Hi Everyone!
I'm Karen and this is my first post
I'm a 51 year old with a 20 year old daughter and 9 year old son. I've been struggling to lost weight because of a thyroid condition which is hopefully now under control. I am looking to lose a stone and a half just so that I can fit into my clothes again. I vowed not to go up yet another size! I'm looking at the slimming world diet but unfortunately I'm not a good good and will probably be sticking to the convenience type foods like quorn..but I'm struggling to think what kind of foods I can eat for a packed lunch for work....I'll try and get my head around that and of course all the syn values. Not sure how many syns I'm entitled to each day...I'm 5ft 2 and weigh 11 stone....any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hey folks!!
My name's Aily, I'm 28 and have been having a wee look around the site for the past week (sorry for being a Peeping Tom!) and made the decision to make a big change. You all seem so lovely and motivated and I take great inspiration from all of your accomplishments
I've started Slim & Save and so far - a whole 2 days in - I'm loving it. I've got a LOT to lose but I'm going to use you all as a shining example to make me change things for good. Just wanted to say hello and hope you're all enjoying the beautiful sunshine

Hiya all ,
Im jo im 28 and i never post on forums usually but i figured we're all in the same weight loss boat for whatever reason's and any extra suport i can get, or give can't be a bad thing right?
Im married, and the hubby and i are trying to start a family but we ran into difficulties and turns out i need ivf, to get ivf i need to shift some weight, ive tried diets before but with no real incentive, to start with the best intentions but soon that take away is just to hard to resist then its a fast slippery slope back into old bad habits with me!
So ive joined Slimming World started in August, at 20st12lbs and im down to 19st i did get to 18st7lb but i quit smoking and fell off my diet wagon, it was worth it as ive more energy to exercise which should help loads.
Anyhooo i could ramble on forever, my hubby would agree to that lol good luck all in your diets and speak soon

Hi everyone!
The diet (Slimming World) begins today (again!). I've recently had a baby, not that I can blame him for my weight as I only put on half a stone while pregnant with him, then lost 2 1/2 stone within 3 weeks of having him (pregnancy is my best ever diet) but have put on 11lb in the few months since and need to get that and my original fat off before people start asking if I'm pregnant again! I want to be the active mum I never was with my 10 year old daughter and be able to run around with my baby when he's a bit older, go swimming with my daughter without using her as a human shield so no one can see me (wishful thinking) in my swimming costume and feel better about myself for the first time in years!
Wish me luck!
