I too am a newbie, have done slimming world before but years ago, when I was still at school actually, before I met my husband and had children, when I met my husband I guess it was sheer contentment, we would go out for meals, get take aways at the weekends enjoy a bottle of wine and the pounds soon crept on, and then when I had my son I put on even more! I'm very determined to loose those lbs and some! I want to feel good about me again. Started yesterday and am doing it from home also, so far so good
