Hi!

Hello to everyone, my name is Jo, I am a new member of Slimming World this week. I've joined before but hoping this will be the last time! My main reason for wanting to lose weight is that I have arthritis in both of my hips and will eventually require a total hip replacement. As I am only 39 I want to put this off for as long as possible and I know that losing weight will help. I want to lose about 5 stones altogether, which seems like a huge amount. Hoping for support and encouragement from you guys, looking forward to getting to know you all better.

Hi and welcome. Good luck with SW and come over and have a look at the SW section for encouragement

Hi Jo, I had a hip op a couple of years ago, I would probably not had to have it at all if I hadn't been so obese.
