It does work but you are in danger of not eating enough, I lost over a stone but because I finally got into employment, I didn't have enough time to do everything and wasn't eating enough so stayed the same, it didn't fit my life, I've moved to CC. It does work but eventually you do need to portion yourself. Always do the 1/3rd rule, that can stop you losing weight if you slack on it also. x

That sounds great. Keep your eye on those fat free yoghurts. Flavoured ones can still have lots of added sugar.
But since you have barely scratched any syns that's fine. Don't forget to have your healthy extras and syns. Following a diet that is largely fat and sugar free can sometimes result in people not eating enough energy, resulting in your metabolism slowing down making weight loss tricky.
Your syns and healthy extras boost that up a bit, and they stop the diet being tedious..
hiya,
i was the same at first, going from weight watchers where you can only eat a certain amount to starting slimming world where literally could eat loads was a shock and i thought it just wouldnt work...but it does ive done it once before and loast weight fairly easily on it without feeling hungry and ive started again today 2nd time round! good luck you will soon get the hang of it and enjoy the foods you can eat and the syns are there to help if you do eat something tempting

If it works for me, a shift worker with a terrible diet pattern. Then am sure it will for you. Week 1 I maintained while my body was adjusting but as long as your using the 3rd superfree food it'll b fine.
I can't believe I can eat like I have been and loose weight. This is going to change my life If It continues to fall off.I havnt eaten one salad or felt deprived at any point because I can simply turn to my free foods to fill that gap. Think I will start having some salad for some versatility but I have lost 1.5st without eating a single salad! Ha its mental!
To get my head around the potatoes/rice/pasta freedom is abit mind boggling but as long as I have my third superfree am all good.
Its very exciting talking about this diet, I have great faith in reaching 2st someday soon and that fills me with joy!

Think of how you can incorporate easy superfree food. Like onions and mushrooms, a couple of minutes to chop up and then fry for five mins. I also find those mini freezer bags of veg you get from places like tesco that require four mins in microwave are also good. Job done!
Oh thanks I didn't think of that.. As I was wondering how do you incorporate veg into pasta/noodles etc but didn't think of mushrooms tbh.. (I don't like onions lol) x

I put green beans, peas, sweetcorn and finely diced butternut squash into pasta as well - if you use passata or a tin of toms for the sauce base you end up 50% superfree. For cheesy sauces (using low low spread) I'll do tiny bits of broccoli and cauliflower, green beans and leeks.

Right my slimming friends, I can feel myself becoming blaazae about my weight loss, feeling less motivated than normal as its all become second nature to me now. Think my low loss has to show for it and my brains drifting
