Hi all :
My name is Victoria and I am new to this forum.
I live primarily in NY, but due to being in a long distance relationship I do spend a lot of time in Essex, England.
I am a vegetarian and part time vegan and joined Slimming World online from the States as they only have branches in Texas, and that is 2000 miles away from me !
It is very early stages, I only joined last week, but am already encountering a few glitches that I am not too thrilled about and mainly it is the food.
We have tons and tons of things over here that are not on the lists of free foods, A's or B's, so I am being forced to use up all my syns on regular meals rather than special treats. ( eg : seitan, sugar free almond milk, brown rice protein shakes, Indian style tofu......).
I have signed up for 3 months for 60 quid, so I will see how it goes.
It is a very very liberal plan and I love that, but there is only so much plain Quorn ( and we do not have the variety of it here like you have in the UK - we have no bangers or burgers here at all ), so need to figure out if there can be substitutions made so I do not have to use up all my syns on things like almond milk which only has 40 calories.
At any rate I am glad to be here !
