    smart points

    I find SP a lot better than pp as the points for sugary things ( ie choc which is my weakness!) have gone so high they're not worth it- while filling stuff like chicken and prawns have dropped - so the plan shoves you into eating healthier stuff! I don't know if you can have prawns , but all...

    Weight Watchers vs Slimming World

    Hi Serena- are you still on the old WW plan? It's just that you get a minimum of 30 points on Smartpoints and you don't get 49 weeklies, it depends on your age , weight , sex and height as far as I know! Lol! Sal x

    Need help please!

    Hi! Unfortunately propoints is now history so the only ways to find out your Smartpoints daily/ weekly allowance are to either join a class ( which you can't do) join online, or I think you can get your allowance from the calculators available to buy ( but don't quote me on that one!) Most...

    Weight Watchers vs Slimming World

    Well I bit the bullet and rejoined WW today and what a revelation! I love chicken and prawns which have dropped in points and chocolate which is my weak point has gone sky high which is exactly what I need! Low fat flavoured yogurts full of sweeteners seem to be slightly higher - but too many...

    Weight Watchers vs Slimming World

    Hi! Yeah - I wouldn't be bothered at all if she wasn't the SW leader - you just feel a bit silly , as if you've somehow failed I suppose! Now I'm reading this it sounds ridiculous . Another thing I can't be doing with is the ruddy image therapy- when you've had a bad week the last thing you want...

    Weight Watchers vs Slimming World

    Hi Hun! I so resonate with everything you say! - my friend restarted at WW last week , and when I saw her in the school playground the first thing she said was ' curly wurlies are 8 points' ! They must have used them as an example in all the WW sessions last week! Lol! I need to make my mind up...

    Weight Watchers vs Slimming World

    What a lovely post! You might have just persuaded me to jump off the Slimming World merry go round! I have been a member of both SW and WW many many times over the last 30 years and have found that whilst I was greedy on SW I was hungry on WW and ate too much low point crap just because I could...

    Confused about consultant

    Well apparently they get weighed at the area managers house every month ( or at least my old consultant did!) so whether they have until the next weigh in to get it off?? No pressure there then! Lol! Sal x

    Confused about consultant

    Yep I agree although my leader is at least the same size as she was then so it doesn't instil much confidence in you if you can't see the 'visible' results so to speak. Also I know that WW leaders have to stay within so many pounds of target to keep their job - I don't know whether that's a good...

    Food wise what do you not agree with ?

    Years ago SW used the word 'sins' which as you say has negative connotations but a few years ago they changed it to 'syns' short for synergy to turn the negativity on treats on its head meaning they could be enjoyed as part of a normal healthy eating plan!

    How to lose fat off the stomach area

    Hi I read recently that low carb diets in particular Atkins, were more efficient at blitzing stomach fat primarily because of the way carbs are broken down. There was a study cited but can't quite remember what it was- might be worth a google though! Sal x

    changes to plans

    Exactly what I've always thought- although I've followed SW on and off for 20 years I always wondered why, given that SW advocates a well balanced diet dies it allow low fat ie sugary stuff as well as processed stuff like pasta and sauces ( which I love!) and mugshots?!

    I know what you mean about the 'every waking moment' thing -I,m exactly the same although I,m a lot worse when I, m on WW than on SW.
