Slimming Magazine

  • Hi
    Don't know if anyone buys this...I just bought it for the first time yesterday and it isn't too bad. The main point for this post is that it comes with a food diary for free and you can send off for a fat percentage measuring thingy also for free. The diary is so cool, each month it has tips on how to lose weight and encouragement and stuff. I need to write my stuff down or I forget really easily what I've had!!! Plus, at the moment it is one of the magazines in the 'buy 2 of these save £1' at Asda so yesterday I got Slimming for £2.60 and got Closer (£1) essentially for free and this week Closer has Jade's diet in it (might be interesting!!!)
    Hope that all made sense!

  • I have the food diary got it last year as well... that's good that you can get Closer for free, I like the 'what's in your fridge' bit.
  • Me too...I'm never convinced though that it is true...if they asked about my fridge I'd lie and say I have carrots and evian and stuff when really I have vegan chocolate...
  • I like Boost! magazine by Scottish Slimmers. If there was a group near me, I'd join it, coz it's so sensible. The nearest one is Middleton, which isn't much good. I love that they feature dieters like a lady who took 9 years to lose 13 stone.
  • i got a slimming magazine once, cost me a fortune and nothing in it interested me at all, all these meals they suggest we try look so complicated to make and half the time i never have the ingrediants in the house
  • I saw Jade's diet yesterday - well the cover of the mag. If a diet does that to your body - I don't wanna try it! Was it just me or did the *After* pic look as fat as the *before*?

    The fat % thing sounds good so I'll look out for 'Slimming'. I get the Rosemary Conley mag which is out every 2 months. I get it mainly for the recipes which are outstanding - but I find the slimmers' stories inspirational too.
  • I never read slimming mags, although I do enjoy a good laugh at the celebrity diets from time to time in the other mags. I particularly laugh at all the "amazing weight loss" stories where a skinny celeb got pregnant and then lost the baby weight. I know it still takes effort, but it's not like they had never been skinny before.
  • Oh that annoys me, it is like babies don't weigh anything. 'I lost a stone'
    Yes you gave birth!
  • Helen, where did you get your countdown clock on your berlin blog!
  • I'll PM you the code
  • Thanx for that!
