Well a better day today

B - Muller light youghurt and banana
L - Home made stew
T - More stew!

Snacked on another banana and some satsumas and have had 2 mugs of tea.

No gym visit as its closed due to the heavy snow we are getting. However had to walk up the hill home from where I had to leave the car!

Where are you IIB? We're due some more snow tonight but it hasn't happened just yet. Am preparing myself for another day indoors as the drive is like an icerink it's been so compacted. Heard 2 of my neighbours skidding in this evening :rolleyes:

Ah right - yes should be with us shortly then! I've got family in Cardiff and I know they've had lots.

First SW class tonight, went with dad who's done SW before and lost 2 stones in 13 weeks.

So everyone was really nice, Sally went through the plan with all of us and explained it really well, weighed in at more than I expected.

Can Slimming World help me?

I'm attracted to SW as its vegetarian friendly and a friend of mine lost lots and looks great!

However, all the meals seem to be really involved!

I'm a shocker for breakfast as it needs to be super quick, or can eat in the car, or quick at my desk...I know, I know, but I start so early I cant eat until later or I feel sick... Obviously, not going to be having an omlette or cooked brekkers.

Lunch time - if I'm in the office, I have a kettle and microwave. Again, needs to be something I can make and take in with me...sometimes on the road so keeping something cool can be a problem.

Dinner - reckon I'd do alright here. Most of the recipes look quick and easy :-)

It may just be the 'marketing' to make the food options look fantastic and I'd take full advantage on a weekend, but could it work for me in the week?

I'm sure this sounds really defeatist and pathetic to start off, but I do want to loose weight - just not sure I could face a SW meeting and fail...

As of yesterday, I have 11 weeks until a wedding, so 2lbs a week equates to approx 1.5 stone which would be AMAZING if I could do it...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks x

Sorry for the quick reply itchiefeet as I'm just having dinner - but yes it can be done easily & conviniently with a bit of thought, planning & some evening preparation!

I work in cardiff. I live up a mountain north of Newport. Took me 2 and a half hours to do what is normally a 50 minute drive, and I had to walk some of that!

Its def down to being prepared and menu planning. If you look through this thread and the slimming world site you will get loads of ideas which will help.

There is even a try it for 7 days link of the slimming world site

I have a morbid terror of being stuck in traffic during snow from a couple of years back. Took me 4.50 hours to get back from work - normally a 30 min drive - no mobile battery, car running on fumes. Last Tuesday didn't help as it took me & my SWC 2 hours to do a 20 min drive from her class! It scares me more than anything on this planet - not entirely sure why!
