Starting tomorrow

[StinginBelle]

Hi there. I tried Slimming World a couple of years ago but only lasted a few months (if that...) because I got bored with the very slow loss and didn't have the willpower to keep going.

Silly, but here I am. Decided to order a bumper pack from Exante which arrived today, so I'm going to start the journey tomorrow. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but hopefully I'll lose weight a bit faster this time and keep the momentum going!

Are there any other new starters around, or anyone who just wants to buddy up?!

Having my first shake and it's pretty nice. Weird texture, though. Now I know I like strawberry

Hi
Im starting tomorrow so a couple of days behind you.
I did lighterlife a few years ago for three months and lost 4 stone but fell pregnant and put it all back on - so I thought i'd give this a go.
Hows it going ?

I started the TS today, I had the toffee and raisin bar for breakky which was nice and tomato and basil soup for lunch which was awful and I could not bare to finish it. I am thinking this is going to be a lot harder than I anticipated I am now not looking forward to my shake for dinner.
I also ordered the bumper pack but for 2 months I am now thinking what was I thinking!

Good luck tomorrow! 4 stone in 3 months is great

Today wasn't too bad, but I hate needing the loo all the time because of all the water you have to drink x

I wasnt keen on the toffee and raisin bar and the tomato soup either, but i threw a few herbs into the soup and it was bearable, I am left with a few bars left over from my months pack though! Have a look in the recipes pages for ideas. Have to say I hated the porridge biscuits!! but maybe I just didnt make them right! I do like the shakes and I am not a shake person!
Try and persevere you will be pleasantly surprised!

Thanks a lot. Today was alright!

Your Exante weight loss looks great - hope I can do that

That's a shame about the soup. Seems much harder if you don't like the stuff

I got the bumper pack with just shakes and bars as I've heard a lot of people say they don't like the soups. So far, so good!

How did you get on with your shake for dinner?

I had the toffee and raisin bar today and loved it, which really pleased me! I went for the bumper pack of shakes and bars - so far I've had a strawberry and a chocolate one and both were fine. I split my bar into a few portions and just nibbled away over the afternoon

I have a tomato and basil soup right now with salt ,pepper , chilli and chopped chives and it is really nice

I had the banana one, it was bearable, the bar is my fave so far. Ive had plenty of water and green tea but no exercise today so it has been a good day despite me wanting to chuck the towel in.
I am hoping the other flavours are going to be better, however i will try and chuck some spices in the tomato one for next time
