I started going to slimming world at the end of august - spent 30 quid for 6 weeks and lost approx half stone. Because I am watching the pennies I decided 5 quid a week was more than I could really afford and have carried on the diet by myself - have now lost 1stone and 1lb total. The number of different diets around you name them and Ive tried them but this was my second go at slimming world and I find it a sensible way of losing weight. In agreement with previous poster high protein no carb diets are bad news for your kidneys

Well done Sal, i have tried doing it myself but find I have to go to group to give me the added motivation. i am hoping to be at target by xmas and if i stay within 3 lbs of my target i can stay going free for life

High protein, no carb diets (like the Atkins diets) are dangerous! With no carbs your body burns fat (that's the goal, right?) but the products of fat metabolism are those lovely ketones. Your body goes into a state of ketosis leading to ketoacidosis. It also puts massive strain on your kidneys trying to get rid of all that excess protein. You need to be extra careful you're still getting some of your energy from carbohydrates throughout this whole diet otherwise you could be putting yourself in trouble.

Good luck with the weight loss, be sensible and do some fun exercise too, like swimming or dancing! Buy some 'target clothes' as well, something amazing that you work towards fitting into, that's what I did!

From what I remember, one of the nurses at work tried this and fainted after a couple of days.

I have given up with diets as they never seem to work. Saying that I have lost a stone in the last year and not actually done anything! Don't know how but not complaining!

why dont you just start with healthy eating? I know what you mean I was like that earlier this year and now lost a stone, got another stone to go and I will be at my target weight, hoping to get there by xmas which if I lose ~2lbs a week I will be there!!!

They say it doesn't...but we'll see. At least if i can get it off i will hopefully be able to keep it off easier with healthy eating. I hate my body right now, stuff i wore last winter looks horrid so i can see i'm creeping up

hmmmm bit skeptical about these sort of diets cos as soon as you stop and start eating properly again the weight is gonna go back on,
