Advantages: I'll let you know as I progress Disadvantages: The weighing in bit - painful!!!!
...The other night I joined Slimming World - swallowed my pride after swallowing too many pies, I took the first step to a new way of living!
What I'm going to be doing here is just give you an insight on the diet on a week to week basis, letting you know how I've done, how I'm coping with the diet plan and how much support I'm getting from the Team Leader.
The diet basically consists of the Green and the Red day. Well I did green yesterday, and himself ... ...so!) I brought the Slimming World Magazine (£2.95 or £1.50 for members), looking for inspiration - I found it! The magazine is full of brilliant ideas, containing an eating plan for you to follow if you like, and inspirantional stories. It gave me a reality check, this is not an overnight process and will take time.
I felt I had some of my dieting zing back when I read about a girl who lost 12st 2lbs - it took her four years, she admitted she had ...

Advantages: more energy,better fitting clothes and better health Disadvantages: CLASSES ARE A LITTLE CHILDISH
...a brand new opinion on Slimming World,because i have now reached my target weight.I lost two stone.
As someone who used to eat like food may go out of fashion,this slimming club has changed my life.
I would love to tell you how and maybe help someone else.
Having plenty to eat and no forbidden foods is every slimmers dream.
It sounds too good to be true, but it's the basis of Slimming World's Food Optimising Plan.The famous eating plan gives ... ...i am so pleased with Slimming World's eating plan.
I remained a member for nearly a year with a satisfactory weight loss.
I lost the plot a couple of times but was helped back on track by the consultant.
Two stones was the total weight loss,and it's stayed within three pounds of this.
Ihave left now and i buy the SLIMMING WORLD magazine for £1.95 a month it contains plenty of tips and recipes.
By the way men are making up the number in the class ...

Advantages: You can eat loads and drink alcohol too! Disadvantages: Roast Potatoes are out!
...quite fat! I joined Slimming World in Spring and have lost a total of 1 stone! I go weekly and it is an incentive to be good because you know you are going to be weighed. Its nice to see people losing weight and gaining confidence and we all clap if someone has lost weight. Some people have lots loads of weight, and they bring photo's in to show us what they were like.
It's an excellent way to lose weight as you don't feel hungry, can have loads ...
...As a member of Slimming World I must say I would recommend it to anyone who feels they need to loose a bit of weight. Slimming World works on an Original and Green basis. On Original days the focus is on meat products with them being your free foods that you can eat as much of these foods as you like. You then add your healthy extras such as milk, cheese etc. On green days the focus is on pasta's, vegetables and the such so you fill your plate with ... ...card that hold all my Slimming World details.....I hate this system as it rarely works :o(. It really is a pain in the neck!!! You end up waiting around for atleast 45 minutes whilst they try and get the system up and running but then be told that it isn't working :o(. My morning class will also be changing to this system very soon to and I hope it works OK for them as otherwise we'll never get weighed. The thing I like about it though is that because ...

Review of Slimming World
Advantages: You will never be hungy Disadvantages: None that I can see
Having tried every died club ever formed I think this is the best. Not only is it a very friendly type of club IT WORKS. You do not need to count calories nor is is linked to any faddy diet idea. You can eat as much as you like of meat products on a red day and pasta etc on a green day so there is never a time when you will feel hungry. I have always found night time a big temptation to eat, but on this plan there is always something that you can ... ...I dont mean a bit of lettuce or a tomato, something more satifiying. There is a magazine, a web site and now a television programe produced by 'Slimming World'. I would advise anyone with a weight problem (even those without one) to at least have a look at these. You will be amazed at the results and just how easy it is to eat plenty and loose weight. So forget about all these clubs that put you on a DIET and go for the sensible eating plan that ...

...accident that I found the Slimming World diet. I happened to be in the Newsagents looking for a bit of motivation and scanning the magazine rack when their bi-monthly magazine caught my attention - I'm so glad I bought it because now its the only diet I seem to be able to lose weight on.
Its all about food combining - sort of Carbs one day Proteins another - or all Carbs if you wish - or vice versa. Slimming World call this way of eating Food Optimising.
... ...to purchase the books from Slimming World to see what Syns are in each food because there is no way of working it out for yourself and no calculator like Weight Watchers.
Foods that aren’t free carry quite a hefty amount of Syns – for example a packet of Wotsits will cost you around 7 Syns! And the Syns value of each food will vary depending on whether you are having a Green day or a Red day – sounds really confusing I know but it isn’t once you ...

the joining fee was £10 but i took advantage of one of their frequent offers waiving this and if you time it right , by not joining at a traditional time, you can too. the class fees are £3.75, but this is money well spent.

Advantages: plenty of food to choose Disadvantages: can get confused mixing meat with carbo foods
...I have rejoined Slimming World for the second time. The first time I lost a stone and a half, but then lost the plot completely and put it back on. I had 6 weeks off before xmas and rejoined 2 or 3rd January and it has gone from bad to worse have only lost 2lbs in 3 weeks terrible isn't it. I am sure my brain has switched off completely and refuses to accept that I am eating Muller Light yoghurts, fruit, tons of veg etc.
Our class leader is very ... ...any free joining offers with Slimming World unlike WW.
The worst most disgusting diet I tried was something called Lipotrim (I think it was called) that doctors in hospitals were recommending. Liquid milkshake (absolutely awful). You'd kill for a plate of peas after a week on it then there was the carbohydrate withdrawal, banging headache for a couple of days. Give me any of the slimming clubs anyday compared to that. ...

Advantages: Fun, healthy and more importantly effective way to lose weight Disadvantages: The weight in the first place
I joined slimming world 11 weeks ago! And to date I have lost 1 stone 12lbs, hoping to make it 2 stone by tonight! I am the kind of person I am sure you can relate to,
- I get bored easily
- Get embarrassed about my weight
- Ate too much of the bad stuff and not enough of the good.
- have attempted various other diets either to give up, put back on weight and become totally disheartened by it all.
Slimming world has really given me an incentive ... ...another!
The main aim of slimming world was obvious from the outset, they wanted to help us to change our lifestyle in a way that does not rule out any type of food or drink, yes that's right you are allowed chocolate and alcohol! This is what is so good about this diet, it is more realistic in it's aims, it's not as if you are going to be able to stick at something that completely rules out your favourite food!

Advantages: Good Support, healthy eating plans Disadvantages: Cost.
I have done the Slimming World diet on and off for over 18 years! At one time I was a Slimming World consultant myself.
I recently moved to a town after living in a country village for the last ten years and after piling on the weight, yet again, decided to track down the nearest Slimming World class. I found all the information on their very good website. So I duly went along to my first class. The diet plan had changed quite a bit since I had ... ...price is comparable with other slimming organisations though. Overall I think Slimming World is good but like most things you need will power as well. I managed to lose a stone with them. The bad thing is the consultant left and we were never certain who was going to be running the class. That is when I kind of lost motivation. I would recommend Slimming World but I think it would help if you went with somebody else to help each other along ...

...what I eat.
Finding the Slimming World diet was such a relief. After my second baby I was on my way to obesity, I tried Weight Watchers and a few faddy diets but they always lasted about 2-3 weeks.
My mum had started Slimming World and lost nearly 2 stone, I was very sceptical but joined a group (I hate joining groups!).
To cut a long story short I lost over 3 stone in 8 months and have found a diet that I can take up again whenever I need to.

Advantages: good if you have lot to lose and need motivation Disadvantages: can be expensive, a bit faddy, as soon as u stop weight comes back on
I first discovered slimming world through a relative.
At first I was sceptical, but I gave it a go.
You can choose to be on the red original plan or the green veggie plan or mix and match days.
I chose the red plan.
It entailed you could eat as much lean meat as you wanted per day, you had healthy extras to choose per day, you had to have these, and also your milk allowance, and then you got sins depending on your weight, the sins could be used ... ...on the red diet, things like potatoes, bread, pasta, etc had to be counted as healthy extras if applicable or used in sins.
It is about not mixing proteins and carbos together.
I started the day with a pack of wafer thin bacon grilled, and scrambled eggs, on a couple of slices of diet brand brown bread.
lunch would maybe consist of tuna salad, or jacket potato (using my sins and healthy extras here)
dinner would be more meat, roast chicken, and ...

...A friend introduced me to slimming world having lost 2 stone with the plan and kept it off for 2 years.
Membership and classes are pricey but it is free once you reach your target weight.
Its all about food optimisation and not mixing carbohydrates and proteins. Its a low fat diet but you can sin on crisps and chocolate.
I only lost 2lb on my first week but I kept loosing and I've lost a stone in 5 months.
I'm aiming to loose another stone too!
