    REALLY struggling

    Congratualtions on the latest loss. It could get difficult if you are eating the same food over and over again. Do you usually cook at all? Personally I'm a fan of things I can cook in under 30 minutes or preferably under 20 mins! It's good to have repetoire of meals you can cook - I've heard...

    Sliming world or WW

    I think Starlight has a point when she says you will get a very different answers on the WW thread. You need to find which is best for you - ww or SW. SW encourages you to eat healthy foods with its free foods and WW with its advice on healthy foods and through the different points assigned to...

    Sliming world or WW

    Hi I've recently joined SW as I have friends going to a meeting and I find it motivating to go to a meeting with a friend. In the past I've done WW. With SW I like the unlimited free foods and there are fewer things to count. I like that I can always make a big plate of potato wedges. I also...

    Great advice - thank you! I will go for the morning weigh in then... very good advice that there is not messing around with the diet that way to get a lower reading on the scales! I like your idea of having meals an hour later - I'll try that and it would help with evening snacking. I hadn't...

    DISCOVERY PLAN....

    Hi Grom - I've just posted the same question on another thread! Starlight - I don't know really - just speculating as to why they needed to publicise.

    Preference. Old WW plans or new Discover one ?

    I don't have the new plan - does it roughly translate as old 'core foods' being 'filling foods' and you're encoruaged to include these in your points?
  40. A

    DISCOVERY PLAN....

    I guess WW need something to attract people, especially for the new year. I guess they might be getting squeezed a bit by LL and maybe the recession. Weight loss hasn't changed and I guess the lack of change to WW shows that WW have had it right for a long time.

    56 days til crimbo!!!!!! 2 stone down?

    Abz - really hope you get a loss on Monday. Plateuas tend to happen but when you're only eating 500 or 600-odd calories a day it has to come off at some point. Got my fingers crossed for you.
