I wouldn't do that diet. I lost weight with slimming world and it was soo easy. Plus I've kept it off. You never go hungry as can eat loads!

happyhappymummy · 14/06/2012 10:37

I have chosen to do it for 4 weeks.
Yes I believe the slimming world diet is very good. I will be going straight back onto that.
Day 4 and today I dont want to cry!

Hi I'm new to Cambridge any1 still doing it

FeathersMcGraw · 20/06/2012 14:48

I have been on it since October. I was doing step 2 810cals as I had a ropey gallbladder so I couldn't do SS.

I am now on step 3 1000 and exercising (Shred -ouch) and have lost 6 stone so far (4lb this week)- another 2 stone to go... I have had 3 weeks where I put on (1lb at Christmas, 6lbs post gall bladder op, but that was CO2 and it came off again plus more the next week Grin and 2lb over the Jubilee weekend - cake!).

There have been weeks where I've plateaued or lost just a pound but I've chipped away and it eventually comes off.

caring if you need to cheat eat lean chicken breast or low fat cottage cheese -as they are protein they won't kick you out of ketosis. I keep both in the fridge in case I'm feeling the need to eat and I usually find just a few mouthfuls do the trick.

Good luck everyone.

I'm on day 3, not feeling hungry. But i drink so much water i feel sick!

How is everybody getting on?

CaringMum28 · 21/06/2012 19:57

Cheated today- had cheese omelette at lunch with mushrooms at a cafe & sucked some sweets but didn't eat lol.
Whoops X

About to start tomorrow

I am 11 st 13 and intend to do it for 4 weeks in the hope it will put me to 10 stone something and a size 12. Currently a size 14. I know I am not huge or anything but have dithered at thi weight for too long and feel that a short, sharp shock is in order!
