Welcome to Newbies 2013 - Say Hello here!!!

Welcome Andy! I'm new too - in my second week of the plan and it's going well. This site is a godsend for me as I can't go to group and I find that on days when I'm having major cravings then a quick look on this site puts me back in focus! Here's to shifting that weight

Thanks Tash - I agree this site is great as there is so much info and support available. I don't go to group either but that's just because it doesn't really fit in with work and it's not really my kind of thing, tbh! Hope your weight loss goes well too

Hi I'm Lynne, starting Slimming world next week. Going to join online this time, tried SW before on my own but lost motivation after i got pregnant again so need to start all over. Have 5 and a half stone to lose and thought this forum would be a great place to find some inspiration! x

Hi all, my names Lee and started SW end of Feb. Bit daunting as not many males there but soon felt very welcome. Have lost 1 stone and half a pound so far so working for me. Have started swimming, cycling and got a cross trainer so that helps a lot. Hope to find some good family recipes on the forum so don't have to have different meals for the family.

Hiya

My names Elspeth and I've subscribed to Slimming World online. I've been a club member twice before but as I'm a nurse, and on shifts (working with people with learning disabilities) it was not always possible for me to make the classes in my area! So, the thinking this time round is if I've paid up front I'll use the online tools,get brilliant support here and if I cheat at all then I'm only cheating on myself and wasting my money! Be nice to hear from any one else in a similar situation

hope to speak soon

Elspeth xx

Hi, I'm new here, loving the forums, I'm enjoying finding my way around!

I re-joined Slimming World last month but haven't started as well as I'd have liked, although, as has been pointed out, a loss is a loss! My first target is to get below 20 stone, no time-scale, but ideally this year.

I've got around 12 stone to lose, so I think I might be around for some time, lol, and I just wanted to say hi to everyone. xxxx

Hey guys, I like to pop in every now and then and say hi to you all. Welcome aboard, I hope you have a great time searching the boards and finding out really useful advice on syn values, recipes, plans or just to generally chat or get stuff off of your chest. They're a great bunch here and always willing to help. I always personally recommend looking at the before, during and after photos some have posted. Be warned, you may lose yourself for an hour or two but if that doesn't motivate you, I really don't know what would, they are totally inspirational. Good luck on your journey everyone

 

[Hippopotamum]

Thanks Jeanne, everyone seems so lovely! I've been having a sneaky look at those before and after pictures, such an inspiration! I'm going back to get motivated even more...

Hello.... IM NEW! I can't quite get over how much I'm allowed to eat...! My problem has always been portion control and over eating..... Can I really lose weight with Slimming World having large portions as long as I stick to the free foods etc? I'm jst not used to being allowed to eat pasta and potatoes etc... Xxxx

 

[superslim1972]

i am hoping to get back to my pre kids weight too! i got down to 10st 10lbs at my lowest but now i am back at 13st 1lbs (just hope official weigh in doesn't say more!) xx

 

[elsmar30]

Hey guys - I'm sure we can all get to targets if we stick to the plan. I've stuck to EE for the last 2 weeks but am thinking of changing back to green/original days - I seem more able to make better choices and stick to them - I'm struggling to get my head round the amount needed of superfree foods -

 

[superslim1972]

Just told my hubby about doing sw again why don't men understand B-)
