Hi everyone!

Just popping by to say Hello!

I'm new here, I joined the site a year ago but a death of a very special someone put dieting to the back of my mind.

12mths on, a new partner and the prospect of a holiday is enough to get me back on the wagon.

I've lost a lot of weight following Slimming World but a change in my circumstances means I can't get to the classes now, I don't have the willpower to do the plan at home. I'm going to try meal replacements for the first time ever. I've ordered some Optislim through an offer on Groupon, whilst I'm waiting for the package to arrive I've stocked up on Slimfast.

I've never done anything like this before so any tips or advice would be very much appreciated!!

I need to lose about 6 stone in relality but if i can shift 3 maybe 4stone then I'd happily get myself in a bathing suit in front of my new man

Hello!! I wish you all the best with your plan, personally I couldn't do a shakes plan as I would miss eating too much!! Just started slimming world, find out tomm if working but if it is it's a good way to 'diet' least you can eat lots and with syns have something naughty too!!

good luck! I shouldve said I lost a lot of weight following slimming world a few years ago! I found it easy but i'm in a different frame of mind these days too, I need to be strict (and drastic too!)

Thanks, it's day 1 today and has gone ok...ive had about 5 litres of water so havent felt hungry. I also used to drink an awful lot of diet coke too so I'm cutting that out as that makes you crave food too doesn't it, so far no caffeinne withdrawals either!

Lots of luck to you all too x

Yes that's true sounds like you had good start!! Wish you well, hope you do really well on it. It's so hard isn't it I wish I was one of those people who could eat what I like!!!

 

[garysgirl]

I just wished I didn't like food! A few problems would be solved there wouldnt they haha x

If only it was that easy!!!
