How slowly or quickly you lose the weight depends on a variety of factors really, I'm hearing a lot of "as long as it's going in the right direction" in the thread and completely agree.
I know that people have commented on how much I have personally lost over such a short time but I was quite big when I joined SW so it is pretty natural for it to come off more rapidly in the earlier stages and then slow down.
It takes as long as it takes ultimately, if you try to stick to the plan as best you can then you are pretty much onto a winner, the skills you learn here are all about looking after yourself.
I regret not joining slimming world sooner but I tried other diets and strategies first before deciding to take the plunge here.
Taking the scale-reading out of your hands and to someone else is one of the main reasons I go to group, that and the fact that people are congratulated on losses and those who gain can obtain tips from people at the guidance of the consultant.
Having a bad week and still going to group takes courage and group is a great way to be dusted off and popped back on track. A food diary and an SAS plan to see if you are unwittingly sabotaging your own slimming can be handy, especially with a consultant to give you an objective opinion on things where you may need to make a minor change is very handy.
I admire anyone who can have the discipline to do it online but I feel I would cheat myself!
