New to slimming world
- Thread starter KylaM88
- Start date
Hi, I'm new to this too. I have my first weigh in on Monday evening.
From the advice I've been reading on this forum the last thing you should do is beat yourself up about it.
Just get back to what you did on the first week. You lost on that week so you can do it again....you know you can. Everyone has 'blips' from time to time. You just had one right at the start. It's no biggie, just put it in the past and carry on the way you intended when you first started.
Sending lots of positive vibes your way x

Thank you. You was right the week after I lost 3lb so I am pleased.
Learning about low syn treats - frozen muller yoghurts, bananas in toffee yoghurt , low fat cheese triangles and pasta , mini milk ice Lollys etc.
Mostly having pasta or rice for lunch and chicken and veg for dinner. Breakfasts mostly porridge and at weekend eggs and healthy fry ups.
How did your first week go? X

I have been doing it a year and an a yoyo loser but it soon adds up...dont stress, draw a line under it and carry on. Sometimes it catches up with you so just stay focused.

Thanks I started my weight at 11 stone 12.6 lbs and have so far lost 3lb so it's the start of what I hope can be a positive change. I'm 5ft 7/8 so ideally id like to reach a goal of 10stone 4 . I know this will take time I just hope I can encourage myself as I have been yoyo dieting for about 4-5 Years. X

Welcome Kyla. Try not to beat yourself up over your second week. Blips will happen. The important thing is not to let a bad day turn into a bad week. One day a time - that's how I have to do it.
Welcome to you too, Gilly! Looking forward to seeing your progress x
