Being overweight for all of my adult life i have tried diets here and there since I was 16. From cutting out junk food and upping exercise to extremely low calorie diets and never managed to stick to anything for more than a couple of days. I thought I was destined to be "the fat friend" forever because I could never muster the willpower to stick at any diet or regime I set myself for more than a few days. And then I heard about Slimming World. My boss joined last year and no-one in work even noticed she was on a diet because she was eating what looked to be her usual lunch no "diet food" in sight and then she shared her secret. I started ...  Read the complete review

In this review I will discuss: 1. WHY I JOINED 2. HOW IT WORKS 3. DID IT WORK 4. EXAMPLE OF A DAYS MEALS 5. EXTRA INFO 6. GOOD / BAD? 1. WHY I JOINED I decided to join Slimming World when I was in Year 11 (16 years old), mainly because my mum was going on about it and wanted to join, but also because I wanted to lose some weight for college. I went for around 2 month but found it difficult to follow as I was very picky with food and because my school hardly offered any of the food available on the diet. I stopped going and put the 6lbs I lost back on. I re-joined in my first year of college because I was still struggling with ...  Read the complete review

I am writing this on behalf of my mother as she has been following the slimming world diet for the past 4years and done amazingly well, we are so proud of her. She has lost 5 stone and been at her target weight now for almost 2 years! She has won slimmer of the week/month many times and it gives her great amounts of confidence and she looks great now.

I remember my mum following the slimming world plan years back and thinking no way. Back then were just the red and green days. Red being a meat/fish day with limited carbs green the opposite sort of thing. Now towards the end of last year an old work aquaintence seemed to be doing fab on slimming world. I read up on it and it seemed fab. There were several things that appealed to me on the SW extra easy plans There is not much weighing You can have most things within moderation There are heaps of 'free foods' which you can eat loads of and you never need be hungry. On weight watchers in the past i have constantly been ...  Read the complete review

My husband has been on the slimming world plan for a year. previously myself and all the family went on it . I lost 2 and a half stone and as a family we lost about 18 stone( 6 of us). After taking aa christmas break my husband went back on plan but found however good he was not a pound came off and some weeks a pound went on. Really demoralising!! Then he had some blood tests done and they found his thyroid was underactive. The doctor has said that is probably why he is not able to get weight off,so she has upped the thyroxine and hopes it will all go back to normal. He has been on thyroxine foe 10 years but managed to lose 3 and half stone last year so keep trying everyone...it works!!
