    Exclamation I Need to Lose 8 Stones

    Hi All, Im new to Minimins so im not really sure how it works. i have 8 Stones to lose for medical reasons and not too sure how to go about it. Ive tried many diets in the past only to put all the weight i lose back on.

    A friend suggested Slimming World and I have thought about weight Loss surgery as well.

    Any ideas, advise.. Please... Anyone

    Hiya!

    I agree with Rainbow! I love SW - I started in April this year at 18 stone 2 lb and have lost nearly 4 stone so far and can honestly say I have never been hungry!

    Thank you so much for that Rainbow. How long did it take you to lose 45lbs.. i have read about a lot of people that have been on the slimming world plan so i think i will definitely go for it. i just found a group close to me so i may be heading there this evening for the 7pm meeting. Wish me luck :-)

    I have 9 stone to lose and I am only 2lbs off my first stone in 5 weeks. And I am never hungry either.


    I may be the last turtle over the finishing line but at least I will look good in my shell!

    Start Weight 21st 6lbs

    Well done for taking the first step. It's much healthier to do slimming world and it teaches you healthy eating. Surgery is always risky so it's definitely a last resort for when you've tried everything else. Good luck, you can do it!


    This is my 4th attempt to get to target with SW!

    Congratulations on starting your journey Sino. Tomorrow is my 4th weigh in - so only a few weeks ahead of you. I know how much courage it takes to get to the class and brave those scales. I wish you success and hope you enjoy the ride!!!
