Still here but I don't think i'll be part of this thread, for a VERY long long time anyway!!!
I had my second child 6 weeks ago, pre pregnancy I was 8st 7 and out of target already and 6 weeks postpartum I weigh 9st 11 and i've just had to but some size 14 jeans which (for me) is not where I want to be!!!
I will be joining back at class in the New Year but until then i'm trying to introduce slimming world into our meals but its so hard with a baby that want's our constant attention! As soon as we sit down for food he's crying out, and if hubby isn't here I can't prepare food anyway!
I know where i'm going wrong and not losing (for example living off tomato soup when I need to make my own!) so its not like i'm really trying and not seeing results.
You've done so well to maintain to be under 8stone though, I can only imagine what that would be like!!!
I will lurk around though

This thread looks like it's gone a bit quiet... Hello? Anybody out there? I'm new to SW - I started last week and I'm trying to go it alone, with the help of this forum. I'm coming in at the *very* top of the 8 stone mark. I would like to get back down into the mid-low 7's as this is where I used to be a few years ago. Is anyone else in the same boat? And, if so, have you found success using SW? My main concern is that I might be absentmindedly eating too many calories now/ eating more than when I started due to the free food allowance and insistence that we don't need to count calories. I was an avid calorie counter for a really long time, although it clearly wasn't working for me as the weight just kept piling on! I do tend to eat pretty healthily, though... my problems are portion control and too much wine! Well, that and over ambitious calorie control when I have really wanted to lose - and I think that may have backfired and ended up messing with my metabolism. 
Anyone who's in a similar position - "hi"! Looking forward to chatting more.

I'm still here
I am hovering around 8st 9lb atm, would love to be 8st by summer again though. I follow SW but do 2 x 500 cal fast days each week too. More for health reasons but it does mean I can have a few treats at the weekend and too and not gain too much weight.
I lost 3 stone a few years ago and have hovered between 8st and 9st ever since. I found 8st difficult to maintain though so tweaked my target to 8st 7 again which I find it much easier maintaining. I'm getting married on NYE though so would like to have the extra half stone off for that xx

xxBumping this old thread ... and not sure I even belong here. At weigh in yesterday I was 8st 13.6lbs. My target is 8st 4lb but I am not sure I will be happy with that. Last time I remember being really comfortable with my weight I was 7st 13lbs. I know I can get down to that, just not sure I will be able to maintain and I am worried about yo-yo-ing so picked a weight that is probably OK and easier to maintain. That was my logic anyways. Not so sure now that it will be right for me. Anyone else in a similar position?

Hello! I am
I last weighed at group nearly 3 weeks ago and was 8st 13.5lb... since then I've been on holiday, working lots and on a 4 day course in Scotland where I was out of control of food choices so even though I am back on track now, I'd say I'm prob slightly over 9 atm.
I got down to 8st before and felt great but found it very difficult to maintain - even with fast days and lots of exercise! I seem to be able to maintain pretty well around 8st 7lb so I lifted my target to that and maintained it for around 3 years but recently I've broken my foot, got married, been on honeymoon etc and my weight has crept up around half a stone.
Would love to get right back down again but I just love wine and food too much!!! xx
