SLIMMING WORLD

So, after six weeks trying to lose weight without much success, I’ve decided to join Slimming World. The reason I haven’t lost any weight to date is because of my lifestyle at the weekend. I consume copious amounts of delicious cider and Prosecco, along with mouth-watering curries, pizza, and burgers. This ruins all the dieting and exercise I’ve undertaken during the week. Therefore, I’ve finally realised I need to be held to account if I put on weight and praised and congratulated if I lose weight.

As a result, there I was at 8am last Saturday morning, queuing to be weighed at a church at the bottom of my street. I discovered I need to lose 3 stone to just be in the acceptable weight range for my height. Ideally, I’d like to lose 3 ½ – 4 stone.

I’ve never tried to diet with the Slimming World plan, so I spent the rest of Saturday morning studying the books I was given, and registering for the website and app. Three hours later, I’d worked out what I can and can’t eat (and drink!), and now I’m ready to rock and roll!

Here’s a picture of me this morning taken by the instructor at my Aerotone class.
