Slimming World

...lost 3 1/2 stone with slimming world and I have to be honest, I find it easy. The plan is simple to follow and in moderation and carefull planning, nights out and takeaways can be fitted in! I have been going to a local class for over a year which gives me a huge amount of support, along with tasty receipes and hints and tips. I have made lots of new friends and turned into the person I really am! If anyone out there reading this wants to lose weight ...
...you also get access to slimming worlds website which list everyfood available and gives its sin value. They give you the password each week to enable you to access it for free. For me it is well worth every penny cos the are full of ample support and ideas. The consultants are also very caring, always sending little notes throught the post to encourage you and to congratulate you. I have lost the same amount of weight as what me 6 year old daughter ...

Review of Slimming World

I had been on the slimming world diet back in 2002, I was on it for about 9 months or so. It is a good diet as you can eat almost anything that you want to because they have a sins points system in place, that means that all foods are given a sin valve, you are aloud to have between 5 and 15 sins a day, or you can do flexiable sins, so you can save a few for the weekend or an evening out, this means that if you are a lover of crisps as i am then ...
...as long as you count them into your sins for that day. The diet has been divided into two diferent groups, you can have a green day or a red day, or you can change between the two, so that one week could be green the next red and so on. I myself stayed on the green days all the time as I am a vegetarian, this made it so easy to follow as most diets are not made for a person who dose not eat or like meat. I was able to eat a lot more food in a day ...

Review of Slimming World

My mother and I joined a group a few months ago. The plan is fantastic and I got the grips with it very quickly, now I help my mom learn as she goes. We have both lost weight at a steady pace and enjoy exchanging tips and things of what we have eaten etc. I have to say that the discount my pensioner mtoher gets of 25p per week is rather pitiful, if your not going to give a good discount why bother giving one at all? The cost itself is maybe slightly ...
...The consulant we have is becauase its the only one we can both get too on the day we like to go, she is young and has been doing this for some years now I belive but she lacks any actual interest in you. Every week she goes round the room, says what you lost or gained, claps and asks you a question like "what did you do differently this week" or "do you need any help next week" or after someone has had a gain "are you happy with that?" these are ...

Review of Slimming World

I joined Slimming World in November 2001, as a 15 stone, size 20 woman. Now, 11 months later I am 11 1/2 stone, and have just bought my first pair of size 12 jeans. Not only do I feel much healthier, but I look a lot younger too. I have tried a lot of diets in the past, including the evil grapefruit diet, and the very non-tasty milkshakes, and none were successful. Until Slimming World. Now, I will be the first to admit that not everyone will succeed ...
...at it, and not cheat, it can really work. I am living proof. Not only is the plan very easy to follow, but if you find a good class they will become a great support group. The class I attend is fabulous, very friendly and supportive. One of our members has just edged past the 10 stone lost mark, in 18 months! Members like her really become an inspiration to keep going, and shed those ugly pounds. Please try this weight loss plan, you won't regret ...

I have since lost 4 stone 7 lbs. the weight loss isn't why I think slimming world is great it is because I have never been able to eat so much in my life with hardly any restrictions. yes I can even have chocolate(hooray). There are 2 types of days a red day ( this is mostly meat) and a green day ( pasta, rice , potato etc), you are ...
...can have a green day 7 days a week or alternate from red to green, there is a book to help you work out your syns.there is a lot of free foods like fruit and veg , eggs.

Review of Slimming World

I joined slimming world 6 weeks ago now. I have lost a total of 7lbs which doesnt seem a lot I know, but considering that I like a drink or 2 ( stellas preferred ) that is really good going. I incorporate my lagers into my sins allowance and have quite a few on a weekend especially. I love the concept that no food is a sin and everything is allowed even a huge chinese meal if that is your greatest desire. I find the plan very easy to follow, but ...
...and I have been on slimming world for a year. I find that it has become a way of life for me now, and so easy to follow. I reached my target weight between Christmas and New Year and have maintained it easily, which means that it costs me nothing to attend now. The members in my class have become like family and we share recipes and advice. Which has cut down the cost of having to buy every book they publish. My husband started this diet 17 weeks ...

Review of Slimming World

I have just joined my club this week and this is my first day on the diet. I know this may sound silly after only half a day but my mind set has changed - i was a little lethargic, etc previous but the whole thing of being in more control of my diet has helped me plan my meals better and on reading my member pack have found that have been reasonably good anyway in how we were eating as a family but our portions were all wrong. I cannot wait to get weighed next week the group in tonbridge were great and all very positive let's hope this is now my turning point. ...

Review of Slimming World

...totally agree with Reader1203 regarding Slimming World being costly - to be avoided if you are on a very low budget like myself and my family. I haven't seemed to learn my lesson though, because I have joined slimming world at least eight times, and I might add, failed miserably. When you first go into the meetings, you have to fill in your personal details on a form, and then the consultant has a little talk to the new members and answers any questions ...
...I found everything about Slimming World fantastic, the meetings are really warm and friendly, there is a brilliant magazine that is published about once a month, and a fantastic website that is actually free to Slimming World members,but I couldnt get on with the actual diet! Briefly, you have to choose one or two choices from the Healthy Extras list (A) and one or two choices from the Healthy Extras list (B) and then there are Green Days and Original ...

Review of Slimming World

I joined Slimming World in January 2001 after 2 years of consistently gaining weight and have lost almost 1 stone already. I had little faith in diets as I'd tried them all before but from the first week this was totally different. I never feel hungry as there are loads of free foods to eat and it's the first diet i've been on where I haven't felt guilty after eating. It's easy to follow and the sessions are great for the ego as there are lots of ...
...week! The website is great too. Bright and fun with a sins on-line section in which you just type in a product and it tells you how many sins are in it (you can have around 10 sins per day). This diet is flexible and healthy and i've honestly never felt better. JUST AN UPDATE - Forgot to mention - the web address is www.slimmingworld.com. Thanks for reminding me chrissypops! ...

I had seen a add in the paper advertising a group not far from me, and i decided to go along and see what it was all about. I get weighed on a Monday night, and my group is all really friendly, mostly older than me im the youngest there only 19, but theyre all so helpful and encouraging. I started the diet and was ...
...to worry about it. Slimming World consists of Green days which you can eat things like pasta, potatoes, rice and Red Days(original) when you can eat meat, chicken and fish. You also have A choices (healthy extra) that are milk and cheese etc and B choices which are bread and ceareals and potatoes etc. You also have 10-15 syns which you can use a day too, for things such as sauces or chocolate lol .... Since ive started slimming world ive done a ...

Review of Slimming World

slimming world is good as long as you keep going regulary. A lot depends on the leader of the club. Some leaders can be a bit boring so you dont want to stay for the full session. Other leaders can make it very interesting and it encourages you to keep to your diet. It can be sometimes a bit humiliating when you have not lost any weight as you know full well why you have not lost weight (or even gained weight as you have not stuck to the diet). However ...

...doing fine until she joined slimming world. After about 2 months, she had already lost 1.5 stone, but didnt stop there. She went to be weighed every week, they took her money, told her what to eat and what not to eat so she lost more and more weight. She doesnt look healthy anymore. She is only 5'3'' and only weighs 7.5 stone, she looks ill. These clubs are all to quick at taking your money they dont care about your health, it's just an easy way ...
