Thread: Is anyone successful doing SW at home instead of going to class?

I'm thinking of just doing the plan at home and spending the money on joining the gym.

What I would save each month doing at home halves the cost of joining the gym, and I can't afford to do both.

Those of you that do it at home, do you struggle to stay on plan?

I do it from home, and i have found it pretty easy. Are you a strong person? Because i think you do need to be strict with yourself. If you have someone to do it with you, or even act as your consultant and weigh you every week that might help. One of the ways i cope is by planning the whole week, breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks and extra's. That way i only have to look at the chart on the fridge and hey presto! Good luck with whatever you decide! x

I also do SW from home as trying to fit in a meeting is impossible with things that I do an dont always have acess to the internet. I find that planning is the key with all your meals.
Being able to get support on here is also beneficial

Good luck in your decision!!

I'm another who does it from home...I find it easier and there's less reason not to carry on. For example if I had a bad week or suspected a gain I wouldn't want to go to class but at home I have Minimins to keep me motivated. There's quite a lot of us who weigh in at home so you won't be alone in it...have a nose at the weigh in forum, there are different threads for each day, so pick your weigh in day and jump in. (Sundays are great )

I am going to attempt doing it at home for starters. I really hope I still have my old books hanging around somewhere!

Good luck

Thanks everyone, I think I'll give it a go.

I love going to the gym, and maybe my losses might be more if I'm exercising and swimming 3-4 times a week.

I was gunna do it online as its only £60 for 3months but after reading up on it I'm finding it quite confusing so I'm gunna be joining class now....x

All depends on your willpower I suppose. I find it fine staying on plan doing it at home Good luck

Whatever you do just be positive and stick at it!!! At the end of the day it's what works best for you. x

I plan to do it alone from next month..
good luck all

I'm almost 12 weeks in now ... I weigh in at home on a Thursday morning which allows me to enjoy my weekends and then knuckle down from Mon-Wed if I need to

A friend in work goes to class and doesn't get anything from it that I don't get from Minimins. All the support I need is right here!

I think you've been doing SW long enough now to recognise if you need class or whether 'us lot' will do You know the plan inside out and I reckon you can do this from home easy peasy

Thanks Ali. You're quite right, I'm sure I'll get all the support I need on here!

I follow the plan from home with the support of the lovely ladies & gentlemen on minimins. It has worked for me but I can be my own worst critic & I am an all or nothing kind of person. Its worth a shot & if you have done slimming world before at least you know the plan well. That was the hardest part for me in the beginning

Good luck

I much prefer doing it on here, my C was really unhelpful and I have all the support I need on here It's nice to have that extra fiver to spend somewhere else in a week and I can now weigh in once every two weeks instead of weekly - it helps me stay on track as I don't fret so much about food and liquid weight the day before WI!

Good luck with slimming from home, we're all here to help x

Thanks everyone, you've all convinced me.

I know the plan really well, so no problems there.

I'm going to join the gym tomorrow night!
