New to MiniMims - Slimming World

[MarMar59]

Hello,

I'm new here and would like to introduce myself.

I've tried Slimming World on and off for a while:
Group 2012 for 8 months - lost half stone (very slow). I got a bit discouraged as most people had lost 2 -4 stones in the same time period. I recorded everything I ate and rarely ever went above 5 syns. I did eat a lot of fruits though.

Online 2013 - 2014 for 1 year - lost 4 lbs. (really, really slow). For some reason I didn't think I got the support I need (personally) doing it online.

I'm trying to do this on my own this time as I have all the books and I also subscribe to the magazine. I Like Slimming World because I don't like counting and weighing. I can handle measuring Healthy Extras and Syns while not having to worry about anything else.

Hey, good luck with your weight loss! Hope you are successful- I know a lot of people find they lose better when they eat their full syn allowance! Might be worth giving a try?

Hi, Im pretty much the same, back and forward with SW over the years. But I am back on it now, back to group and losing 1 pound a week. Which is fine with me. I have found this time around that I have about 10-15 syns a day and I still lose weight, so maybe having 5 syns is not enough for you.

Good luck on your journey

Good luck. I'm also starting again for the millionth time. But I'm going to do this at home. Eek. The difference this time is I have my biggest supporter and critic on board. My mum was 75 this week and I've promised her I won't be this weight when she is 76. She spent all her young adult life overweight but managed to lose it at 50. She knows how hard it is and how miserable I am and without sounding morbid I don't want anything to happen to her and know I'm unhappy

Hi everyone

I'm new to the site as well. Have done Slimming World on and off for years but have had a big gain over the last three years and want to lose 3 stone, so I'm back again!

Good luck everyone!

Good luck to everyone. 'Yes, we can'

Also, I have an additional challenge...I'm trying to do vegetarian. I started this past February by giving up sweets and meat for Lent and have decided to continue. Quorn is my new best friend.

Good luck newbies! As a relative newbie myself, I've seen really good losses so far. I agree with previous posts ref syns; I find that my bigger losses have actually been when I've included higher syns. I try and use them in meals, rather than having chocolate and crisps (although there are times when I just can't resist!)
