future mrs midgley, no will power required really. I joined slimming world, i bought a whole load of recipe books. I still tuck into heaps of spagetti bologneise, sausage casserole, jacket potatos, roast dinner, curry etc....... I even still have chocolate :D Slimming world is fantastic!
CommentAuthor♥Future Mrs Midgley♥
I have heard good things about SW. But I need to eat chocolate a LOT! How much are you allowed? How does SW work? And is it expensive? xxx
CommentAuthor♥Future Mrs Midgley♥
@suzky123 You will have to lose weigh if you are eating that little! You need to keep your strength up with slow release carbs if you will be doing Zumba. We don't want you to collapse do we! Best of luck hun. xxx

yes that would be embrassing. Just had an amazing tea for only 400 cals. Had some king prawns in a thai sauce that you boil in the bag in the microwave for 3 mins (they are not precooked either as were blue to start) and did it with a small bag of rice and omg I loved it. Supposed to be having a fishcake and jkt tomo but I may have to eat this again. They are £3 from a big store beg with S if anyone wants a low cal tea. Was scrummy and I feel pretty full but topped it off with a pot of melon and debating the strawberries at the min. Just been on an hour and 20 mins walk with the pooch to see the crimbo tree at cheshire oaks so feel pretty good today. I just hate it.... I always get stuck between 9,0 and 9st 2. Once I get in the 8's again it will come off but I always get stuck here so am waiting for it.

Future mrs Midgley, SW works well for a lot of women i know, my consultant loves chocolate. Quite a few of the ladies in my group swear by curly wurlys as they are low in syns and the ladies put them in the freezer and they take longer to eat. Also the sw hifi bars, chocolate flavours... can get choc &mint, orange choc etc.... my fave is choc and caramel and you are allowed 2 hifi bars a day as your healthy extra. I paid £10 to join, and pay £4.95 every week when i go to group. I have to go and weigh in and stay to group as it really focuses me and the support i get there and exchange of ideas and recipes etc is fantastic.
Theres even some amazing recipes available in books and online for low syn desserts including carrot cake, baileys cheesecake, chocolate cheesecake etc etc.... yum!
CommentAuthorsuzky123
I think it depends with sw. Some people I know do manage to lose weight on it but a fair few of them, mum included, didnt and felt disheartened and yet with WW lost within the first few days and lost considerably over time. Look at both plans and try to figure out what type of plan would be best for you and see if you like the SW one.

Im starting lipotrim its expensive at £38 for 1 wks supply of shakes, im only doing it for 2mths as a quick weight loss thing to start me off then its weight watchers for me, I want to lose 7 stone in 10mths
CommentAuthor♥Future Mrs Midgley♥
@blondmumma and @suzky Thanks girls, that is interesting and very helpful. I will try the curly wurly thing. Am I allowed 10 curlys a day? That might be enough to suppress my chocolate addiction lol. Honestly, joking aside, I think that it is a really good idea. xxx
CommentAuthor♥Future Mrs Midgley♥
And Suzky, I MUST get some of that Thai food. I love Thai. How long did it fill you up for? x
CommentAuthor♥Future Mrs Midgley♥
Highlight of my day: Resisting that yummy hazelnut chocolate bar. Lowlight of my day: Pushing myself so hard whilst cycling that I had an asthma attack. I didn't have my inhaler with me so I collapsed on the pavement. Luckily I had collapsed outside my mum and dad's house and my h2b was there so he found me an inhaler. It was scary though!

I started to feel hungry again around 11pm so went to bed. I am used to smaller portions tho so only had a small serving of rice but YOu could do more or add some veggies on the side.
Another 1hour 20 min walk and after the 1 hr 20 min walk yesterday I lost 0.5lbs so fingers crossed I do the same by tomo morn but doubtful but you never know.
Oh if you like a treat, I brought dave some small bags of haribo and I worked out that even tho they are small granted, they are approx 40-50 cals per bag so if you just want a few sweeties, this may be a good idea

lipotrim does work. Work collegue did it and lost stones in only a couple of months. It was however, not very healthy to lose so much and he put it on sooooooo quickly when he came off the shakes and he wasnt exactly overeating so please be careful.

Just had a nice breccy this morning... had pear and blueberries with porridge (made with water) and I didnt notice it was made with water due to all of the natural sugars from the fruit. Was lovely and about 270 cals which is more than my normal cereal (150 cals) but not bad going and nice for a change.

hey thats alright then if youve lost so much without trying. Imagine how much you will lose when you do. Lucky bugga. Wish I could lose weight without really trying. Maybe you just swapped certain foods and that helped you lose weight and you prob didnt even realise how it would affect your weight? You could do with finding out what you did though to lose weight to make sure you carry it on.

I've lost 11lb in 7 weeks by majorly cutting down and doing ww (unofficially) swimming twice a week and zumba twice a week. I feel so much better and have finally lost the half stone I put on last xmas and never bothered getting rid of!
Keep going ladies! x

I love it! Wouldn't say I'm very co-ordinated but it's great fun. I go on my own, which would usually mean that I'd skive off because I wouldn't be letting anyone down! But I haven't even thought about missing it!
I feel fitter, and it's been a major help with my weight loss. X
CommentAuthorFuture mrs mac
Zumba sounds ace :) well done smarties I hate going to things by myself! Been so bad this week - dreading getting weighed on Thurday :( seem to have lost my motivation x
CommentAuthorKate4
It's a good thing to go to on your own though. A few people do. I stand at the back in the corner and blend in!
It's hard to stay motivated in the Winter though isn't it? Mince pies are calling me. x
CommentAuthorsuzky123
well done for going on your own. I want to join different classes e.g. bums n tums but I know occasionally there is pair work and this puts me off

CommentAuthorSkamer
When my h2b and I got engaged I thought I wanted to do something about my weight, I have put on two stone in the year since we met. I have previously successfully lost weight at SW so thought I would go back there, the only problem is I don't have the motivation. Whenever I try to talk to my h2b about it he says he loves me as I am, which I do appreciate but it's not very helpful lol I can't decide if it's laziness on my part or a comfort in my own skin, I have adapted my diet to be more healthy and have lost about half a stone in two months. I wonder if there is a supplier that sells it by the bottle! lol

@Nicoles mummy SW is £5 a week
CommentAuthorx Disney Princess x
That's not too bad then. Me and h2b are doing it together we started at the end of september and took pictures of each other so we will see the difference in a few months time. I look at other peoples before and after pics on forums quite often and that motivates me x
