Hello - I am a recovering Slimming World member who had lost the plot a bit after reaching target. I have gained 8.5 lb since then and it is creeping on up. I have decided to post in the main section and try to move away from thinking about setting targets and what weight I think I should be and focus instead on healthy eating and exercise.
I do intend to continue to monitor my weight though and I hope it will start going down again.
So the plan for the next 6 weeks is:
Goodness that does sound harsh - on the bright side I will be eating small amounts of full fat meat, fruit, nuts with meals and I am sure I will feel better for it!
I do wonder if this is sustainable even for 6 weeks. I imagine I will not do it perfectly but the thing is to get back onto the wagon and also not to go completely crazy on 6th July when my 6 week push is over.
Starting statistics: weight 9st 13.5lb
waist circumference: 36"
I do intend to continue to monitor my weight though and I hope it will start going down again.
So the plan for the next 6 weeks is:
- 5 x per week 30 day shred
- No refined carbohydrates
- Measured portions of potato, brown rice, brown bread and wholemeal cereal at meal times and one snack (equivalent of 4 hexbs daily)
- Measured portions of cheese (1 hexa) (see the SW in me hasn't left completely!)
- grazing on celery and tomatoes
- Fruit for puddings
- Vegetarian lunches and breakfasts
- No Aspartame
- Alcohol only on evenings out (and not loads even then)
- Keep posting on here with a Saturday morning weigh in
