New to sw - anyone else joining in the new year?

[LittleNoona]

Well.

After a very embarrassing 20 minutes on dd's new just dance game on the xbox one (which recorded my pathetic attempt and played it back to me ) I was gasping for breath and completely aghast at the size I have reached.

I have text my nearest slimming world consultant and will be going to my first weigh in on Jan 6th.

I'm stunned at how bloody fat I am - really really upset with myself.

kansasmum I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost mine suddenly in July and have been a basket case since. Determined to put a bit of discipline on myself now and lose 2 st to get down to my wedding weight (only 2 and a half years ago, no babies to blame it on - only myself )...

Congratulations on your baby layter.

I'm OnlySeven on myfitnesspal btw. There's a huge group of us on another weight loss thread trying to lose 52lbs in 52 weeks.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to start SW on Jan 2nd. I have about 3 stone of baby weight to lose. Previously lost six stone on WW but I hate the pro points plan so I thought I would give SW a go instead.

Feeling really down about my weight now so I hope it works!

I'm back at SW next week I let slip over the festivities after loosing 3st over the past year so need a bit of a kick start I think,this week in Woman magazine there is a free membership voucher so you only need to pay for the class not the joining fee.Good luck & enjoy.

Thanks Glammanana! Will but a copy of woman ASAP! Well done on your loss so far - amazing

LittleNoona I think I made the mistake of not continuing to go once I got to my target weight through sheer laziness,I needed to loose the weight for my DS2s wedding so had the incentive I think I will find a photo of myself prior to the weight lose and pin it on my wardrobe to keep me motivated.

Am joining on Saturday - First time too. I am looking to lose 3 stone, I lost 4 stone in 2012 and put on 2 stone again in the last 6 months so I really need to find something to stick too.

Lots of my friends have lost weight with SW so me and my 17 yr old son are going to try this one :)

Well done for taking the first step - you won't regret it! I joined in April and have lost 5 stone 3lbs so far - in just 8 months! I've put on a pound or 2 over Christmas but I'm pretty sure I can lose it again before the next weigh in on the 7th.

Good luck to everyone on this thread. Feel free to ask me any questions, I'll do my best to answer .

Right, I have my copy of Woman, my DH is on the late shift tomorrow so I can go a week earlier than we thought :) good luck everyone!!

Glammanana - I have a video on the xbox, very unflattering angle, flab in full swing! I think that should keep me motivated!

Everything - so your starting tomorrow? Do come back and post your weight (don't worry, it won't be as bad as mine!) and update us on how your first class went - good luck!

I will tell you now, I was weighed today at the hospital. I'm 96.6 kg (I was 94 before Xmas ) I think that's about 15 st 2lb, I'm 5ft 9in so my bmi is 31 (ish) my aim is to lose 2.5 stone.

Oh and please call me Boo :) who else is starting tomorrow?

Hi
I started on the 19 december!

I am soooooo much happier already. Lost 2lbs over christmas week.

But most importantly all my tummy ackes have stopped and I feel full of energy!

Really glad I took this step! I find this diet very easy!

I stocked up on mushy peas, spaghetty hoops, smoked salmon, muller yoghurts etc

Please go to that first meeting!!!!

Tomorrow is my first proper meeting as one week before christmas I was the only member and consultant only gave me books.

Just come back from my first meeting, it all seems simple enough in theory lovely people there and 3 new starters with me :) and as a bonus their scales say I'm 1.5lb lighter than the hospital so that was in nice bonus :)

Hi,
I join at 9.30am Saturday morning!!
Fingers crossed x

Hi all! I joined slimming world 8 weeks ago. After the birth of my little one who is now 17 weeks old i was so shocked at the amount of weight id put on. Ive lost 16lbs so far !! Good luck everyone starting it xx

boo it is as simple as it seems so far, its a diet where you can eat carbs!

Well done Madison and good luck Leece!

I'm going to be taking photos of myself in my underwear, front, side and back and using them for added inspiration. I'm thinking of posting them online and charting my progress through pictures too - I think it will keep me motivated.

Will set up a private Instagram so if anyone wants to join let me know your Instagram name

Yay yay I was slimmer of the week!

After only two weeks I feel so much better with more energy and happiness and all my chronically tummy acke is gone!

Well done on being Slimmer of the Week Jaabaar .

Well I went to my first meeting tonight! I was so ashamed of my weigh-in weight!

Argh! My heaviest weight ever! (and I hadn't had dinner yet! )

My BMI is 26.8 and I'm hoping to lose 39.5 lbs...

Have a lot of reading to do to get my head around the programme...

Jaabaar well done!
