hello ladies and gents my nae is michelle and i am allmost 24
i started slimming world 4 weeks ago and im loving it. i have in the past tried different diets and allthough i lost a few stone on one i didn't feel it is was for the long term and as the more babies i had i seamed to get bigger
at Christmas i weighed 19st 9lbs i was so upset i had no idea how my size had crepped up so much with out me knowing. i decided with my mum and my sister we would diet between ourselves and join a gym we loved the gym but one thing and another got in the way children having surgery or in hospital and ill or illnesses with our self's between us.
but 4 weeks ago i went to my first meeting and i had lost a stone form Christmas with i was verry pleased with. it took me a few wees to get my head round as you need to read the books a lot i thought.
so just been directed to this sight by my sister. so hear i am.
i have been married 6 years in aug we have had 3 children our first child had disabilities and passed away before she was 2 this in it self didn't help with my weight i got in to the habits of wondering in to the kitchen when i didn't want to think and comfort eating.
my second child is 2+ and our third is 9months.
im looking forwards to chatting to you all and getting some good advice on how to make food and the plan work for me.
thank you

and Michelle

This is a great site and i am sure you will find it really helpful and they are a friendly bunch on here x

Is your mom and sister still on SW with you?

How have you done over the last 4 weeks?

Anyway well done for taking control and deciding to do something about your weight and remember we are all in the same boat on here so your not alone!

x x

and well done on your weight loss so far. I'm sure you'll find this site really supportive and get loads of really useful information to help you on your way.
Good luck!!

I was so so sorry to hear about your daughter. My first son also died and I have now two more gorgeous kids that keep me going but it never goes away does it? And it doesn't help with your weight loss when you're struggling with something so devastating. I found I just didn't care about myself or my appearance anymore, it seemed so unimportant. I'm really glad you've found this site and I'm sure you'll do really well. Give me a shout anytime if you want to talk.

good to see you here.
i know exactly what you mean about the books. The plan is easy but i spent about a month reading the books over and over. even now i make sure i read them often.

weight has a habit of creeping on but is hard to get rid of.
sounds like ur doing well, how have you done since christmas?
lots of people in the same situation as you, so im sure youll get lots of help and support.
good luck.xxx

and to our lovely group...we're a good old friendly bunch who will help you in any way we can.

Congratulations on your babies and I am sorry for the loss of your eldest.

Gaining weight does creep up on most of us, I think its a case of going tinto denial, we convince ourselves that it is ok until we can no longer do or wear what we would like.

for your loss since christmas and well done also for joinging a sw class you will soon get your head round it and this is a fab place to be for any questions or things you want to ask about. If something is niggling you use the search tool at the top and if nothing helps you then ask away

Good Luck with the plan, I am sure you will do great

Hi Michelle,
Sorry to hear about your baby, I have 2 little girls and I can't even imagine what it'd be like to lose them, they are the reason I am so determined to lose weight this time!
We are always here to be a shoulder to cry on or if you need a good kick up the bum to get back on track!
Good luck and Well done so far x

and to our happy group.

First of all, sounds like you have been through a great deal, so it is all credit to you that you have managed to lose a stone already, well done.

You will find in the coming week that access to the other parts of the forum will open up to you, keep posting and chatting with others, you will have full access in no time.
