    Extra Easy Can we have updates please.....

    I started mid Jan and have done Extra Easy all but one week (my first week) have had 5 losses and one STS. Sticking with it though as it is much easier than red and green. I'd otherwise end up on green days all of the time as I struggle on red.

    ok made a decision................

    I think this might be what some group leaders (maybe the ones that aren't quite trusting of ee themselves) are saying to ensure good losses. But the fact is there is no rule on this and it works whether you eat lots of superfree or not.

    ok made a decision................

    it is true and it works and is fantastic. the group leader said people who have done red and green are reluctant to try ee but I would encourage you to. I did red and green for first couple of weeks and it was a bit hard at first adjusting to one heA and one heB. But I love it now. I used to...

    Ex Easy????

    my friend and her boyf joined sw three weeks ago and in their third weigh in they had lost a combined total of 20 pounds. They've only ever done EE and don't have stones and stones to lose, probably 2 each max! So it does work (which is why I've gone from 'mixing it up' to EE this week!)

    so dissapointed

    ploughing on Hi, I just wanted to post because I'm also not feeling I'm doing so well on the SW. I lost 2lb in my first week and 1lb in my second. Yes it's still a loss but when I go with friends who need to lose less than me and they take off 3.5lb and 4lb a week it's a bit disheartening. I'm...

They've done SW for three weeks and have stuck to EE, lad has lost 12lb, and girl has lost 8lb. So my tea was chicken in nandos garlic peri peri marinade (which I counted as 0.5 syn...

    Hi all, I am back to my positive self now and somehow forgot that totm might have affected me when I was being weighed! If I keep losing even a little is in the right direction and I had a look at what 2lb feels like- it's quite impressive! BTW Paul, congrats on your first week, looks like SW...

    Original Filling up on red days?

    Hi everyone I am only in my 8th day of Slimming World and so far have done green and extra easy days. I've stayed away from red because I'm scared I won't be able to fill myself up. Has anyone got any good meal ideas that really fill you up on red?

    My first week on SW- anyone else feel like this?

    my loss Well I did lose but only 2lb. Was hoping for more in my first week but I think I might have been overfilling myself to stop myself reaching for the snacks. Will try better.... Had to hand my food diary in to my group leader so she can check how I was doing. I wonder if mixing extra...

    Hi all SWers! I am in my first week and just wonder if anyone else stuck to the SW plan in their first week (i'm on day 5) and didn't feel like they had lost weight?
