Hi everyone,
I have been lurking and reading the posts in this forum for some time now. I am currently doing Cambridge Diet Sole Source but I am switching to Slimming World in February when my packs run out.
I lost 7st on CD before but gained most of it back because I got cocky and started nibbling. I don't want to fall into that trap again. I need to keep in touch with food and I need to feel like I am not missing out.
I have done Slimming World before and my regret is that I didn't stick at it because I really enjoyed doing it. This time, my partner is going to do it with me.
I still have all the books etc from the first time I went (2004 ish) and I just want to know, has it changed much since? We want to follow the red and green days, a combination of both, but if I don't need new books then that will save me a bit of money.
Also, I know it will be different for everyone, but would it be possible to lose 2lbs a week on average?
I am aiming to lose about 2st on CD before moving over and I want to start on red days so that I don't pile on the pounds due to suddenly eating loads of carbs. That would put me at about 18st and I would like to be about 14st by the end of September-4st in 7 months (2lbs a week roughly). Is this possible? To be honest, I'd be pleased to get to 14st 11lbs by then which is where I got to before (about 1.5lbs a week).
Any advice and guidance will be appreciated. We won't be paying for membership just yet as we want to see how we get on at first.
Thanks,
