Hi everyone.
Finally got the courage to sign up having been lurking here reading for the past couple of weeks
I'm a middle aged female who has slowly but surely been gaining weight over the past five years or so - three stone in fact. So fed up of it, and seem unable to shift it myself despite numerous efforts, so I signed up to Slimming World a fortnight ago - my first time at trying anything like this.
Thrilled to lose 2.5 lbs in the first week, but very disappointed this evening to find I have lost precisely nothing on my second weigh-in. Thinking about it, I did have quite a bit of wine at the weekend, and maybe wasn't quite as accurate as I should have been in totting up my syns, even though on the face of it, I did stick to the plan for most of the week and I do try and get my exercise in every day, so I thought that might get me out of trouble. Alas no.
So despite feeling a bit down about not getting a weight loss on my second week, it's made me even more determined to stick at it, and just be more careful about noting everything down and making sure I'm not deluding myself with what I eat/drink.
I am in this for the long haul. It took five years for this weight to go on - pound by pound, and although I hope it won't take that long to come off
... I know it's going to be a slow process and I'm prepared for that.
Well I'll shut up now. Looking forward to reading and hopefully joining in the discussions here.
