Slimming World - whos using and losing?

[katiec]

Hi

Am interested to know if any of you are doing Slimming World and how its going?
Haivng looked at their website i find it amazing that they expect you to eat 6 low fat cheese triangles with ham and veg at lunch - 6!!!!!!

I am not that overweight - probably about stone and I use this as an excuse that I dont need to diet... however I am starting to think (hope ) that losing that stone would make all the difference as i constantly go from "Its only half a stone, I dont look that fat - who cares" to "I feel fat and have NOTHING to wear again!!!"

My other problem is that I go to the gym/run 3/4 times a week and I also use this as an excuse to eat tons of food coz I deserve it as i've trained !!!!

I tried Cambridge Diet for a while earlier this year - well Monday to Fridays anyway and lost around 4 lb in total - what a waste and all i fancied eating ALL the time was spinach and goats cheese pizza!! Not really very good when you're faced with a watery cupasoup!!!

I'd be interested to know in how you find it - a friend is going and i'm thinking about going with her on Tuesday.

Share those success stories with me (as I munch on my last chocolate biscuit )

Many thanks

WOW 5 1/2Lbs is great - congratulations!

I'd be nearly half way to my target weigh loss!!!

Just a quick q - can you have marshmellows? A bit of a weakness at the moment!!

yes you can have marshmallows, they are synned. saisnburys do a bag of sugar free ones for around 5 syns

SW is fab and to me its more of a healthy lifestyle rather than a diet.
it know a couple of good forums that i use, i could never afford to go to group.

great news on the marshmallows I have to go to a meeting, just for the discipline, i know i couldnt do it on my own after trying a couple of times and failing each time. well done you!

i also just joined last week....have my first weigh in tomorow..

Ive not found it that hard to follow (on the extra easy ), but have had my weak moments ....lol, i find it hard when out knowing what to eat sometimes, and its hard to work out the sins of some stuff they dont list, ie my hubbys butternut squash cakes i ate a ton of yesterday....lol

Im sure once its not all as new and ive bought some more books ill get there...also we didnt have takeaway last week for the first week in ages, so thats always a good thing...will let you know how i got on.

If yo pm me ill give you the online code, it changes every week, so you can log on and see the members area.

good luck.
the butternut squash cake sounds good......do you have a recipe?
when i have takeaways i tend to stick to 1 or 2 dishes. chinese is great as its very low synned.

think thats the only thing i miss- the online password.
although the password changes each week, they do last for 2 weeks.
just handy to know
