Hi

Looking for some motivation, I am on Slimming World Original plan. 5 years ago I lost 5st on my own serious exercise and strict diet, and went down to my lowest 9st12 after two kids I am back up to 11st2 and I am desperate to lose but nothing seems to be working I have tried anything, I work full time so can not join a gym as I work odd shifts and now my kids dont nap anymore find it increasingly difficult to excercise at home like I used.

Looking to lose 10% and need some help to get it started, plus I on holidaying V soon and worried I will gain more over the holidays.

Any tips from other working parents greatly appreciated

    Hi,
    I've been on for 1 month, today. I've lost about 4 pounds, so far.
    My tips:
    Planning is everything. Use this program to set up your day BEFOREHAND.
    Have the foods you need ON-HAND.
    NEVER open the refrigerator to look for something to eat. Know what you want, and make sure it's part of your plan for the day.
    I hope these ideas help.
