Hi, I'm Shaun. I started Slimming World 2 weeks a go and weigh in on Wednesdays. It's my first time trying the "diet" and I've lost 10.5lb in my first two weeks 
I'm a big lad (over 24 stone when I started). I'm looking to lose about 9 stone and I'm hoping with support from my group and this forum I can do it.

Hello everyone!
I have rejoined SW for the third time now. I did it back in the red/green days in 2003, lost a little over a stone, don't remember why I stopped going. Then in 2011 I lost nearly 3 stone, went away for a week to Florida and put on a few pounds and was too embarrassed to go back again.
And now I'm back again. I had been tempted to try WW, but SW works, it's worked for me both times before so I decided to return. I started again on 31/10, and so far have lost 9.5lb (including a massive 8.5lb off in my first week) and am determined to get to at least my first stone by Christmas!

Wow! Good luck to you! There's something to definitely inspire and encourage you then. Welcome to this forum. It was a brilliant day, the day I discovered Mini's. Everyone is so lovely and, as you can see, there's lots of advice, loads of recipes and, best of all, truckloads of support so good luck.

Hi Everyone,
Started SW 24th November so very new - have put on weight since going back to work f/time. Would like to get back to post-baby weight; pushing a double pushchair obviously burned more calories than sitting at office desk! I love all the great tips everyone has to offer hopefully I will be picking some up and also thinking some of my own!!!
I take a packed lunch with me in the day. My preferred mid-afternoon Syn is a Kit Kat <3

Hello I'm new my name is Louisa, I have 3 girls. I have a chronic pain condition and a neuro condition, which is my brain attacking the pain condition and making things completely worse lol,
I have been doing Slimming World for a while, I took a break after I lost almost 3 stone, because I moved and now I have put back on a stone so back to Slimming World with new determination.
I take a lot of medication and one of which is well known for causing people to put on weight, also the Chronic pain condition puts the body in a state of crisis so it stores fat if not fed regularly, this I know is true if I skip a meal for 2 days no matter how good I am I will gain so I have a condition which makes every aspect of life painful, I have 3 children and I HAVE to eat 3 meals a day pfft lol
Hoping to weigh tonight, I missed my usual weigh in on tuesday due to A's Hospital Apointment but not sure if I will as A is very poorly

Hi there I have joined slimming world and am determined to lose 2 pounds in my first week ! Hope I can. I have done weigt watchers in the past and lost 33 lbs on it so I'm finding it difficult to go from counting points to the extra easy plan!! This is why I joined minimums, Just trying to seek advice and educate myself more on SW.
High hopes

Hey folks
I quit smoking back in February '11 and decided this year and the next will be when I finally take on my ever expanding waistline.
I joined Slimming World on 11/11/13 and have lost 18lb so far and to say i'm pleased is an understatement!

Hi everyone, hope you are all well. Well I've been on a rollercoaster with my weight since I was a teen and then was told I had PCOS so it would be harder to lose weight. Finally about 4 years ago I began classes to lose weight, I managed to lose 2 stone but only kept 1 off in the long term. After trying every class out there my aunt told me about slimming world and gave me a book. For one week I tried it on my own and lost 4lbs so I signed up the week after with my younger sister. Week 2 I was down 5lbs. It's amazing, I was counting and pointing for so long I couldn't believe the amount of food I was allowed. With christmas parties and all the rest it'll be interesting to see the scales Tuesday but I live in hope . Still getting my barings on everything but will be happy to help anyone if they need:26:
