Hi Jen,another Welshy here **waves**

I have recently stopped going to classes but for a different reason and do hope to carry on my success by going it alone. I lost 6 1/2 in 3 weeks and then fell off the wagon in a big way. Weighed this week and I had gained 3lb

Anyway, have decided to sort myself out and get back on it. Maybe I will go back to class once I have redeemed myself but until then I will rely on Minimins for support. To be honest, I don't think I could do this without the lovely ladies here!

You'll get the information and support you need right here. We're all in this together. Good luck.

THere ae some fab tips and encouragement on here. I am another SW home member! LOL

i did it 2 years ago and lost 1 stone (at the time that wa ll i needed to lose - if only now!) I'll see how I get on so far. I've been pretty slack recently but am aiming to get back on track.

Hi Hun, I also do SW at home, So far I have lost 23lb (it was 25 until last week major blip lol!). I have found it easy enough however I am taking the scenic route and find that when I fall off the wagon its usually hard to get back on whereas I would imagine being at group would be an encouragement to get back in the driving seat easier. Anyway hun I wish you the very best of luck and I know that you will get lots of support and encouragement from the great bunch of guys on here! x

Im doing it from home, its the first time ive really done SW, always been a weight watchers girl but i was really struggleing with feeling hungry all the time and then binging on a weekend because of it. so far so good but im still a little pessimistic about how you can eat so much and lose weight but hey im willing to give it a shot! Weigh in on wednesday so we shall see then!
I too arnt keen on the group thing though or the price, and the fac ti never really found any WW group talks of any use, the only motivation was the scales!

Hi mate

I just wanted to add some context to the replies you have received.

When you ask about ANY success on here you will get tons of positive replies because we are the ones still going for it- just please be aware that there are lots of people who tried going it alone and failed (and don't come on minimins anymore- so you won't get their version)

I see lots of people come and go on here- occasionally it is someone who makes a decision to do it alone, and sometimes, sadly, we never hear from them again. But, as you have heard, many make a real success of it.

I strongly agree with what many have already been said- if you are absolutely determined enough, it doesn't really matter what means you have of getting there- you will do it.

(Yey to all of us who are still here and doing it our way- whichever way that may be)

Thank you CP.
I appreciate this honesty and understand what you mean.
I suppose at the begining of a diet/ lifestyle change its easy to be positive and motivated about success, but as I am restarting the SW plan that is exactly what I wanted and needed to hear.

I have been to classes in the past and often seen people coming and going from there too. I just wanted to hear some of these fantastic sucesses from people doing it alone and its been a real boost for me.

I am very determined to do this and feel I am currently in a good place (head wise) to suceed.

Day Two has been great and I am looking forward to spag bol for tea (EE style! Yum). I am even filling in a food diary (an old one I found in my book from last time)!

Thank you to everyone who replied and lets keep going together with the help of this amazing forum.

I don't go to class either - I guess my closest one would be in Portsmouth but I live across the channel in France!

I noticed yesterday that a Curves gym has just opened in my little town, so will have to take a look. I currently exercise at home using videos which are showing their age - from the 80's, all leotards and legwarmers- and note I said videos, not DVDs .
