How much have you lost on SW?

[whyistherumgone]

Hi all! So recently I was doing a loose low carb diet, then started the MM blood sugar diet for a little bit and it was really working for me. I've since been advised not to do a low carb diet at the moment, which is disappointing, and my doctor suggested slimming world might be a good way to go.

I'm just curious as to how much you have all lost? I'm thinking if I do do it, I'm not going to allow myself the 15 syns a day as I don't really snack a lot at the moment and I think that will lead to bad habits - I did slimming world a while ago and put on weight, and I think that was why.

I'm so disappointed at having to stop a diet that was getting results, that I could do with hearing some positive SW stories :) I have a stone to lose
Thank you!

I lost a stone. It was all I wanted to lose. Just small changes in my diet made the difference.
Took me 12 weeks though, a steady loss, no gains in that time.
I didn’t think it would work so I was delighted. Am maintaining the loss reasonably easily.

Thanks for posting @greenteaandchives that’s exactly what I needed to hear!

Last year I lost 2 stone, but slowly put it back on after a long stay in hospital. Trying to get my head back into it but it's tough

I lost 7 stone over 13 months, and am now working hard at not letting any creep back on. I tried to keep to about 6 syns week and up to 15 at the weekends.

6 syns on weekdays!

I lost 2 1/2 stone over about 6 months this time last year, so far I have managed to keep it off too!

1 stone in 6 weeks. Still going!

3st 10 in 9 months. Just over a stone to go

4.5 stone in 14 months. Hit Target this week so now trying to maintain starts. Am delighted and find it's a lifestyle change rather than a diet.

When I had my DD, I weighed 16st 4lbs. Now I weigh 11.13, this is after 2 years and still going. Lots of ups and downs but yeah slimming world gives results in my experience. Hope that helps xx

1st 2lbs in 6 weeks. Previously lost 2.5st over about 5 months.

4.5 stone over a year. Had 6 months off, put on 10lb & then re started - lost another 1.5 stone. Am now below target for the last year.
The diet is easy, maintaining is the hard bit!

Wow, you are all amazing! Well done on your losses - that's so much.
Congrats, I'm seriously impressed.

Thanks for posting, I was really on the fence as you know there's a lot of negativity on MN about SW, but as far as I can see it just seems like a structure for sensible and flexible eating. I think I'm going to give it a go!
You've all given me the boost I need, so thank you. :)

I really don't understand why Drs recommend slimming world all the time .

I've tried slimming world - I recommend weight watchers. Lost 1.5stone over a summer to get me to an "average" BMI, mostly through their "no count" food list approach, which would suit you very well if you're not into snacking.

I’ve lost 1st, 10lb over 9 weeks. I’ve got another 3st to go but hopefully that’ll be gone by the end of the year.

25lb ins 10 weeks. Still the same again to go really.

I use about 10 syns a day, but usually that's in meals. So maybe BBQ sauce with meat, salsa, salad dressing, sausages that are low syn, cheese (always use my Hex A for milk so I syn cheese)

A stone and a half - so easily...and healthily, eating a very balanced diet. have kept it off for a year.

8lbs in a month. I’m really enjoying it.

I joined in January when I was at my heaviest (not including my pregnancy/post pregnancy weight).

I was 11 st 10 and I’m 5’7. I’ve lost 10 lb so far and that’s including a week away on holiday at an all inclusive resort. Initially I was losing 2 lbs a week but it’s slowed down to around 1lb which hopefully means it’s more sustainable.

I really rate it and I rarely feel restricted in what I’m eating. I still have another 6lb to lose to hit target and then I’m hoping to lose a bit more.

I'm probably an anomaly, but I hit 3stone 1.5lbs off last night after just 12 weeks!!

Start weight 17st 9lbs
Current weight 14st 7.5 lbs

Normally i give up, but the random strangers from group really keep me on track and accountable as I would have given up before now if I didnt have group.

I know people will say my loss is unhealthy, however I have been eating three good meals a day with a snack if im feeling hungry and am not feeling deprived at all. Its from literally making 90% of what goes into my mouth from scratch instead of from a packet.

I've lost over 1.5 stone. I don't always stick to plan so probably would have lost a lot more if I had!

3.5 stone in 9 months. I've gone from a size 16/18 to a 10/12. Now happily maintaining and have been since last year.

Good luck

2 and a half stone in 7 months

Starting at 12 stone 11 about now at 10 stone 7.

Admittedly I haven't always stuck to it 100% and had off weeks and also honestly a nasty break up accounted for about half a stone of that and then a stone back on when we got back together

I've lost 4 stone

Why has your doctor advised you to stop low carbing?
