Hi,
My name is Sarah and I am 42.
I have lost several stone with SW on 2 previous occasions and then put it all (and more) back on. I have Joint Hypermobility Syndrome so really need to lose weight to ease the strain on my joints. I sprained my knee in September and it has really brought home to me. I want to lose about 9 stone.
I would rejoin SW but there are not any groups locally that fit my schedule and I can't see any point in doing the online version, its going to the group that makes me accountable! So here's hoping that joining a community like this may help.
Best of luck to everyone on their weight loss journey.
Cheers
Sarah

Hello, Sarah, and welcome! This forum is great for support, it's helped me so much. I too needed to lose weight for the sake of my joints - in my case, it's osteoarthritis in both knees - and was 10 stone overweight when I started, so I know how daunting it is. But you can definitely do it! All the best. xx

Hi, Thanks everyone for the welcome.
I have bitten the bullet and rejoined slimming world. 1 week in, lost 4.5 lbs.
Keep up the good work everyone!
