Some background.
At my heaviest I was about 14st. I lost 2 stones on scottish slimmers and pretty much stayed put at 12st. Cue wedding I got down to just under 11 St doing slimmers again. La la la marriage for a year and went up to 12st again.
I successfully lost 3 1-2 stones on lighter life and go my goal weight of 9.6. The counselling side of lighter life was a huge turning point. I was maintaining for a few months and had to move back in with my (overweight) parent and weight has crept up to 10.9. My councellor has left lighterlife and there is no groups local. I have never done slimming world, know nothing about it. can anyone give me the gist and if it has worked for them

my son is 18months and for 16months I kept putting my weight down to 'well I have Js had a baby' but after Christmas it was getting me down so joined slimming world thinking 'I Js see if it wrks' ..... 10wks later I am a stoner lighter and feel like I have a new lease on life!!

ur group is the most important thing feeling comfortable to talk about urself and u pick up amazing recipes and food ideas not a only that its fantastic support as well as the ap and website filled with every hint and tip u will ever need,

The 1st few wks is okish ull learn ur syns (u have 15 a day) and work out what foods u love to eat after that u will be flying !! that's of motivational thoughts keep me goin like summer holidays etc .... but what I found most helpful was when I joined I suddenly came across woman in my work place who also do slimming world it was like a secret club I knew nothing about haha....Instagram has really helped as well I follow a lot of ppl who document there journey and again I use Ther food ideas and recipes...

main thing is to understand the books they give u keep reading and soon ull be able to cook a meal without looking how many syns bcoz u will already kno,its a lot of cooking from scratch but tastes amazing...really hope this has helped you its world wonders for me!! Smile Smile Smile good luck with your journey x
