Hello from a newbie

[lilybeach]

Hi people. New to this site as in posting but I've been on it a lot before checking for syn values (yep back on slimming world again). I've lost weight before going to sw (3.5stone) but put it back on and more. Now I have to lose some as I'm waiting for an operation. Don't get to group now as work dodgy hours so cheeky I know but try and check online for syn values etc. I've been back on it for 7 weeks and lost 1 stone 5lb so far. Still a long way to go but NEED this operation so determined. Any help support etc is very welcome and if i can return the favour I will definitely do so

Are you going for a surgical procedure? Or other.

The irregular working hours can wreck havoc on diets.

Can you assign some time to do batch cooking once a week so the rest of the days you are simply re heating or quickly finishing a meal..

Hi. Unfortunately it's surgical ...Not to go into too much info but I've severe reflux and keep losing my voice (i talk for a living so isn't good ). Love my job and love shift work....Yes I'm weird i actually love nights lol. Work 4 on 4 off 12hr shifts so find days off brilliant as cook some weird and wonderful food. Days at work are filled with porridge / pasta salad and lots of fruit. Tried cooking more on days off but end up giving it hubby for his dinner (he's lost 1st 8lb so far...Bloody men ).

Haha yes us guys get it handy.

But it does sound like the diet works for him.

You and your hubby both sound like you are doing well 1st 5 and 1st 8. That's fantastic!
