Hi all,

I'm Steph! I got married two months ago, and still have at least 50 pounds to lose (ugh).

Joined slimming world two weeks ago (second weigh in tomorrow). FIrst week I only lost half a pound, but I was also a bit confused on "Extra Easy".

The past week I've been on Red Days, and I'm feeling much better - so hopefully the scales will agree with me!

Good luck to all and I look forward to chatting you all in the group

hey all!

i'm kayleigh, 24 from catterick. i've done slimming world before but it got too expensive but i'm about to re-start tomorrow using my old books and existing cobwebby knowledge of the plan. i lost 2 stone 4lbs last time i went but have put it all back on simply due to laziness and general life unhappiness, but i'm feeling more motivated and determined now so taking charge!

i have 8.5 stone to lose overall and i know it won't be easy but hopefully i'll keep on track this time and get into shape.
good luck to you all on your individual journies

welcome everyone, feel free to friend me if you like, and I've been on SW plan since jan 2011, so I've got a million and one recipes if you want a SW-friendly version of pretty much anything...

I'll be 30 in September, there are a few of us hitting that milestone this year on here!

Hello!! Just found this group - yay

I am Emma I turned 30 last week. I am a mummy to two girls, Alexandra is 4 but has disabilities and special needs and Bethany is 2.

I started sw to lose weight for my wedding back in 2004, I lost about 3stone and got into my wedding dress, I never got to target though and I stopped, which was my biggest regret!!!

We went on our hooneymoon cruise and the weight crept on and on and on, before I knew it I had put on the 3 stone and an extra stone. In 2007 we decided to move house and wanted to try for children, I was at my heaviest ever of just under 18 stone. I lost a stone by following sw at home, and then fell pregnant.

Some miracle for me happened, during pregnancy I lost 3 stone, so by the time I gave birth I was down to 13st 10lbs, and breastfeeding allowed me to lose more weight . This was in 2008.
10 months later I fell pregnant again, stayed the same weight throughout pregnancy but lost a stone after she was born, I decided it was not going on again, I was 12st 10lbs, the lowest I had been in a while, this was end of 2009.

I put about a stone back on so in 2010 I decided to exercise more and try and follow sw at home again (which never works for me).
I was going to zumba twice a week, netball 2 hours a week and bootcamp 3 mornings a week, I got down to 12st 4lbs, and was in a size 14 dress from monsoon I was so happy. I told myself I wasn't going to put the weight on and I never until Christmas 2010. I put on 10lbs over the Christmas period, which I needed to lose as we had a cruise to go to in April with formal nights, i.e the dress I brought had to fit me!! I got half of it off and still felt fab

April 2011 was our cruise, I ate and drank what I want, but still exercised, but I put a stone on, then 6 weeks later I put on 1/2 stone in Spain!!!!

In November 2011 I decided to join slimming world again weighing in at 14st 10lbs. I have lost 1.5 stone, and still have approx 2 stone to go, haven't set my target yet, I loved being 12st 4lb, but still felt I had a bit to go.

I have used mfp on and off, but have finally got to grips with synchronising sw and mfp together.

Hi, I'm Ellie, I'm 29 and I live in Scotland. I'm not currently following SW but I'm intending to start next week. I've been to a group before, but I didn't get on well with the woman who was running it (she wasn't following the plan herself and was very big so wasn't very motivating, and she kept telling people the wrong syn values for things and arguing with me about what it said quite clearly in the books!); tried another group but people only came for the weigh in, then left, and I want the group session for support; so I've finally found another group and I'm going to join soon! Would be great to have some friends on here who are following the same plan :-)

Group support is so vital, I hope your new group is a success!!

Hi,

I'm Rebecca, I started Slimming world on Thursday 24th May but started dieting a few days before. So far enjoying the diet, will see what I really think after my 1st weigh on Thurs :-D

Hi

I'm Wend, i'm 32 and live in Runcorn. I joined SW in Jan (12).

Although I love the group I attend and I find the concept of the 'diet' easy I have struggled to maintain a continual weight loss. Im hoping using this site as a tool along with SW I can get in the zone!

I have ALOT of weight to lose and i'm quite happy to take my time to lose it safely and even though there are interim goals to aim for I do feel very overwelmed by the amount. Any tips on how to just focus on my 1st interim target rather than my entire weight loss?
