Hey fatty Jenny.... Oh crap!


As I mentioned in my "New year new me" post a few weeks ago, I joined Slimming world.


Now I have always been overweight...well, just plain old FAT! I have tried all the diets under the sun from Weight Watchers and Rosemary Conelly to Diet Chef. Even the VLCD (Very Low Calorie diet) such as Slimfast, Herbalife and Lighter Life.

I have had some successes, especially on Lighter Life where I lost a whopping 9 stone in just 9 months. The only problem is that I had to quit abruptly due to some not so pleasant side effects... which I am not at all saying were caused by the diet by any means.


Anyways...So I quit and gained all my weight back... BOOO!!!


So fat and fed up I joined Slimming World 6 months ago. It hasn't exactly gone to plan, not through any fault of the diet at all, but just because I don't think I was ready to make "THE CHANGE". But over the last couple weeks its been different. I have been more determined to not only eat better, but to make better choices. Not that I am perfect by any means but I am learning. And 8 lbs off in the last 2 weeks means ITS WORKING!!!! HURRAH *Crowd cheering*


So... some of you may be thinking "What is it". It isn't your normal weight loss diet. Theres no Calorie counting, no cutting out of carbs, or fruit and minimal weighing/measuring (Most of that happen on group day when you get on the scales). Its a normal healthy eating plan.


To explain more easily you can eat all you want when it comes to lean meats, poultry, fresh fruit/veg and fat free yogurt. the rest is counted as SYNS and you are allowed up to 15 of them a day.


So... if loosing weight is something you want to do, in my opinion, I would suggest contacting your local Slimming World rep for more information.
