bethany725 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I joined yesterday We'll see how it goes! Thanks to everyone for all the info and support Ooooh good luck since you just joined!! We don't have Slimming World over here in the US that I know of, but from reading all the posts, it sounds like it's akin to Weight Watchers. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Princess Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 I think they have just lauched slimming world in America - they have a new plan to follow especially for the American market apparently. Anyway, have just been weighed this evening and have lost 3.5 pounds this week So i'm definately going to try my best to keep on going. It has been very easy so far, have mainly just been eating so much more fruit and veg than I ever have before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimera Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 A few people from work go, most have been successful. 1 person lost 7stone and another has lost 5stone! It seems there`s a lot of support. I guess it`s easier if initially you have a friend to go with too. Anyway, have just been weighed this evening and have lost 3.5 pounds this week ok I just need to check here... according to my converter a stone equals around 6,3 kg, is that right? Cause then you're saying people can lose 30 to 45 kgs with this program ??? Over what length of time? It sounds enormous! And 1,5 kg in a week sounds huge as well purple princess! Well done! I'm feeling really stupid now, wondering how I'm going to manage losing 5 or 10 kgs over the next few months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charm Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Well done Purple Princess!! I wonder if that's one I could cope with? Funny ... I was thinking the same thing! Edit: I mean of course that I could cope with, not that you could cope with! I'm sure you could cope with it no problem, I just dont know if I could cope with it ..... I'll shut up now.

Can we cope with it, do you think? Heck, if I could lose the kind of weight that Purple Princess is losing, I'd back at my target weight in about 5 months. PP - what else are you doing? Extra exercise? What do you think, Charm, should we give it a go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think, Charm, should we give it a go? Here, here, calm down there a wee bit! I only said I was thinking about it!! (*must learn to engage brain before pianoing away with fingers* ) Does extra typing count as exercise?? I did check it out and my nearest meeting is 15 miles away. Do you know if you can do it online? Maybe we could try that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceinwenn Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Oh I don't want to go to meetings! I just want to magically have all the info I need on the diet, eat the necessary food & *presto* the weight falls off. You mean to tell me that's not how it works? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kell Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Does anyone here use the Weight Watchers' system? Are you having any success with it? Do you have any tips for helping to keep you on track? Id love to know as I think I might start doing this system at home once I've stopped breastfeeding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I've done it lots (hmm maybe not that good then) I find it simple, healthy and easy to adapt for a family. Unfortunately I am very good at cheating on it now but that is me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Princess Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 PP - what else are you doing? Extra exercise? Nope I haven't been doing any extra exercise at all, if anything I did less than I would normally do! They do have an online membership available and you can buy all the books from the website. People are also selling them on eBay but some of them are selling for more than it actually costs to just go and join the group for one week and then leave! It is very easy for anyone who is thinking about joining, especially is your a fussy eater like I am (I'm a veggie) as I can just eat lots of the foods that I like which are free and forget about the rest. It is all mainly centered around healthy eating eg. lots of fruit and veg instead of crisps and chocolate but that just seems hard to stick too by yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the best way to do things but you can defiantly lose weight on it , I know of a guy that has lost a lot of weight living of ww foods , I did something similar myself a few years back when I had a lot of weight to lose (I was about the 21stone mark) , I think I dropped 4 stone in 3 months with a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
