Hi all,
I am new to forum. I have decided to come back to Slimming World (I did it years ago when I was young and put on a couple of extra pound - how I wish I was that weight now!!!) For the past two-three years I have been doing Rosemary Conley. Very successful at first, I lost 19 pounds. Beginning of this year no matter how well I did the diet the pounds were not coming off, or it would be one off, one on, one off etc.
I do a lot of exercise and my personal trainer told me I was NOT eating enough on Rosemary Conley diet (I was having 1200-1400 cals a day) for the level of exercise I do. Of course, I was scared to eat anymore because I felt like I would put even more weight on!!
Anyway, having been eventually persuaded that something wasn't right...here I am having decided to do Slimming World. I don't particularly want to go to class as I do not want to be weighed every week. I'm sick of feeling so utterly depressed every time I stand on those scales. Can I just go by weighing myself once a month and my clothes? Has anybody else here done that? Is it advised?
I don't lack motivation I am just finding it extremely hard to lose any weight despite trying so hard. I am second week in and had a bit of an alcohol lapse at the weekend which is a rarity for me. :cry:
That's it moan over and here's to hopefully losing some weight!! The forum has already been so so helpful in getting me back into SW after years of being obsessed with Rosemary Conley's 5% fat rule!!!!!
