Welcome to Newbies 2013 - Say Hello here!!!

[Stebbsy]

Hello everyone.

I'm new here, but not new to SW. Been doing it on and off since 2007. First time I did it I lost 3 stone and got to target and was so happy. Then I got pregnant with my second daughter and it all went back on, and some more!! I have 3 stone to lose again to get me to where I was. I need a lot of help, support and motivation to keep me on the straight and narrow and not give up on it AGAIN. Look forward to chatting with you all xxx

Hi,

Another newbie to the forum here too !

I have also lost with SW before - 3 stone, and managed to put it back on, but am back to try again (and keep it off this time hopefully...)
Looking forward to getting to know you all x

Hello everyone, I had a baby 5 weeks ago and I am re-joining sw tonight. I actually managed to lose 12lbs during my pregancy but I have a long way to go to get rid of all my weight as I was overweight before I got preg! x

Hello - I am new to Minimins - looks good here!

I am just over a week into Slimming World and so far so good. I have also recently had a baby Fulham - well done for losing 12 lb during your pregnancy - you must have a lot of willpower!

look forward to meeting everyone over the weeks and getting rid of those pounds.

Hi There, I'm new too, not used a forum before too but could really do with the support. I've lost 4 lb in the first week, but I've had a sneaky go on the scales this week and my weight is all over the place so not feeling great at the moment. I weigh in on Tuesday night so hopefully it will show a loss by then. I did SW about 1 year ago but only for 6 weeks or so and then I did my back in and got lazy. The doctor has kindly given me 12 weeks free SW vouchers and if I loose 5% I get another 12 weeks so I am determined to loose it now. Its the right time for me. Good luck everyone x

Welcome Bossiegirl, that's great to get the 12wks free, I bet you will easily lose 5% in 12wks xx

hi all
first week of slimming world, doing ok, need to plan more carefully as i went over my 15 syns the first day!!
did better the rest of the week, have eaten more fruit and veg this week and less meat, i love the way you can vary the plans ie do one one day and one the next; i'm on 'original' today!!
i did have a sneaky weigh in yesterday and i've lost two pounds!! whoohoo! go me!

Hi all.
I'm not actually starting my class until next thursday but wanted to get my head in the right place before I start.
I have done SW before very successfully so I'm hoping I will be again.

Hiya everyone.

Just been searching for syn free gravy on the web and i found my way to Mini Mins, i didn't know that there were forums like this for SW members. Had a quick nosey at some threads and just had to join.
I joined SW on sat 31st march, so thats like 5 weeks ago and so far i'v lost 1st 12.5lb. This is not the first time i have joined SW, i have joined many times before but never really put much effort into it and i've just got bigger and bigger over the years.
I know this time is different, this time it feels right. I have a fantasic SW consultant and now i've found this site, how can i go wrong!

Good luck to all my fellow SW members and i hope we're all going to go the full journey together.

Back to the start!

Hi folks - I'm going to try again following the Slimming World plan.
I've done it twice before and did quite well but then got a bit too
confident and thought I could do it myself!! How wrong was I? Now
I'm even heavier than I ever was and my BMI is a shocking almost 39!!!! I
usually work shifts, (I'm a staff nurse working with people with Learning
Disabilities and challenging behaviours) but from Monday 7th May I'll be
on constant night shift for 2 months and hoping that away from the temptations of
takeaways and shared goodies with other staff, I can get a good start on
this time round. I'll set up a weight loss diary and a food diary - any support
or comments will be happily recieved xxx​

Hello there, I'm new to SW (converted from WW). Am in to my 6th week and I have to say it's a bit slow (Easter and May Day BH not helping!!) although I have lost 8.5lbs so reasonably happy with that. Am hoping to shift a bit more before a big holiday to Florida in less than 4 weeks, and then mend the damage when we get back

Hi guys!
I've heard nothing but good things about slimming world, and my mum lost 4st a few years ago when she first started.
So I though I'd give it ago as it's about time I lost the couple of stone I shouldn't be carrying, and as I'm due to get married next year, I can't put it off any longer!
Due to work commitments etc. I'm finding it hard to commit to going to group every week, so I think I am going to try from home. I have a few basic books and some recipe books too. and there is so much infomation on this forum! i think i've got alot of support =)

 

[nicnak]

I dont know where to put this but i hate the new format,it puts me off coming on to be honest

 

[cazzah]
