Hi

I want to join a slimming world group. I have found out there is one where I live. Could someone tell me what happens at the groups? I am have seemed to put on so much weight since my baby was born in january and would live to lose weight. I have just two sizes up from a 18 to 22. Even though I still was big before I lost weight would like to go down to a size 14 if I can.

hi there,i used to go slimming world and to be honest its a complete waste of money! i think i paid £4.50 a week and all we did was walk in,be weighed,sat in a circle while the woman stood in the middle puttin u down for not doing so good - which in my oppinion doesnt help u! then she will have all ur books (as u get a book that monitors u aswell as a book that tells u ur food) and then shed tell u wot she would like u to lose by the time she sees you the next week.

you have two diet plans (well they call it food optimising not dieting) the red plan or the green plan.red=eat meats and green=,potato,salad,veg. you pick which u want to do and stick to that plan.

to be honest,cutting out the rubbish,and just basically cooking what u have a whole different way,u will soon get there,but u will need to join some sort of gym too as u cant just cut out the food and expect the weight to drop off,u have to motivate ur body too.if anything,i wouldnt bother with a club.id just completely change ur lifestyle-not just yours but your familys too,that way u aint tempted by them eating different things. lose the weight slowly aswel,or u will pile it back on in no time.

im gettin married in the summer and im dieting,but i go aqua aerobics on a tues,gym on a thurs n sat and at home i do a powerworkout video - its working and im felling so much fitter in myself too! good luck hun,you can do it if your minds on it too.

i did slimming world for awhile and am going back as i need to lose loads. i find them to be a really good incentive as going each week and being weighed helps me to do well. if i do it at home im like 'oh it wont matter if i eat this big bar of chocolate, ill just do better tomorrow' i dont have a lot of will power. but at £4.50 it is expensive

I love slimming world and am doing really well on it- the diet suits me. You dont have to stay to group (I have only stayed about 3 times)- they all do the same, applaude people who have lost weight and get you to set targets for the following week, if you have put on she asks what happened- incase you need to support. they have taster sessions and next week is count down to Christmas (if you loose 1lb a week everyweek you will loose a stone in time for Christmas!!!!

i've been going to slimming world for 3 months now and have lost 1 and a half stone! My consultant Julia is really lovely,she would never put anyone down, she is really supportive.
My sister stuck with it 100% and she lost 4 stone in just 5 months, and has kept it off for 2 years.
It isn't right for everyone, i hope it works out well for you xxx 😘
