Yes. You can.
I dug out 2 of my 3 Slimming World books. Out of curiosity I wanted to see where I am now, weight wise as to where I was then.
The first attempt was 2005.
My starting weight was 19 stone, 1.5 pounds. (267.5 lbs)
I got down to 17 stone, 12 pounds (250 lbs)
Total loss: 1 Stone, 3.5 pounds (17.5 pounds.)
Time to lose 17.5 pounds: 47 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!! (there were a fair few ups and downs of course)
It took me 8 WEEKS from the start to lose my first stone, then a further 16 WEEKS to lose my second!!
The lowest I got through all the ups and downs was 17 Stone, 1.5 pounds then back up 9. pounds before quitting.
The second attempt was probably 2006
Starting weight was 19.5 stone (273 lbs)
I got down to: 17 stone, 4.5 pounds (242.5)
Total loss: 2 stone, 2.5 pounds (30.5 lbs)
Time to lose 30 pounds: 18 weeks!!!!
It took me 7 WEEKS to lose my first stone, then an additional 4 to get the second one gone. Not as bad as the first attempt, but enrollment was only about half the time so I quit before I started back up again.
========================================
Yeah. I think I will stick with LL!!!!! In 4 weeks, I beat my first attempts lowest mark with SW by 7.5 lbs, and am 5 pounds from beating my second attempts mark already!!
I was 281 pounds when I started LL which means I gained 40 pounds from my last attempt with SW!!
I am now 18 Stone, 3 roughly. Which means I am sort of in the middle of each journey on SW, yet I feel so much bigger now! I think our bodies change with each up and down of weight loss.
=========================================
I am not sure there is any point to this, I just found it interesting.
I think I have one more SW book, I am sure I did try three times, will have to keep looking.
