Lost in the harbor
Hi everyone,
Having lurked here before I thought I'd finally sign up. I've just started Slimming World for the third time. Both previous attempts were relatively successful (the last time I went - 2008-9ish - I lost over three stone) but I never reached my target. I got to the plateaux stage where it's hard to keep losing, then lost motivation for the diet, and slowly put the weight back on after I'd left the group. So to be honest I'm still feeling slightly defeated (even having been back to my first group), but I do know that SW works for me.
I have a few issues with SW and the diet industry as a whole (product pushing, and a general sense of exploitation of unhappy folks) but like I say, I do know it works. So just trying to rediscover that headspace.... :/
I'm sure I'll see some of you around on the boards...
