Newbie here - looking for inspiration

[Anushka6]

Hello all,

I joined Slimming World at the end of October 2019 - and I am doing really well, 1stone and half a pound down so far. I have joined this forum so I can get even more advise and inspiration from all you lovely people on here too

I got to the point where I was unable to buy clothes in mainstream stores and when I did manage to find things online they were too long in the arms or leg and I had to get them taken up, which was just even more embarrassment!

Starting Weight: 16st 7

Current Weight: 15st 6.5

Hi, Anushka6 , welcome.

If you "slim smart" weight loss is not so hard! It is not all about motivation and masochism.

Some of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:

Well done! You're doing really well.

Well done you, that's amazing progress. Has it been by diet alone or with exercise too?

Hi Whiter, Thank you!

I have started attending Aqua Fit classes at my local gym.. but I don't go every week, just when I can. So I would say it's mainly down to the diet.. Although with that said, even though I am heavy, I have never been lazy, I have always done over 8000 steps a day (as a minimum, just through work and housework etc) x

You sound like a star! I'm trying to walk more but usually end up walking 4-6,000 steps some days.
