Hi Maria, when I joined SW in 2006 it was my daughter who talked me into it. I was weighed in at 15stone 7lbs. Just to let you know I was living in Spain at the time and was home for the summer holidays. The first week I lost 6lbs and the next 2 months I lost 7lbs each month, so when I went back to Spain I had lost 1 stone 6 lbs. so I weighed 14stone 1lb. which I was thrilled about. I asked the lady if I could send her my weight loss each week and when I came back for Christmas at the end of November I was losing roughly 2lb a week with swimming everyday and exercise, we had a gym on our resort in Spain, I lost another 16lbs that took me from 14stone 1lb to 12 stone 13lbs. which was fantastic. So by Christmas that year I lost another 6lbs. So that lead me to be 12stone 7lb. I had a goal weight to get down to 11stone. By Christmas 2007 I reached my goal weight and became a life member. I am now 88 and have left Spain because my husband sadly died and am no longer that weight I think I weigh around about 13stone but at 88 I am not really bothered. I am looking forward to following your journey and seeing your results.❤️❤️
Hi Maureen, thanks for sharing your story. It shows the diet really does work, you have done so well. You have kept a lot of it off which takes will power too. I am sorry to hear that you have lost your husband that must be so hard to deal with. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel. I hope 2024 is a good year for you. XX
struggled with weight, familiar with ups and downs. Holidays hit hard. Slimming World journey resonates - been there. Aspect health guided me, but exploring different paths is key. This video mirrors my journey, from past success to post-holiday gains. Day one restarts the commitment. It's a shared experience, finding what works.
Hi Maria. Great to see your meal ideas again. Look forward to following you on your journey. My daughter started slimming world 5 weeks ago and got her 1 stone award tonight. I am now trying to eat healthier. I am on a 6 week pulmonary rehabilitation programme which involves exercises so hoping it will spur me on to be good xx
Brilliant ideas,just started last week lost 5lb,i find the app for scanning on the phone while shopping great,makes me put back stuff when see how many syns,looking forward to watch your journey.
I’m not on slimming world but I do enjoy seeing what people eat in a day. I will def try that stirfry you made. Looks delicious and healthy! Well done you 👍
When I went to SW years ago I was told to use all my syns everyday or it doesn't work!!! So I did , I was on it for 5 months and lost 3 1/2 stone I never put on during the diet but I did maintain a couple of times, SW is a really good weight loss programme I did seem to be eating all the time 😀 Good luck 😊
I went back to slimming world after Christmas & I’d put on 4lbs 😩 I’m finding it hard to get back into it . I’m glad you’re doing it again as hopefully it will give me some motivation x
I love seein what people eat daily 😊im not in a good place ive piled it all back on nevermind what will be will be takin each day at a time think key is keepin busy for me then i dont eat eat eat lol 🙃
Hi Lucy, yes it helps to keep busy. Just think how you’re going to feel when you start to lose weight. Plan your meals for tomorrow and do your best to stick to it. Every day in gets easier xx

Hi there I’ve just found your video, I just wondered if you knew the egg topper is 2 syns per tablespoon. ( I didn’t want you undoing your hard work.) xx
Yes someone else said that I couldn’t believe it.
You meals look yummy , great shopping haul
Thank you 😋
Very informative thanks a great start❤️👍🏻
My pleasure 😊
The vegetable soup on the slimming world app comes up at 2 syns but says per portion and can says serves 2 so not sure if it’s 2 or 4 syns
Good question .. it says 400 grams on the app .. then it says per portion so I take that as the whole tin but I maybe wrong it’s a little confusing.
Hey s guys, just a quick question, if anyone has followed them Tracy Mouse and Katy Jane I can't find them anymore can anyone tell me what has happened to them.
Tracy has give up unfortunately, I absolutely loved her channel. Not sure about Katy Jane x
Hi I'm new to your channel
Welcome!!
Just to be aware that the Just Spices are not syn free, I got caught out with that one!
1 level tbsp is 2 SYNS good job I only used a fine sprinkle thanks for letting me know x
This was so informative, thank you for the knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
