I did slimming world for a few weeks...and didnt keep up with the classes, it worked...but it got to the point where i was fed up with fruit etc and felt hungry alot, but it did make me think more about meals etc

Ive done slimming world and it worked really well. Theres no reason for to feel hungry as you can eat unlimited free foods. On a green day you can have unlimited pasta, rice, potatoes, quorn and lots more and on a red day you can have unlimited meat etc (its up to you what day you choose), then you get healthy extras which give you your bread, milk etc and everything else is counted in sins. Its an easy diet and it does work as you dont feel deprived.

I am doing SW at the moment. I don't go to the classes as they don't have them here in NI but I have the books and am DIYing.

I have lost 10lbs so far (in 4 weeks) and am hoping to lose another 18 before we go to WDW in September.

I think, as with all diets, it suits some people better than others. I find it very easy to do and don't tend to get hungry at all. I tend to have fruit for breakfast and mid-morning, toast or a sandwich (wholemeal bread) for lunch and chicken or pork with jacket potato and veg for tea.

If you are an out-and-out carnivore (like me) then you may find it will suit you very well. I'm not sure how well the body optimise on-line thing works because you may have to keep checking the net for what you can and can't have but if you are able to log-on constantly then you should be fine.

You will probably find that you get to know fairly quickly what you can eat though.

Good luck.

i did try sw but found I couldnt put together meals

so I have been doing weight watchers for 3 months and have lost 4 stone 2 lb. I find it easier as you can still eat food that you normally do just less and i can have meat and pasta together. I dont go to meetings I just do it on line
