My lifestyle journey to 10.7 X

[Dietninja]

I wanted to try slimming world alongside 5:2 so that whilst I could eat freely I had to keep it healthy. Or low carb for same reason.

I'd worry about WW because the cals (or points) are quite limited anyway. But you could give it a go and see...I know what you mean about the hurry. I'm desperate to see the back of the 12s...it'll happen...eventually!!

So you suggest slimming world then? Oh man... I can't decide. I've been sat in the 13's since December now. I need this fat gone lol.

I have aver chicken fillet breasts for dinner with salad. X

I never really got on with weight watchers coz the calorie allowance is quite low unless you eat loads of fruit. I preferred slimming world because if I was hungry I could eat (if I run out of calories, I tend to say sod it and blow the diet!)

Anyway, it's horses for courses really...I'm not a good one to recommend a diet because I've struggled so much recently.

Thing is, they all work...if you stick to them!!!!

Whatever you choose, very good luck and I'll be here to support you

You're doing great already! I'm hoping to be at 10 stone by October 2015! I'm new and looking for inspiration and motivation on the "down days"

There is a lot to learn with SW - you really need the books from the class. You could get a free joining coupon when they are about and go to the first class and pay about £5 for the books - I did not write that but they are all basically calorie counting in the end - cals in and cals used etc.
If you go on the SW forum on here there is lots of info and lots of people will answer your questions - it has to be the busiest forum on here.

 

[Bella-slimmer]

I hope your week is off to a good start? I've tried Slimming World and Weight Watchers- I found that WW had too low a calorie allowance too but I always had to many 'Syn' foods when following Slimming World, even when I was within my calorie allowance!

 

[systema]

Me too - I put weight on with SW - free foods (where you can eat as much as you want) did not work for me as I eat things like chickpeas which are quite high in cals if you eat a lot and that was what I was doing - having a great big bowl of "free" chickpea curry and rice then having another one later. Mounds of pasta etc.

Here to sub. Ive also started 5:2 recently!! I used to do sw. Do you calorie count on your non fast days?x

Hello silver no I'm not planning on counting calories on non fast days. I'd personally get obsessed with calories in everything and I dint want that stress in my life lol. X

why are you

 

[SheridanLM91]

Just wanted to say it sounds like your calorie counting is going well Honey-J!

Excited to see you post some good losses over the coming months.

 

[Bella-slimmer]

Sorry to hear you've been poorly this week. I hope you have a nice meal and cocktail evening

Did you get my private message - I don't seem to be able to find it in my sent box.

 

[Scrumbles]

Sorry to hear you've had such a rough week, and a STS to boot Hope your weekend has perked you up - yesterday's menu would definitely put a smile on my face, I have to say!

If you're not calorie-counting on your non-fasting days I think it's a very good idea to be doing a plan like SW (or WW) just in case your 2 days of 500 cals are being totally outweighed by what you're eating on the other 5 days - I'm pretty sure that that's exactly what would happen to me

Good luck with it, whatever you choose to do x

Yes I think I would be the same.

The reason for the private message was I saw you were going to look at the Hairy Dieters Book and I have it as a PDF if you want a copy - just let me have an email address to send it to.
