Following a bereavement my husband and I gained weight like nobodies business. We had problems with breathing, joints and generally felt unhealthy. I'm not surprised. My husband (6ft tall) ballooned to 19 and a half stones and me, only 5'5" swelled up to 18 and a half. I am deeply ashamed to mention all this.
In November we joined S.W. and haven't looked back. Hubby has lost 5 stones and been voted man of the year and I have lost 3.
I feel now, that I could do with a forum where I can get a ticker but I haven't got a signature box.. Do I have to wait until I have been a set time?) And talk to people the same as me but in different cities.
I really, really look forward to meeting you all

Hello.....? Anyone there....?

Hi Bookworm. It's very quiet on here at the moment due to summer holidays I presume.
I think you need to post 10 times before you can have a signature. Have a look in the Support section as I'm sure it's been brought up before

Hi Bookworm

Wow that's amazing, both of you.

Your signature will start appearing at post 10. This is just to weed out spammers. Sorry for the confusion.

Hello both. I'm not surprised people are off line in this heat we have just had. I was so hot yesterday, I seemed to be talking gibberish. And of course the tennis is on too. I hope I can start a diary off.

Hi and welcome to Social Slimmers! You have both done so well with the weight loss

Just registered here today and only joined (for the umpteenth time) a class last night. Your achievement is very inspiring as I have 5 stone to lose, which is the goal I have chosen. So was delighted to find your thread here. Well done to both of you

Awesome! Well done.
