The new me :)

Well....

After months of putting it off I finally decided to join Slimming World on 26th July 2011. I wanted to (and needed to) join a long time ago but was too concerned that as soon as I walked into the class it would be full of skinny minny's who would all stop and stare - silly i know.

A close friend of mine joined in February this year and when I saw her recently she looked fantastic, and was giving me lots of information about it so I decided to bite the bullet and just go for it.

The moment I walked into class i was instantly put at ease, there were half a dozen other new members and the existing members were so friendly and welcoming. As for my consultant, well I cant praise her enough really because she's so lovely and very approachable. When hearing all about the different plans it was hard to believe that a diet could be so easy and you could eat so much, now that ive been doing it for 2+half weeks i can honestly say I'm never hungry.

I definately feel - only after 2 weeks - that i've never been so positive about loosing weight, any diet before has always been seen as a chore, and therefore never lasted.

I'm 100% focused and will stick at this plan, I have a loving husband and a 22 month old little girl so I'm not only doing it for myself but for them as well.

So.... As and from today I thought it would be good to start a food diary :)

Hi Angela, Good to see you have started up your own diary.. well done.. and well done on your loss so far.

Lol, what it was I had my TOTM this week and was convinced I would gain around 5lb when all I needed was half a pound off to get to my first half stone so I tried really hard all week - used very few syns and did lots of walking at the weekend, I walk to and from work during the week also.

I stepped on the scales at class though+couldnt believe how much I had lost, all I wanted was my half lb and I'd have been pleased so naturally I was totally over the moon :) gave me so much motivation which is something Ive never had before i joined sw and when trying to lose weight, with this one I really enjoy it :) xxx
