    SW to WW - Is it worth it?

    It does work, but it has to work for your lifestyle etc... For me, even with "all I could eat free food" I found SW too restrictive in the sense if you eat or drink anything other than the free food, you were off the wagon. Nights out or big family meals felt like I had messed up my whole week...

    Switched from SW and no idea what I'm doing!

    Hello! Firstly, you are going to need to forget what you know on SW and get your head around the fact most food is now pointed, no more "unlimited" pasta! I think that the hardest part when switching. However, you are going to have much more freedom with what food you eat. The best thing to...

    Will Weight Watchers work better for me than Slimming World?

    Its a personal thing. For me, even with "all I could eat free food" I found SW too restrictive in the sense if you eat or drink anything other than the free food, you were off the wagon. Nights out or big family meals felt like I had messed up my whole week because I had completely blown my 5 a...

    Iceland and slimming world

    Not sure how I feel about the ready meals. They HAVE to be loaded with salt etc like the WW ones are. I worry it will encourage people to become lazy with the plan. Just seems very contradictory of SW's ethics.

    supplements

    I didnt take my evening primrose oil for few days and I had a weight drop...maybe it does affect weight loss..... Sticking to multi vitamins and iron it is!

    Importance of positive approach

    Yep, i agree. This is the first diet that's lasted longer than a week and im not fed up with! Feel very confident about this.....

  142. skinnyminnycow

    Consolidation hard to get your head around

    Hmmm, once a week eating carbs wont make you put weight on i dont think. Just learn from this new diet and like the book says, base your whole eating around the PV days... :) x

    Water

    Like the good Dr says....a housewife wouldn't wash her dishes and not rinse. Its a rinse effect getting rid of all the excess. Plus water makes your toilet habits easier on protein filled diets.

    supplements

    Are you guys taking any supplements? I take a multivitamin and a evening primrose oil tablet a day. I'm worried that the evening primrose oil might affect my weight loss....it is oil at the end of the day. What do you think? xx

    Pre Packed Chicken

    Is anyone registered with Dukan online?

    You could see that without signing up? I saw mine too and the timeline. The website was on Watchdog not long ago for basically taking the money and not giving much for your money.
  152. skinnyminnycow

    This cant be right?

    Wow, well done! I am on day 4 and lost 2lb which is disheartening. How have you done it? What have you been snacking on and having for meals? :)
  153. skinnyminnycow

    Help! Day 5 and i'm miserable - despite the weight loss!

    Got to admit, I am on day 4 on attack and I have lost 2lb. Which is disheartening, for once I have followed a diet to the letter and not lost as much as i had hoped. I mean this is average for a week on weight watchers or slimming world I guess, but with all the money im spending on protein i...

    Pre Packed Chicken

    Ah so people don't actually buy them. Im not seeing a big result as i expected to on the scales. Im on day 4 and lost 2lbs. I think its something to do with the pre packed ham and chicken i was eating. Bit disheartening really :( This diet is harder than i realised!
  155. skinnyminnycow

    Pre Packed Chicken

    Ive asked this in a reply to another person, however going to ask it in my own post. What pre packed chicken are you guys buying? Where from and what brands? A lot of the chicken i am looking at contains pea/potato starch, or salt, or sugar or reformed etc etc. Seems really hard to just find...
  156. skinnyminnycow

    What Ham?

    I think im going to avoid Ham. I ate smoked Ham today, didnt realise it was banned. :sigh: Anyway - ive been looking at the sliced chicken and mini fillets you can buy in packs and they all contain things like potato/pea starch, or Dextrose, sugar and salt....surely this isnt good. Where do...

    Any Vegans/Veggies on here?

    Pasta n sauce - you buy these? you dotn make them yourself - it would be so bad if you could eat processed foods on green days but it seems everything has to be freshly made = expensive - i suppose its getting me down about this plan....Seemed alot cheaper when i did Weight Watchers due to the...

    Any Vegans/Veggies on here?

    I do yeah! By the time you have got all the ingredients for chillis, bolognaise etc its dearer than buying some meat and veg....i just dont like meat but its cheaper and easier!
  170. skinnyminnycow

    Any Vegans/Veggies on here?

    As the title says...and if so what do you eat and so to keep it cheap? I find it alot more expensive and time consuming to do green days (which is good for veggies/vegans) Any tips?
