{Starting again}...

Yesterday I did it... I went into my normal group and started again. Sitting down this morning eating my breakfast there's a strange sense of excitement and one of relief that I am staring from fresh. I have the know how to loose weight with Slimming World and I have a fantastic consultant who inspires me so much and the group I attend has become just like a family.

Here are the ways that help me stay on track.

{Firstly}... Really get to know your book understand what the symbols mean. For me the book is essential in the first few weeks and stays in my kitchen so I can look up any foods that I'm using. S and P foods are great to pack into every meal and to snack on too.

 

{secondly}... Planning all my meals and snacks really works for me. It allows me to make sure I have everything in the kitchen for the meals I am cooking. I find that I really struggle if I don't know what I am having to eat and this is often when my choices for meals turn bad. I also like to plan my snacks and healthy extras for each day. I tend to use my syns only for treats and have as many syn free meals as possible. I also countdown my syns from 105 throughout the week. I also write everything down that passes my lips. This not only helps me keep to plan but for those weeks when I haven't quite got the loss I wanted I can look back to a week that was awesome and maybe have the same meals.

 



{Thirdly}... Its always handy to have some stickers around the kitchen to write the syn values on the food in  which you had to work the syns out. This means that if you do need something to grab and go you don't need to waste time searching for the syns. I also place stickers on the food which is in my treat basket so I know the exact value for each treat.

 

{Lastly}... I'm one of those weird people that like to take pictures of there food. I do it everytime I have a meal, I then post the picture of what I'm eating on to my Instagram account. Its a great picture diary but its also nice to share with others what you are eating. I also get inspired by the meals I see others eating and also pick up a few new recipes along the way. Instagram also has a great sense of community within the #slimmingworld. Why not take a look at my account cakemethinsw, my profile is lacking pictures at the moment as I took the decision to start a new account to go with my new journey.

 

What are your tips to having successful weight losses on Slimming World? I would love to know...

 

Have a Great Day
