I have got a job interview soon & realised my suit that I have always worn for previous job interviews will not fit me anymore. Its been almost 3 years since I went for a new job & back then I was a size 14. So went to Asda today & treated myself to a formal dress in a size 8. Feeling really good about myself at the moment & really praying I will get this job :) Happy Slimming everyone :(|):(|):(|)

I lost 1lbs this week, 2lbs left until target now woo hoo!x
 
Heyy, I think I might have posted earlier about being on Weight Watchers, it just isn't working for me now, I've been on it nearly a year and I've gone up and down from my starting point and am just lost.

I'm considering joining Slimming World on Monday (Monday after bank holiday) but aren't quite sure they are offering what they say? Can anyone who's done the diet for longer than 6 months explain to me how they groups go and how the diet actually works? E.g I know you can eat green, red foods or this new plan (where tou have free foods you can eat as much as you like) and does that mean as much as you like? or do you need to learn to portion?
 
I have been going for just over 3 month's and have lost just over 2 stone, I am on the extra easy plan and the idea is you balance your food you can have a 3rd plate of meat 3rd of potato/pasta 3rd of fruit/veg,
i think it works for all people because not everyone eats the same amout so you can have large portion's if you want/need to for a while you will still lose weight, that won't last for ever tho and at some point you will probably have to adjust portion size.

it's not a diet it's just common sense over eater's like me tend to ignore lol like eat plenty of fruit and veg ,make your own spag bol sauce as jar's have alot of calories/fat home made is really easy healthier and cheaper.

you can still have treats everyday and/or takeaway every week (chow mein is only 6/7 syns out of an allowance of 15 a day)
it initially take's some planning of menus for shopping so you know exactly what your eating and when but it get's alot easier and some of it is even second nature to me now.

Groups are good for information and support when if struggling free recipes and for getting certificate's at every half stone or slimmer of the week/month, it sound's silly but certificate's really do help break it down going for my 2.5 stone award takes my mind off that i still want to lose 1.5 stone so i only worry about the next few pound's rather than the next 21.

I still enjoy it, my weight loss has slowed down a little as i have already lost a fair bit and having the kids off school has made me a bit lazy but i am still losing and will be 100% back on plan after tomorrows barbeque lol
 
I'm used to the food planning, I cook everything from scratch, I never cook from processed, but Weight Watchers (old one) I'm on 22 points, after main meals I have like 4 points left over so if I'm hungry I can barely eat anything. The portions they have are stupid as well, I mean you look at what they show on recipes and don't realise they're serving it on a 'side dish' not a full sized dish.

Losing 2 stone would be good enough for me, I have 5 to lose in all, but just to get into the 13's would be fantastic, I bet I'd feel so much fitter I'd start running which is something I desperately want to do but with 38J's and being under confidence, runnning sounds like a nightmare to me if I'm not somewhere no-one can see me.
 
Go for it, I've been doing it (off and on) for a month now and i've lost 7lbs, doesn't sound alot but i've not been strictly sticking to it. I'm feeling so much better mentally I think all the fruit and veg is really helping me feel better about myself, I've also lost at least an inch all round so even though the weight isn't much it is definitely noticable in clothes size and I think that's the key thing xx:))
 
Slimming World is a fantastic eating plan, it is not restrictive and does not make you feel deprived of any foods :)
It's made to be something you can follow for life, Its so much better than Weight Watchers.

I make tons of lovely meals and if I fancy a takeaway or drinks I use my syns to enjoy them or even adapt a takeaway meal and make it slimming friendly.

If you are losing 1-2lbs a week this is a really healthy weight loss to go for so keep up the good work.
I have been doing the plan now for over 2 years and absolutely love it.

Well, I went back - I've put a stone on since Christmas now! :(

But, its a new start, new beginning and I'm going to do it this time. Straight after the class, I went away and got myself organised with my grocery shop.........I am now on a mission! :)

Definitely the key to it all is to be organised and plan ahead! Bought myself a large jar of pickled onions to keep me going.......and the class consultant recommends them for keeping sweet cravings at bay!
 
Well done! I lost 3lb on my first week and 4 on my second I'm back to group weds after 5 weeks off plan but I was ill last week. Hope your enjoying the plan as much as I do xx
 
Well done to everyone on your losses, i have been on holiday for a week so weigh in is tomorrow. Wonder what damage ive done lol x
