Welcome to Newbies 2013 - Say Hello here!!!

New to this site and slimming world

Hi everyone

I've already introduced myself elsewhere (not sure where as still a bit confused by the different boards/threads).

Anyway, I'm 56 and sick of struggling to diet. I've been a member of ww a few times and lost a little here and there but think sw looks so much easier. I plan on joining on Wednesday morning.

I've had a bad year health wise, heart attack and stent and diagnosed sub clinically hypothyroid. I need to take myself in hand and lose weight and exercise more. Does anyone else pay for the gym and never go!

I'm looking forward to visiting you all and it'll be great to have an easily searchable reference site.

Jane

Hi all. I joined this site sometime last year and didn't really give it a go so I have decided this is it and I am going to try it 100%.

Today is my second day

I am looking forward to finding some new recipes and ideas

Hello!

Hello there
I'm Hannah, just rejoined SW last night, needing some support!
I lose weight quickly when I stick to plan, but then get too brave and try and do it myself, which inevitably fails because I always end up rejoining!
But this time it will be different!
I've got about 30lbs to lose, which sounds horrible
I live with my lovely boyfriend who eats like a horse, and as such probably isn't going to be much help with sticking to plan, but I intend to cook and eat what I make.
I look forward to getting to know some of you guys!

Good luck fellow newbies!! I'm still full of motivation at the moment... wonder how long that will last!?? But I am determined to stick to it and finally get the weight off (and keep it off)

Hi Hannah, i'm Cheryl and have exactly the same problem as you I also live with my boyfriend who eats whatever he wants and is in fact losing weight rather then gaining as I have since I moved in just under a year ago. I wish you lots of luck on your journey x

Hi there, I'm not new to the site but I am new to Slimming World. I was on Atkins before but, although I lost weight, I lacked the willpower to keep to the restrictions!
I noticed that there were loads of SW people on here, and then fortuitously met a bloke in a pub who had lost 8st in a year on SW so I thought I'd go along! Very nice people and hopefully I'll stick to this, what with actually meeting people/going along in real life!

 

[Pauline50]

Hi all
Like many on here been through a bit of a rough ride lately and comfort ate but now I'm trying to take control of my life back. Started with a drastic new hair cut on Saturday and joining slimming world on Thursday as I want to lose weight ready for my daughter's wedding in April which is taking place in Cuba, so beach body needed for our two week holiday there.
Good luck to everyone and fingers crossed we all succeed with our aims.

Hello everyone! :flowers:

I did SW a little while ago but went through hard times and quit, I'm doing the plan from home now and am going to save the £5 I would have spent on the group every week to treat myself every now and then.

I'm only 18 but I've been overweight my whole life! This might sound pathetic but i only just started dating so that should be motivation enough...

I'm also really interested in the effects a decent diet can have on your mental health, if anyone has any stories about weight loss and clean eating improving your mood I would love to hear them.

Good luck everyone! I know we can do it! :bighug:

Hi All!

I joined SW last night (God, I was petrified walking in on my own) but i did it My SW plan officially starts tomorrow as i needed some time to get my head around everything and to plan a few meals to start myself off with..stumbled on this site looking for recipes and meal ideas- think i'm going to love reading the diaries!

Im only 20yo but have a good 5/6 stone which i would like to loose, must get my profile info filled in tomorrow!

H'okay
I posted in here a couple of weeks ago when I was just about to rejoin at my local group, that didn't happen due to unforseen circumstances and I've been a booze swigging, junk food munching monster since.

I'm going back to rejoin in the morning for definite and although I'm terrified, I'm completely there now, totally in the zone and I'm going to do it this time.
