Well I am just about at the end of my first week doing Extra Easy with Slimming World.
My weight has always been a problem and I have tried just about every diet you can imagine. Over the past two years my weight has increased significantly and after seeing some friends be so successful with SW I decided that enough was enough and I too would take up the challenge.
OMG when I stepped on the scales at my first Weigh In, my heart seriously sank, 19 stone and 3lbs - how have I let myself get in this mess. So this week has been the starting of a new me, I've followed the plan and have the support of my partner and 2 teenage girls. We have tried lots of new recipes and we haven't found anything that we don't all like yet. I've tried to do some exercise, only gentle walking but that is more than I have been doing. I intend to start swimming again and really hope that I can be succesful. I feel pretty determined this time and as I am never hungry it all seems too easy and I feel that I am doing it wrong. But I have read my books tirelessly to try and make sure I am doing everything I should be.
Tomorrow is the day it will all be revealed as to whether I'm doing OK or not. I feel great, it's star week for me as well, but I haven't felt unwell with that but have felt bloated but there isn't anything that I can do about it and I WILL keep going ont his.
I am amazed at some of the stories on this Forum and love how supportive you all are - so here's hoping I can get to know some of you and that we can all help each other to stay on track to reach our personal goals
