Hello 
I am Charley aged 35 and I am joining slimming world this Thursday.
I started Monday however by remembering what I could from years ago and also checking out Minimins !
I previously did the Cambridge Diet and lost 4 stone in 12 weeks.....unfortunately I have put almost all of it back on in a year.
I am going to try SW and hopefully learn something from this. I tried SW many many years ago but left after 1 week of ONLY losing 3.5lbs and went back to WW where I had larger loses. Problem is, everytime I do WW I end up binging and I leave after a few months. ** Silly me, 3.5lb is not to be sniffed at !!!!!!!!!!
Anyways I digress. I have spent the last 15 years going up - to 17 stone at largest and down - 11 stone after CD.
And yet, still I find myself unable to strike a balance.
I have a new vigour and I am done with faddy diets......I have 54 weeks until my holiday and I would like to lose 54lbs. (i am guessing my weight Thursday will be around 14 stone 5lbs.
I am going to take it very slowly, a pound is a pound after all, and try to really involve myself with cooking and SW !
Already this week I have made Diet Coke Chicken, SW Quiche and Turkey and Mushroom Stroganoff. I am excited about cooking new and exciting meals and also helping the family be more healthy.
The hubby is also going to slim at home and help me too and I am going to return to swimming which I haven't done since December.
Anyways I wanted to say a big hello, I am getting over my 'I feel like a failure' issues - you know, lost it all, put it back on.....and now want to think about my goals and also take it slowly so it will stay off !
I chose Thursday's meeting because it is just round the corner and it's one of my free nights which means I can stay for the Image Therapy and maybe learn more about myself.
So, that is me in a nutshell
Waving to All !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a quick question also !!!! I am doing Red again tomorrow, but would like 50g of dried weight brown rice with my turkey. I know I can't use it as a HEX as it isn't on list.......anyone know the syn value ?
Thank you
