Hello - I'm new.

[lucieislosing]

Hello everyone. My name is Lucie.

On 5th November 2016, after years of yo-yoing I decided I wanted to change my life once and for all, and for the better after falling in love and falling out of depression.

I currently follow the Slimming World diet plan and I have joined here to add some extra tips and hints to my ever growing list and for extra support for myself and to provide for others.

My starting weight was 18st 10lbs. My current weight is 17st 8lbs and my goal weight is 9st 7lbs which puts me in the middle of the healthy weight bracket for my height.

So, to round off, Hello I'm new.

Hello, welcome! You have lost over a stone already, well done!

Thank you Ella!

It's been tough but I'm enjoying my new lifestyle already!

My goal is probably higher than yours. I don't know really. I am 5ft 8, I might feel happy at 12 stone, who knows? I was a teenager when I last weighed that much so I don't know what I will feel like.

Hi 9 and a half stone might be a bit too low for 5' 8''. I am the same height and was that weight in my 20's and 30's but looking back I was quite skinny. I felt a lot healthier when I went up to 10 stone plus.

I am 11 stone 10 now which is the lightest I have been for 20 years but would like to reduce down another stone and a half. I would be happy with that. Having said that I don't feel fat at this weight, just a bit overweight. x

Are you joining a weighin on here? I am on the Saturday group but there is one every day. It's a great way to keep track of your weight and support others too

Hi lucielosing and welcome.

Congratulations on your loss so far, that must make you feel so good. Well done also for sticking at it for this long, you're clearly in it for the long term.

Good luck!

Hello Lucie! Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll find it helpful - not just for advice and recipes (which its great for of course) but also a place to sound off, share the blue days and great days, and just talk diets with people who want to listen (rather than perhaps our housemates who might not!). The feeling that there is always someone here is amazing, I have found it much much supportive than a weekly meeting ever did. Perhaps its partly because its anonymous and we are scattered all over the place, not even just the UK - you can be completely and brutally honest - with all of us, and therefore with yourself. Good luck .

Hi lucieislosing

I am also doing the Slimming World Plan. I have lost over 3 stone so far and find it works brilliantly for me. I joined here to benefit from the moral support that's constantly on offer. Everyone is really nice and share their ups and down, goals, achievements and mishaps. I wish you every success on our journey
