There are no strangers here, just friends you are yet to meet
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Well, I have been strictly adhering to the slimming world diet for 7 days. Filled in daily intake sheets and everything and guess how much I lost.
No, go on. Guess!
Oh, alright then - 1 lb. Just 1 lb. (Please, no one leave a comment saying that I've actually lost 15 what with the joining fee and the weekly subs - can we consider those as read?)
I can't believe it, I have been so good. But I have to say I am having to doubt the "free food". This is food that you can eat as much as you like of. OK, carrots and celery - that's not going to put a dint in things but Muller light yoghurts are also meant to be free and I have been taking full advantage. I have eaten in excess of 50 of these over the week. I think when the diet says as many as you like, it should actually say, "as many as an ordinary person would like". I'm not ordinary.
Oh well, I have been advised to switch to weight watchers yoghurts but I am going to make a concerted effort not to eat yoghurt this week at all.
I'll keep you posted.

part of tracys job is health promotion, this includes diet. she often says to me dont bother with the low fat yoghurts they often arent any different to the others, and this also goes for other foods, if you look at the fat per 100g. you will see that often there is not much difference, we have even found sometimes the low fat versions of certain things are higher!!!!! as for weight watchers, we are convinced (i will say allegedly here incase anyone from that organisation is reading) that when you get weighed with these people they sometimes tell you that you have gained weight or not lost anything just to keep you going.
tracy joined weight watchers once, she was going a few weeks and each week she lost a little, one week she knew she had lost weight cos she had done really well with her eating, had exercised and felt really good, she went back and was told she had gained 2 pounds.
same happened to claire other week she had 1 pound to lose to make it a stone, we said to her bet you havent lost it, she said i think i have, guess what? yes you guessed, she hadnt. so watch these diet clubs. only way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more. let the out take exceed the intake.
Yes, I think that there may be shananigans with the scales - though I'm not sure they do it to keep you going.
I think it helps to belong to the group though - though I don't know how. I lost about a stone and a half last time I joined.
I will keep an eye on my weight on seperate scales though to keep track of what you warn about.
So as not to be out done by freedom, I went to the gym this afternoon. I am in a mess now though. I shall have to back there later to get my breath back.
But I did jump on the scales whilst I was there just to make sure. There or there abouts it agreed with the slimming world scales.
That reminds me of a mate of mine who thought he had been 20 stone for years until he realised that the scales didnt go up any further than that. That was so funny.

Back in '02 after coming back from Austria after a lads weekend away, I saw some of the photo's and thought, rights thats it, Im too fat. I was musing out loud about the possibility of loosing 20lbs in 6 weeks. Tony reckoned it wasn't possible, so we wagered a curry (on a sliding scale) and I lost 18lbs in the 6 weeks. You just need a goal, and to eat less and exercise more. i also got weighed every morning and the office kept a chart of the progress. Worked wonders...
So three stone in three months should be on then?
i lost 10 stone of unwanted fat once, i got divorced.
aha - the reason I have to use the strict point counting for everything WW diet.......I'd eat mountains of pasta otherwise.....LOL
Stick with it mate.
Just being looked up when I walk into clubs, rather than changing the local centre of gravity, has been worth it!! LOL
