Hi I am a type 1 diabetic and I am following Slimming World Weightloss programme. I have been attending weekly meetings since September 2016, I have lost a total of 1stone 2lbs but I have a long way to go! I've joined this programme to hopefully get support and ideas to boost my weightloss.

Absolutely brilliant to lose 1st 2lbs, well done!

Thank you, not sure how this site works! Do people put up meal plans? How much have you lost?

[blackbeauty99 in reply to Enneiviv]

You will soon get use to the site. There is so much going on with the different activities.

I have lost 2 stone altogether. Beside peoples names there is a badge stating how much people have lost.

Hi and welcome, Enneiviv

Well done for already losing a stone, that's fantastic!

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), or in the drop down on the 'Posts' page (it says 'arrange by'). 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 NHS 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the NHS 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.

To the right of the HOME page (bottom on a mobile), you'll find Events. In there, you'll find links to our daily Weigh-in's (you will choose just one day per week), our Daily Diary, where we post our menu and exercise plans, for accountability, advice and support and our “What's happening today” thread, where we pop in for a chat.

Be aware, that the HU app doesn't give you access to all of our important features, so we advise that you use the full website page.

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

I am doing the Slimming World Healthy Eating programme as well, Enneiviv. It is the best one for me.

I seem to lose one week then put on the next, my weight is unstable so I'm hoping this will run along side Slimming World.
