hoping too! I was going to wait until I got back but I need to do this now and not next week or the week after!

I gained 7lbs in 5 days! 3 of those I was child-free and away so had 3 very heavy nights out which resulted in a few kebabs! I'm not surprised lol! If I can get that off over the next two weeks I'll be quite happy.

I'm going to give a few red days a go once I've had a chance to read the book properly as the consultant only talked about EE. In the meantime I'm going to stick with EE, though I do want to cut down on carbs once I've got my head round it all. I feel like having carbs over 3 meals is a bit too much, but it works for some people!

 

[new me 20009]

Yes it does seem to work for some the ee. Myself I did this plan years ago when there was only red or green. I was successful on both but now I gain weight on the green. So only red days for me thus less carbs.

Whats your plan of food today?

 

[KoKo88]

I was talking to my mum about it last night (went out for a after work diet pepsi!) and I think EE is great if you are strict with portion control and don't snack on free foods too freely. I know somebody who used to make a batch of pasta in the morning and snack on it throughout the day and it did kind of work for her, but to me pasta is a main meal and not a snack? I guess VLCD did teach me something!

[new me 20009]

The only time I did ee I gained weight rapid. But years ago the green days used to work for me I guess our bodies change.

Plus some do go to the extremes vlcd has made me full with less food plus I dont binge now either.

 

[KoKo88]

Day 3 over with!

I'm running out of food despite my shopping arriving Wednesday morning - Think I may need to up my shopping budget a little!

I didn't make smash pizza as I had turkey mince to use so will give the pizza a go tomorrow evening, it's curry on Sunday. I was told a few iceland bits were low syn/free so I popped and got some burgers from there today to have whilst we're away. I don't really want to be cooking constantly so quick meals are a must! Also going to give the Tesco pulled pork a try.

Meatballs were a big hit with the little people as was last nights tea! They seem to be enjoying it as much as me!

Any suggestions welcome!
