and to Slimming World Support!

You're probably eager to get on with exploring the rest of the board, but first...a few important things you need to know!

You will notice an option to colourise the title of threads...please do not use this. It makes the forums difficult to read if there are loads of different coloured thread titles! The colour modification tool is reserved for Administrators and Moderators only.

As explained in your welcome message, you will first need to post in the New Members section introducing yourself...we're a really friendly bunch and we like to know who we are talking to!

Once your intro thread has been reviewed and approved by an Administrator you will gain access to the main parts of the forum. This is done as quickly as possible but please note that this may take up to 72 hours, so your patience is greatly appreciated.
Can I ask that you first visit the Important Announcements forum and familiarise yourself with the topics that say Important News and Read Me next to them.

Once you have access to the main parts of the forum you can start browsing away! You can get ideas from other member's food diaries and start one of your own if you wish! We have a very dedicated team of Food Diary Monitors who check these and you'll always get constructive feedback!

You can also request a slimming buddy in the Buddy Request forum, many members swear it helps keep them on the straight and narrow! You can have up to 3 members on your buddy thread too!

You can also request your very own Blog in the Members Blogs section...where you can rant away til your heart's content!

You can apply for access to the Recipe Club once you have been a fully active member for 2 weeks and have a minimum of 25 posts. Please don't spam to try and get access more quickly, we take this into account when reviewing applications! You can apply by going to Usergroups at the top of the page and selecting the drop down box for the Recipe Club.

We have a Blinkie Request thread where you can request Blinkies for any weight loss achievements to put in your profile.

On a final, important note...please note that Slimming World do not allow lists of Free Food, Healthy Extras or Syn Values to be posted on any website or forum. You can request syn values of an individual product in the appropriate forum but please limit it to one request per thread. The same applies to any recipes posted (once you have been approved to join this section). Any recipes posted must be of an original creation and not taken from any Slimming World publication. It also goes without saying that the group password should not be posted anywhere on the site at any time! Your co-operation is greatly appreciated.

If you need any help with navigating your way around the board, then please just shout out! We're all here to help!

We look forward to getting to know you!

Good luck from all at Slimming World Support! xxxx
