Ok in the spirit of this website I am going to be totally honest, mainly with myself but think it will help to share !!
I've now been doing slimming world about 7 weeks.
Not with a great amount of success, first week stayed the same then week 2 had 2lb loss, then was away, then put on then couple of 1/2 pound losses...
Basically, I have been sticking to plan with food, although I di figure out after about three weeks or so that I just wasn't getting the super free amount right (too little):sigh:
So started trying harder with that, but as I travel around a lot with work, I started completely skipping meals so that I didn't get it wrong... If you see what I mean.
I gave up red wine, but have still drank vodka and diet coke maybe 2 or 3 a night, I don't have a drink problem, I enjoy a drink to relax, I do skip nights sometimes but on the whole will have at least one drink.
However....
We have had several social events, my birthday , belated honeymoon to Westport in Ireland, daughters birthday, bank Hol weekend away, it's been a blast, but I just couldn't control myself that well, again I made mostly good food choices, but drink was yet again the downfall.
We now have nothing on the calendar (apart from fathers day)
Until or big family holiday in august for which I would like to have lost at least 10 lbs
We have also been pretty much guessing things over the weekend, which is so stupid. I must stress though that everything we re cooking at home is sw friendly.
I've not been too bad with syns, some days having none (because I know I'm having syns with the drink) so avoided any other treats most of the time.
I have also wondered wether extra easy is right for me? But everyone raves so much about it I'm determined to get it to work for me too.
