Hi, I have just started the Slimming world diet. I would love to hear from peopel who are on this diet or have previously done it!i have about a stone and a half to loose!

I lost 50 pounds on it last year then stopped it and put it all back on. It is a good plan to follow even though I can't quite stick to it at the moment myself.

Hi Angel
I'm on it too. The first couple of weeks I ate for Wales, and still lost weight. It's a bit complicated though, and I really miss my bread. I'm having a bad week this week, started off bad and gone down hill. I will be starting again on friday after my weigh in on thursday and hope we can keep in touch, I have loads of recipes I have'nt got around to trying yet, there's always one ingredient missing in the store cupboard. I'll keep you posted. Good luck.

You have done really well That is brilliant!keep up the good work

Hi Angel... welcome, welcome, come and chat every day, whether it be a good one or a bad one (we all have em)

Slimming world is a great plan, I do WW myself when I'm being good.. at the moment after a gain this past year, I'm maintaining, and need to lose again, I like being a LOSER

wow, it said i havent been on here since may of 2003. well i guess since then, i have been diet hopping and losing and gaining and pretty much staying the same wt. at 5'3, i just turned 40 and am teetering between 190 and 200. right now i am 193. aphil, i dont know if you remember me, but you (and many others) were so supportive of me. i really did appreciate it, but i guess i just wasnt there mentally to do this. i thought i was. anyway i am ready to do it the old fashioned way , by counting calories and excercising and making healthy decisions on what and how much i am going to eat. i hope you will accept me back. i need alot of help, i hope people can be patient and supportive of me. i will try as much as i can to give that support back, it is just that i feel funny trying to give advice and support to people when i am so messed up with myself about losing wt and getting healthy. i am getting used to a whole new work schedule and am very happy with it. i just have to change things right now, which needed to be changed before and my job change and taking chances was a very big first step. i thought once i did that , that my weight problems would dissappear, but again i was wrong. i am still doing all the wrong things when it comes to food. everything else in my life is pretty good. really! i need to change now!!!!!!!!! i just turned 40 in april. and once again i thought i would get it together when my 40th birthday came around. i am at my wits end and really just want to look at the calories on things decide to eat it or not. i went on www. caloriescount.com and filled out the right information and it says i can eat 1565 a day, which is alot more then i thought i could have to lose wt. i am 5'3 and weigh 193 and excercise at least 3 days a week for 30 mins. i know that will increase, i will do it.

thanks in advance for hopefully letting me join again and really getting serious about in now!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back willbethin Visit us more often...

ah man! sorry, i tried this once, i am from the usa and someone i chatted with was kind enough to send me a book about this, cause it isnt in the usa. it is very tempting but kind of hard and would encourage me to eat to much when i wasnt hungry. that is my main problem. if a food is free i am gonna eat it even if i am not hungry. i am not gonna learn how to eat this way. i thank you for the support, but i am afraid i posted this in the wrong section. good luck to everyone who attempts to lose weight this way. i mean on a original day, i could eat so much pasta and potatos, it can be a godsend, but as far as the sins go , i wouldnt be able to control them. it is a great program and i wish i could do it. who knows if calorie counting doesnt do it for me, i may need to come here and get all the support i can get and try this again. thank you so much. i am gonna try to go to the doin it the old fashioned way board, counting calories and excercising.

Hi, just wondering how everyone is doing on the diet? Its day 5 for me today and im still really enjoying this diet- bit worried about weighing myself on monday tho as i have been eating so much!!will let you know how it goes

Angel everyone worries about their first weigh in on sw, everyone thinks they won't lose as they have been eating so much! I hear it all the time. The reason I haven't been losing is I haven't been following the plan. I lost 3 stone on it last year it does work if you follow it.

thanks for your words of wisdom!i will let you know on monday how i get on-good luck with your diet over the weekend

hi guys, angel. i would love to know how you do. i quit after the first 3 days, cause i thought i wouldnt lose any weight on it. i just love to eat and i thought this was the answer, then i thought i couldnt possible lose weight eating the free foods, cause i could eat all day on them. i quit cause i wanted to be able to eat "normal" portions of food. i have been calorie counting for 3 days and i am full after my final meal and allotted calories then 2 hrs later i am hungry.

i am not from the uk, so i dont know how many syns i am allowed to have, if i tell you my stats maybe you could tell me how many i can have?? i am 40 yrs old, i am 5'3 and weigh 193 .lbs. i excercise at least 3 times a week for 30 mins. i am trying to increase that though. maybe if i know how many syns i can have i will attempt to do this again. do you go to meetings?? this would help me alot, i thank you in advance. and good luck to you.

You are allowed 5 -15 syns a day whatever your weight and height. It is basically 100 - 300 extra cals a days on non free food.
