Welcome to Newbies 2013 - Say Hello here!!!

Hi everyone,

Day 2 of SW after making the switch from WW and loving it so far. I know I shouldn't weigh myself everyday but I do and so far 0.5lb off - seems like a good start to me considering the amount of food I was allowed to eat yesterday! Will have to see how I get on at the first WI

Hello I'm new to this site and really need to loose weight, I need advice on which plan to choose, I have looked at both SW and WW. and would really appreciate some feedback. I am 5 foot 2 and weigh 12 stone so have a long way to go. TIA

Hi!

I'm new too. I have done WW and now on SW. I think there's a thread here somewhere that is SW vs WW. I think it is a personal choice as to what kind of plan you think will suit.
Good luck

Welcome ladies, I think a lot of it depends on if you want to count everything you eat everyday,as in points and calories. The only thing I can say is whatever plan you choose, keep a daily diary. You will get to learn the values of everything as time goes by. I like SW, and keep a diary but I like the EXTRA EASY plan...and the only thing you have to count are the Syns. There's lots of recipes, and loads of free, super-free and super-speed foods, and for me there's more than enough to choose from. Whatever you decide on, Good Luck x

Hi everyone.
This is my first post on this site-been lurking for a while! Need to lose weight as have put nearly 3 stone on (its taken a few years!) since I was at my lowest weight (I went very skinny due to having an overactive thyroid). 3 months ago I had my thyroid removed, and am now @ heaviest weight ever (which isn't massive but it is for me!) Can't afford a class, so have dug out my old SW books and hope to get some inspiration and motivation from you guys on this forum.
I'm 5ft 4 and weigh 11 stone 11 pounds (weighed in @ Boots this morning). Saturdays will be my weigh days. Good luck to you all, and I'd appreciate any help/comments. Thanks, Nicola

Hi all,
Decided to do slimming world as I don't want a fad diet that will last a few weeks. Hopefully this will change my food choices for life. Ideally I would like to lose at least 2 stones, found this site a great help already

Hi there , so I am going to be "40" at the end of September. I don't want to be fat @ forty ! I want to be fit @ forty . So here I am again on another path of my fight to lose this weight once and for all !! I want to lose 3 stone . I am on my 3rd week of s/w and have lost 7 lb already doing original days. I am realistic I know that 3 stone - or 2 and a half now in 8 weeks is pushing it but at least I will feel better. Looking forward to using this site :0) x
