    Hi. Well done on your weight loss so far. I'm just off to docs at 9 for my second weigh in. Hopefully have lost some. Finding it a bit hard at moment as when looking for foods it's hard to find a low carb (insulin dependant) food which has low fat. Will report bk when finished at docs. Good luck with your weigh in 😁

    Hi, I have struggled for some time but now on a 1200 cal intake and also SW, the weight is now starting to come off, 2lb a week which I am happy with. I also use my fitness pal app which is brilliant. 

    It is not suitable fir everyone to count cals but is a suggestion if it helps,

    Well done on the 14 pound loss, that us brilliant xx

      Slimming World. Sometimes a change to your diet is also a boost, I'm no expert and wouldn't dream of advising anyone, but can tell you of my experiences and what boosted my loss when I got stuck x
