Hi Guys

[misscmhomer]

Hi guys, another newbie to your gang . Strange my story seems a lot like everyone elses here. Mine began by succeeding in giving up smoking and suddenly food became it's replacement. At first I was ok with it, suddenly all my clothes started to feel not so snug but stiffling. Who am I kidding I thought time to do wage war.

So now I have plucked up the courage to join Slimming World, was a bit scared as I am not to look at extremely overweight but hey guys if you jump from 9 stone to 12 there's clearly a problem that needs to be addressed right? Plus I hate any form of shopping I refuse to purchase more new clothes when I have a wardrobe full of things that are in very good condition seems wasteful.

Wishing you all every success in your wars

Hi Misscmhomer! Congratulations on quitting smoking. That's a huge investment in your health and your life. By quitting smoking you have proved you have the willpower to succeed. Use that same resolve now to succeed in losing the weight, and I'm sure you will do just fine!

Good luck and well done for quitting smoking - a bit of weight won't harm you long term but smoking will.

Hi BC201,

As newbies we are restricted on what we can do on this site at the moment. I found it helpful by popping on the FAQ page. The longer we are here the more we will be able to access on the site. So keep posting and most of all good luck on your weightloss journey. I'll keep an eye out for you on Wednesday xx

Yes, couldn't agree more! If you can quit smoking you can certainly use that will power for your weight loss Good luck for your weight loss, it doesn't matter if it's 1st or 10st it's still a diet and still something new to adapt to.

 

[misscmhomer]

Thanks very much for all the encouragement. Best thing I ever did was to quit smoking, finally free of it. Now I have my new challenge ahead xx

 

[misscmhomer]

Well 3 weeks in the reality of the said diet has hit me. This is a life life style change NOT a diet, so now obv the excitement has wore off and now I need to start working hard. Trying to discover new food favourites, thank god for the recipe books. I have become a little more bold and have begun cooking things I would never have dreamt of contemplating in eating . Big Go Me whoop X

Best of luck xxxx
