Hi Folks,
My name is Kevin, I'm 34 with one son aged 4 and I just started Slimming World Online a week ago. I then discovered this forum yesterday and made a couple of posts. Only this morning did I see the proper forum for newbies in this section.
The reason I joined the online SW is because there is no support group where I live. Who knows, if I find this diet to be good and I'm successful on it I could even try to start a group myself! Lol.
I've been following all Extra Easy days since I started the diet and find them incredibly easy to follow. I'm never hungry and have been using some excellent recipes SW very kindly provide on their website. I've also bought a few books already and am looking forward to optimising as much as I can for Christmas dinner!
I lost 3lbs in my first week but I think it would have been more had I not fallen off the plan completely while on my staff night out on Friday!! Mind you, it was a great night and well worth it! You only have one Christmas night out a year after all. Might as well let my hair down a bit. I imagine I'll not be as strict as usual at Christmas itself either and to be honest, I don't want to be. I may have one or two days where I go off plan but I'll get back to it as soon as I can. Better to have one or two days off than stay off plan. If I lose weight at my next weigh in (Tuesday) then it'll be a great bonus but if I maintain or gain I won't lose any sleep over it. I'll know that I've had a good Christmas with my nearest and dearest and look forward to a new me in the New Year.
2012 will be the year of no more excuses!!
