Saver-upper creeps back into the room,and quietly takes a chair at the back............

I hope I can re-join you all.I fell off the SWwagon about 18 months ago-I was at target at the time,but was getting a bit bored with the plan (and it was hard work getting my family to try "new" foods ),and we were about to move in with inlaws' for 5 months while our house was being extended.I knew ,with cooking for 2 famlies,SW was never going to work,Christmas was coming up,etc,etc,so I strayed.

I have been telling myself for months that I must get back on plan,and never have.FIrst I would tell myself I would go back to SW,then I told myself I would do it from home,then I determined that I was just going to eat healthily (I really do believe if I did nothing but cut out the rubbish I binge-eat after the kids go to bed,I would lose a couple of stone right there :eek:)

Now,here I am,weighing 2 stone 10lb over my target weight,and ready to do something about it :j:j

I have a very fussy family to feed (OH and eldest not so bad,but 3 younger kids very hard to feed :mad:),but everyone has been told I need to lose this weight .I have a significant birthday in September,and can't bear the thought of still luggin' all this weight around with me then.So imagine their shock this afternoon.when I told them there was salad for lunch,and no sweets in the house for afters .

I do have a meal out tomorrow night,which I think is about my full allowance of syns for the week :eek:,but I must start this journey today-there have been far too many excuses.

Wish me luck.

PS:before posting,I spent about 30 minutes reading back,trying to see where the current challenge finishes,but not sure (could be next week).I would love to join the challenge,thank you shala-moo.

Hello to all :hello:

Is slimming world worth the cost, and is it effective? I'm thinking of joining up locally. I'm not huge, but am fed up sticking to a set amount of calories and losing weight, then just not bothering to stick to a plan.
I've never joined a slimming club before. What are the bonuses for someone who doesn't need to lose loads? Probably about 10 lbs, but will see when I've weighed myself. I've just ordered some new digital scales, so may be in for a shock.
