Hi there everyone!

Ive been doing sw a year and found with this forum and my meetings its keeping me on track pretty well

Hello!! I'm new to SW too! I have about 8 stone to lose, but finding sw such a massive change to feeling hungry and spacing my food out during the day so I dont use up all my allowance! Its fab, I can eat when i'm hungry!

Best of luck with your weigh in tomorrow, dont forget to let us know how you did!

Omg! Had my first week weigh in, I lost 7lbs!!!
I am over the moon. I'm so happy and it really has spurred me on when do you have your weigh in? Xx

Hi I just wanted to say good luck with your journey and congratulations on you amazing loss in the first week!

Wow thats an amazing loss well done

Wow! Great loss! I (and most people on this section of the forum) am so passionate about slimming world becaue it really does work!

Huge congrats on your first weigh in, thats absolutely fantastic!!! Hope its given you a good boost to keep going with the plan!

My first weigh in isnt until wednesday. I signed up on a wednesday, but wasnt ready to start until the following monday. So i will have been on plan for a week tomorrow. I do SW online, so it will only allow me wi once a week, on a wednesday! But i had a sneaky look this morning and i am down 2.5lbs. I'm shocked. On my whole weight loss journey I have never lost that much in one week, even on Orlistat (prescription weight loss tabs) I never lost more than a lb in a week! I was expecting maybe 1lb/1.5lbs, cos I feel like i've eaten loads and I thought i was a slow loser! Its given me such a boost of confidence!

How did you get on on Wednesday? All good I hope!

And thank you everybody. Back for weigh in tomorrow, I don't feel as though I will have lost as much as last week, there should be a definite loss tho cos I've been so good x

Official loss was 3lbs for my first week, I am over the moon! So thrilled.

7lbs in one week is a great loss, just think, thats half a stone closer to goal! Best of luck tomorrow!

brilliant losses ladies, keep up the good work x

I'm doing SW online too, and I signed up on a Sunday to get the info ready to start the plan on the following Wednesday. It made me put my weight in when I registered, and set my WI day as Sunday, but I used the 'contact us' feature on the website to ask them to change my days, and explained why, and they changed it to Wednesdays the same day It kept my original weight, but also added my 'starting plan today' weight, and will track me on a Wednesday from now on, so if you wanted to change your online WI day to a different day, just send them a quick message via the 'contact us' and I am sure they will be happy to do that for you.

Thank you so much for that info! My starting weight was wrong too, I only put in a guesstimate of what my weight was when i signed up, thinking I would have an official starting weigh in, but i was out by 2.5lbs! Will ask them to change that too, thanks so much for the help!
