I'm a newbie too!
I'm Emma, 25, currently living in Manchester but originally from Wigan.
Me and my partner joined together as we could both stand to lose some weight (me more than him!). So I've been on SW for 2 and a half weeks, lost 4lb in my first week, and gained 0.5lb in my second week. I put the gain down to taking large portions of pasta to work for lunch, as I don't usually eat pasta and I don't think it agrees with me in a weight-loss sense.
About 8 years ago I went on Rosemary Conley and lost around 2 stone. The main thing that helped me was keeping a food diary, so I've picked up that habit again.
I left Rosemary Conley when I started university, and quickly but back on what I'd lost (and the rest).
So now here I am, with quite a substantial amount of weight to lose (my initial target is 5.5 stone off what I weighed in the beginning, but I think once I get there I'll want to lose more).
Nice to meet you
hopefully we can help each other to get to where we need to be!
