Hello Slimmer's
I have spent the afternoon chatting to three consultants I am friends with & also one of my Slimming World buddies Selina who enjoys doing the Success Express plan.

Now I have sussed it out & understand it I want to give it a try this week.
Thought I'd make this thread so that I could share my meals & so you can help me make sure I am doing it correctly.

Also here is how you do the Success Express if you are unsure

Love Stacey x

♥ WANT TO BOOST YOUR WEIGHTLOSS? ♥
♥ ♥ THEN TRY SUCCESS EXPRESS ♥ ♥

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS.......

♥ HAVE 3 MEALS A DAY

♥ EACH MEAL MUST HAVE 2/3 OF THE PLATE FULL OF SUPER FREE FOODS

♥ 1/3 OF YOUR PLATE MUST BE FREE FOODS FROM THE GREEN & ORIGINAL PLAN (YOU CAN ENJOY FOOD FROM BOTH PLANS OR FROM JUST ONE IF YOU WISH).

♥ CHOOSE YOUR HEALTHY EXTRAS. CHOOSE 1 OR 2 HEALTHY EXTRA A CHOICES & 2 HEALTHY EXTRA B CHOICES (THESE CAN BE USED AS PART OF THE MEAL).

♥ ANY SNACKS YOU EAT INBETWEEN MEALS MUST BE ONLY SUPERFREE FOODS (FOR EXAMPLE FRUIT & SYN FREE YOGURTS).

♥ STILL ENJOY BETWEEN 5-15 SYNS A DAY (ONLY RULE ON SUCCESS EXPRESS IS YOU HAVE TO COUNT THE HIGHER SYN VALUE..........FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU WERE TO HAVE A SAUSAGE THEN YOU WOULD COUNT THE SYNS AS A GREEN DAY).

♥ ENJOY & HAPPY SLIMMING ♥

And here's my first meal.........

I have decided that I am going to join Slimming World when I move back home in May :) I am fed up of being overweight and I simply lack the motivation to lose weight by myself, I think I need the support of other people to help me do it. Been overweight as long as I can remember and now I am determined to do something about it!

Thats kinda how i felt:( but slimming world has been brilliant! and pretty easy when you understand the plan, theres load's of really good food to eat and plenty of treat's, i think it also taught me that I'm not really into chocolate its just a boredom thing and also that i emotionally eat which i never knew but now i am able to look out for those trigger's and stop them before they become destructive to my weight loss.

Good luck with it, you'll love it!
 
Thanks, I'm looking forward to it!
I think I emotionally eat too, I'm not happy at Uni which is why I'm moving home in May, and while I've been here I've been eating a chocolate bar during lecture breaks, or a bag of crisps. Co Op is 5 minutes down the road and they always have offers on unhealthy stuff! :( I've given up chocolate for lent this year and it's showing me how much I eat it normally - the amount of times each day that I think "Oooh, I'll get some chocolate...Oh no, I can't!" is shocking! It's showing me I really don't need chocolate! After lent I am going to try and have just one or two days a week where I am allowed chocolate :)
 
For me slimming world work's because there is nothing I'm not allowed, i dont feel I'm missing out so don't deny yourself anything as it will make you want it more!

I shall try that when nearer target I reckon:)

Does anyone find if they eat more 'fatty' foods they get gut ache - I've only had spaghetti with a homemade tomato pasta sauce tonight but made it for Mum and me and Mum hates frylight and my skins been dry so thought I'd use a tiny bit of hemp oil to do the onions in - also made a tofu choc mousse - nothing really high fat but have now got bad stomach ache.

Noticed this before after eating large/slightly more fatty meals but don't know if it's onions or fat or what just annoying. May mean I'm up half the night now with stomach ache.

My skins also been dry/puffy recently - thought that was tiredness/late nights or alcohol as had a beer on Thursday and a glass of wine Fri as syns. It could be lack of essential fatty acids in the diet - only thing that helps is my organic hemp oil.

Or maybe I need more fibre or less salt.

Wish I knew!
 
Yeah too much fat and i get stomach cramps which is good because it makes me not want to eat it again lol
 
Think it's stomach cramps I have!

Had to have some pepto bismol medicine as won't get any sleep until stomach settles.

So think note to self - smaller portions, limit tofu mousse to very small portions, and think I'm going back to buying a tiny 1 glass bottle of M&S wine for the weekend. Not much onion either as does not seem to suit me.

8 hours sleep not 6 a night would be good but won't happen until my hols at Easterrolleyes
 
Ok I give in :)) I've decided to start Slimming World buuuut not go to the classes as I'm a pauper at this stage. I've got the set of books my mum lost then found after she had replaced them and access to the online bit with loads of recipes and the syn online thingy.
So yeah, I'll post back in a week if I have any luck. If you never hear from me again in this thread you shall know why :))
I'm feeling positive though, the diet looks less like a diet and more like a lifestyle! So despite needing to lose at least 3 stone I think I can do it.

I'm thinking of doing the same as you for the time being, as I am at uni at the moment and don't have time to attend classes until I move home :) But I'd like to get started asap!

Which books would everybody reccommend purchasing to start off with?

I'm going to start ignoring this thread, you are all doing so well, and so should i be but i just am not, i think i must have an overactive thyroid, or under active not sure but there must be a reason nothing happening.
 
Awww sorry your not losing:(

I've only lost about 3lb in March really on a go slow at the mo.

Did lose 1.5lb today but I seems to be maintaining more than losing at the mo.
 
Just had a cheeky weigh (not meant to weigh myself until Monday) and I've lost 2 pounds :) I'm loving this diet as I can eat the same amount but of the right kinds of food! Quiche later yum yum.

Well I just joined a meeting and the consultant rattled off her new starters speel so quickly i could hardly register it and she was totally uninterested in what I wanted to acheive etc. Really disappointed. Plus the books etc that I was given are just more of the same really. I need someone to help me put a shopping list together and recipes for the week including lunches that I can take to work. It all just seems too much i'm totally depressed and drinking a large glass of wine feeling completely disappointed 8...
 
Don't worry, i couldn't work it out for the first 3 day's you will be fine. basically you need to choose one of 3 plan's green red or extra easy i've found i can't live without fry lite and passata in the cupboard herbs spice's soya sauce red wine vinegar frozen veg is good and cheap even mushrooms and pepper's for cooking try this site for recipes http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/
i make alot of tomato based thing's like spag bol or mealball's also potato wedges are easier than the slimming world chip's with a bit of paprika on them they are lovely.
