    Worried again. I'm gaining I just know it.

    I know it is bad to weigh everyday, but I know my own body and seriously the scales are not looking good. I started wk 1 at 9.12. Lost 2 and then gained 2 in wk 2..Now the scales yesterday and today are showing 9.13,5. I'm not convinced this is diet is working. I am tempted to eat calorie...

    Can we eat too much veg?

    Haha thanks guys. My dinner was actually so so nice! And the it was all super free apart from potatoes, some quorn ham and little bit of egg white and quark. Plus when all the veg was in the steamer it looked like tons but by the time I had put some aside for lunch tomorrow split between me and...

    Can we eat too much veg?

    It won't be that much potatoes but quite a lot of the super free veg. More like nearly 1/2 or even 3/4 rather then 1/4 suggested.

    Can we eat too much veg?

    I know it is possible that sometimes slimming worlders perhaps eat more free food then needed. Is that the same with Superfree stuff? Tonight I am making a potato bake, with some new potatoes, quorn ham and cheese, prob with some mushrooms and tomatoes in there also. I'm going to have this with...

    I gained 2 pounds this week

    Thank you Yoyo. I just hopped back in scales and it's now 1.5 gain rather then 2... Iv got decent scales so I guess I weigh a tad more when I first get up. Yep going to stick with it xxxx

    I gained 2 pounds this week

    So I lost two pounds in my first week of slimming world and now have gained it back. Going to try my best and keep my diabetes under control this week as I suspect that is the cause. Overall I didn't go over syns but perhaps the up and down of levels hasn't helped. I'm also going to change...

    Do you ever just feel fat and UGH!

    Yes we can do this!!!! I have just been shopping in Tesco and almost a few times though 'sod it iv gained anyway' but I was strong and didn't. I treated myself to some grapes and double choc alpen light bars instead ☺️

    Do you ever just feel fat and UGH!

    I weigh in tomorrow and if today's sneak weight is anything to go by I have gained 3 pounds. GREAT.... I blame my diabetes and the couple of low days I have had. Iv just been to the gym. I think my body is ok apart from my hideous stomach which sticks out. Does anyone have problem areas that...

    After a few days of unsuccessfully following SW I have some Qs.

    To be honest I think with slimming world you have to be pretty into it for it to work. It is quite a life change and gives you a completely different attitude to food. I only restarted nearly two weeks ago and stuck to it completely apart from two low sugar days (diabetes type 1) I don't...

    Eating too much free food

    When I weigh my food it's just easier for me otherwise I just end up with too much and wasting food. Its different to calorie controlling though as, for example if I weighed out 50g of quorn mince for my bolognaise I know that is usually enough to fill me up.. But on a particularly hungry day I...

    Eating too much free food

    I am use to calorie counting and it is hard not to still do that. I weigh my pasta and potato etc simply because I do not trust my own judgement. Also I still log all my food in my fitness pal and most of the time it is around 1200 calories anyway. But I use this as a log only and never would...

    So what exactly is Slimming World?

    I think for me although it is healthy eating, it sometimes feels like it isn't because you get to eat such nice food and a lot if the time you associate yummy food with naughty foods! I feel naughty sometimes when I have pasta with loads of healthy extra cheddar on it then I remember my cheese...

    Is slimming world ALWAYS on your mind??

    Nothing really.. The best thing is sweets but most I can't eat anyway as they have gelatine in! Fruit juice or mars bars are quite good. The closest thing that is free is a banana but carbs take too long to get in the system, it's sugar I need. Luckily it wasn't that bad this morning so a few...
