Hello Slimming World
Been a bit lax in writing about my experience.
I am now at the end of week 5 of Slimming world (SW), I have lost 7.5 pounds so far.
I have re-set my weight loss figures and will not count the measly 11 pounds I lost last year. I have drawn a line under it and it can stay in 2016.
Attending the group for the first time was really daunting, but my SW Consultant Liz made me feel relaxed and very welcome.
We sat and chatted whilst the regulars were getting weighed, Liz briefed me on how SW had changed since I last joined (thankfully not much!)
I then sat through the group meeting, which is called Image Therapy, and I think I have struck gold, the group are really friendly with lots of SW tips to offer.
I had a little light bulb moment during my first meeting, I have successfully lost weight with SW before but not as much as was required and I think where I faltered was I forgot the importance of filling a third of my plate with the right veg (what they call "Speed" Free Foods).
After the meeting was my time to get weighed, I was very apprehensive as I hadn't gone near the scales since before December and I was worried what they'd say, especially knowing that my clothes were getting a tad snug.
It wasn't as bad as I thought (and no the scales did not shout "one at a time please") and I then set about thinking about what my goal weight would be.
I gave the non-committal response of "I have never been slim so I don't know what to say, I'll think about it later". But Liz asked me if I have ever dreamt of what number I would like to see on those scales, and that members who have a set number to aim for are more successful in reaching their goal weight.
My dream number is 9 stone, proper dreaming time right there, I have never been close in all my adult life I have always been overweight. I have finally decided where I want to be and I actually feel stronger in meeting that target now I have chosen what it will be.
