Hi, my name is Sheryl and I rejoined SW last month.
It's taken a few goes to find a class which I really feel part of, but I finally found one which turned out to be the one closest to home. The group is great fun and has a good mix of target members as well as some very inspirational people who have achieved great losses so far. I'd like to around 2st before the end of the year if I can. Thank goodness for mini milks (1.5 syns)

Really likes to eat
Hi,
Just joined the forum and am going to 'rejoin' SW on Wednesday. Actually, I'm really new to SW - I joined last month and only went to two classes! Couldn't quite get my head around the diet and didn't like going to class on my own. Only lost 1/2lb in my first week, much to the disappointment of the consultant and I later found out, I wasn't following the plan properly. So am going back next week but to a different class, and this time my mum and two of my sisters are going with me, which is brilliant!
Really looking forward to getting started properly and this site has already been a big help with information on the EE plan. Am feeling much more confident now : )
I have around 2stone to lose, I think. Looking forward to chatting and getting to know you all.

Hello my name is Kay, I joined SW 2 weeks ago, had my first weigh in last week and lost 6.5lb 
...which i was obvioulsy very pleased with.
Ideally I want to lose 5 stone...but have set myself a little target of 1 stone before I go on Holiday in September, so nearly half way there now!
I am following the EE plan with a couple of Green days thrown in here and there.

Hi - I'm new to slimming world - joined last week and have my first weigh in tomorrow - feel really nervous about it ha! This first week has been great though - doesn't feel like I have been on a 'diet' at all - it really does feel like a shift towards a healthy life style. Bit worried about the amount of carbs I have been eating - tried to lose weight by cutting out carbs before sw - it didn't work and I was sooooo bored with the same old meals. Have eaten jacket potatoes, spaghetti, rice, all bran plus loads of fruit and veg (including grapes and melon which i was previously led to believe are too high in sugar to lose weight) cant believe it's all 'free' (am doing extra easy)- if I'm honest slimming world seems abit too good to be true but I shall see at the meeting tomorrow night! This is a great forum by the way, loads of helpful advice So thank you To everyone on here maggie xx

Hi everyone, I'm new to SW and this forum but loving both up to now! I'm hoping to lose 2 and a half stone by Christmas.
I feel exactly the same! I'm new to SW and this forum. I've got my first weigh in tomorrow but feel really nervous as I've been spoilt for choice all week and hardly feel like I've been on a diet! This forum has helped a lot and the recipes on here look so yummy! Fingers crossed for our weigh in tomorrow.

Feel A bit like a noob again. I previously joined but after quitting sw I stopped coming on. However I've now put 2 of the 3 stones I lost back on and have rejoined so I'm back and determined to make better use of the boards this time.
Hi!
Second time on SW lost 3 stone over 3-4 months and kept it off for about a year... Put on a stone recently and looking to lose another 3 stone this year! Just started on Monday! Doing it online this time as I work late and find it hard to get to meetings. Never used a forum for weightloss. I need to lose more than my target overall but find it easier to set baby steps. Trying to lose 2 stone by end of first 3 month subscription. Wish me luck!!!

Hello all,
I started slimming world a couple of months ago. Tried various other diets before but never lasted. I am determined to stick to slimming world although I am not having a good week! Up to now I have been enjoying it and found it quite easy to stick to. I quickly get fed up of counting calories or points and like the superfree/free food approach.

Hi all.. After getting married and letting myself go, I gained 2 1/2 stone in the 3 years I was with my husband.. I've now been separated since January and feel disgusted that I've let myself get this big! I can't afford to join a group or even do it online so my ex sister-in-law has been helping me, but I feel bad about asking her questions all the time..
I'm following the Extra Easy plan, so could you let me know if I'm doing it right so far..
I've been having 2 healthy extra's a day (1 x a and 1 x b).
I've been counting all the following things as free: all fruit, all veg, eggs, pasta, rice, prawns, fish, crab sticks, all lean meat & poultry, lean mince, marmite, weight watchers yogurt, baked beans, spaghetti..
And I've been allowing myself between 5 & 15 syns a day..
I have been following it since Friday and my first weigh in is tomorrow.. I'm hoping I've been doing it right because when I've done SW before there was only ever red or green days, so the thought of being able to eat as many 'green' foods on the same day as as many 'red' foods seems abit alien to me! Unless I've got it wrong somewhere along the line??
Any help or advice would be much appreciated
