So my weight has been slowly creeping up over the last 5 yrs, I had a family holiday booked and planned on dieting but just never seemed to find the time you know the excuses!

then I went holiday clothes shopping who might I add has been dieting and has lost 2st in 12 months so while I was grabbing the size 14's she was grabbing the size 8's, honestly I could of cried!!!!

I decided to enjoy my holiday and the then start Slimming World when I get home. I have honestly never been more determine to loss weight and stick to a diet and slimming world is amazing!!! Lots of choice and more importantly loads of support.

Im not not going to the groups I'm just doing it myself using this site.

Fingers crossed xxx
 
Good luck with your journey, Clared81! There is tons of support on this site so don't feel afraid to ask any questions or look at the inspiration section if you find yourself straying off path - it happens to all of us. :)
 
Welcome Clare x
 
Hi Clare!

I'm just about to start my slimming world journey as well so metaphorically we're on the same page =) I've found this forum so amazing and it's really helped me get ready to make this change to my life.

If you ever need a grumble buddy I'm sure I'll pop up to help with that ;)

Good Luck!!

Welcome, Clare and good luck. This site is amazing for all the support and advice it gives so you needn't think, that although you're not going to a SW group, you are doing it alone. We're all here for each other. :)

Hiya. How are you finding the eating plan??

There is so much to make and choose from it doesn't feel like a diet.

Good luck

Sorry on the last reply guys. Thank you for all your nice words. Loving slimming world I never run out of things to eat and I've found that if I plan my food for the next day I don't even get tempted. I run a little tuck shop at work so you can imagine how hard it can be but I've found my self control and love it!!! I've now lost 5lb in two weeks and I'm so happy.


How how did everyone cope over easter, I surprised myself by not eating a single egg but had a toffe muller light instead lol.

Hiya, well done on your loss :)

I've done pretty well with chocolate of Easter (not son good with the rest of my food yesterday though lol) although my son did give me a piece of his chocolate orange today which cost me 2.5 syns!

Good luck with your journey xx
 
Good luck Clare.

I am going to the groups every week - staying every second week due to childcare as I'm a single parent. My weight has crept up over the last 6 years since I stopped smoking, and now I know I really have to do something.

My 8 year old daughter has been really supportive - although she can criticize a lot. I know she doesn't exactly mean it but she is just trying to be supportive and tell the truth - which I have always taught her to do, so I really can't say nothing.

This has made me more determined than ever to lose weight. Have been going to SW for four weeks on Wednesday when I get weighed again - and so far I have lost 1st 1/2 lb which I am delighted at.

So, good luck with your journey and I'm sure there are lots of supportive people on this group.

Wow Amelia that's amazing we'll done. My OH normally just let's me do what I'm doing and not really that supportive but this time he has really supported me always asking if I'm allow this or that and if he fancies a take away he always makes me order something within my syns lol good job really as feel that's keeping me on track.

Off work sick sick at the moment....got the dreaded flu!!!! Trying my hardest to stay on track even though I'm craving really bad food, the other half gave me money and told me to go fruit and veg shopping lol now I have loads of fruit think ill do myself a big bowl with muller light vanilla and crumble 1 mini meringue nest on it, feels like a treat lol.

Hi Clare, welcome to mini's :)

Lol it's what got me in this mess in the first place lol. Trying to do a syn free day today as I c
had a can of full fat coke yesterday because I had no Pepsi max in oops x
 
Whoops lol, I'm trying to be syn free today as well as I had half a chocolate orange on Monday night!
 
Sorry been really busy and not had chance to get on here.
