Hello inspirational folk!
I was a size 12 before I had my daughter, and a size 18 after. My weight hasn't changed much in the 8 years since (my son came along but due to gestational diabetes a strict diet meant I only put on 7lbs and lost that quickly). I tend to start SW, lose a stone, then give up. I'm tired of it. I'm now at serious risk of type ii diabetes, and am fed up of feeling uncomfortable and I want to look like 'me'!
I'm now a standard 18 and really want to be vback to 12/14.
My husband and I are starting SW together on Friday (meal planning a go go til then!)
Some exvellent motivation on here!

Meal planning is the best.... I find if I have fresh veg and salad I'm more determined to cook and use it up than waste it and spend money on a take away.
I find if I dont meal plan then it goes to pot.
After 8 months I've turned my eating habits around.
One treat a day, snack on fruit and cereal bars.
Fill up on main meals and generally get out more so tend to walk to town now and ditch the car
Good luck. You can do it!
I was an 18/20 in January and now a 14bottom and 12 on top. It CAN be done.
Great that your husband is joining you x

See when I read this it gives me great faith - I think it's only 9 months and she's done that much but then my own goals seem to be soooooo slow . But when I think about it in May I was a size 20/22 and now a 16 in most shops. My new jogging bottoms are 14 from Primark. But the actual pounds are really slow to go but obviously my shape is changing. Wow if I can get a stone off by Christmas the dress I have my eye on might be a 14 not a 16. Which would have seemed impossible last Christmas with me in a huge wooly jumper ....

Hi, Im a size 18 currently and hoping to get to a 12. When I started slimmin world in May I was a 22 (wearing 20). Now I am almost a 16 (just another inch or two). It took me over a2 stone to get to an 18. Which, factoring in th fact I was probably a 22 when I started, is over a stone a dress size. Im hoping I lose more inches faster the less I weigh and the more toned I get.

Hiya, I'd like to join you on your quests! I started last oct in a 18. I've lost 2st and I'm comfortably in the 14s but no where near the 12s yet! I still have about 15lb to go I think. I've been at this weight 11st 8 for about 6 months as I seemed to lose focus once I got into a size 14. I'm back on track now and hoping to get into a 12 for Christmas.

Well done! Any tips?

I suppose my main tip is to accept the small failings and get straight back on so it doesn't turn into a big failing, where a yr passes and you're heavier. Thats where I've been going wrong the last 10 yrs! Oh and I had to stay to group or I'd cheat!

Can I join? I was size 28 when I started. 14's are too big now but 12'a a bit tight so I think I'm a 13. I don't understand why I'm not still a 14 as I measured myself again this morning and actually measure 41-32-41 ! Last time I was a 12 the measurements were 36-24-36-36/38 so that shows how many decades ago it was lol !
