I'm so happy to have found this forum. Wish I'd found it sooner, but hey, there is still 5 stone to lose, so better late than never!
A little bit about me. I'm soon to be 48 years old and have always been fat. I remember buying size 24 jeans when I was 24 and after having my twins I gradually put on more weight until I was a size 28 and 20 stone 4.5 lb when I started Slimming World. Joining Slimming World is the absolute best thing I've done for myself ever! I average out at a 2.5lb loss per week and so far have lost 5 stones 4.5lb making me exactly 15 stones now and in size 18 clothes which is a joy and a delight! I'm on the social team, which I love, and I've made some brilliant friends too.
I weigh in on Tuesday evenings and this week was delighted with a 4lb loss. Not weighing in next week as I am jetting off to Italy for a few days! I'm going to do my best to limit the damage while I'm away. Luckily I don't really like pizza and I'd rather eat salad than pasta, but I will try a proper Italian pizza while I'm away and I'm determined to sample the gelato!
So, today's food diary:
Breakfast: baked oats with raspberries, strawberries, a banana and a morello cherry muller light. (1.5 Syns)
Snack: apple, clementine, a slice of carrot cake (bosses birthday at work!)
Lunch: Chinese chicken and mushroom soup and a nectarine.
Dinner: chicken risotto, grilled tomatoes and courgettes.
Husband is out tonight so I've got a punnet of raspberries to graze on later. May also have a rocky road hi fi light bar if I fancy it.
