New to Slimming World - I joined online :)

[Siobhmrk4]

Welcome Caroline!

I am from Ireland as well. County Louth actually. What county are you in?

I was like you - gyming it and eating healthy enough but I just couldn't shift any weight. Since I joined sw and together with the gym I am losing a steady 2-3lbs a week. I limit my syns to around 8 a day. I have 14lbs left to get to my target. I was almost at target last year and then fell off the sw wagon (kicking myself). Now I know sw is the way forward

For breakfast why not try a cereal like bran flakes or all bran (heb) with one of the fruit mullerlights poured on top instead of milk. I do this when I don't want to use my hea as I drink lots of tea. Or have a bacon or sausage sandwich using your heb. Mallon's lighter moments low fat and gluten free sausages in Dunnes Stores are now free on sw and are tasty. I also buy the Dunnes stores bacon medallions as all the fat is trimmed of them already.

Good luck with it

Hey deadly I have the same to lose. We will do this together. It's all about planning. Get loads fruit and veg in and MullerLight yogurts and u will b flying. I jumped on scales last night it said I lost 4 pound already ?? I only started Monday and this is coming from the girl who couldn't lose a pound in the gym doing 3/4 days a week from jan to April. Do a big shop and u will start off good. My weigh in online is fri morn cause I joined on the fri but I started Monday as I had nothing in until Sunday eve so far so good but I've a long way to go. I will take it day by day best of luck. X x

Hey ladies just to say I have just done my first week although not online.
Weigh in was last night and I lost 3.5lb which totally amazed me as I was eating all the time (carbs too,.... yeeAy) and I was full most of time.

Another lady who joined at the same time as me lost 5 lb last night.

So keep with it, it's amazing.
