I'm an hour and a half away from joining SW and I'm really nervous.

I only have about 15lbs I want to lose but it's really affecting my self confidence- I'm 5'2 and have just hit 10stone which was always the point I said I'd take some sort of action (I come from a family of lovely but overweight women- I'm desperate to beat the genetics).

Please reassure me they'll be lovely!!??

People there are like people everywhere else ,some are friendly some arn't. The Reps arn't very bright. Lots of silly clapping

I've never dieted before and have lost a stone in 2 months with SW. I hope you went, getting through the door is the hardest thing.

Also 5.2 but just under 11 stone now 😱 aiming for under 10.

Their advice isn't very refined but the weekly weigh in has worked for me. Lots of veg with everything, reducing carb portions including pasta which is allegedly fine according to SW and being really mindful about what I'm choosing to eat, so I'll have a mini magnum sometimes, and really savour it, rather than snacking while I'm working and it not even register.
