Your Opinion on Slimmimg Clubs

[Val]

Right so I started out at
24.7
I am now
21.5
and Im doing OK

Its just that I miss the camaraderie of a diet group
The weekly weigh in and the chats about different slimming products..
Dont know what I would do if I didn't have you guys xxx

I have decided to go back to Slimming World in my opinion it is the best and healthiest diet anyway

The leader knows me, she knows I am banded and will not be eating the pasta and potato's unlimited, she also knows I am going for support and the W.I so she understands I am not doing the SW diet to the letter

I know I cannot be slimmer of the week and win the fruit basket..
But you know what its bigger than that..
I want the ultimate award at the end of my slimming journey.....LIFE

So what do you all think

I did SW for around 6 years, WW for 3, Rosemary Conley for a few months. I don't think group sessions are really my thing!

There are a few people on here who go to SW - if it helps, why not?

 

[Mazza]

If it works for you - why not!?

Slimming World has changed a lot, it's not just red and green days anymore - which for me where a nightmare pre op! Tell a person they can have as much rice and pasta as you want and boy will they. I never lost an ounce!

From what I gather its more protein, fruit and veg focused - so good for us lot.

Good luck xx

Thank you Mazza

I like it but you do have to know yourselves and a bit like hat minn says - you have to take from it what works for you.

the only important thing is what you think and what works for you. This is such an ongoing journey, one we can feel quite isolated on at times. My provider said today I can go for weekly weigh ins. But a 2+ hour round trip doesn't really work lol

I think the weigh ins etc help to keep on track and you feel as if there's some accountability and I think can help to spur us on - if it works off you Val, then Go for it

i think if its what works for you go for it! why not x xx

I love slimming world. Only been going for 3 weeks but I love the group setting. So nice to support people and be supported. My group lets me win slimmer of the week. I don't know why it is a problem because you have to follow it to stand a chance to win. Although I'm a 18 months out so I don't get any loses unless I'm a hundred percent focused. In fact I find I gain if I eat more than 1200 calories a day. I don't count any more now I'm doing this but it's working. Lost 6.5 on slimming world so far and it really does encourage you to eat well. I never worried about calcium and fibre before. Now I make sure I get it daily but obviously don't go over the top of the unlimited carbs like rice and potatoes. I have loads of free salads so I'm never hungry

Good luck Val, I hope it works for you!

I personally hated Slimming World. I hated the group meetings, they felt very patronising and the group was so big it went on FOREVER. I had to stay because I was NHS-funded. I also disagreed with the diet because there was no portion control, and I also found it very limited.

I much preferred Weight Watchers, mostly because I just went to get weighed, then left! I felt the points system worked much better for me.

Thank you all for your support and comments...I think the weekly weigh in will benefit me

Any way my friends I went tonight I enjoyed it very much the leader know fully that I am adapting the diet to fit in with my band and she is happy with that

Hi TK
I never thought to ask my provider if they do more regular weigh ins :/
maybe at next Fill I will chat about it, but as you say you have to travel some distance to get to the provider :/

lol, You are so right flutterby xxxx​

Loved the atmosphere all like minded people wanting to loose weight

I think when you are still hungry with your band until you get to restriction some of us need the extra support of a group ..so we will see how it go's xxx
