Thread: A welcome to all our new members in 2012!

Hi,

I'm Pigler, doing Slimming World by myself at home. Every time I've searched for up to date info it has taken me to MiniMins so I thought I'd better join up! I can't afford to join SW as a member but have my old books, the only thing missing is the support and this seems like a great place to get it. Hopefully I can be of help to others too.

Hi GoBanana,

I'm new here too but did Slimming world a few years ago and lost 4.5 stone. Getting back into it now and sticking to it but TOTM is still the hardest, specially when you are used to self medicating with chocolate! Only advise I can give right now is don't beat yourself up too much as that can lead to chucking the whole thing in. Do your best and be happy if you can just stay the same weight for this one week of the month. Good luck.

i have a lot of questions to ask...what is the best way to do this? I just started the attack phase. Can I sub Oat bran for ground flax seed? Is hot sauces allowed?

Hi, I joined the site this week but have been doing slimming world since Dec. Its the first time I've properly dieted but don't feel like I'm denying myself really. Am looking at is as more of a lifestyle change. I've lost over a stone so far and am planning on losing at least another 7 by my wedding July next year (also my 30th Birthday).

Hi! Lost 3 stone with WW a yr and a half ago but 1 stone has slowly crept back on so I'm trying SW and can't believe how much you can eat!! First weigh in is tomorrow and feeling a bit apprehensive as the scales aren't showing a great loss. I'm finding this site a great help for motivation and in answering questions etc.

Hi to all existing and newbie members, just joined this site today and am a little freaked because I left it till the end of my working day and figure I'll rush it and forget to do something! Started WW last March and lost 1st 7lbs, and have been struggling since Sept last year to keep losing, been going up and down a lot. Can't afford to go to the meetings anymore, so working at it at home along with my sister, and we weigh each other in every week, go for walks etc, but i've been reading bits and pieces on here for the last few months and finally decided to sign up, just love the amount of positivity and encouragement that's in everyone! So please bear with me while I get used to the site, thanks...

Wow thats fantastic hun well done ♥

Joined this site today, joined Slimming World last July after many previous attempts. This time I'm finding being on EE is just like it says Extra Easy. I have lost 3 stone 11 and a half pounds in 31 weeks, still got a long way to go and hopefully will get there with the fantastic help from my Consultant Arlene.

Hi welshy

You've done so well. Fingers crossed I'll do as well in such a short time .

Ive found some fantastic tips and recipes on here, it's a great site.

Hi everyone. I am new here too! Just started day 1 of Lipotrim - current weight 16stone 4 lbs. Target weight 10 stone 4lbs. I previously lost 6 stone on lighter life in 2009 so I know what I am going to face whilst doing TFR! Sadly after reaching my goal and maintaining for about 1 week (!) I reverted back to my old ways of eating and slowly it has all crept back on (and an extra half stone more for good measure!). Hope to be motivated by all of your inspiring stories! And I hope I can work out how to navigate around here and not make any mistakes!....

Sorry for the long post and all of the questions lol

Thank you

Hey GoBanana,
It was my first week this week and the dreaded TOTM arrived the day after I signed up! I don't think I lost any weight until the very end of the week because of bloating! Just remember that it's only one week and next week will be better!!

Thanks freckles.. I had my weigh in yesterday and I was good for the rest of the week and im not sure how I managed it but I lost 3 pounds!!! =D

Hi everyone, I'm KK and I'm 22, I've been reading the threads on here for a while now but have only just got round to joining. I've put on a fair amount of weight recently through binge eating so now I'm trying to sort out my eating habits and make them a lot healthier whilst counting calories and limiting carbs. There are loads of really inspirational people on here - hopefully their influence will rub off on me!

just want to say hi to everyone. i too av been reading threads for the last few days n now decided to join as i found this site so useful. iam currently on SW but going it alone as i dont really fancy the group weigh ins. i av the starter booklets thanks to my sis who joined in november n av not been following recipes but sort of making mi own up using free foods. i have lost 5llb so far and want to loose around two stone.A big thanks n good luck to all who post on ere x
