Warning - Not for the feint hearted or those who favour slimming clubs
Day 3: Well the day has arrived... the day I had been looking forward to in some ways - and very apprehensive in others - the day I joined slimming world.
The day has been good up to 5.30pm - and I feel really good with the support I am getting from all of you who are reading this... and who may have sponsored me (and its not too late.... please go there and do it if you haven't already)
I turned up at 5.30pm - looking a bit lost and then was directed to the Noob's area!

Now don't get me wrong - the slimming world system works and from what I can see it is very successful and easy to follow and from what I can see it is very good for men... eat as much of the free foods as you like and don't syn too much (for my Christian friends... don't worry I try not to syn at all, but I'm human :-) )
The 'consultant' is a nice lady called Janet and everybody there seems nice. However there is a distinct lack of men there. It was all women tonight apart from one person who as I spoke with him told me he was..... the consultants husband. If anyone is male, single and looking for love then the odd's are definitely in your favour here. If Jo, my girlfriend does happen to read this... don't worry - nothing to worry about.
Anyway, it all seemed to be going well until we got to the main 'image therapy' section of the meeting. Now I know I'm quite self-motivated but I thought I had entered the seal enclosure at the circus. I was expecting Janet to grab a bucket of sardines from under the table and start to chuck them out to the expectant crowd.
Clap after clap after clap..... I have sore hands tonight. Perhaps its a form of exercise. Gain weight, lose weight - you get clapped.
An hour later I was finally registered and weighed.... and that is what you are hear for, right - not hear my moans about Slimming world
Well I weighed in at a surprising 21 stone 3lbs. I felt a bit surprised as the last 2 readings I have had are 21 stone 8 llbs and 21 6llbs. So either the weight is falling off after 3 days - or someones scales are not right! I've been asked what my overall target is and I've said 7 stone.
So there we go... my evening in a nut shell.
I have all the books, my official membership card for Slimming World.
Will be a tough day tomorrow - off to Shepton Mallet to see the youth group who are camping. Lots of walking to and from events, but food may be a problem - but we shall see how it goes..... think I may take a fruit bowl with me.
No Blog tomorrow as I won't get back until 11pm - back on Friday!
