New to slimming world

[Shauna Newbold]

So I'm new to slimming world, currently weigh 9 stone at a height of 5"2 and hoping to lose around a stone to be comfortable with my weight.

I am just curious as to how important it is that you make sure to have all three meals each day? Is it bad to skip breakfast if you're in a rush in the morning, or if you're busy in the evening to skip dinner?

Welcome in!

From personal experience, skipping meals while doing SW slows your weight loss. I find I lose a lot more when I'm eating regular, good size meals.

Thank you!

Yes I thought that might be the case. Well I missed breakfast this morning but i've had a syn free lunch and maybe if i have some speed foods for snacks throughout the day and a good dinner this evening it won't set me back too much?

Yep, that should be fine!

Hi and welcome!!

I have started new this week too, when is your first weigh in?

I really struggle to eat in the morning too so I have to make an extra effort to ensure I do. I have found egg on toast to be the easiest thing.

But if I really can't face it, I usually wait till about 10.30, and have a hi fi bar (or an equivalent cereal bar for HEXB). I am usually ready to eat by that time and find it helps reduce any potential snacking in the afternoon!

Looking forward to hearing how you are getting on!

Hi!

it is important to maintain a regular eating pattern in terms of main meals

if you dont like eating in the mornings so much, why not try an Alpen cereal bar ? but as for skipping dinner, thats one you shouldnt do!

I have an underactive thyroid so i gotta wait 1 1/2 hours to eat, so by the time i get into work get settled and finished my first task, i have 2 alpens as my hexb breakfast at 10:30! its great because im less likely to look for a snack between then and lunch!

im in the same boat! im 5 ft 2, iv lost 2 stone so far and want to lose just another 1/2 stone as im unsure how thin id look at an extra stone, okay more that my bf is worried id be too frail haha
