Hello I'm new

[Jaffa Cake]

Hi everyone I'm new yet old to Minimins. I used to post years ago when I started my SW journey but fell out of habit.
I am now at target and maintaining but like everyone could do with support ideas and new recipes !
I do go to group still even though I have been at target a year.
I am also toying with re setting my target another 4-7lbs down.
I turn 40 in a few months and my husband is taking me to New York so ideally I want to be at my lower end of target rather then exactly at target.
For health reasons I struggle to lose weight quickly so I will just plod on.
I hope to contribute a lot more then I used to !

Welcome back! It's lovely seeing target members. It helps to motivate me knowing that people reach it.

Hope you have a nice time on holiday! I'm jealous!!

Welcome back and well done for maintaining an inspiration to us all still on the long path

Thank you for the welcome. We don't go away until September so I have a while yet.
I forgot to say I lost two stone in probably 2 years and had my 3 year anniversary of going to sw meetings the other week.
I stay to class most weeks and it is so important to me to do that as I know I would go off the rails otherwise

Congrats Jaffa Cake...on being a target member. I still go weekly to my group or I'd be on a slippery slope!!
How wonderful to have a trip to NY to look forward to for your birthday.
I have an underactive thyroid and weight loss isn't easy for me...I actually set my target a little higher than I had been a few years ago. I reasoned that I was over a certain age and maybe I shouldn't put myself under stress to be so low. I like the 6lbs leeway that target gives us.

:welcome:Sophie...hope you enjoyed yourself this evening.
And a trip to NY!!!....nice, it's good to have a goal to work towards.

Amazing that you're a target member well done! I've got a couple of stone to get off yet but I'm a slow loser too - welcome back! xx

Hi there
I am also new! I used to belong to slimming world in the UK and got to target. Then moved to Canada with my husband and there are no groups here. I could join online but it is not the same as group so hope that I can get some encouragement here? I hope you enjoy your trip to New York it sounds fab!!!
