Newbie! Irish girl in Texas...

Hey all,

I'm new and was referred here by a friend I met on a FB group, I'm so thrilled that somewhere like this exists! I

I'm Northern Irish, I've been here in Texas for 3 years now and I discovered Slimming World when we went home a few months ago. I've lost 9.5lbs in 6 or 7 weeks and I'm working on the Extra Easy plan.

I won't lie, it's difficult, we enjoy eating out and with it being so inexpensive here in the states, it's hard. But I'm doing my best!

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi

Hi Icemaiden013.
Welcome to SW & this forum. Good luck on your journey.
If you get stuck or just want to chat feel free as everyone here has the same goal!
You will find hundreds of recipes so no excuse........
Pete

Thanks Pete I've spent the last few hours going back through recipes, it may take days but I've no shortage of inspiration! I'm so excited to have found this forum!

Question, where'd you get the SW award ribbons under your name? I don't have a group locally and I think they'd be great motivation when I get 'down' about my weight loss!

Hiya Icemaiden, in case you haven't figured it out yet - if you joined SW online, each week you're required to enter your current weight on weigh in day.. If you hit an award trigger eg. half a stone you will be congratulated on your success and one of those ribbons will appear in your awards section

I hope that makes sense

Hi icemaiden

I have been away from the forums for ages but am getting back into SW again ...

I.m a Brit living in Katy... been here 3 and half years... maybe we can support each other as we are not to far away from each other.... feel free to message me so we can chat
