Recently started slimming world online. I am 5ft 4 and weigh 9 st 10lb, just want to shift half a stone before hols. Have followed diet very well, found its very good, never been hungry etc. have had alternate red and green days, not gone mad on free foods e.g. Potatoes on green days, just eaten sensible portions. Had 5-8 syns per day (can have 5-15) and have just had first weigh in and have lost one sodding pound??? Am feeling very deflated. Has anybody else experienced this on skimming world? Got six weeks til holiday, weight loss seems very very minimal considering I have stuck to the diet - which is basically healthy eating. Thanks ;)

well i guess everyone is different i know its not for everyone. with ww i was sticking to the frozen meals and point counting. sure those ww meals are god awful!!!!! so i find sw so much better in that regard.

ikilledigglepiggle yup that is how I do it too. Just have salad instead of whatever the carb was in the meal and fruit and yog for breakfast. Choc and wine still a go go.

I have been really successful with WW in the past, never used the frozen meals just cooked fresh food so its not necessarily that disimilar to SW. I want to lose a bit of weight for my holiday so am trying SW this time so I don't have the added hassle of point counting. I prefer SW as I am never hungry but I hope I see the same results!

I have also got myself a personal trainer to kick my backside into shape!!
