Good luck! I'm new to SW so starting on Wed (found a group near me on Tues). x

I totally agree, and brisk walking is good exercise! Its better to start off with what you can manage and gradually push yourself rather than try too do too much at the start and risk injuring yourself or getting fed up with it (which is what I always do!)

Was about the same weight on there as I am now (240lbs) and the dress was a size 20 (I'm a slightly too-tight 18 in most high street stuff). It had a hell of a corset in it though, wish I could wear a wedding dress every day, they are way more flattering than everyday clothes!

That is my plan too lol! Me in my dress - hope it works.

Totally gorgeous! Is it Alfred Angelo 1136? Think I tried that one on when I was shopping, but ended up going for a different one! You look stunning in it anyhow, I love all the sparkly detail. I have heard of trash the dress shoots, and its something I would consider, but I really want to...

Yeah would love to see a pic! I got married in October and I love seeing dress pics! I loved wearing my dress so much, its so sad now that it is packed away in a box at home :(

That's about 5lbs I think - well done, that must feel really encouraging! BTW I'm assuming its your wedding dress you are getting fitted for? What's it like? Congratulations on your wedding. x

I've been reading about that plan, it sounds really good, think I'm going to give it a go!

This is a really interesting thread. I think that overeating is my self-harm - I'm punishing myself because I didn't like myself to start with, so I overate and made myself fat so that I had a reason / excuse to hate myself, if that makes any sense. Its quite scary facing up to these things -...

I've been starting to think recently that I might be suffering from PCOS. I've always had excessive body and facial hair, and my skin isn't great. My periods were really irregular when I was younger, and I've recently come off the pill as I was worried it might have been masking an underlying...

Good luck! Can you see if you can delay the fitting? Even a couple of weeks could make a big difference if you're really going for it.

I like to keep them up until the 6th (i.e. as long as possible) but my husband decided he was sick of Christmas yesterday and took them all down, so now the house is all bare again (but at least I don't have to pack them away!)

A load of my colleagues at work rave about their Wii Fits, but I don't actually know anyone whose managed to stick to it enough to really lose any weight - they all seem to do it for a week or so then only get it out for parties, lol! If you think you would stick with it then it could...

That is a great idea! Think I will do the £2 for a pound thing too, and treat myself to some fab things at the end.

I (try to) swim 2-3 times a week, have had a couple of months where I haven't been going much so I'm attempting to get back on track! I usually do 50 lengths which takes me about half an hour, but I'm trying to mix it up a bit more. I also walk to work in the morning (20 mins) and do half an...

I tend to use fat as an excuse not to do things like meeting new people or going on nights out sometimes, or taking on things at work - need to stop using it as an excuse so that's probably my number 1!

I always re-read some books....some because I love them like Pride and Prejudice and others because its easy to re-read them so it's relaxing (some of the many chick lit books I read which all tend to merge into one after a little while so I never get bored of re-reading!) I also tend to read...

Aww, all the 'oldies' on here seem lovely too! I'm from Newcastle. BTW love your Big FIVE on your signature x

That sounds good, I love chilli con carne so will definitely give that one a go!

lol yes we do! :) sounds like you are on the right track then, I know what you mean about not wanting to seem like a failure to your friend - I'm kind of the same with my husband, have told him I am going to do it, so I bloomin' well will now! even if it takes you a while to lose the weight...

thanks for the warm welcome everyone xkawaiix i'm looking to lose a lot - at least 4 stone I think, happy to do it fairly gradually as I want to keep it off this time, so thought SW was worth a go as its something that hopefully I should be able to stick to in the long term x

Well done and happy new year!

Hiya! I'm also new, but I'm trying SW for the first time, going to join and start on Tuesday. Good luck for your weight loss! x

OK thanks for the advice, will give her a call! x

You all look amazing....hopefully before too long I will be able to join you in posting before and after pics! x

Sorry to hijack thread, but was wondering how many people experienced stretch marks from weight loss? I've got loads (some faded and some fresh :() from weight gain over the years, but was hoping I might not get too many from losing weight if I do it fairly steadily.....what have people's...

Hi floralaura, I'm a Jan 1st newbie too and I could have written exactly what you said, I'm 24 and don't want to waste any more years feeling fat and unhappy! I wish you the very best of luck with your weight loss. x

Hi Emma - I'm also new here and can relate to a lot of what you said. I'm also 24 and have been steadily putting on weight since I left school. I did have weight issues when I was at school, but actually was the perfect weight for my height then, unfortunately those days are long gone for me and...

Hi everyone. Well I've been lurking today reading some of the posts and you seem like a friendly and supportive lot.....exactly what I need! :o Have found a slimming world group near me and I'm hoping to start that on Tues....my first try at 'proper' weightloss after losing a few pounds and...

Hi all, am new and hope I'm posting my Q in the right place! Have decided to join SW and there's a class near me next Tuesday. Can I just turn up and join? Is the time listed on the website the time I would need to show up, or would I need to go earlier on the first week? Do I have to do...
