hi I’m not new but returning after a long time (several years). In the past few years I’ve been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic and I’ve done Slimming World on and off. I live in the UK (East Riding of Yorkshire) and have managed to loose approximately 3 stone between slimming world and on my own over the last 2-3 years.
I’ve been finding slimming world is too restrictive when I’m eating out so end up having a day off plan and going completely off the rails and eating way too much. So hoping I can find CC much easier and be able to eat out and stick to my calorie goal.

    Hello Gothica (love the name). You don't have to follow a specific diet plan. You need to figure out a way that you can eat and maintain it for the rest of your life. As long as you create a calorie deficit you will lose weight. Each of us do it differently from the next person. I tend to be a eat everything on my plate and I also go out to eat with my mother several times a month. So I usually eat below my calorie goal for most of the week and then choose something sensible when we go out to eat. I am still losing weight. Give yourself some grace and you'll figure it out.
