Introductions
I am Emma, I am 29 and originally from London. I now live out in Essex. I have followed slimming world since Feb 2007.

Anyone still losing while on sw and mfp
Hi there. I am becoming a little upset as I have what I determine as GREAT sw weeks on mfp then go to sw and stay the same or lose half or something like that. Then I punish myself and put on the following week. Last night I looked through some pictures of me when I was almost at target and I looked so skinny. Don't…
Food diaries
I used to get lost in the normal style headings for my food diary on here and used to end up following a calorie controlled diet instead of slimming world. So after my honeymoon I decided to change all my headings to suit slimming world. Has anyone else done the same? Feel free to look at my diary for understanding.
Lost my motivation
Hi folks. So I got married last August and had motivation to lose the weight I had put on since meeting my husband for the wedding.

New Book
I got weighed in this morning. My group (I think as an incentive to weigh in the week between Christmas and new year) was giving us the new book free of charge. (I have been at different groups when new books have come out and we were charged for them £1.50 or something like that) so I am not sure if they will be giving…

Getting back on track after Christmas

Trouble waking up during the week.
Hi there. I don't know whether it is because the winter is setting in and it is always dark, but whenever my alarm goes off during the week I do not want to get up. I feel exhausted! Even after a restful weekend I still struggle to get up. Even if I go to bed super early I still feel like I haven't had enough sleep. I am a…
