Bit baffled!

[carrielette]

Hello All! Started SW today! And found this site today because of all the handy tips on Google! Not sure what I'm more baffled with, my blondeness try to work out this site or the fact that I feel like I have been eating all day?? LOL I would really like to make good use of this site, I struggle with severe anxiety having anxiety attacks when I leave the house, so it would be great to make some friends? I have 6 stone to loose, and can't remember the last time I felt pretty. I'm hoping a little weight loss will lead to me having more confidence! Maybe?

Hi and welcome!

I started sw nearly 6 weeks ago & came on here shortly after, everyones very friendly

Ive suffered from anxiety & depression a lot in the past (which was the main cause if my weight gain in my opinion) so I can understand how you feel. The buzz you get when you start losung weight is amazing & its great to feel in control, sw is such a great plan to follow.

Good luck with your journey, Im always around if you need me for support x

Hi! Huge welcome and congrats on starting SW! I have about 8 stone to lose, so know what its like to have more than average to lose! SW is the best thing I have ever done. Its hard to get your head around the plan, that you can eat as much as you need to fill you and not have to feel guilty about it! Its amazing how it works. Its so easy to follow, I wish I found it years ago!

I'm an online member, lost 11lbs in 11 weeks (slow compared to some, but lightening speed for me! Took me a whole year to lose 28lbs last year) and I love it. Its got loads of great articles and having access to the syns online is a big help.

Best of luck on your journey!!

Maybe see how you get on with it on your own, I have access to the site via group - not sure if there is much difference to it if you are an online member? But I tend to spend much more time on here than I do on the SW Site, these forums are fantastic and there are always some kind and knowledgeable people around and most of all if there's any questions you have you're pretty much guaranteed they have already been answered on here, so try searching the forums for ideas! Good luck!
