The reason most people (myself included!) put more weight back on after finishing the diet is cos they think its a ticket to eat c**p again

Well Im hoping Ive lost some weight due to lambing.

I have looked at slimming world and tesco diet but as per usual didnt quite make a commitment to either. I think for me its too easy to eat crap quickly and get stuck in a rut.

I know quite a few people who've lost a lot on weight watchers BUT they all put it all back on when they finished so be careful when you're finished x

Im doing weight watchers at the moment and have lost just over half a stone in 3 weeks. Im really pleased with it. Ive done slimmers world and am finding w.w muh easier. Im a fussy eater and dont eat a great deal of veg so slimmers was no good for me because on red days i had nothing to go with my meat :-/. I did loose a decent amount of weight on slimmers tho and i think both diets are pretty good but w.w is the best one for me

They have a website, think its just www.slimmingworld.co.uk

There is info on there and it tells you where your nearest meeting is and times etc.

Dont think there is much info on there about the meal plans though as i think they want you to actually join cuz otherwise they wouldnt make any money as everyone would just be able to follow it off the website and never go!!

But basically there are 3 days red, green and orange. You can pick which day you do i mainly do orange as i find it easiest but some people do just green some just red and some a combo of all three.

Red days you can eat as much lean meat as you want and veggies, fruit and salad but pasta, potatoes etc are restricted.

Green days you can eat as much pasta, rice, potatoes as you want plus fruit and veg but meat is restricted.

Orange days you can eat as much pasta meat potatoes veg fruit and everything you want.

You get healthy extras between 2-4 a day which are milk, cheese, bread, cereals etc depending on which colour day you are following.

Then you get up to 15 syns a day which is for things like chocolate, crisps, butter and fats and things that are processed or obviously contain alot of calories.

So thats a very basic overview of slimming world, hope that helps

I've heard a lot about slimming world and it has all been good.

How do you find out more about it please?

I want to slim down and tone up for summer too.. but I can't be bothered joining a group or following certain programmes.. so I'm in the process of doing my own method which is: Halving my portions completely - even down to a chocolate biscuit! so far so good - been doing that for a week and lost 1kg! I'm also going to take up cycling once a week - would like to do more but litrally flat out as it is!! lol

Ive done weight watchers in the past and it does work but its hard to stick to and you have to really watch what you eat.

Now im doing slimming world which i find alot easier and you can eat more and still lose heaps of weight. So far ive lost about a stone in 7 weeks or so

[/quote]

Totally agree! I lost 2 stone on weight watcher but put it back on plus 2 stone

Am currently following slimming world and find it much easier, I'm not thinking so much about what I'm eating and find I'm not really getting hungry or wanting to binge so much. I do feel it promotes a much healthier attitude to food/ eating.

I did slimming world for oooh about 2 minutes, I mean weeks, and found it excellent! Lost loads of weight really easily, and never felt hungry!

My problem is that I was a stay at home mum when I did it, so had time to faff about cooking low fat home made chips, and checking points etc, but now that I'm a single working mum, and studying, I just can't find the energy ..... hence the dress sizes slowly but surely increasing

Doesn't help that Lil Man eats both his main meals at nursery, so I don't feel obliged to cook healthily for him - I just eat a crap tea once he is in bed!

I did the Rosemary Conley club/diet. Was very good as they had fitness classes aswell (u didnt have to do them). Lost 1 + 1/2 stone, for my wedding. Very easy to follow. I never thought I could do it. But this worked for me. I have heard good things about weight watchers too though.
