I am doing s.world and the weight is coming off, but very slow! am away in 2 weeks time and was thinking if doing cs for 2 weeks just for a boost, but everywhere says about the 8 week challenge, anyone just done for an event etc for a boost? does it work short term? thanks x

hello, well after a year of yo-yo'ing weight wise and having no portion control or being able to reist food I am starting slim fast tomorrow! I will face the scales first thing am and want to lose as much in 5 weeks as i can! I will plan my days and hoping to do shake for breakfast, fruit mid...

what a wonderful idea! today I have resisted - all the food at the egg hunt apart from grapes and strawberries even put a half eaten choc rabbit in the bin!! said no to - egg sarnies (my fav) loads of choc, breadsticks, mini chedders - came home and ate a batchelors pasta n sauce!!

thanks, it wil be good to see what you find out, ta x

I agree with the above post - you are only cheating yourselves, which i have done in past, my weigh in is tues at 6.30, and i eat my tea at 5pm with kids, and i will carry on to do so - I have 20 lbs to lose so do not think if i have eaten loads in a day/ not eaten it will make that much change...

ta for your replies- re above one - maybe thats not the answer then? when i looked at was i was actually taking and it stated 3.35g of sugar I thought wow!! but will try for a week not to take it and monitor it so to speak!

I know the actual coca beans (i think thats what they are called) are really good for you - but they do not taste that nice (think of powdered coco powder) its all the sugar they add to it thats so bad (and why it tastes so nice!) I cut out choc once (many moons ago) and after 2 months tried a...

hello, thansk to those who replied to my post yest re my daily lactulose intake - after looking into it more - each 5ml I was taking contains 3.35g of sugar - times that by 6 spoons per day gives me the same amount of sugar intake as a 4 finger kit kat - without counting/synning it etc! so glad...

thanks for all your replies, will not take any for a week and ensure I have fruit. veg and loads of water each day! just glad if it is this to know so early on as was really to pack it in (but paid in advance for 12 weeks! so will stick at it)

I am on week 4 of s.world and gutted to report a 2lb weight loss in 4 weeks- went through food diaries etc, and the leader was questioning me etc, and then I realised I take lactulose solution (6 x 5mls sppons per day) each 5ml contains 3.35g of the sugar lactulose, I have searched the...

I agree with the above, the best thing is to do the same every week! my weigh in is at 6.30 but I still have tea with kids at 5pm, which i will carry on doing, i have done it in the past where i have not eaten/drank in day of weigh in which is good for that weigh in - but what about the next...

I hope you do not mind me writing on your board (I am a slimming world girl!) but I wanted to tell you about my friend who is mid 30's, I have known her since she was 15 and has always been bigger and I honestly thought that was the way she was meant to be - big boned etc... she could eat for...

I have started to wi on a sat am - only as I started s/world last sat after a fri night of eating/drinking and woke up feeling so rubbish - i thought right thats it! also it means i am careful in the weekend but I can defin be better during the week so that helps me, overall I do not tihnk it...
