Extra Easy Newbie to Slimming World

[jc1976]

Hi, started Slimming world last week for the first time and pleased to have lost 4.5lbs on my first week. Ive not felt like I've been on a diet as I've eaten foods that I would normally eat, the only difference being adding lots more fruit and veg to my diet.

Been on minimins for many years and tried most diets. Lost weight and put some if not all of it back on lol.

Ive been reading through all your posts for some inspiration and recipes and they've been great, so thanks to each and every one of you who have shared them with me. Hope to get to know you all a lot better and share many more recipes, good luck everybody, we can do this.

That's a great start. I've tried SW before but just getting back on track this week after a big break from it all.
Tried a new recipe last night for new York chicken ( pinched the recipe from diet momma group on facebook) served up with sw chips ans carrots. It was delicious.

I think it really does help getting a bit of variety and trying new things to keep it all interesting.

Sounds delicious please share, tonight I'm having the salt & chilli chicken & chips (got the recipe on here) it's amazing and I feel like in have a take away and I'll also add extra veg x

Here's the recipe for NY chicken.

Rashers of bacon

Hi everyone. Starting SW again after giving birth 11 weeks ago! Technically a newbie cos it's changed a lot since last time! Doing EE x

 

[jc1976]

Welcome, im sure you'll love the ee plan. I still don't feel like I'm on a diet, it's great x

Hi and welcome..

 

[Amzeeny]

Thanks guys- been doing EE since tues and don't feel like I'm on a diet- just trying to get head around it all. I did Red green a few years ago and it worked great so if EE doesn't work after a few weeks I'll go back to that. Do you find EE works well? I don't mind a slow loss as long as I get there eventually!

Congratulations, I had my baby 9 weeks ago. I mix it up, I'm doing EE today x

 

[Amzeeny]

Hi oasis congratulations to you too! I thought the weight might fall off me and go back to pre-preg weight..... Unfortunately not! So after 11 weeks of waiting... Back on SW! x

 

[oasis6918]

I was hoping it'd be that simple too, but I guess not. Good luck x

It's taken me 2 yrs to lose my baby weight or rather to do something about it but I'm now thinner than I was before I had my son although having him has entirely changed my body shape and my tummy just won't go back

I had a section with my first and have been told no matter how much weight I lose I'll always have an overhang hopefully I can get it lookin better than it does though x
