Hello, I am Susie and heading towards 50 years old (fast!).
I was a nice curvy 9 stone for years. I stopped smoking about 8 years ago when my partner moved in and started to put on weight - not helped by his penchant for takeaway food and stodge and my lack of willpower. I was made redundant a while back and no success yet finding a job near home - I think things have got a bit on top of me as a result and I have been getting heavier and heavier - now over 12 stone.
BUT... as portion control is my biggest problem I think the Slimming World plan seems sensible AND my partner is going to do it too .
Not going to go to a class yet - hoping to gain confidence by losing a bit and see how it goes. What a great resource this forum is so thanks for all the tips that I have picked up.
The only problem I have so far is that there are so many posts on the SW part of the site, let alone the other parts - how do you keep up?!?
