Hi have done weightwatchers in past and loved it and lost about 3 stone. Friend joined slimming world recently and I thought I'd go along too (still fat!). Have lost a stone in a month. Think either works so long as you stick to it!

Tried slimming world wasn't for me. Demonised avocados and touted shitty snack bars.

I'm with SW and love it
Joined pinch of mom on FB too

I have no experience with WW but all the women in my family rave about SW.

I joined SW on Tuesday as I have a couple of stone to lose. Looks easy enough to follow and won't get hungry.

Neither - 5:2 all the way. I've done WW multiple times in the past and it worked while I did it but wasn't sustainable for me long term as it just made me obsessed with food.

I have lot a lot of weight with sw and kept it off.

Have a look at the types of food and plans on both. Decide which you can best see being a future lifestyle for you and then take it from there

Lost 5 stone with SW very easy to followc

Slimming World worked for me but you do need to exercise self control when on it. When they say 'unlimited pasta' for example, you still need to be mindful of portion size and not take it literally. Weight watchers is a bit stricter and more controlled I think (or it was when I last did it), so I think it would depend on how much self-control you have over your diet.

I’ve done bothe and prefer sw

I think if you have a large appetite then SW is the best. If you have a smaller appetite then WW.

rollonoctober · 08/11/2018 22:20

I've done both, sw after DS2, ww after DS3. Lost 3 stone with both. Most diets work if you stick to them.

I would say that if your issue is portion control then ww will be better for resetting your expectation of what a sensible amount to eat is. If it's the food choices you make, then sw is good.
