Online or group?

[Stardust123]

Hi, was going to join online today, I have been struggling to get to a group. However, it seems that you don't get access to lifeline online. Does this mean I can only search limited menus, syns etc.? Also, can I still plot my weight. What's the main difference between online and group? I find it a bit tedious listening to everyone's stories each week, but if online is not as good, I might have to stick it out. What does everyone think? Thank you.

I always go to group. Yes, its a bit samey week in week out and a lot of clapping, however its a good support network to sound out new ideas and get pointers and it kind of shames you into losing weight as the goup can hold you accountable.

I have lost weight many times over and by now im usually starting to falter and self sabotage, but the girls at group are keeping me strong and focussed. Its odd how a bunch of strangers are keeping me on track and when i reach target (3.5st left to go), i will keep on going week in week out

I have only ever done online so I don't know what lifeline is but I have access to a large database of syns and recipes to choose from. I have an online tracker diary which is great cos I would not remember to write anything down but my phone is always in my hand.
It suits me but I hate the qs and clapping, I did it at ww for years

Thanks, can you search the syns online like 'Aldi Chicken Pesto' and that sort of thing ?

I've joined online today and you have access to all syns, the syns calculator, diet diary, all the recipes. You can search for anything in the syn directory. I haven't noticed anything missing, I personally don't think group meetings are for me.

I do get bored at the groups at times, but I find they really help in the long run, as you get the support, the ideas, and sharing stories and tips with people who are all in the same (slightly sinking due to weight) boat ;)

Thanks everyone. I've joined online now and have also found a great Facebook page, 'Slimming World with Aldi'. As I do my weekly shop there, I have found it very helpful. Seems like a lot of resources on Slimming World Online too.
