Hi Mumsa1, I just joined this week too! So welcome from me too. Seems a brilliant site. I Have decided to follow diet by myself at home this time, find weekly meeting weigh-ins a bit too stressful!
I'm on Slimming world too, phonicshunny, again .....!
Have tried other quick fix diets, but keep coming back to SW for its ease of fitting in with family life, and letting me have chocolate without feeling guilty and eating lots of freeeee foods! And I did reach my target weight a few years ago - but have since put in back on and more!
