A little bit disappointed but I know there are good reasons why I didn't loose, mainly TOM (learned last night they call it a *star* week in SW, in case any blokes get offended!). Looking back at my week I think I may have been a bit complacent and let a few things over the weekend slide (like not Syning Nando's Mash, Letting the odd "dash" (aka 100mls) of milk in coffee slide etc.). So to doubly make sure I stay on track this week I'm defo going to make sure I put everything into my online food diary! Interestingly I also learned from other members last night that increasing your exercise can sometimes bring on a slight weight gain. I started back jogging last week and did 2 x 20mins runs for the first time in about 2 months, on top of 1 x swimming and 1 x pilates class so that may be playing a part too...? All in all I'm determined to have a great week and hopefully get my first hald stone next week! I was wondering.... our class seems to go on for an AGE... like nearly an hour as the leader goes through a roll call of everyone and speaks to everyone in the class. It usually means between paying/weighing/ waiting around and then the talk I am there for nearly 1.5 hours. Is this normal? I do believe in staying but really a whole hour?

I joined on January 4th (2 and a half weeks ago) and I've only lost 3.5 pounds. I really want that big huge loss that everyone seems to get in their first week or two! I want that big boost! I would love 3.5 off next week, as I'd set 4 weeks as my goal to lose the first half stone. Going to stick to plan 100%. And no alcohol!!

Have been doing some light jogging and have started trying to do some squats to to get some extra body magic in. Have also invested in some proper slimming world bread ie. a 400g slice pan and some BFree gluten free wraps. The plan just seems so much easier when you have the correct things for your healthy extra for the fibre. Have been having stuff like smoked salmon and melba toast or omlettes for breakfast to compensate for not having cereal so I can have the bread or wrap for lunch.

I joined SW a week and a half ago and I have been following plans and synning diligently since I began. Despite going out for a burger last weekend, I managed to lose 5.5 pounds in my first week, and this has really motivated me to continue. Would love to exchange SW news, recipe ideas and anything else. So far I am taking to SW like a duck to water. I suffered terribly from headaches for first few days bit feeling alot better now. Also joined a gym last week but really taking it easy in the gym at the mo until I lose some more pounds and get a bit fitter. Hoping that with continued effort planning meals and incorporating exercise will make lbs drop off asap!
