Hey,
Looking for a bit of advice, i am not quitting slimming world but thinking of doing it myself in order to increase exercise i do as i cant afford both at the moment. I have been doing slimming world since September and only managed to lose around a stone i seem to get to a stone and go back a few pounds and struggle to pass the stone mark currently at 12lbs the now. I have never managed to successfully lose weight including attending doctors every month for a few years before they discovered i have polycystic ovarian syndrome and an underactive thyroid *i am on dianette for my pcos apart from this iv not been given anything and im not on thyroxin as my thyroid is changing from under to borderline etc each time i get blood tests*. The only way iv managed to lose weight previously was with reductil and eating 1000 calories a day which i lost 3 and a half stone before gaining two again a few years later.
Anyway, I am determine to shift this last stone by summer but im beginning to get down at weighing myself each week, iv never been good at weekly as it takes me that little bit extra to lose it and doctor suggested I stick with fortnightly or monthly that I was used to before. I am considering completely doing it alone by sticking to slimming world, using this website, the books iv bought from class and magazine and weighing fortnightly on the same scales at the same time of day. I just feel the money im spending on class each week to be told im gaining or maintaining is getting wasted and better spent attending Zumba/spin which I love but can’t afford to do along with sw.
Iv handed in food diarys to my consultant who has been brilliant quite often and there is never anything wrong with them, she has made suggestions which I have tried such as cutting down on bread, bananas, trying to do different days, drinking more water etc but to no avail.
Just looking to see if anyone else does it from home and how you get on especially if you have attended classes before!
As I say im just considering all options before I decide what to do but I am not giving up on my slimming world journey!
Thanks for reading this and thanks for any replys!
