Im an ex SW too. I too needed to learn about portion control. Last time I did SW, I only lost about 5lbs in 8 weeks, I dont think I can handle the massive portion sizes, I would pile high pasta and potatoes and as some others have said frickin mullerlites lol. WW really does give you more...

Hi can I join? Now currently reading the third book in the Hunger Games trilogy! Absolutely love them, devoured the first two in 3 days. Any other recomendations would be great!! Got a kindle voucher for my birthday that needs using up x

First WI yesterday, 5 and half lbs gone!! Absolutely delighted!! Well done on good weightlosses everyone x

Lost 5 and half lbs on my first weigh in!! Was so happy with that. I can really see myself sticking to WW this time, my leader is lovely and Ive got that incentive of my wedding dress in my mind!! Today I have had 21 points so far so tempted to get a special chow mein in for tea, Im starving...

Hi everyone, joined ww last week so this coming Thursday is my first WI. Hoping for a good loss this week. Can I join please? X

Well done on your weight loss, that's brilliant. And next week silver 7 for sure. My son was born July last year & I have a 4 year old daughter so I'm sort of in the same boat as you. My boy gets up a million times a night so I find it hard to get motivation to exercise but I'm definitely going...

Thanks everyone. This is such a good site for tips & food ideas. I was a die hard sw girl (not that i ever lost much) but i have seriously been converted to ww now. I have lots of dailies, 38, so not struggling at all so far xx

It is hard, my daughter was an excellent sleeper but my boy, oh my!! he still gets ups 6 times a night on average whether its for his dummy or a bottle or something. He can only get better right? lol.

Hi, Im Amanda, just started WW last Thursday and wanted to say hello to you all. Im enjoying the plan so far and hoping for a good first loss on Thursday morning. Ive started a diary too if anyone fancies a nosy. xx

Hi Started WW last thursday and was 17st3.5lbs so really hoping Ill be back in the 16s by my first WI even if its by half a pound lol x

Thank you, Im hoping the scales are right lol they did weigh me the same as the WW scales on Thursday. Im loveing WW so far, Ive done SW millions of times over the last few years but Im not good at portion control so I think this one will be better for me. And Im enjoying cooking properly...

Thanks you, Im enjoying it so far. I was a die hard SW girl (started it many times) but Im not good at portion control so Im hoping WW may be better for me this time x

Hi Im Amanda and Im 25. Im engaged and have two beautiful children who are 4 and 6 months. I started WW on 26th Jan 12 weighing in at 17st3.5lbs which is the heaviest I have ever been. I refuse to get married fat and start heading towards my 30s miserable so its time to make some major...

Hi everyone Im Amanda, I joined this site a few months ago but only stayed on for a couple of weeks but Im back. Started WW last Thursday to try to battle my weight problem which I have had most of my life. I weighed in at 17st3.5lbs, the heaviest I have ever been bar being pregnant with...

Thanks Blossums, gotta say though I felt guilty I enjoyed every mouthful of the bad stuff lol. We usually get takeaway every Friday so Im finding the thought of that keeps me going through the week, for my little treat.

Back on it again today. My car broke down in Tescos, the battery died so I walked the two miles home pushing the pram so at least had a bit of exercise. Had a bowl of cheerios with semi skimmed milk for breakfast, an omelette for lunch with ham, chives and a sprinkling of cheese and for tea is...

Well I had a good day yesterday, I had two weetabix for brekkie, ham salad for lunch and low fat spag bol for tea to which i added loads of veg too, i also had a mini milk (only 31 calories ideal) and a small bag of maltesers. Today has been a bad day but we had a family day out so I can be...

So today I have eaten A mullerlight yogurt for brekkie Tuna pasta salad for lunch with a little mayo. And three cups of coffee plus water. We have got takeaway for tea ;) but Im going to go slightly sensible and have duck in plum sauce minus the skin and noodles. Maybe a cheeky onion ring...

Sounds like you are doing really well, Im 'following' the slimming world diet but really im doing just the same as you, making sensible choices rather than pigging on biscuits etc. Are you getting married on New Years Eve? Thats my daughters 4th birthday so we will both be celebrating xx

Thanks Kimmy, luckily the children are very good, except a little attitude from my daughter, she is 3 going on 13 lol. Good luck on your weight loss for your wedding, it must be so exciting, I cant wait for our big day and its still just under 2 years away yet. Im terrified of the dentist and my...

Yes hes much better, just had a cough & cold. He is now teething though so another battle to face lol. Been ok today, had an ice cream at the park with my daughter & a few chips with my sandwich at lunch but had a good brekkie & mullerlight with fruit for tea so not all that bad. I have got some...

I sometimes have the opposite, I look in the mirror and think I look ok and then I see the pictures and realise actually how big I have become, its like I cant accept the weight I have put on and still think Im the thinner 19 year old I once was.

Thank you Claire, its so good to hear success stories. I know its only day one but Im feeling really positive at the moment. Ive taped a picture of a beautiful wedding dress up in my kitchen and have repeated 'eyes on the prize' a millions times already lol. Its not just about the wedding...

Thank you, I find I have to cook myself yummy food else I get bored or if Im not looking forward to it Ill end up eating something bad. Seeming its such a nice day, a family walk is in order after tea, get those muscles working haha

Finished One Day yesterday & wow, loved it. Really touching book. Im now giving The Stand by Stephen King another go. I started reading it years ago but never finished it but going by everybodys reviews Im going to give it another go. i really want a kindle but im moving house soon & with...

Well the diet was a bit of a non start, my little boy was poorly so I had to sort of stick to easy food. But he is now on the mend & I've started today. Feeling happy & positive about it plus the oh has decided he needs to cut back too. So far today had two weetabix with ss milk & handful of...

Thank you everyone. Looking forward to getting on the plan tomorrow and get me into a size 12 wedding dress. Went to a wedding fayre today and found a picture of a wedding dress I love, going to tape it inside in the cupboard where the goodies are kept lol. x

A book club, I love it, will certainly be reading through the old posts to find some good reads. Im currently reading One Day by David Nicholls, its taking me a while to get through it as my 11 week old has other ideas for my time but Im really enjoying it.

Hi, Im Amanda Im 24 and have two beautiful children, a daughter who is nearly four and a son who is 11 weeks today. Im engaged to a wonderful man and we are planning to get married in Aug 2013. Im currently around 16st6 and am 5ft5 and a size 18 top and 20/22 bottom. Ive been overweight all...

WW is a good diet, Ive lost weight on it before. I did toy with the idea of doing it again but Ive got young children so i find SW fits in easier with family life as you dont have to weigh anything & only need to count syns. i like the wedding dress picture idea, i may have to use that one...

Hi, I'm new too and also starting to slim for my wedding in 2013. I want to wear that dress and know I look fabulous. Im going to be following Slimming World but doing it myself. Start tomorrow. Have you made many plans yet? Im off to my first wedding fayre tomorrow and so excited lol x

Thanks, Ive never had anyone be that blantantly rude to me before. Most of the girls I went out with that night aren't even friends, they are friends of my best friend and though they are nice enough but I felt left out as they are all totally gorgeous and alway have the men swarming round them...

I have a couple of reasons for starting, One is for my childrens sake, I want to be able to do everything with them and not worry Two, Im getting married and want to look my best. And the third one is a comment a man made on a recent night out. I was out with 7 other girls, all of them size...

Hello everyone! Im Amanda, Im 24 and a stay at home mum to my two beautiful children, my daughter who is nearly 4 and my son who is 11 weeks tomorrow. I have tried every diet going and always give up week 5 after losing nearly a stone which always goes back on very quickly. TBH I have...
