I joined online this week, there was an offer for £30 for three months. As far as I can work out they are just making it easier to follow low carb etc within the point system. Online if you chose a particular plan it gives suggestions for breakfasts, lunches and dinners. I must admit it was the...

I must pick up some Slimmatee and try it.

Can I join please. I'm not sure I will manage a stone as I lose weight very slowly but will try my hardest. I weigh in on Wednesdays.

I'm struggling as well. I had planned to have a couple of relaxed days over Easter, not going mad but having a few treats. I had rather too many treats. I have tried to get back on plan since Monday, but the motivation isn't there. All the Easter chocolate is gone now except for some Malteser...

I have had a bad couple of days but I am going to draw a line under it and start again tomorrow. I've got two eggs to eat but will share them with DH and will have a bit after weigh in for the next few weeks. i will put them into bags containing 5 or 6 syns worth when I open them.

I did SW years ago, and couldn't get on with it. Well I could get on with it but I did mostly green days and didn't lose any weight due to the huge plates of pasta. I tried EE with much trepidation but am losing slowly, but more importantly I don't feel deprived and can see myself eating like...

I was surprised about the frozen fruit. The most common frozen fruits are berries which tend to contain less sugar than other fruit.

I must admit I have only stayed to meetings a couple of times and don't feel I'm missing anything by not staying. In the past I have been to WW and enjoyed the meetings. The SW plan is good but I pay to be weighed by a volunteer. At WW you would either be weighed by the leader or in a large...

Well done. Looking forward to getting back into my summer clothes.

Since having kids I hovered between 9st 7lb and 10st until four years ago when I gained over a stone during a stressful six months. I have struggled to lose this weight despite trying Weightwatchers, counting calories and other diets. I lost and gained the same few pounds and my blood sugar was...

It would be good if they had a diary following someone on their weightless 'journey'. This would allow them to highlight their ups and downs. I only have a couple of stones to lose so losing weight will be good for my health and good for my vanity but will make very little difference to my day...

I wish there was better information available on the SW website for eating out syns. I have been to Starbucks at lunch and searched for Starbucks food on the mobile website and got 30 results for coffee. Alternatively I would buy a handbag sized eating out guide.

I'm menopausal and have lost 4.5lb in three weeks which I am pleased about but I have watched my portion sizes of free food. I did SW in the past and struggled to lose weight but I was having huge bowls of pasta etc. Your metabolism, and therefore calorific requirement does slow down as you get...

I am also worried about the sweeteners used in SW. I'm not keen on Mullerlights and Alpen lights because I think they taste artificial. I very rarely drink diet drinks anyway. I'm not perfect I do sprinkle some Splenda on Greek yoghurt or over tart fruit but I would rather have desserts made...

I would like to buy an Extra Easy cookbook from class. Can anybody recommend one. I already have the 100 Extra Easy days. Thanks

I also originally bought my books from Slimming World via Ebay, it was only after reading them I decided to take advantage of the two weeks free classes that was included in the pack. Since then I have paid for a twelve week pass because even though I don't stay to class I like the discipline of...

I go to class but find there is very little time to talk to the consultant. I pay one volunteer, get weighed by another volunteer and then usually leave. I don't feel comfortable with image therapy and certain members tend to dominate it. I feel sad about this as when I was previously a member I...

When I did SW several years ago, before Extra Easy I used to do Green Days 90% of the time. After a while I struggled to lose weight and I asked the consultant if I could be eating too much pasta and was told that it was a free food and I could eat as much as I wanted. At the time she told me...

I lost 1.5lb this week which makes me 11st 6.5lb. Although I have lost 3lb in total I feel bloated, I assume it is my system getting used to all the fruit and veg.

I'm sure SW did do frozen ready meals several years ago, though they may have just been trialled in our area. I know they did do pouches of tuna in dressing, the lime and black pepper one was gorgeous and I would love for them to bring that back. I much prefer WW meetings, though when I did SW...

I much prefer WW meetings to SW. My WW consultant used to congratulate those who had achieved 7lb awards, goal, 10% awards, then ask who was pleased/disappointed with their result but it was up to the individual whether to contribute or not. Then we would have a talk about the subject of the...

I'm another serial dieter. I always used to end up back at WW, until they changed to pro points. I tried it for six months and lost and gained the same couple of pounds. Since then I have lost lost £££££'s but not pounds as I have bought diet book after diet book but although they all look...

Thanks for clarifying this as I was concerned about some of the tweaks. When I did SW before it was because Extra Easy and the available tweaks were limited by Red or Green choices.

I have lost 1.5lb so now weigh 11st 8lb. I am quite pleased with that though had been hoping for more on my first week.

Can I join you please. I just started last week and want to give it a good start. I aim to stick at it for six weeks and would like to lose 7lb. I lose weight extremely slowly but I need to do something to stop more weight creeping on.

Thanks Upndown and everyone else. I'm going to go through the book and make a list of the free/superfree food I usually have and make a shopping list and a meal plan. I know someone who does SW and she was advising me to liquidise a can of macaroni cheese as a cheese sauce to use in pasta bake...

Hi, I'm new here, I joined Slimming World an Wednesday and am slowly getting to grips with it though it has resulted in some unusual meals. I am currently 11st 10lb and would ideally like to lose two stone. Although I have done SW in the past, I always preferred WW until they introduced the...
