So far I have lost nothing, it is my first day. I weighed in this morning at 14st 11lbs. On the 5th Sept I will have completed my first week and hopefully some weightless

Definitely shouldn't be hungry on this plan, can you give us an idea of what you are eating and what you like to eat and we can help you? Honestly you can have as much free foods as you like (and i truly mean it) and still lose weight. Trust me I've lost 5.5 stone by doing exactly that - you should honestly see my plates of food!

Hello and welcome
I totally agree with @Sazmajig you shouldn't be hungry there's so much free and speed foods to get at! Do you think maybe it's psychological with using the 'd' word (diet
) I remember that I couldn't use it as in my head it meant either cutting back or forbidding food or feeling hungry. I just saw this as a new step and way of life instead.Let us know what you're eating and possibly pop onto the diaries on here to have a look- they are wonderful, inspirational and full of great ideas!
This is a brilliant support network with tonnes of members who will always help and we are all in it together

Hi Ruth first off thank you for replying......I have posted in the ww diary area what I ate yesterday and it came to 35 points, I couldn't sleep last night and ended up pigging out on crisps and timeout chocolate bars. First day of diet was a disaster, but I'm going to be positive and try to be successful today.
It could well be that the 'D' word is throwing me into turmoil. Could you point me into the right direction to find out what free/super foods on ww I can eat without spoiling my diet completely??

Welcome, you will find most of us are slimming world rather than WW so we might not fully understand your plan (I know I don't personally). But the 'D' word should be forbidden in any case

Hi Natalie
I am willing to try SW if someone can help me understand it......I have tried and could never get my head around it, every week I was putting weight on rather than losing or just maintaining after two months I gave up the ghost and went to WW. I think the problem was combining food/portions or maybe something else I'm not sure what the problem was I just didn't understand the diet as a whole.
I do have some learning difficulties and I think the person running the SW club didn't know or have time to explain things to me in a way I could understand

Unfortunately I'm not sure on WW! I haven't really does it properly in the past!
I can tell you a few things about SW, or there's an area for newbies
yes it's definitely not a diet but a lifestyle change!With slimming world you can have your pasta, potatoes, fish, meat etc without having to worry or count/weigh! I have a treat every day and I'm never hungry. Have a look at the newbie SW or WW threads and make a pro and con list and see which one suits your life more.
Hope this helps.

Hi Chelle (sorry my phone wants to write Chelsea? Prepare for typos...)
It's a shame the consultant didn't explain things in a way your required. Do you have someone who could go with you to a class to help you understand the plan? I do understand the classes can be very busy (and noisey mines is full of blethers lol) but that's no excuse for not taking a different approach.
I like SW because I don't feel restricted. I also don't feel like I need to eat a plate of lettuce and call it dinner. The plan is so flexible. Like Ruth said there is a fab "newbie" area and we all are willing to offer advice and support. With SW you don't have to weigh out portions for each meal except for your healthy extras and syns. A (milks, cheese etc) B (fibre products such as breads, cereal, nuts etc). On Extra Easy you get one portion of each an A & a B per day. Other than that no weighing free or speed foods as we call them
and the use of 15 syns per day (for that wee piece of chocolate you crave or extra slice of bread etc! Even a slice of pizza!)Head over to newbie area and defo ask questions. We are a friendly bunch
the SW book is around 200 pages long so condensing it to one post isn't gonna work.Good luck whichever plan you decide. The hardest part is making the decision to join. Discovering the plan (and eating the plan!!) Is the fun bit
