I think SW is a fantastic diet for sustainable weight loss. But I'm afraid I really don't like the structure of the classes! I find it mind-numbingly boring to listen to all the weight fluctuations being read out. When I attend a class, it is purely to get weighed, pick up a magazine for a...

I thought whole wheat was the same as whole grain!

Well, I've had a successful green day today and I feel so much better for it. I do still have one Lindt white chocolate bunny (200g). I was planning on giving it away, then I thought I'd try dividing it up into 25g portions and seeing if I can muster up some self-control and just have one...

I didn't even keep track of the Syns yesterday, but I know they included a 13.5 syn Lindt bunny, eight mini hot cross buns with butter and probably 4 glasses of wine! And the scales are telling me I've put on another 2lb overnight! 5lbs in 2 days! Well, maybe it's water retention, time of the...

I'm not back on track yet! Tomorrow is the day ...

After all my good intentions this morning, I've blown in again Big Time today! I had the apple crumble after all and more wine than I should have and chocolate and hot cross buns ++. It's really not worth counting the syns cos I can't remember how many glasses of wine I've had! Shall I just...

Done! x

Thanks for the votes of confidence, Sarah-Jane and Lemon Fizz. Thanks, that makes me feel a bit better. I've heard that wine can do the same thing, hence one blow-out shouldn't make any difference at all in the Grand Scheme of things. I've just been for my swim and have come back feeling...

Well, I blew out yesterday then added up the cost today: 57 syns! And that didn't include any chocolate! I had plenty of free and superfree food, so I didn't need all those syns and now I feel rotten. According to the scales I weigh 3lbs more than I did yesterday morning! The scales are...

Thanks for the welcome! Throughout my adult life I've felt happiest when I've weighed between 8.5 and 9 stone (I'm 5ft 2.5ins) in the morning (add another 3lbs to that for weighing with clothes on in the evening). Comfort eating for emotional reasons has caused my weight to escalate and I...

Doesn't look very well-frequented!

Is there a board dedicated to maintaining? If there is, I can't seem to find it.

Thanks. I've now found the password for this week so I'll use it to fill in the food diary for as long as it works (it seems they all work for at least 2 weeks expiring finally on a Saturday whilst they overlap). I actually want to lose a bit more weight and would like to maintain at 3lbs...

I will, when I know I'm within 3lbs of target weight (or will be by the following week). I really resent the humiliation and expense of going to a group having put on weight. That was why I asked the question. But never mind, it doesn't matter that much! I can always write out a food diary.

I reached my new target of 9st 7lbs just before Christmas. I was told then that I could attend for free as long as I was within 3lbs of target. If I go over that 3lbs, I have to pay again until I'm within 3lbs again. So my understanding is that I can attend for free as long as I don't weigh...

I started at nearly 11st, got down to a target of 10st, lost 3lbs more, then set a new target for 9st 7lbs. As long as I'm within 3lbs either way of 9st 7lbs I can go for free. At the moment I'm around 10st so I just need to get down to 9st 10lbs before I can go without paying.

That's just the point, I've paid out a fortune in the past to SW! As I'm now only a few pounds over my target, I'm aiming to get down to 3lbs above target so that I don't have to pay. Although I could write down my food intake, I find the food diary on the website quite useful and it's nice to...

Thanks, I'm not sure when it was issued, it worked today and earlier this week, any idea when it was issued? The one beginning with a 'g' worked all week but then stopped working today. I'll be going back to the class when I'm within 3lbs of my target, I don't want to go back and pay before...

Without divulging the actual word, can anyone tell me when the password beginning with a 'd' expires?

Thanks Angie, I think you're right there! I think I'll go it myself over the next week or so, using the online food diary (as long as the password I found online works!), then go to the class again until I get to my previous target (9st 7lbs) or even 3lbs below it, then reassess whether I want...

Even if you want to get lower, set your target at something within easy reach, then when you get there you won't have to pay to go to classes until you are 3lbs below that target. Then, set another target at just half a stone less than the original target, so you'll only have to pay for the...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I certainly agree that it's very easy to put the weight back on again. I got down to 9st 7lbs just before Christmas and I'm over 10st again now and could easily go up a bit more if I don't nip it in the bud now. I don't know what's the matter with me, I really...

This brings into focus the whole question of setting a target. Apart from height/weight charts (which for me at 5ft 2.5ins give quite a wide variation of acceptable weights of between 8st and 10st) what is the factor that decides target weight for most followers of SW? I know that I feel best...

I often wonder ... though I've so far never managed to put it into practice ... what would happen to my weight if I followed SW permanently? Would I keep on losing weight until I waste away? Or would my weight find its own natural level and stay there? The reason I ask is because I believe...

Hi, I'm new to this site. I've been slimming off and on since forever and have found I've had the most success with Slimming World. I dislike paying a weekly meeting fee though (it seems mad to pay someone a fiver just to weigh me!) though I appreciate the discipline does focus the mind. I'm...

Thanks. I reached my goal of 9st 7lbs just before Christmas, though really I'd feel happier at around 9st (I'm 5ft 2.5ins). Right now, I'm 10st 1lb (with clothes on). My class is on a Thursday so if I can get down to 9st 10lbs by Thursday 1st April I won't have to pay as I'll then be within...

Hi, I found this site by accident whilst searching for the password (gammon seems to work at the moment, I think it was released last week, anyone know what this week's is?) I'm hovering around half a stone above my goal weight but as I have paid SW quite a lot of money over the years, I...
