Hello
I am new to this. Have been browsing on my I phone for a few days. Not sure how to use it as it won't let me set up profile from phone. I also have 6 stone to loose and it seems such a long road. I have list a stone do far and have 12 months to loose the other 6. I am on slimming world/low fat adaptation. I find it difficult to get to classes so using books from 2 years ago. I know I will need continued support and ideas and this looks the place to be.

Hi Heidi,
'ONLY' 1 stone in 5 weeks. Blimey - that's brilliant. Everyone here loses at different rates. Some have very fast losses (particularly the men) but others have much slower losses. Some lose fast at the beginning then slow down, others the other way round. However if you stick to it, you will lose.
I would try to follow the plan to the full although there is no doubt that because SW isn't a precise science there is a danger that if you try and tweak it that eventually you get further and further away from it's intended. However if you're losing at a good rate (which you ARE) then that's the main thing.
Good luck and well done so far.

I know it seems like a long hard journey (because I started there too) but I would recommend dividing it into little chunks and just aiming for those (eg each half stone). I never looked (and still don't) at the total amount I had to lose (although I was aware of it) but suddenly it's nowhere near as much 
. My next target is 4.5 stone which I'm likely to get close to this week and I'm already starting to think about getting to 5 stone, but I'm not thinking much further than that yet.
A food diary is a really good idea - when I do one, I usually find that I'm eating towards the higher range of syns (around 12-15 per day) whereas I sometimes think I'm in the lower range !
In my opinion, the MOST important thing is that you don't feel deprived (obviously occasionally you will but you can't have everything !) because if you feel deprived you are less likely to stick to it and therefore less likely to lose. So eat what you fancy on plan and you will do well.
Good luck.

Weigh in tomorrow, panic!!! Tuesday seems to last forever until weigh in time, not helped by the fact that the kids are at home either. Took them all for a walk in our forest park today so they came home nicely exhausted but filthy from head to toe! And tempted to throw them all in the shower with the dog as she has gone from being brown and white and just well....brown!
Anyway on plan today did run earlier 10k in 70 mins so i can now sit down and 'veg out' in front of biggest loser uk (altho its not a patch on the us one in my humble opnion!)
