Hi everyone, i'm new to the forum been lurking for a few months and finally decided to join and give SW another bash after loosing a decent amount of weight a year or so ago and piling all but 3lbs of it back on. I'm halfway through my first week now and am shocked at how well I've been sticking to the plan after a few failed attempts of starting again. I've decided to do SW from home this time and am putting away the weekly fee I would be paying to up to group as then when I do succeed in loosing weight again I can use the cash to treat myself to some new clothes.
Sorry for the long rant! I look forward to meeting anyone else on their SW journey and wish you all the best of luck x

Hi I’m SweatyBetty, and stumbled on this website today, whilst down route. I’ve got the books from Slimming World, as I only attended 1 class ever, and can’t really afford to go to classes or pay online, so have decided to go alone, and with the help of you guys on here!
I and the other half have decided this is the year to look after ourselves, and get fit and loose weight. We started on Monday 9th Jan 2012. when at home I use the wii EA Sports Active 2, and when away from home I use the hotel gyms, doing couch to 5k, and using the cross trainer. Since Monday I have been working out for 40 mins per day.
I’m really trying to get my head round being able to eat so much food on the Extra Easy program. I have been truly stuffing my face, with fruit, salads, potatoes, rice, pasta meats, eggs etc till I’m satisfied, and not quite convinced that I’ll loose weight. It also doesn’t help, that I travel from East to West, and have to cope with different time zones, and sometimes I don’t know where I am lol!!
Only time will tell……
Thanks for reading

Welcome SweatyBetty! It must be a nightmare trying to stick to any diet when you're working in different time zones. The poeple who work shifts on here might have some handy tips for you.
You're very tall
Good luck on your journey x
Thanks Corkscrew, It's not great, and you never get used to it. I did see my height, and have been trying to change it. I'm 5' 4" and can't seen to change my height properly! Did make me laugh though!

Thank you and i'm glad to hear i'm not the only one whose done this. Its rather depressing to think how all that hard work as just gone out of the window. But at the moment i'm more determined then ever before so let's hope I can do even better this time.

I'm sure there are plenty more people on here who have done the same Cheryll. It's v hard to keep going sometimes, and it is depressing when we think about all our previous hard work and achievements having gone out the window........so I don't think about it! lol
Seriously though, it is hard. But if we learn from our past mistakes i'm sure we can muster up some extra determination when we need it. Just come on here, have a scream and a rant. There will always be someone here to support you and help keep you on track

It made me chuckle too
If we were all that tall, we'd be skinny! lol

Hi Folks
I'm Rachel. I joined last January and did pretty well for 6 months and lost 2 stone then it all went belly up. I've put about 10 pounds back on :-(
Anyway, i have been to see my GP today and have been given a GP referral for slimming world, which entitles me to free joining fee and 12 week countdown.
I'm going to use this as my springboard to get me started again. Looking at it sensibly i'd be happy to lose a pound a week, anything is a positive. Ideally i'd love to be 4 or 5 stone lighter by this time next year.
Hopefully starting at group on January 24th when my voucher arrives.
Good luck to all for a fantastic weight loss this coming year

Hi everyone, I have joined SW recently and currently weigh 16st 4lb. I am hoping that SW will help me learn better eating habits and also encourage me to eat a wider variety of food as I eat a very limited diet and am a very fussy eater. I am also 40 years young in May this year so I would really like to be 40 n fit and not 40 n fat xx

Hello!
I'm joining in! I've just stopped breastfeeding and I really want to lose my baby weight. After three big babies I've got quite a bit to lose - around three stone. I've never dieted before (except for a brief flirtation with Weight Watchers which I HATED!) but I'm keen to try Slimming World because it seems to be less dieting and more healthy eating. Any motivational tips or tasty recipes gratefully received!
