Hello all, I am a new member to this forum, I used to use another one specifically for slimming world, but found it not as helpful as I'd like. I have to say this forum is quite complicated and I'm finding it hard to work my way around it... LOL!
 
Hi Catsy, welcome.
You'll get the hang of it, it's just cos it's a massive forum. The forum jump tool in the blue tool bar at the top of the page is really handy, as are most of the 'stickys' for each forum.
 
Hi everyone! I have only just joined, and have about 75lbs of weight to shift. I have just joined slimmingworld on tuesday, and it's going well so far. I have never joined a slimming club/diet before OR a forum site, so this is 2 firsts in one week! :)
 
Irene, did you mean to post a link? X

Hello, I have just joined after googling for info on gastric banding. I have been dieting nearly all my life and I must admit its lovely to know there are so many out there who have large amounts to lose.

I have been on slimming world, weight watchers, rosemary conley etc, all successful in their own ways but I just couldn't stick at them long term. I'm currently getting weighed each week at the docs and following portion control, its been ok but I have just discussed surgery with the doc and am getting referred to a specialist as think am going to have to go down a more drastic route.

Nice to meet everyone and look forward to speaking to you and supporting each other through this long journey.
 
Hi and welcome sarjoamy. Perhaps you might like to post in the surgical weight loss section for support and encouragement

Hiya

I am loving the site and have had some good response to a couple of questions and I feel so much better with all the support you receive on here. I am struggling a bit with the technical side of the site I have been on tutorials and set up a weight tracker to add to my signature but it does not show up I have done it twice now and just don't understand why it does not show up when I post a thread like every ones else does am I just being a bit dum here?
 
Hi, I have just signed up as new member. I really like the recipe section, have joined Slimming World 3 weeks ago but not lost a single pound - instead I gained :mad:

I have a 3 year old boy and a 2 1/2 months old little girl. Breast-feeding should make losing weight easier but I didn't find that with my son at all! I have had visitors, I didn't have many delicious recipes with the new regime and we have just been on holiday for a week. I have been trying to be good but didn't work out. Worried about going to class again as I won't have lost anything again :cry:. They have money back guarantee but you have to do the diary which I gave up after eating lots. First week I had digestion problems with all the fruit and vegetables I ate but that's better now...
 
Thanks IreneH, it's going better :) Your recipe section is great, I have made the frozen SW chips and my hubby and little son love them!
