On the 5th January 2015 I took the plunge and joined Slimming world online and started the new food optimising plan which has now become my life.
My husband is slightly over weight too so together we have completely changed our lifestyle, we eat healthy meals cooked from scratch, no takeaways, minimal alcohol and no unhealthy snacks. My diet is now full of fruit and veg and I find I don’t even crave the bad stuff any more. I exercise a little more (not as much as i should still admittedly) but I push myself to do various challenges (i.e 30 day squat challenge) and I am finding its helping.. in fact I even have a bit of muscle in my arm lol! (even though hubby says he cant feel it…!!!)
To anyone who has tried diet after diet and nothing has ever worked… please try Slimming world.. you don’t even have to go to a group if you don’t feel comfortable (i don’t) I just do my own thing and get my motivation and support on instagram and the minimins forum. If you cannot afford to sign up online there are people who sell the plan on ebay quite cheaply here. Slimming world isn’t a diet and you definitely never feel hungry!! You don’t have to do without you just have to change a few things… Nik and I are having steak, chips, onion rings and peppercorn sauce tonight followed by a cheese cake! We just change the way we do things 🙂
Some of the meals we have below:
Anyway here’s to the next few stone… (next goal 4 stone lost by 7th July) Wish me luck!!
Bye bye for now lovelies xxx
