Thinking of going back

6 years ago i started slimming world and lost a stone and half and felt amazing!!!

Kept it off for a good 3 years then had another baby.

Now sitting at 13 stone 6 (5ft9) and grossly unhappy, ive tried calorie counting but its so bloody slow and after counting 1600 calories religiously ive lost NOTHING.

Anyways moving on im thinking of going back to group, i loved slimming world i really did and it worked amazing for me but having to plan and pre make everything feels like such a task, i work full time with 3 kids, 2 of them are in competitive sports which means they train 17 hours a week so we dont sit down till 9pm.

Anyways i know its all excuses so just looking for peoples inspiration really, i assume it hasnt changed much since 2018 and i probably need to go back to group fr the accountability factor aswel.

Would absolutely love to lose 2 stone by the end of June, do we think thats achievable.

Definitely achievable.

SW works for me as calorie counting is never accurate when I do it.

Do you drink alcohol?

I barely drink, maybe 5 times a year.

I went back in January. Calorie counting does work for me but I just don't have the time to weigh and track every single ingredient that I use! I find the SW rules really easy to follow. Lots of free snacks that you can have if you're busy!

I have done slimming world many times over the years. I went back in January and have lost 13.5 pounds so far. I already feel so much better, even though I have about another 7 stone to loose. Do it.
