Starting SW Online

28 replies

OctoberOctober · 20/08/2016 12:36

Hi all

I'm thinking of starting SW online - would anyone recommend? I don't really like the idea of the groups and would prefer to come on here and talk to others who are following the plan rather than sit in a weekly meeting. But is there any point doing the online membership - £60 seems expensive for not a lot?

Hi whatsgoingon, Id love to chat. I'm liking the online version but feel like it should have a chat function, that's the only bit of group I miss! I had my first weigh in yesterday and lost 4lb in my first week which I was dead pleased with. I'm 10 stone 9 and need to get to 9 stone 12 to get into my normal range, which I'd like to do before pregnancy (although am actively ttc) so I can hopefully avoid gestational diabetes next time round! Ideally I'd like to get to 9 stone, but just going to focus on that healthy range first. Good luck x

Hi, I signed up this week too. I went to a group on Thursday and had the introductory talk which was very useful, but it's a huge group and the meetings last 1.5 hours which is no good for me as I need to get to work, so I went home and signed up for online.

I have to say I'm finding the desktop version of the website tricky to navigate and not very impressed with the app either, I was hoping for food logging and bar code scanning functionality. However the eating system itself seems very logical and quite straightforward. I just wish bread was a free food instead of potatoes/rice/pasta, all of which I could do without far more easily than bread. That's going to be my biggest challenge personally.

Hi everyone can I join in i signed up on line 2 weeks ago today 2nd weigh in due today. I went to group before for slimming word but due to strange shift patterns i work on a maternity ward ive gone online this time. Im the heavist ive ever been thanks to a combination of a very bad year and medications so aiming to 6 stone ideally. We shall see the bit im struggaling wit is eating enough food on it ive always skipped breakfast which i know is a bad thing to do.
