Totally new to the site.
I successfully followed SW after having my children 19 years ago, getting to a comfortable 11stone/size 12. Due to physical injury, then having issues with mobility due to finding I have arthritis and fibromyalgia my weight slowly crept upto 15stone 7lbs (size 20) at the start of 2013. So in January I decided to do something about it.
Jan - Mar: tried calorie counting and lost 1stone (now 14st 7lbs and size 18)
Apr - Aug: Slim & Save and almost lost another 2 stone (now 12st 9lbs and size 14/16 depending on where I shop)
I have now decided that for the final 2 stone, I need to build healthy eating into my life, keep the processed carbs/wheat products low as I have found that these make the fibromyalgia and arthritis worse. So I have dug my Slimming World books back out and decided that I am going to follow the RED plan again. Not sure how much the plan has changed over the years, so hoping this forum will help. I can't join a group near me as the only groups happen on days/times when I am at work.
So starting today... Looking forward to meeting you all.
