This book sounds amazing - any idea where I could get a copy as I am unable to attend classes! ?

I love this forum I'm the exact same - i HATE salads and veggies! When i do have to eat veg its only carrots or peas i'll take and i'll take them like tablets washed down with some diet coke! :P I didn't know the fruit had to be taken immediately before or after the meal but i'll remember that...

I came across a recipe last time I was doing SW for a speedy soup but I've lost it since.. I detest soup but that one was gorgeous it was spicy and full of flavour.. I may have had chicken in it too I just can't remember.. Anyone any ideas what one it may be as I would love to make it again! :)

Hey all! After reading about the kettlebells and how good they are meant to be I went and purchased some in Argos - a set of 3 - 2kg, 3kg and 4kg. My OH has a 7kg one aswell. So night 1 when I get home I try it out - my mother makes me stand against the wall while squatting so I keep my back...

Oh really? Hmm must invest in some then and see if it boosts my loss i'd take anything at this stage! Thanks! :)

Hey all, just wondering if anyone is in the same position as me? I've recently restarted slimming world but I'm now going back to college next week and I'm terrified that the diet will stop! I'll be busing it up every day which takes an hour each way and i'll be spending all day in college...

Hi there I'm just rejoining SW after a YEAR LONG relapse!! :( Im starting off at 12stone 3 - the exact same as I started with last time round but I would love to get down to 11stone and i think my dream weight would be 9 and a half or 10.. Have 2 weddings coming up in March with my boyfriends...

Hi there, This exercise sounds really good was just wondering could I get a little more info on it? I have to say I'm a very lazy person very rarely do exercise and if I do its about a 20 minute walk once a month - disaster really! I was involved in an accident a few years ago which put me out...

I like your thinking theres nothing nicer than a wee bit of chocolate in the evenings - my problem is i don't know when to stop! :P I think the extra easy plan is your best bet for this - the group I used to attend never went into any details about the green or red as theyre more complicated...

Hi there, I am also doing this without the help of the slimming world class. I have to say i couldn't give any higher praise to the group I attended last time I did this diet but now I am back at college it doesn't suit me to attend! Hopefully this time I will succeed and this website seems to...

There really are some yummy meals alright! :) And its so hard to believe after eating them you still lose weight - i personally eat like a horse so this diet is great for me i wouldn't have stopped only for circumstances last year! The only thing I find is the desserts aren't brilliant though in...

Hello hello! :) I've just started the slimming world diet 2 days ago with the boyfriend! Did it before in 2010 but fell off the bandwagon for the last year! Not attending the groups this time around so hopefully i'll still be able to motivate myself and shift the pounds!

I made the diet coke chicken last night but I put ALOT of chinese spice powder in it - smelled disgusting for the first few minutes but once it started cooking more it smelled yummy! Served it with rice and will definitely make it again - next time with chips!
