Joining SW tonight, with 2 other friends so that should keep me on track!!
I dont really want to go trying on dresses when im not happy with my weight but in the same sense I dont want to lose it quickly and have to maintain for a year!!!
Looking to lose 21-28lbs Im going to be brave and add my weight to the bottom signature thingy when I get back
Can't keep burying my head in the sand!!! Im much bigger than I want to be, or have been in the past
Wish me luck!!! I hope its easy to understand!

I've been to SW very successfully in the past (lost 2 stone in 11weeks) , stopped going and put it all back on. Rejoined last week as I want to get down to 9st 2lbs (currently 11st) and then maintain it for the 2 years until the wedding. Found that SW is so good because it doesn't feel like a diet. It genuinely just changes the way you think about food and you don't deny yourself anything. Good luck!!

Thank you Sounds like we are around the same weight and want to lose the same amount
I know i can lose it, its the maintaining part i struggle with!!! Im gonna give it a good go though but I would rather lose it slowly

All updated Hoping as you ladies can see the figures, it will spur me on!!
He fellow SW-ers. I've lost nearly a stone. It's taken me a while as I kept having events and stuff that interfered. But I tend to lose 2lb each week. All the birthdays are out of the way now so lost 8lb in the last 3 weeks. So well chuffed with that. It has changed my eating habits so much. I cook now rather than microwave meals, I eat a lot more veg and fruit. It was tough getting past the choc and cake cravings but they have gone now and appetite has changed. Tried WW and SW in the past and this time it's really clicked for me. Good luck ladies.

hi there, i joined slimming world 4 weeks ago, at the same weight 11stone 2lb. my wedding is october 2013 so we're looking to lose about the same amount of weight in about the same timescale. i hope we can spur each other on. i'll try and add a tag too, not sure how to do that. i'm down to 10stone 10lb now so it's coming off 1lb at a time, which for me i think will be the best way to maintain it. i've just made some super speed food soup to try and give myself a little boost. by the way - don't ever try the scan bran challenge - my guts have been in agony for days now! haha. good luck, look forward to sharing recipe ideas and following your wedding journey xx

3lbs is ok for a first week, by the time you hit your target you will have changed your lifestyle and habits so you should be able to maintain xx

You know what worked for me when I lost weight? ...................whenever I reached for crisps, chocolate or biscuits or anything else unhealthy such as chips etc. ......................I just looked at them and imagined two things, me as a size 8 or me being obese! Started putting me off putting anything "bad" passed my lips! xx

Also think clogged arteries and diabeties ................that's enough to put most people off I think, well worked for me anyway, apart from don't allow it to become an obsession, it can consume your life (speaking from experience) and that itself can be unhealthy ..............sorry, thought I'd better give some balanced advice xx

Stayed the same. Haven't had a brilliant week. Had a 3 course dinner on sun :/ nibbles at work on mon cause didn't have time for a break, and had sandwiches when I got in from work on mon and tue when I shouldn't have. Walked 5.5 miles yesterday but nothing. Oh well. Not going next week as I'm on a course. But I promise you all I will lose 4lb when I go in 2 weeks time :D
