Hey Everyone,

Well I am kinda an old hand at Slimming World but I seem to loose motivation and enthusiasim rather quickly these days and end up stopping the diet and putting more weight on.....not a good place to be.

I have had a kick up the arse when I met someone online who hasnt seen me for 12 years and 7 stone lighter....when he told me I am still beautiful but have put on weight I knew it was time I got myself sorted out.

So I have jumped back onto Slimming World and have 2 friends who are been very supportive in helping me move forward, although they both return to the UK in 2 weeks so then I am in it alone...I will try to keep motivated by being active on this site and keeping myself busy and enjoying the diet...

So I am 18st 5lb at the moment and aim to be 12st 7lb, then reviewed depending on how I feel......If I loose an average of 2.2lb a week then I will be at target by my 30th birthday

Looking forward to meeting new friends on here

Claire

hi claire
nice to meet you x

Thanks for your welcoming messages guys!

I am still only able to get onto this section of the site but I am now on day 4 and doing well, I have kept to my meal plans, done some exercise and not cheated (which is a miracle for me!!)

I have done 2 green (3rd today) and 1 red but seem to be constipated despite eating at least 5 fruit/veg a day plus lots of water & fruit tea....any ideas?

Well heres to another day and hopefully more lbs lost

hi,
Dita who authorises the new members has been having problems getting online. im sure it should be done soon.
for now just post in here and someone will generally answer.
what type of healthy extras are you having?
get lots of fibre if you can.

, Welcome, you'll get lots of virtual support on here, once you've got access a food diary is a great way to get regular feedback and the monitors are brilliant.

Have you thought about a buddy thread to, I'm sure there will be another member on here from Turkey, or at least somewhere nearby.

and

We do have some members on the on here who live abroad, it seems English foods are expensive overseas but they manage as I am sure you will. So you've taken the biggest step and that is to make a start and use the help and advice from this site, we are sorry for the delay in full access for you but it will be done as soon as possible, meanwhile you can put in a request for a blog of your own so you can let other members know all about you, later you can request a slimming buddy, write your food diary's and post on here for the food diary monitors to check your on the right track. You will be dropping those pounds in no time at all. Good Luck
