Hi I'm new to this site and WLS I had my surgery 1/8/09 I am finding it really hard to get to grips with any routine and am feeling out of control with my diet and drinking. The day I started my liver shrinking diet my dad passed away, I had my surgery 3 days after I buried my dad, and i am just so unhappy that it doesn't matter how much or how little I lose.

Hi there biglittlesis im so sorry to hear about your bereavement its only natural that your gonna feel unhappy right now no matter how much weight you loose or not you are gonna be unhappy.

Ive not had weight loss surgery yet and fairly new to this site myself but all I can say is stick around have a good read and if your unsure of anything just ask take care xxx

Thanks for the info Mini, just found the site this week - it's huge - I could be on here for hours! But it's great reading about others successes and easy to identify with struggles and feel less alone! First full day today and so far so good. Spag bol was lovely, good and spicey.

Hi, I just joined today after coming across this site searching for slimming world recipes. I've been overweight as long as I can remember and have finally decided to do something about it, due to an agreement made with my Mum for her to stop smoking if I lose weight!! Now that i've made the decision I intend to stick to it no matter what happens with her. I'm hoping that with the loss of weight will come greater fitness to allow me to run around more with my 2 little girls.

Hey there another newbie!
I'm Sam, 24 years old and trying the old fashioned eating sensibly and exercise diet (god help me! lol)
I currently weigh 16.7 stone (at my heaviest i was 17.7)
I want to get down to about 12- 12.7 stone (I am 6 foot 2 in height so i think that would be about right)
Fingers crossed, I am getting married next September so no more excuses i just have to get on with it!!!

Hi, just joined today, Found the site when searching for the eating out guide for WW. My mom use to go WW years ago, and I've decided to take it upon myself to also start. I started on Monday and so far so good! Be good to get to know other members, and success stories!

Hi

Hi everyone,

My name is Kate and I am new to this site! Joined slimming world yesterday but started diet on monday after being a veteren weight watcher. After having my daughter in January I have been trying to shift the weight! Love the slimming world plan and am following it to the letter but feel as if I am putting weight on not losing it!
Anyone else feel like that? I get weighed next thursday so will find out then

Look forward to any advice or tips on slimming world plan

Hope everyone is doing ok with their weight loss !

 

[Ellie65]

Hi!
I'm Sassie (by name and nature!). I've had weight issues for as long as I've been alive (fifty years!) but had never been as heavy as I was three weeks ago (not even when pregnant!). So, after seeing an advertisement I bought myself a diet plate, and haven't looked back: half a stone gone, and three inches off my waist. It's so convenient being able to eat the same food as the rest of my family (especially as I have to cook it!) and I can truly say that I have not felt hungry even once.

Hope to get to know you all as the weeks go on, and to jazz up my posts a bit, when I work out how to do it!

Sass xx

Hi there Sass welcome, ermmmm Diet plate????

newbie here

hello I am a newbie,
i have no idea if i am doing this right as i seem to keep deleting things i write.......LOL!
I am trying to do slimming world and my GP just suggested orlistat. i am motivated but have about 120ilbs to lose which seems a mammoth task.
Would love to have a group of on-line mates in the same position so that i can get there this time! Should I start a new thread/ blog ?????
Any advice appreciated.

Hi there Strawberry blonde welcome.

In my opinion I would start a thread in the Slimming world section at least then if you have any problems regarding the SW plans there will be someone who will be able to advise you accordingly.

Good Luck xxx

Hi everyone,

I started Cambridge Diet in February and lost 3 stone by May, I then put 1 stone back on and i've gone on the diet again and lost 1 stone in 3 weeks by doing sole source. I try to swim 3 times a week bu have taken it easy whilst sole sourcing. I weigh 11s 1llbs and am about 5ft 5 so ideally would like to get to 9st 10lbs. I want to do something that is long term and not a quick fix so googled help and found this site - it's amazing!

 

[savageunicorn]

Hi, I'm Cath and am completely new to to this.
I joined slimming world in June and hope to lose 77lbs. lost 19 lbs so far. Had a bit of a bad 5 weeks gaining and losing the same 2 lbs. I know where i'm going wrong. I eat take away food encouraged by my husband.
Feel a bit like I need more will power to say no when he suggests a pizza or curry, but I don't want to deprive him either. Then I get annoyed with myself, Any suggestions to get out of this bad habit???
