Joining Slimming World Tomorrow

[sarahgillian]

Hi Everyone.

I'm planning on joining SW tomorrow after doing WW on and off for the last 3 and a half years and lost nearly 4 stone. I can't seem to stick to WW at the moment so I'd thought I would try another plan as the weight is creeping back on.

How has it been for everyone here?

Good luck Sarah - I am a newbie too! Well done on your loss so far that's amazing!

 

[sarahgillian]

Yeah but I've definately put more than a stone back on and if I don't do something now I will be back to square one.

Is SW easy to follow?

 

[Vicx]

It is very easy to follow. The only time I struggle is creating meals but that's a lack of my culinery skills rather than the plan! LOL

Hi Sarahgillian, good luck on your journey! Let us know how you are doing!

 

[sarahgillian]

Can you eat meat or fish with say pasta or potatoes? Is this the one where you can't mix protein and carbs?

 

[Bumpy0]

sorry added comment to the wrong post......errrrr derrrrrrr

YOu can eat...for instance meat as a healthy extra b on your green day....just like you can have pasta as a healthy extra on a red day.

There is also mix to match where you can have a red lunch and green supper....but you can only eat free food that are free on both plans as snacks....i.e mullar lights, some veg, fruit, salad etc...

Hope this helps and when you receive your SW book you will understand it better when you read it all.
It really isnt hard hun
Good luck with your weight loss

Yeah I think it will all come together when I get the books tomorrow - I even picked up the magazine today for inspiration

Good luck with the plan hun, I find it's quite easy to follow and make sure you try loads of different recipes (there's some at the top of this forum) to make sure you don't get bored of eating the same thing!

 

[sarahgillian]

Well I am now an official SW member and raring to go

Great news Sarah! Good luck with your first week. I had my 2nd weigh in today and all in all its been so much easier than I expected, I've never once been hungry!

 

[sarahgillian]

You lost 8ibs in your first week, that's awesome!!!

 

[Sarette]

Good luck for the week ahead!

 

[sarahgillian]

Thanks, I'm currently compiling my weekly menus now

 

[sweetscousechick]

Well done Sarah
I signed myself up last week and had a happy 5.5lb loss this week.
Once you get into it, it's so easy and you can enjoy food, like weight watchers. Good Luck!

I've had my nose stuck in the book whenever I have had a minute spare and really excited at the journey ahead
