Hi Welcome to minimins, No probs with your food diary so far, some may ask are you eating enough? What has been your weight record since november?

 

[Hedgie15]

Thank you for replying Ive actually gained 2lb since starting in November :-( I have my weigh in tonight. Im trying to update my staistics but it wont let me

 

[Little Miss Determined]

Alot of people post food diarys on here, it may be worth starting one (Dont give up by any means) so we can have a look and help you out!

 

[Hedgie15]

I would really like to do that and get pointers of where I may be going wrong. It does get you down when you think you are trying so hard and getting nowhere. May I ask how I start a food diary for help??

 

[Little Miss Determined]

Slimming World - Food Diaries - MiniMins.com - Weight Loss Support Forum start a thread here and occasionally ask in the main forum for some one to go and have a look as it may get missed otherwise, but keep going I know you may get disheartened by little to know loss but we will get to the bottom of it for you. I take it your attending meetings and not going it alone?


the food diaries thread is at the top of the main page in the sub forums section

Go to the sub forums at the top of the site and it'll say 'food diaries' pop in there and start a thread! Try not to let it get you down!! People will have a look at your diary and hopefully help steer you in the right direction

Hedgie don't ask in the main forum for people to look at your diary as it'll just get moved, put in the heading of your diary for eg 'here is my diary please have a look' and people will see if there's anything different you could do!

 

[Hedgie15]

Ooops!! Thanks for that Vanilla Cupcake.

Thank you both for helping me... off to weigh in soon. Hoping for at least a small loss. Fibgers crossed

 

[Hedgie15]

Yeah im going to meetings. It does get you down when you are paying all that money and not seeing any benefits

 

[Little Miss Determined]

What does your consultant say about it?

What does your consultant say about it?

As Little Miss says - at my class if anyone like yourself is struggling then the consultant will ask them to bring a copy of their food diary in and she will then hopefully point you in the right direction. A few subtle changes here and there should start you losing . Good luck! x

I love image therapy too, I don't understand people who pay £5 just to get weighed and leave! I'm on the social team aswell and love meeting new people and love the craic we have at I.T

If you have two young screaming kids you wouldn't want me to stay for class

What ages are they? Just take colouring in books and Lego with you, that should keep them quiet most of the class!

I go to a lunchtime class and like vanilla cupcake says, a colouring book etc is what most mums bring. Our consultant says children are more than welcome so long as she can hear herself speak!!! And like vanilla cupcake, I love speaking to people and welcoming them every week, and helping new member settle in. I like being a "people person"

I love meeting new people, I also love seeing the smiles on their faces a few weeks in when they are loosing and are happy with their progress! My group ranges from about 25-60ish the older ladies are my favourite they are hilarious and they love the craic from the younger ones aswell! I love my Tuesday mornings even if the scales haven't been kind to me!!!

and.....as I have said before - those that stay to class have better losses x

I take my little lady to class (16 months old) and there are a couple of other kiddies there too. She can be a little bit rowdy sometimes and I worry that others might find it disruptive but the one week I went on my own everyone asked after her and said that it wasn't the same without her.
