marking my place as I am sick of dieting but want a lifestyle change and slimming world is supposed to be that.

I would so love to go to Sliming World.

Is it like on Live and Kicking where you slither about in a load of gunge Grin

It didn't work for me, I'm afraid. I managed to put on 2lbs in 6 weeks.Sad On Weight Watchers I lost 3 and a half stone.Grin

I think you have just got to keep trying them out until one suits you. Lots of people have had good results with SW, so it can be done. Most importantly, at any of these weight loss 'clubs' is to like the person who runs it. I know that my local one runs a taster session so you can chat to other members before signing up. Maybe try that first.

Good luck.

It worked for me I lost 5 stone in a year x

Worked for me - lost my 3 stone i put on whilst pregnant. Didn't lose as much as I wanted to, but then I didn't carry on with it! I've kept it off too. Just get used to eating foods beginning with q (quorn, quark, quavers??). Good luck

working for me, & worked for my friend
i think it may be worth a try
if you dont eat that much obviously no point stuffing your self to an extreme on the free food just because you can! just do it sensibly and you will be fine i think?
ive lost nearly a stone on it and not been on it v long, just over a month

MissKGF · 10/08/2010 23:28

gave me cronic ibs...but i know some people it really worked for

Working for me at the moment. Have lost 26lbs since the end of February. I have IBS as well and I haven't found that it's worsened since joining SW. The focus seems to be on filling, low-fat food. The best thing to do if you have IBS is to ensure that you don't eat fruit immediately after a meal as this can really set off my symptoms. The groups are very cheesy (a la Fatfighters on Little Britain), but it's definitely worth giving it a go. Good luck!

I really want to do slimming world but the nearest group is 15min away and I dont have a car!! I got a welcome pack of ebay a while ago so may give it a go myself.. is it difficult to do?
