I know how you feel i am doing mine from home at the minute as i suffer from severe anxiety and fibromyalgia so i struggle to get to a group. I borrowed my daughters pack. I have been on it almost a week now and i am loving it. Good luck

Hi everyone am new to slimming world been doing it from the end of august and can't believe how fab it is, am looking some advice on varying healthy extra b's
My problem is 4 kids and bread. I'm surrounded by it . I mainly live on the sandwich or on toast lifestyle. It's small meals and filling. By the time I've cooked for the children . I don't want a huge meal. I also like wet food. So low syn thick sauces . Anyone else struggling with the suggested plate ratios ?

I was like that Louiep i was eating far to much bread and cheese and convenience foods as have 5 kids but 2 have grown up and moved out so decided to get some recipes and try cooking from scratch and it has helped brilliant. I have just done my first week and lost 6lb. Swap to 400g wholemeal bread

Welcome and good luck guys!
Just wanted to say that I totally sympathise. I have had severe anxiety with agoraphobia for about 7 years now (part of the reason I got so big!).
If you can manage to get out to a group just one time, though, I can't tell you how much it has helped my anxiety. I go for small walks every day now (I'm still scared but it's starting to feel normal again) and I really look forward to my one night out every week. It's weird, but having a routine and being part of a group is often the most crippling part of agoraphobia.
Even if you cry and quit after one session, it's totally worth making an attempt at going to a nearby group. If you have to go home, you know you tried... If not, you're making friends and actively working to "cure" yourself... It's been 6 weeks for me, and I've stopped taking my medication!
Take care xx
