Hi there,
I'm doing SW from home as well. I have been to group in the past, and may rejoin if I feel I need to, but for the moment have fished out my books and am going to try and do it myself. When I first started SW I went to a brilliant group with an amazing consultant. She had lost over 10st, look brilliant and was so passionate about helping us. We have moved since then though and I have been to a couple of different groups. Both were fine in their own way, but never as motivational as that first one. I also find that if I have to miss a meeting, which I sometimes do because of work and/or childcare arrangements I struggle to stay on track. I think weighing in at home and sharing it with you lovely people on here may work better for me.
Anyway, lets see how it goes. Good luck everyone!

Hello all
I am new round here too. Have dabbled with SW in the past using info given to me by a family member, I then joined on line but couldn't motivate myself - guess it wasn't right for me at the time in spite of having at least 3 stone to lose!
I now have at least 4 stone to lose and am having major surgery in 23 days- I don't make things easy for myself that's for sure!!!
Anyway I need to lose some weight before my op so that I can be as good as shape as possible and I really would like to keep on track during my 6 weeks recovery .
I am looking here for support as we don't have SW where I live ( not UK) and found the on line option hugely expensive with no built in support unlike the meetings ( although from reading the forum it seems that's a bit hit and miss !!)
I weighed in today at 17 stone ( I am big boned ;-) lol. But its all good .
Looking forward to 'chatting ' with you all

Hi all. Hope you don't mind me posting in here 
I am starting slimming world again tomorrow, but will be doing it from home as I cannot justify the cost of the group as I only used to go for the weigh in and never stayed to the group!
I plan on weighing myself weekly at boots on a Saturday morning. I weighed myself today there, and at 10 stone 10 I was quite shocked. When I started slimming world last time round I was 10 stone, so have gained it all back plus 10lbs.
I did my food shop today and have been very strict, no naughty things that can tempt me and have made up a batch of tuna pasta salad for work lunches.
At the moment I feel very determined to do this, but I'm sure I'll have my wobbly moments where I want to cave in so I'm hoping you guys can help me stay on track! My aim is to get down to 8 stone 6lbs, by my holiday in June.
Sorry for the rambling!

I think because you can get so much support on here, then you don't need to pay £5 a week to go to the group. I think I have got the motivation I need as ive got a date that I need to do it by, and it's a realistic goal!

Ive joined groups in the past but a new year means fresh ideas for me, I thought as I'm an old hand at slimming world i would try doing it from home and put the £5 each week into a jar to help towards the new clothes costs when my success shows, optimistic at least!!

That is a great idea Kimmykins - I think I'll start doing that as well!

Hi all, I used to go to group and I do enjoy going but my hubbie bn made redundant and £5 a week is extra food shopping money or petrol so I've stopped going. I wanted to start the gym or some exercise class but that's off till he is sorted. So not to be put off I am going to do sw from home and today I have started jogging. I do loose motivation quite quickly so hope to keep it up here and looking forward to getting to know you all c

Hi sinead, there's a thread called "post your Xmas gain" on here which, although it has been criticised on other diet threads, i found it comforting to know ur not alone! I'm sorry I can't link u as I'm on my phone. The average gain looks about 5lbs gain over the festive period... I find out the damage today! Good luck!!
