Hey there everyone!

Hi there all,i've just found this site after googling for fat free cottage cheese!!
I'm Ali in Wiltshire,have been with slimming world since beginning of July and have lost 19 pounds so far so am pretty pleased with myself as i have quite severe fibromyalgia(chronic muscle pain).I've been ill 2 years,i was running my own florist shop and had to close it:cry:.Since then the weight has crept on with lack of exercise and lots of medication then i lost my mum last xmas and then my comfort eating got worse.I really didnt think i could loose weight with this illness as exercising is so hard but as i have dogs i had to persevere and that has kept me going.
My friend had been to slimming world and was looking really good so i thought i would give it a go.I never realised you could eat so much and loose weight.
It has been a struggle and some weeks i have stayed the same like last week but am hoping for a good loss tomorrow at group.But i havent put on any weight at all so thats great and im hoping to get to my club ten tomorrow(ten percent of my body weight).
Would be lovely to make some new friends on here

Hi, well done so far with your weight loss, it's amazing that you've still lost with all that you've been through. I have only just started and I hope I do as well as you.
