Does slimming world work? And how quickly?

[Lillamyy1]

I'm desperate to lose my baby weight (3 stone!) So far have been calorie counting and trying not to eat carbs but I'm finding it difficult because I'm breastfeeding my 3 month old which makes me very hungry! Also it's difficult to find motivation as I don't have a to w to compete diet with. Would slimming world be a better option and has anyone lost a significant amount of weight in a few more baths while following it?

Fell, massively. Bloody autocorrect ????

beadyboo - how do you stop yourself becoming bored with salad?

Thank you bella total surprise :)

And thanks all for meals

Nandos - I never have chicken skin so is the syns for the rice or cheeee. Can't the A be for the cheeee?

Hang on, I didn't just have ham for dinner last night! Was either half asleep when I wrote that or my phone really ballsed up!
D - pasta with carbonara style sauce (made with quark. Don't use quark for sauces - it went really lumpy!)
Plus of course, a big side salad.

I do sometimes get bored with salad!
I try and make it more than just a bit of lettuce on the side. I shave raw fennel onto salads, add beetroot, multicoloured tomatoes, different leaves and herbs. Gherkins, chillies, a bit of fat free cottage cheese.
I occasionally use a few syns and add a couple of olives or a tiny bit of feta.
It's just about making it a bit different with each meal.
I eat a lot of veg too, but often fall down by eating a lot of free food and not enough superfree eg too many jackets and beans.

Go to topics and slimming world.
My thread is about food diaries and support 2.

I saw something with the woman on master chef the other day doing a lovely salad with shaved fennel and fresh mango. It looked delish!

Tesco do a pack of sweet and smoky beetroot which is sort of grated. It's about £1. It's delicious and completely perks up an otherwise boring salad.

I do not have a huge appetite but love my gin and slimline tonics. Do you think Slimming World or Weightwatchers would be best for me?

I have done ww for several times in the past, and to be fair I always lost weight on it (up to 2stone) I tried again earlier this year and found it really hard and hardly lost anything. Then I joined sw for the first time and have lost a stone in 6weeks. I use syns for g and t frequently as well as some other treats and its great because you can have those things and still have loads of choice for free foods. With ww I found if I wanted those treats then it left me little food left to eat xx

It's only been a week on slimming world I gained 1/2 pound 😒 my husband lost 2 & 1/2 pound 😀 But my slimming world rep said looking at my diary I'm not eating enough is that possible and still gain weight?

I lost 2st in four months before. Good luck X

Dear All.,

New to this forum.I am a mum to two girls aged 10 and 2 years old.

I have about 4 stone to lose and need that extra push and motivation.

I am glad there are other lovely mums out there whom I can learn from.

Regards.,

I have lost 2 and a half stone over the past 13 weeks! I've been taking it half a stone at a time, no big expectations as I have at least 4-5 stones left to lose and I don't want it to get to daunting. I eat eggs and whole meal bread for breakfast to help fill up, jacket potato with something like beans for lunch and lean meat with plenty of veg for tea, I have the occasional digestive in between and fruit. I drink mostly water. I have so much energy now I'm off the caffeine and sugar, I walk on average 6 miles a day now, I bought a Fitbit to help track what I'm up to so I can push myself if I can see I'm slacking.

As you can see it is possible to lose lots of weight on slimming world as long as you stick to plan. Write everything down.
