    I used to love pasta. I lived off it every main meal would have pasta in it some how. Since I've had to go GF I've barely had any. I swear they make GF food out of cardboard the only things I've found I like are the cracker breads (been living on them) and coconut rings with jam.

    They are nice but not as a total replacement, anyhoo, we need a certain amount of carbs for energy, just need to be careful with them

    True, when you look at where you find carbs it's mental, I never thought they were on veg etc but when you think of it its pretty much just sugar isn't it? Just been to the gym for my pt session - don't think I will be walking tomorrow :-)

    Anyone else on $1imming W0r1d here? I just joined last week and quite liking it so far, I'm not been as strict as I should be as I love food too much but I'll still lose a little hopefully!! x

    Jumped on the scales ( well not literally) and lost 3-4lbs (depending on what day I weighed and when) in the past week.

    I lost 2lbs in my first week, I'm only in the middle of my 2nd week. Try wearing the same/similar clothes each weigh in day! Let us know how you do :)

    wowsa I was miles behind!

    I fell off the 90 day SSS wagon, I found the exercise okay but the meal plan was killer, so much mince and portions massive, I am going to try and mix slimming world and SSS together, so my exercise from SSS with food from SW

    hoping this will work but its killer atm because of xmas and all the lovely food about

    its the body coach 90 day plan but I found it pretty hardcore with the meal plans being so specific, I literally craved cooking , I missed being able to cook meals for me and the OH haha, the other day he said to me he was so glad I wasn't on the mince diet anymore hahahahah

    Hi Nicole,

    No that's fine! it was £10 for me because there was an offer where you get half price joining fee buuuttt I am pretty sure in best magazine there is a free joining offer this week which means you would only have to pay for group :)
    Then it is £4.95 a week but I tend to buy countdowns so it works out a bit cheaper and is pre paid so I haven't got to find a 5er every week lol

    Once you get the courage to walk through the doors it will be the best thing you have done. I go WW and the best thing for me is seeing everyone, how they get on and the support you get. SW didn't work for me because I can't say no but there was a lady in my class who lost 12 stone!! Pretty much everyone in my class lost loads and I think it was just me that didn't get on with it! I am rubbish at diets I have to weigh everything or I over eat.

    Let us know Wizbit how well you do in your first week :) and Nicole if you do join, good luck :)

    Nicole you sound like me I am such a binge eater with a few stone to lose - I have a little longer to lose the weight but I'm wanting to shift as much as I can before I actually go dress shopping.

    I chickened out of going to my first group on Saturday but I'm getting the voucher that's out today and I'm determined to join Saturday.

    I've managed to lose 10lbs on my own and don't want to be putting it all on again over Christmas. I need to find a nice low calorie alcoholic drink I can have on all these night outs coming up x

    Kathleen i really wind myself up - start off doing so well (all together i have lost about a stone and a half and dropped a dress size but in slow stages) and i just get bored and give up. I'll go a month of progressive weight loss like 2 pound per week and then all of a sudden i just stop the exercise and start eating unhealthy again i just really struggle to stay motivated.

    I looked on their website for a group close to me and then found the woman that runs it has a FB page set up so I dropped her a message to ask about joining. I haven't actually been yet, I will be joining on Saturday. Never been to a weight loss class before so I'm petrified but struggling on my own so I'm hoping a weekly weigh in and a bit of extra motivation from others will help. I'm my own downfall I know what I need to do but I binge on really unhealthy things and then feel rubbish afterwards x

    That's why I sent a message think I asked how much it was even though I knew I just wanted to warn her that I was a newbie but she sounds lovely. There was plenty of classes near me so hopefully you can find a day and time that suits :)

    Nicole - I was looking for this thread earlier but couldn't see it ha! I did go and I enjoyed it. The consultant was lovely and sits down with all new starters to explain the plan fully. The plan seems really simple and you can eat lots, like you don't have to weigh your pasta or anything which sounds crazy. I'm on day 3 and so far so good - I feel like I have more energy already and haven't felt hungry. I'm excited to see how it works out and kind of wished I'd been brave enough to go sooner. It promotes eating healthier and cooking things from scratch rather than using processed foods.

    I'll let you know how I get on Saturday with my first weigh in :)

    well done wizbit and mrsc2be! x

    Yes you must go, I feel really excited (not sure how it will go over Christmas but least I'm getting a head start on those that join in Jan). There's a free joining voucher in a weekly magazine at the moment, did you get it?

    I think you do have to be in the right mind set as I was having a bad week the week before and just chickened out of going even though I had messaged the consultant x
