Hi. I've been a yo yo dieter for years but now trying to stick to slimming world at home because I hate the pressure in groups. I have IBS (so trying to follow low fodmap) and my monthly cycles aren't just once a month they are twice a month which is a nightmare. Long story short, due to this I am struggling badly as I normally put on anything up to 4lbs those weeks and it then disheartens me so I end up failing miserably, but this time I really don't want to. Does anyone have any tips for me please? Thanks

Welcome, Jet. We'll help you stay on track - your part of that deal is to track what you eat and post daily! So overall you'll tick down. Consistency will help you succeed this time. You'll see some other SW-ers at home in earlier threads here on introductions and in the SW forum here. Not all SW folk read intros - so post yr question in the SW area on here too.
In the meantime, work through this and see how you what you can do differently this time. https://ucalgary.ca/cdm/files/cdm/changeyourthinkingtohelpmanageyourweight20130412.pdf
@Trefoil - any FODMAP advice for Jet who is starting SW?
Good luck!

Hello and welcome.
There is a SW community here so u can start by looking at some of the diaries there for some motivation. Maybe start a diary if your own.
I don't do SW personally but I do find that posting here daily not only helps me realise what I'm eating and when I'm eating it but as I always make a point to put down how I'm feeling I can see at which points things are getting me down etc. Recently when I started I can see in my diary that I had horrible headaches and lethargy but I still powered on and stuck to my plan and in three weeks I've lost a stone and feel really good. Then just today I made an effort with hair and make up and wore something that isn't washed out leggings with a baggy top and trainers and I actually feel really good about myself. You can too so long as you don't get disheartened when the scales don't play ball. Here is also a good place to record non scale victories which are just as important.
Good luck - let me know if you start a diary and I'll pop in to read and support
