Thread: Welcome to Newbies 2012 - Say Hello here!!!

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and joined Slimming World 3 weeks ago. So far I've lost 2.5lbs both weeks, so I'm pretty pleased with that!

Just having a look around particularly at recipes as I'm trying to build up a bank of recipes I like, so I can get in the habit of knowing what to buy when I go the supermarket.

My goal is to lose another 3.5 stone.

Hi all
I joined a SW class last week. I need to lose approx 4 stones. I am a shift worker so may not make class each week so this great site will help. I have done EE for about a week and according to my scales I have lost about 3 pounds. I feel very unsure of the diet as I cant see how it will work. I feel very bloated tonight. I have been trying to get my head around eating unlimited amounts. I need this to work for me as I am actually eating a really good varied diet. Can anyone give me a bit of guidance. Should I still keep the portion sizes down? Also if the superfree foods are to be a third of the plate does this just mean vegetables with the meal or fruit before or after. I tried SW before and have always given up as I havent lost much. Maybe I dont do it correctly. Thanks in advance for any advice. X

Hello - I'm new too. I've been doing SW for a while and am close to target and struggling a bit so have come here for extra inspiration to get me there.

hi all i'm kazz43 and new here! i have put on nearly 2.5 stone in the last year after changing jobs from one that involved a lot of walking and was part time to going to full time desk job, the only thing wrong is i carried on eating but the exercise routine lost its momentum, hence the weight gain...my own fault entirely!
so i'm determined to get back on track
i cant afford to subscribe to slimming world at the moment but i would welcome any tips and how to work out my daily allowance of syns and any handy tips
thanks! nice to be here!

Hi All

I'm new to this forum. I joined SW 10 days ago, I've got a couple of stone to lose but didn't lose anything in my first week . I was really good as well so was a bit disappointed. Hopefully this forum will keep me going between weekly meetings.

Hi,
My name is Susan, I'm a 'young' nana..lol! Am starting slimming world tomorrow 30th April 2012.....I've NEVER done slimming world before, always done ww but sick of counting points to be honest NOW, I'm not going to a meeting because I work from home and if I have clients I can't get to the meetings plus I find the meetings so busy it really is not my thing SO I do have all the books etc, but was wondering if its worth joining SW online (it's about £60 for 3 months), is it worth it to join do you think? would like some input on that!

I want to lose at least 2 1/2 stone, that would do my nicely for my holiday in november!

cheers susan

Very best of luck Susan hope it works better for you from home.
I've never done it online so can't really comment but I figured I could do with saving the money and if I'm doing it at home can still use other websites to track my loss and find recipes etc. that's how I came across this amazing site

Hello. I joined slimming world over a year ago however I only went to two classes as my consultant was awful and not at all motivational or inspirational. I did it from home and lost about a stone. I have since put it all back on and a LOT more. I have dug out my books again and will be starting again tomorrow but doing it from home. My goal is to loose 3 st 11lb. (I'm 23 by the way) :-)

Hi Everyone! Came across this site virtually everytime I googled SW! Joined my local SW group on 8/2/12 and have so far lost 11.5lb. Getting there slowly! Good luck to everyone on their weight loss journeys xx

hello sully and summer im also new started yesterday this site is brilliant and members give out some fab advice xx louise xx

Hi all

Ive been doing slimming world at home the last two weeks (because there is no point in joining a group cause im moving in 3 weeks) and so far so good

Cant believe all the food you can have on EE and still have a weight loss :O

Ive been struggling to shift my weight ever since university started and now to see the scales finally moving (and in the right direction ) is the best feeling ever!

Ive only lost 3lbs but already, just knowing im losing weight, is making a big difference to my attitude

I hope everyone else is finding slimming world amazing aswell!

And dont worry if it feels a bit confusing because of all the syn free food but it does work, i once was a non believer

And now im just glad im actually losing weight

Hello everybody

I only started two weeks ago and i'm due my second WI tonight. Two pounds for first week and i'm excited and nervous about tonight! Still struggling to get my head round the amount of food i'm eating. Sticking to plan and really enjoying it.
