Hi
struggling with my weight, I am a 47 year old woman, I work 4 days a wk I try and do 2-3 fitness classes every wk. I walk my 3 dogs for 20 mins every morning. Eat healthy during the week and not so good at weekends but do walk the dogs for about an hr a day at the weekends. I did try slimming world for 10 months lost 10lbs. I have put 7lbs of that back on. I think I maybe going through my menopause. Anybody else struggling.
Hi and welcome Jaks 
Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you.
Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.
Take a look at the 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate.
We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom on a mobile.
We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too.
It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey
so basically eating plenty of fish, lean meat vegetables. Fruit and salad would be better for me. Is there any diet plans for menopausal women.
I bought a low GI/low GL book and it categorises baked beans as low/low. Surely that means they're okay? or please tell me if I've misunderstood this book lol it wouldn't surprise me!
I'm definitely struggling! But as I'm only 27 hopefully not due to the menopause yet! stick with it as being active is always good for you even if the weight isn't shifting. I don't have an answer for you really but wanted to be supportive - just keep trying and you will get there. Slimming world showed you that your body CAN lose weight, you just have to find the way that works for you to keep it off.
Interesting to know thank you
Hi Jaks, I'm 43 and started SW again in January and have found it seems harder to shift the weight second time around, I have lost half a stone, but a loss is a loss. I have joined a gym and do a combination of cardio and weight resistant workouts. Set realistic goals which I feel help and I feel so much better though, keep going though and hopefully you see the results soon. Good luck. x
Just can't lose weight!
Wanting to lose weight very quickly
