Hi - welcome to this site - it is fantastic!
Good on you for taking control now - you will be successful.
I guess that you are not going to group? May be worth joining one of the weekly weigh in groups on here, so that you can track your losses.
Good luck on your journey. x

Hello and welcome xxx

 

[*yummy_mummy*]

good luck on your weight loss journey, i have just joined sw myself, well 2 week ago. just starting week 3. i wish id joined SW in the first place as im struggling so much to kick all the bad habbits i have from WW.

i'm also on the dreaded first week where you have to think so carefully about everything you eat to start breaking those bad habits!
Been looking at this site since last week and it seems like a good place to come when the fridge is calling (generally about 9pm for me).
I reckon we can do it, it just seems a long way to go at this point...

Hi, I've just joined the forum today but have been following SW since Arpil. I believe with support and knowledge it is the way to loose weight. I don't go to class so will be using this forum loads. Good luck to all. x

I weigh 19st 12 today - next week MUCH less.

Good luck to you all - Slimming world is great and you'll definitely notice a difference both in weight, and in how much better you feel! x

HI Snippit
I am also new to the forum, I joined on Tue 25th I have also done slimming world before, so i am also doing the plan without going to a class I am 46 and would also like to chase my grand daughter around the garden, i plan to weigh on a Monday morning so it would be good to do this together, I will also be doing the red days as i find this one fits in better for me
Keep in touch

Hi snippit (and nikkiruth).
I started following sw again on Monday morning and will also be weighing, at home, on a Monday. I am 38 and had my 3rd baby in December, I am around my pre-preg weight but that's currently 12st 13.5 so I have a bit of a way to go. My first goal is to lose the 13.5lb then I'll do it in 1/2st batches I think.
Lots of luck with your weight loss journeys eveyone, I shall be in and out for support and I think it'd be good for me to record my losses somewhere???

Hi snippit

[Beemonsta]

How did everyone do? I lost 3lb

 

[Nikkiruth]

Hi Bee
Well done you! :clap: I manged 4lb's so I am very pleased with my result,

 

[emma-louise]

hi everyone
well done everyone on all your weight losses! ive just finished my first week of SW today and lost 4lbs very pleased with myself and a little bit smug as my flatmates all seem to think that there is no way i could possibly lose weight when ive been eating as much as i have.... that showed them hehe
im following the EE plan and it seems to be going well so far, can anyone a bit more experienced explain to me how HeA and HeB work as im getting a bit bored of just weetabix and milk every morning
thanks and good luck everyone
xx

 

[Nikkiruth]

Hi Emma
I think because your doing EE, you don't have as much choice as if you were following Red or Green. So your limited to bread and cereal or hi'fi bars on B and milk or cheese on A, and only one of each. The reason you have A and B's are to make sure you have Fibre and Calcium, I hope i have explained it if not let me know?

 

[Beemonsta]

Well done Nikki!! 4lb was great hun. I lost 2.5 this week so I'm pleased again. Have a weekend away this weekend & i'm not going to spend the time worrying about what I eat (old friend, also just had her 3rd baby & she really loves her food) so I'll be sticking to plan all week, saving as many syns as poss (also my last week exclusively breastfeeding next week) & keep my fingers crossed.
