hello all!

i started on SW last tue and have just had my first week,i lost 6.5 lbs!

i have done quite a few diets,ive done SW about 6 years ago when i was 15,i lost a few stone but i wanted to go out with mates not and do the normal teenager thing so i came off it.i did lipotrim about 8 months ago and lost a 3 stone but i kept getting very ill on it and i felt like i was just going to put all the weight on agian as soon as i started eating....which i did and a bit more!
this time im not doing this as a diet i have got to change the way i eat forever not just for a while then eat tons of crap agian otherwise il end up where i started!

im feeling very posative and im really enjoying slimming world! ive been having red an green days going to be trying a few extra easy days this week too
i have a lot of weight to lose but im determined to do it! i have a holiday to south africa in october and im going to be 5 stone lighter for it! i want to do all the things that i wish i did last year but didnt have the guts because im too fat!
so shark dive is first on the list along with elephant riding safari! i cant wait for it im so excited already!
god ive blabered on for ages!!!

Congratulations, that's a great start. I have done Slimming World before like you and I know it works so I have come back to it again. I weighed in on Tuesday evening so I will be starting tomorrow. I'll probably kick off with a red day and go from there. I hope we both succeed this time!

 

Hi and well done on a great first week weight loss. I'm in North Wales too ... its freezing here this morning

 

Hi and Welcome. I'm another living in North Wales (Deeside)

I've got a lot to lose too but have been doing ok so far.

You seem determined, so good luck. And you're right, it has to be for life.. I've been a yoyo dieter all my life.. no more

 

That's a fantastic start, well done!

 

Hi and welcome, what a great loss for your first week, it just shows that you can eat good hearty meals and still have a fabby weight loss x

 

thanks for the replys everyone!

ooo your in deeside Annie68! im only in pontblyddyn just outside of mold! i use to play ice hocky in deeside! how much do you want to lose?

where abouts in north wales are you DearFatty???

 

hello and welcom and what a fab weight loss well done

 

Welcome, well done, and keep up that positivity!!!

 

Hi folks, I signed up for body optimise as I cannot attend a class and I have paid £59.95 for 3 months subscription. Only problem is, I registered on Monday and this is Wednesday and I haven't started yet as I can't get to grips with it.

The sw website is so vast that it has taken me three days to find out that I have healthy extras as well as green or red days.

By reading this forum I have now learned that virtually fat free yogurts are free. I don't know what the extra easy is. I just find the whole thing a minefield. Would I be better to try and get to a class and ask the consultant to explain things to me and get leaflets or whatever because I don't have anything to read about it, instead I'm spending hours trying to find information on the sw website...........ARGH HELP!!!!

 

That's a fantastic start, well done!

 

Hello and well done, brilliant first week loss! And you have a great attitude, you're absolutely right - it does have to be a permanent change of habits, and I think Food Optimising really helps so much with that aspect. Keep it up, and good luck.

 

Isn't there somewhere on the website you can email for help and support? I've heard that the extra easy plan isn't going on the website until the end of Jan/beginning of Feb. It's basically the same, but you only have one healthy extra A and one B, but you can mix your red and green free food. Any syns, go for the lowest value (i.e. red or green lowest). They recommend you fill a third of your plate with superfree foods (free on both red and green) for a speedier weight loss, but that's optional. Hope that helps. Everyone on here is very helpful so any questions, just ask! Good luck.

 

Thanks Dehli, that's probably why I can't find anything about extra easy!!

I sent an email to them as I was SO confused but i'm now getting my head round it.

This is a fabby site with so many helpful people. I know you guys can keep me right x

 

Welcome to minimins, fab loss this week. Stick with it.

 

thanks everyone!
