Hi hun, I would have responded earlier if I'd seen your thread! Lots of responses now though yayy!! You've so come to the right place!! We all have issues with our weight here, whatever size we are! The main thing is that we're willing and eager to do something about it! I joined Slimming World 14 months ago at around 16 stone at 5 ft 6. I've now lost 4 stone 3lb- It hasn't been a straight forward journey- I've had lots of ups and downs along the way but what I'm proud of myself for is I've stuck to it and kept going through the difficult times and always come out the other end. For the first time ever I feel positive I'm going to get to target and can honestly say that I've completely changed the way I see food! I am learning that I can have treats but only some of the time, not all the time! It's about making good choices where possible but not beating yourself up for the times you make naughtier ones! You can do this! Whichever plan you decide to follow to lose weight just stay positive and use Minimins to your advantage! You will get back what you put in X Good luck!X
