WHAT YOU WILL NEED;

6 Eggs,

6 teaspoons of cadburys drinking chocolate

6 teaspoons of sweetner.

vanilla extract. 

HOW TO;

They come out ever so yorkshire pudding like. You need to remember that these arent going to be like proper brownies, but they certainly trick the brain for a good five mins, 

*quick disclaimer, these are only half a syn if you are not synning the large amounts  of sweetener as per the new rules. if you want to protect your losses you could always syn it.I dont as i dont really ever use it. 

​

firstly if you dont call any sort of weight loss group a fat related name then your not a true chubster. Ive been doing Slimming world for about 16 weeks now and ive lost just over a stone.

Im happy with that, im more confident, i feel fitter and im happier. Granted i wish it was more but, loosing 15lbs is better than still carrying them about on my backside! If you read my first [and only post] about slimming world then you can see that it all started off well. I did say that i would do 2 weekly post, and i didnt, please forgive me. But the whole journey was and still is a massive rolle rcoster.

Over my birthday week i had a massive gain of 3.5lbs, it was horrible i felt like such a fatty and i had to work my butt off for the following 2 weeks to get it off again, and following the plan and being active worked, i got it off and then some! But this saturday at weigh in i was thinking to myself what am i getting out of paying someone £4.95 to stand on some scales. Ive never stayed to group I personally hate the idea of it, so i've decided to go it alone.

I know how the plan works now, i know what i need to do to loose the weight so why am i paying someone else to tell me how much i weigh when i can stand on my scales for free and fill the book in myself, damn ill even make my own certificates. i get that some people need the group to keep them motivated and the thought of someone weighing them makes them keep to plan, but i think i can do it alone. Ill weigh myself weekly, and just keep doing what im doing. I still follow  some amazing people on instagram for inspiration and meal ideas, i still have the book and i know what i like to use my syns on.

This time i think i will be doing updates, just so i know i have a record of whats going on. If i can still loose a pound a week and not have to pay then im all game for that. 

Has anyone else gone it alone after following a diet plan ? how did you find it 

So about a month a go i decided to join slimming world after trying the military chemical diet for 3 days and thinking what the hell am i doing! [seriously, don't put yourself through crazy stuff like that] I was starving and bored of tomatoes and grapefruits. 

After googling ' does slimming world work' for about 6 hours one evening, [time well spent in my eyes] I thought f it! i cant do this. I went online and looked where my local groups were and picked one that suited me. I asked a friend to come and do it with me but she pulled out so i had to be a big girl and go on my own. 

In the last year i've put on about a stone, yep a stone! I'm bigger now than what i was when mason was a year old and my confidence is at an all time low. I live in baggy white tees and leggings, quite frankly its rank! So enough was enough. 

Going to my first group was daunting, I was imagining this group of clicky mums and women who got weighed and they show your weight to everyone and you get it all shouted out and everything so clearly this sent my anxiety into overdrive and i was nearly sick outside before i walked in. After i composed myself I walked in, albeit a little bit sweaty and clammy even the lady at the door said i looked terrified and i was, but i said to her i was looking to join and she sat me at a table to the side and told me to wait for the consultant to come over. 

Im a people watcher so of course i took these 5 minutes to sit and watch, it was really busy and not at all what i thought it would be. But the consultant came over and explained the whole plan to me and then i was off to pay and be weighed. 

Being weighed was the biggest shock to my system i have had in a while. i was a lot heavier than i thought, and yes everyone says its just a number but it was a bloody big number and i was mortified! but i used that as motivation and a good starting point to get this weight off!

 I didn't stay to the group that day and i still haven't as im not quite ready to small talk with strangers and theres not always someone to have mason while i'm there. but i will soon! 

4 weeks in and i've lost 7.5lbs which 'im really happy with. The first week i was expecting a massive loss i mean i hadn't ordered a pizza this week that's good right ? but i only lost 2.5lbs. The second week i lost 4lbs, the 3rd week 1lbs and the 4th week i maintained which bummed me out a bit but im back on it again this week! 

What i've found is that the plan isn't restrictive. not like these #leanin15 or gym goers diets where they say its not restrictive but really you have a choice of broccoli,spinach or broccoli, but with slimming world it really does give you the option to have a twix one day or enjoy that take away by making small changes. Its something that can be applied to the whole family which is great, and it really is simple to follow, and i think the biggest bonus is i'm not bored. I mean my attention span is bad, a 4 year olds is probably better, but there are so many things you can make, so many recipes online you cant really get bored. If your following my Instagram your'll see some of the meals i've been eating, but for those of you who aren't [urmm follow me] ill post some of them below.

I'm thinking of doing a 2 weekly update, maybe a monthly one because we all know how i never stick to anything, to let you guys know how i'm getting on!
