Hi everyone i have decided to start the slimming world plan as i would like to lose 2 stone. I am currently on some medication and one of the side effects is increased appetite. I want to eat more healthily and the slimming world plan is great as you can eat quite a bit each day with plenty of free foods. I followed this plan many years ago and it worked well for me. I tried at the beginning of the year to follow the plan at home but it only lasted a few weeks.

I am seriously considering joining our local slimming world group. The only problem i have is that i suffer from anxiety and don't know how i will be going along to a group meeting. I need to join though to get the latest books as i think it has changed since i last went.

I look forward to reading the posts on this site, it is very inspirational to read others stories and comments.

Sharon

Hi Sharon!

It's a really great group here, lots of support and always someone about to point you in the right direction, I love it! I haven't joined a group as I don't have time, but I'm getting so much support on here I really don't feel the need to!

What about the manuals/books? Can you buy them without going to group?

Hi Sharon

to the forum and its lovely to meet you.

Although you will get lots of support from here, it might well be worth you going to that very first meeting if only to get a up to date optimising book. You can get them off ebay and the likes but you tend to pay way over the top for them.

Do you have a friend that would maybe go with you just for that very first meeting? Your not obliged to keep going after that if you feel you can't cope with it. You never know this might be the stepping stone to ease some of that anxiety and it could mean you make a lot of friends at the group too.

If you go and start getting anxious, you can always walk back out that door again..Remember you are in control, just get your optimising book first Very Happy

Whatever you decide to do rest assured you will get so much support from everyone on here to support you during your Slimming World Journey.

Good luck hunny and just fire away if you have any questions

Make yourself at home

Janey xx

Sharon and welcometogroup

Great advice from Janey there. There's always the option to do the plan online if you find it difficult to get to class too.

Good luck with your weight loss hunny, any questions just fire away! xx
