Evening all!
It seems that blogging seems to have taken a bit of a backseat in my life, but I really hope I'll be back to regular posting soon! life seems to get in the way at the moment, but hey, lets see how it goes!
So what's new? Well as I mentioned, I've joined Slimming World and I did my first week on the plan and guess what? I lost 3 and a half pounds! Which I am over the moon with, naturally!
I must admit I was a little bit skeptical about joining at first as I didn't really know if joining it would benefit me, but it had got to the point where my eating wasn't in shape and the exercise just wasn't enough! Then, when I saw a voucher in a magazine to join without a membership fee, I took as a sign that I should just go ahead and do it!
Besides, hitting a brick wall with weightloss pretty much feels like this:
So then, what happened?
I rang up the consultant via the Slimming World website and told her I was coming down, and well when I went, it's just packed full of info and support from not just the consultant, but the other members too:

I did like this board, as it's realistic and friendly, everyone and I mean everyone has off days and bad days food wise whether you're dieting or not, so a little encouragement and friendly words go a long way!
On the other board, a hint for when you're feeling hungry! (Which FYI, I followed this religiously this week!)
On top of the boards, the table was covered in books and packaging from the ready made Iceland range just so you could take a look!
So, how does the night go? Everyone comes in and buys anything they may want to (new cookbook, hifi bars etc...) then lines up to sign in and pay weekly fee (if applicable) and get weighed, any weightloss is written in the book you recieve when you join!
Afterwards, everyone is sat and we share if we've lost or gained and how much or if we've maintained and we set our goals for the week ahead, that is pretty much it!

What's even better is that I lost 3 and a half pounds in my first week! - Hoping for a minimum of a pound weightloss each week!
The best part about Slimming World is that I don't even feel like I'm on a diet! I've probably eaten more this week than I have in a while and still lost some! bonus!
I picked this book up for £5 too, which I've had a quick flick through and some of the dishes look so easy and best of all nice (to say I'm a bit of a fussy eater!).
I'll be posting these on the blog soon!
To finish off tonight's post, I decided to stick a progress photo for you all to see!
The first was taken just over 2 months ago, the other, 2 days ago, not the biggest of differences but just after new year I was concerned that my stomach wasn't toning and getting smaller so it's a great motivating step in the right direction for me!
That's all for tonight, I'll be back soon.
Until then,
