Hi All! Ok, I am defecting from Slimming World as it just doesn't seem to be working for me I was on WW last year and managed to lose 2 stone after I had my DS, but somehow managed to gain a stone of that over the following months. Unfortunately, I cannot go to a meeting as most of them are in the evening and I work evenings Monday to Friday, so that is really not very helpful. I am going to try and go it alone so any encouragement you can give me will be much appreciated! I want to lose a stone by Chrimbo and then another stone (at least) by May next year - can I do it????

Tes, it is 10 weeks to Xmas, so, if you average 1.5lbs a week, you will have more than done it. Which plan are you going to do?

'Yes' even!

Am going on points. I am ashamed to say I am allowed 24 points! Thats loads! I think that works quite well for me. Have discovered a morning meeting on a Wednesday but that could be difficult because its 10am and it means I would be knackered because I don't get home from work til 11.30pm and I would also have to take DS with me as well, and not sure how well behaved he would be I have just started getting into exercise. I dug out my Lateral Thigh Trainer but have managed to break it (the second one in a year) so I am going out to buy myself a cheap old stepping machine at the weekend and hope that helps me too. I do enjoy exercise, its just whether DS let me!! Do you go to a meeting?

Have just re-joined WW...lost 2 stone after DS born last July, was happy for a while but now really want to shift final stone..again before xmas.

when i was on mat leave went to am meeting and took DS with me - don't worry....our leader was happy for him to crawl about and make noise!! there were quite a few other new mums there as well so was nice!

i started out doing the davina 3 workout DVD's before i got my confidence back to go to the gym (Too many gym bunnies out the gym!!)

Hi Lucy! My problem is that DS is no longer at the crawling stage - he is running everywhere!! I am sure he will be fine and I could probably sit him in his buggy whilst I get weighed etc. I am gonna try and do it for a couple of weeks first and see how motivated I stay. My DH is sworn to give me plenty of encouragement. I have both Davina DVDs at home but struggle to find the time (and space!) to do them as DS always under my feet these days, so I thought I would get myself a step machine which DS can't get in the way of and see how I go, 30 mins a day should help.
