    Those of you who can lose 3+ lbs a week.....

    I have had consistently had good losses (3lb+) since I started in January, however I have no idea how I did it, I was eating my syns most day at least up to 10, sometimes the full 15, recently this has slowed down and there are only a couple of things that come to mind. Before I started SW I...

    Is anyone else a SERIAL weigher?

    I weighed myself this morning and I am 2lbs up since weigh in last Thurs, weigh in tomorrow and I am nervous, I have stuck to plan, not had as many syns as I normally have and its showing a gain, my scales at home always show me a pound or 2 heavier than the sw scales, however I am preparing...

    30 day shred

    I know people who have done it in conjunction with SW and have lost inches and pounds by following it properly for 30 days. I have got the dvd, I find Jillian uber annoying and if you have dodgy knees, joints then not the best as there are a lot of jumping jacks, I have done it a few times. In...

    Other Diets

    Thanks, I was pretty desperate to lose weight and really very desperate by the time I started vlcd's however ther eis no way I would ever do a vlcd now. I had my 2nd child in Oct 2012 and started SW in Jan 2013, I still have a long way to go, headwise and weightloss wise however I am feeling...

    Other Diets

    Great thread: I have been a yoyo dieter pretty much since my late teens. Diet pills: this was back in the late 90's not sure whether it still goes on, but there was a "diet clinic" run by an actual doc, I lost weight, but the side effects were along the lines of having heart palpitations...

    Why do ppl over eat

    I am definitely a comfort eater, I have also used food as a way of not addressing my feelings and emotions, the feeling you get when you basically need a nap after a binge, that was me. I had tons of issues around self esteem, confidence and overall happiness and I craved an escape, I also used...

    slimming world v weight watchers

    Re: Weight Watchers or slimming world???? I've done WW in the past and had some success, however when the changed over to pro points I couldnt get on with it at all. In all honesty both plans will work if you stick to them and not 'cheat'. But as a veggi I find sw works better for me, I can...

    Attractiveness

    It took me a long time to accept that on the whole most people are shallow. I know there are men out there that prefer larger women and find them more attractive than slimmer women, unfortunately as much as I would have loved to meet a guy like that when I was younger I didn't. Most of the...

    Children disrupting group!

    My group is in the evening so ideally there shouldn't be any children there, however sometimes some people will bring their kids, on the whole they are quiet, but it must be quite boring for them and sometimes they do tend to play up. Last week one woman was getting upset because she had a gain...

    Slimmer of the week basket.

    Ours is fruit only, some folk have tried to put shower gels and hand creams but they have been taken out, I have been SOTW I have not been able to use a lot of the fruit as it was already on its last legs and couple of days in my fruit bowl meant it wasn't fit to eat- tbh I would rather have the...

    I stayed the same this week, which is disappointing but not unexpected. On a positive note I got Slimmer of the Month. Hoping for a reasonable loss next week at least 2lbs-2.5lbs. Well done everyone!

    Is it just me....?

    I really didn't want people to know I was doing SW, I just wanted it to be a natural thing of people noticing the weight loss and maybe making a positive comment, but I didn't want it to become a "thing" - unfortunately I needed the very people I didn't want to tell (other halfs family) for...

    I've decided not to go back to group.

    I'm relatively new to SW, my C is a lovely lady, lost a lot of weight herself on SW, I stay for group because I want to get as much out of it as I can, my group is v large so you can be there for ages listening to other people's losses or gains and I don't really know anyone so it can be boring...

    How much has everyone lost and how much do you have left to go?

    Hi, I have lost 21.5lbs in 6 weeks, I still have another 4.5 stone to go, so a lot to lose, to be honest I am amazed at how quickly the weight has fallen off, especially seeing as I am such a carb queen (veggie) but I am very happy with it and I never feel hungry and I have tried many many...

    Extra Easy Question re Weekly Weigh-In/Image Therapy

    Started a couple of weeks ago and have been staying for the Image Therapy bit. I have found it a tad boring and because I hardly know anyone in my group I find it hard to be very interested in everyone else's losses or gains. It is a very large group so from initial weigh in to the end of the...
