i did slimming world for a few months and i did really well...i omlu stopped because i fell off the diet wagon at christmas and i never got back on it until the following june!....one of the things that i learned the hard way is that although you can eat as much as you like of certain foods, i took that a bit too literally for the first couple of weeks and my weight loss was really poor!...as soon as i cut my portions back, i found that i could lose weight at a faster rate, and i still wasnt hungry! i was just eating too much of the free foods due to greed rather than hunger! good luck! xxx
