Hi everyone. Im new to minimins but i have been reading such inspiring stories about everybodys weight loss.
Im 24,married and mummy to isobel. I started gaining weight when i met my husband at 18. I had always been a healthy size for my 5"3 frame up until then. Im now 15st 8lb and have been doing lipotrim for 3 days. Im finding it so hard as im a real foodie. I could do with your inspiring stories. Ideally i need to lose around 6 stone, to be back where i was.

I have my first weigh in on monday and im sohoping its worth it. Iv been trying to drink as much water as i can too. If anybody has any helpful tips please let me know.

Hannah xx

Hello everyone,
As you might guess from my name I am a serial dieter but I am trying to be serious this time. I have about 20lbs to lose. My plan is that this will give me 7lb flexibility over time.
I am doing Slimming world online and currently trying to follow their Extra Easy 100 days book. So lots of healthy real food and I have to say, generally speaking, I don't feel hungry or crave "bad stuff". I'll be ok as long as social pressures don't get in the way.
I look forward to hearing how you're all getting on.

Newbie here on SW and forum!

I joined SW on two weeks ago and lost 3.lbs the first week. I weighed in at 16s 8 lbs( my heaviest!) So I decided to join SW. I managed to lose about 2 stone myself up to late last year by exercising and eating relatively healthy but regained it back after losing motivation and falling back in to old ways.

I have been following the ee plan and not having any syns and expected a bigger loss if I'm being honest! Is it advisable to stay on the ee plan as it incorporates most of the foods I would eat anyway?

Has anyone been exercising as well as following either options? I've invested in fitness dvd, as hoping this will also help and hoping to join gym in the new year. I signed up to the 12 week countdown.

Hope not bored you all and thanks for reading

Hi Mancuniangirl74,
Im new on here 2 but have been attending SW since July.
As far as I know you need to have about 10 syns a day on extra easy and exercise will help too.

Good luck.

Hi! I have been on exante for 9 days now and finding it ok (very hard at w'ends!) I was a little disappointed as I only lost 6lb in the first week (compared to a lot of people losing a lot more) my start weight was 13st. My goal weight is 10st. I turn 30 in December so ideally I wouldlike to have reached my goal by then. Xxx

Hey was resently at the doctors to see about having a BA, but i got knocked back for the surgery as am classed as over weight. I need to lose 20lbs before i can go back and try again. I have tried everything to try and lose this weight but it just doesn't seem to be shifting and it's really getting me down now

. Hoping someone could maybe point me in the right direction.

Hi guys! Just recently joined the forum and wanted to say a quick hi to you all

Personally, I have always been someone who has struggled with their weight. Over the years I’ve yo-yo’ed up and down between wildly different weight measurements.

I've basically come to realise that desserts is my major weak point. So I've joined the forum in the search of some nice healthy dessert recipes! Can anybody recommend any good ones? What recipes do you guys all use?

Cheers

Matt

I have been on my plan since Monday, October 15, and I joined this website about a week before that. I appreciate a place to come ask questions, share experiences, read about other successes, and just keep my behind out of the kitchen. Thank you!
