Hello! I'm a newbie!

Hi all!

I'm Lauren, and new!

I'm on my second week of Slimming world (and loving it!) I was thinking of joining Slimming World just over 1 month ago due to my weight being at its highest and when I was referred by my Dr 3 weeks ago, I joined (Best to take Dr advice than me sit there continuing to think about it?!) I have very high blood pressure and a family history of Diabetes, being a yoyo dieter I have found it extremely hard to lose the weight I've been carrying and I was just gaining more and more weight. So far I've lost 1lb (Last weekend didn't go so well) but I'm not giving up! Time for a change, happy dieting and health to you all x x x

hey lauren,
im new too i have always used this site to find out syn values of things i have been unsure of but until today i was just a silent watcher haha!! i decided to come sign up because im struggling to stay on track..
do u go to sw meetings? im doing it by myself i also started last year and got to my target weight of 11.11 in 4 months i was 14..02 when i started but hhen at the atart of this year i waa bck up too 13.05 i have managed to get down to 12.08 again so far but i struggle on some days for either recipe ideas or just general positivety.

i would love to hear from anyone who has any good recipes and stuff.

Hi Lauren, Welcome to minimins you will find all the help you need here for your weight loss journey. Good luck x

Hiya ,

I was using it for the same until I signed up yesterday after seeing ti come up on google when I would google food to see how many syns there were Yep I go to sw meetings in the evenings wow well done 4 months is amazing! I would love to be able to get to my target weight! I have a long way to go though! I find the meetings really motivating as it's a large group, my mum comes with me and does sw too but she is good support also as I might be a bit afraid to go on my own! What I do for recipes is google the food I would like but put slimming world in the search so for example, 'slimming world paella' and I'm always able to find something I can have and 99% of the time it's syn free, otherwise I use the recipes on the slimming world website as there are hundreds! One you could try which I had last night was 'Tex Mex omelette wraps' they were so good!

Thank you! x
