Hi All
I have been serial dieter for years but when I joined slimming world in Jan 2011, I finally found a diet that worked for me, I never felt hungry and it fitted into my lifestyle
In June 2011, I had lost close to two stone when my partner lost his job, meetings were no longer affordable so I decided to go it alone
After 6 months I felt the weigh creeping back on and by the time I decided to rejoin a meeting this week I had pretty much put back on what I had lost:cry:
What I realised is, I need the support of the group to succeed at the diet, so this time I have joined with my Mum and have decided to post this weight loss diary to hopefully get some ideas and tips from everyone else and to keep a record to go back to if I am struggling

Hi Laura, well done and good luck! I am in the same boat really - started my diet last Jan, lost 2 stone, fell off the wagon and have put it all back on! Decided today to come back on here and give things another go.

Looking forward to following your progress!
