Hello everyone
I am new to the forum and just wondered if anyone on here follows the Slimming World eating plan?
I have been a member of Slimming World since April 2009, I joined as I wanted to lose weight for my wedding which was April 2010.
I managed to get to target too :)
But now its just nice to swap and share recipes and inspiration etc.

So feel free to post any recipes or ideas here that we can share.
Love Stacey x
 
well done for getting to your target.

I did slimming world yonks ago, but now i do weight watchers. When i was on slimming world all i ate was smash and tins of w/w bolognese shells....i got far too addicted to it! lol

I say i do w/w, i dont go to classes as i cant afford them (see other post lol) but i do follow the diet, and i have lost 8 and half pound in 3 weeks which i am dead happy with.

I have also stopped going to class too hun. I just dont feel the need to spend time there now I'm at target plus ive managed to keep the weight off too. Usually when people stop going they gain it all back but I just bought myself a good set of scales and weigh in on friday mornings at home :)

8.5lbs is a fantastic loss though, keep up the good work.
Maybe we could be piggie and slimming buddies lol.
its always nice to have a buddy to keep you on your toes as losing weight is not easy.

I joined Slimming World 3 weeks ago and have lost 7.5lbs so far:)

Got a long way to go but liking the plan so far, it does seem to work.

I'm always on Green days as I'm vegan - love the SW chips but do seem to eat a lot of jacket pots and beans and rice pudding and fruit. Must start cooking more easy to 'veganise' a lot of recipes!

Looking to lose 3-4 stonerolleyes

Thought I'd miss alcohol, choc and crisps but not too bad so far, main thing I miss is the odd slice of cake, cereal and toast (still have 1 slice a day but use to have loads of bread)

Wow thats a fab loss honey. Keep up the good work.
I love Slimming World, its the only diet I've done which seems to satisfy my big appetite.

I have posted above some of the recipes I love, tonight I will post you a few more too if you are interested.
I tend to follow green days too.
i love potato and spinach bake, its a proper lovely comfort meal for me now with the weather getting colder too :)
x
 
Thanks:) I'm finding it the best diet I've followed ever! So much to eat and as I'm never hungry I'm not missing my old foods like choc/crisps. Thought I'd miss the wine/beer but no!

I'll read through the recipes later - any green ones are good for me but I have to alter those to make them vegan. Puds I get stuck with as most have dairy/egg in. Am rather keen on the rice pud - pure comfort food!

Aim of another half stone off by end of the month but not sure I'll manage it, would love to lose 2nd stone by Christmas, maintain over Christmas then lose another by my birthday end Feb and last one by Easter. Will just try my best and go with the flow:))

It sure is the best diet out there or should I say eating plan. Was never allowed to say diet lol...
I love the fact you can have so much lovely homecooked food and eat unlimited amounts of it.

I'm sure you will get there with the weight loss, mine was slow but I didnt give up. It took me 10 months to lose just over a stone.

I do like my alcohol too like you and I miss the meals out that we used to have alot of. I tend to use my syns more wisely now though lol x
