So I've just been to my first SW meeting and have more to lose than I thought, 5st 3.5 to be precise.
I have to do this, I owe it to myself & my dd but it's going to be a long haul.
So please give me some hope and share your successes here

It certainly can be done, my friend has lost 5st so far and still has a bit to go. SW is a great way to do it, I lost 2st with them and have managed to keep most of it off
Good luck

A lady in my group has lost 7 stone in a year. It has been amazing to watch her shrink! Five stone, at an average of 7lbs a month? You could be there by October, probably much sooner. You could very easily lose your first stone in six weeks and then it tends to slow down a bit. But stick with it and you'll definitely get there.
Good luck.

Loads of women I work with have lost weight with Slimming World. It's the only diet I've seen anyone do where they keep the weight off long term/permanently. It's not a diet, because they're always bloody eating 
it's changing your eating habits for life.

7 stone in a year is amazing and well beyond my wildest dreams. I think I will be taking the scenic route but I need to stay on board and not getting off at each stop and disappearing which is my usual game plan (hence why I am 5 stone heavier than I want to be). I admitted to one of my work colleagues how much I weighed today and I was mortified. Hopefully this feeling of mortification will stay with me!
