    Filling & Healthy Question

    With F&H, is it strictly 3 meals a day or can you have 4 or 5 smaller meals? Also, can you have F&H food as snacks or strictly only at meal times? I am really struggling to stick to anything at the moment and the weight is steadily increasing so thought I might give F&H a go. Thanks in advance...

    Question for you!

    Hi, I usually do points but I have been put on different medication which is making me feel hungry all the time. I thought I might be better trying F & H but my question is do you have to have only 3 meals a day or can you eat F&H food as and when you feel hungry?

    Has anyone ditched Slimming World for Weight Watchers?

    Hi, I did WW in the past and lost 5 and half stone, unfortunately fell of the wagon and regained it all back! I decided to try SW and whilst I like the freedom of eating as much free foods as I like I still missed treats and the freedom that WW offers regarding points. I honestly think that...

    Hi, I have done them all as prob alot of you have. What I would like to know is which diet you are on and why. I have previously lost loads of weight with Weightwatchers but lost my mojo! I am trying Slimming World now but find it hard work. (Don't get me wrong - I am NOT calling...

    Naughty points !!!

    I know that , like me, people on this site have alot to lose so prob have alot of points everyday. What I would like to know is, do any of you use a few of your points everyday for naughty treats like choc or crisp or both! And if so, do you still lose weight?

    Does anyone struggle???

    I have only been doing the EE plan since Monday but am finding it really hard. My mind really wants me to succeed but feel like I am really struggling with motivation. I did lose 5 and half stone with Weightwatchers a few years ago but my mind was really focused then and have never seemed to...

    Extra Easy Syns

    Does anybody (who is on the EE plan) use their full 15 syns a day and still lose weight. And am also wondering if anyone uses all their 15 syns on naughty foods like crisps or choc? Thats what I am missing. I have only been on the plan since Monday and am enjoying the freedom of all the free...

    Extra Easy Which is the best???

    Hi, which is the best low syn choc bar and crisps. I haven't had any for awhile and really really want some without blowing everything! (I have ordered a food directory which I should be getting soon)

    have just started SW as have been at WW for 2 years

    Hi, I agree with Jaylou. I have done WW on and off for years and always did the "points" plan. Wanted to try something different so thought I would give the Extra Easy plan a go. I also am still getting it into my head that you can eat all this free food AND syns! I will let everyone know...
  112. alioreilly

    just want to say .. . .

    I am also doing it at home alone. I agree 100% that this site is fantastic. I am soooooooooo glad that I found it. So informative and friendly. Really need alot of support and motivation and sometimes advice so I find this site perfect for me.

    Extra Easy Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just tucking into a large portion of synfree chilli & pasta. Was struggling to feel full until after reading this site. Still felt like I had to restrict things. (previously a weightwatcher) Had a boiled egg and a chicken drumstick for a snack, alot more filling than fruit...

    I need to share my success!!!

    Well done you. You have every right to want to shout about. I will be shouting about it once I have lost!!!

    Extra Easy Question???

    On EE, could you have more smaller meals instead of three bigger meals. Because I like to snack I would prefer to have smaller meals of free food then I always have something to look forward to. Would this still be ok?
  116. alioreilly

    Extra Easy So!!!

    My usual snacks are all naughty!!! Choc, crips, biscs, etc etc. Hence why I'm so big to start with!!!

    Extra Easy So!!!

  120. alioreilly

    Extra Easy Getting my head round this!!!

    Hi, I used to do Weight watchers but used to points to "my" advantage and felt like I needed a change. I am still abit skeptical with SW, being able to eat all these free foods! If I describe an average days food, can somebody tell me if it sounds ok or if I am overeating. Breakfast: 2 slices...

    Signatures and Progressive Privileges

    Thanks for the info - I thought that I hadn't registered properly! Great site, by the way!
  123. alioreilly

    ???????????????????????????????

    How come Slimming World says you can eat as much free foods as you want but people on here say "within moderation". I have a big appetite and can eat quite alot before feeling satisfied. Can you help me understand better.
  124. alioreilly

    Sounds good! I'm doing extra easy. Just struggling with inbetween meals. I am normally a snacker. Used to be on WW and used points for low fat snacks. I am getting a SW food directory but until I get it, I don't know what syns are for which food. I must admit that I really like the freedom...
