Help! Slimfast or Slimming World? Deviating from Weightwatchers..

[edwardcullensotherwoman]

I've done WW on and off for 3 years, lost 2 stone initially, went back and maintained (should have been losing though ), left to have a baby then started back 2 months ago. I'm really struggling to stay on track, my mind just isn't on it. To be honest I lost it about when we converted to ProPoints.
Anyway, considering my loss of enthusiasm for the plan, I'm thinking of trying something different. A friend has suggested Slimfast (which she says has given her loads of energy - she looks fab) or Slimming World. SW looks better than when I looked into it 3 years ago, now they've ditched red and green days, but I just wanted to canvass opinions on both.

I cook most nights, but we do like takeaways - once or twice a week we'll have a chippy/indian/chinese/mcdonalds. I know its no good for weightloss but we enjoy it and moderate it.

Has anyone else been in this situation and found success elsewhere?

I switched from WeightWatchers to Slimming World when I started to find myself feeling hungry ALL the time and felt I needed more food. It was okay for the first week and I felt that I was able to eat a lot more, but it was very hard to get my head around the rules and quite restrictive in a lot of ways - WW is a lot more flexible IMO.

I only lasted 2 weeks on SW as it was too difficult to learn all the rules and I got bored with eating Mullerlights. I have just had my second baby and plan to defect to the 5:2 intermittent fasting diet to lose my baby weight (when I finish breastfeeding). I think it would fit in better with a regular takeaway habit - although eating takeaway twice a week sounds like a lot to me, whether you're looking to lose weight or not.
