Hi there - I've just registered, having used these forums as a great source of info and inspiration for the last couple of months! A workmate talked me into joining SW at the end of June, although I've tried 'clubs' before and not really got on with them. Although I lost 6 stone a few years ago (with the F Plan diet and a lot of exercising), after a major operation I put nearly 3 st back on so I knew I needed to do something about it. Very glad I did, too - I find EE easy to follow and the results speak for themselves - just over 2st off now and a good 2 dress sizes smaller. My first interim target is to lose 3st4lbs by Xmas, and although I thought that was optimistic when I started, I'm getting more confident I'll make it every week. The more I get used to the eating plan, the less I think of it as a diet and it just becomes a normal way of eating, which has to be a good thing for the longer term.
