Journey to a slimmer, happier me!!

[curlygirly]

I'm starting Slimming world again tonight!
I managed to go for four weeks back in march, but being a student at the time I didn't have the money to keep going to WI and unfortunately had to leave it. I was really impressed with SW though as I lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks on the green plan... Tried to follow it from the book to save money but didn't really work.. I followed extra easy 100% but just stayed around the same sort of weight!

I have now graduated and have decided that now is the time to rejoin! I need to lose a good 6 stone, in order to be able to buy clothes from any store I want and to just generally feel better in myself!

People have said I'm lucky because I don't look as big as I am.. (I'm a size 18-20) as I am quite tall and dont carry my weight all in one place, which is alright for them to say :sigh:but I want to lose weight for health reasons and want to look better!

Hopefully this forum will become a bit of a lifeline as it's always great to be talking to people going through the same things.

Looking forward to sharing journeys with you all!

Good luck

Good luck on your Slimming World journey Curlgirly. I am also a fairly new member but have found the forum to be a real lifeline, especialy when I have been feeling a bit demoralised. Hope your first meeting went well.

Wow Eve amazing to see how much weight you've lost thats fantastic! If you have any tips please fill me in
I Did slimming world before but only lasted a month as I couldn't afford the groups whilst I was at uni. really rated it as i lost 8lb in 2 weeks on green... then i went on extra easy and kind of lost it. So i'm gonna try and stick to green 100% and use flexible syns as i tend not to have syns during the week but I sing at a lot of functions and weddings at the weekend and there are always drinks flowing so save them for then!! x
