I am having a lot of weight problems after changing my drug to lithium which I was told put weight on very quickly, why can't they make one that takes it off!!! I am advised by my consultant a lovely lady to try slimming world, cannot be mythered how I feel at the moment with counting points, but don't know if I can cope with a dietary regime. What do you people who know about slimming world and the way it works think. I really need to lose weight not only for me (I hate myself like this) for for health reasons as well. Hope some of you can advise. Thanks Dorothy

It takes a couple of weeks to get into the swing of things and get your head into the way of eating, but I am thrilled with SW. I seem to eat far more now and have lost weight every week. I would recommend it, why not go along to a meeting and just see how it goes, my consultant and group are a very friendly supportive bunch. I wish you look with your weight loss. Please feel free to PM me if you need to ask any questions. Keren x

With Weight Watchers they gave you a booklet with points to use each day, worked but what a palava. With SW do you get a pack on joining with set meals or do you make your own up. As you say it took a while to get into the WW swing but after a while you more or less knew what was what without consulting the books. Have found a SW near where I live it is just getting myself into gear to get on with it. As you will know you feel much happier with yourself and the world when the weight is coming off. You have done incredibly well since you joined a few months ago. In February we were on holiday in Wales and went in to this pub and the young landlady was tucking into a gorgeous plate of eggs, bacon etc. She was very friendly and said was losing weight on SW - I just couldn't believe what she was eating. The changeover of drugs is giving me some problems at the moment but I hope to get that sorted in a week or so and then I am definitely going to join and you have given me a lot of hope and encouragement. I will keep you posted if you don't mind. Thanks a lot. Dorothy.

It definately gets easier I spent the first week with the book barely leaving my side but now just look up the odd item or two every so often. I love the fact that you can have a cooked breakfast. Use spray oil in the pan. Today I am having bacon, sausages (reduced fat ones), eggs, mushrooms, tomato and toast for brekky. Of course I don't mind you keeping in touch with your progress. Hope your medication gets sorted soon and then just take a deep breath and go to the meeting, remember everyone there had to make their first step in the door as well. Keren x

I really like it but my downfall was the consultant wasn't very supportive. If I had a different consultant to go to, I would definately go back Sarah xxx

(put it all back on again though!!!) I kept on RED days as couldn't get mine or DH's around GREEN days properly. I'm now doing Rosemary Conleys GI plan via Internet and LOVE IT! I have 3 'proper' meals and snacks allowed and have lost 2st 9lbs since New Year. My Cholestrol and Glucose levels have come right down (diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes 2 years ago), so has my BMI and Blood pressure aswell. All ways round I'm feeling much better and healthier and as DH does all the cooking during the week he can follow the plan quite simply. Another tip is to 'SHOP ONLINE' as it stops you from temptation while going round especially when you see BOGOF's on biscuits etc. Christine xxx

The secret for me is that you can always eat something when you are hungry and don't have to stick to just mealtimes. I have lost over 2 stone and am still at it. Some weeks are better than others but if you stick with it it does really work. the other secret is not to stop going when you have lost weight, you still need the help to keep it off or you will undo all the good work! Buy a countdown if you can (6 weeks for price of 5) if you have already paid you do not make excuses to yourself not to go! good luck to all fellow dieters on whatever plan! Lesley

I don't stick to the slimming plan now but still tend to alternate red and green days as it's just become a way of life. I would recommend it to anyone - in fact my Mum has managed to lose a stone too and she has major thyroid problems which have stopped her losing weight for years. Jo xxx

I am severely disabled in a wheelchair and cannot exercise, i am also on 15 tablets a day and many of my meds cause weight gain, i also only have half a thyroid due to a tumour 6 years ago, so i've got everything against me, However, my husband and I joined SW last Monday and when we went back this monday (11th august) we had lost 3lbs and 5.5lbs and we only started it 3 days before because we hadnt had the chance to go shopping. I personally can relate to others here in saying i didnt eat much at all but i am finding myself eating an amazing amount of food without having to count calories or points!! Our consultant is lovely and helpful and the group is so welcoming and friendly. I have about 5 stone to lose and hubby 4 stone and we are so pleased we chose SW, i really can't praise them enough!! i truly hope you make it to a meeting Dorothy as i never leave the house, i've become a hermit this past year, so i literally had to force myself to go on the first week but once you make that first step you will be amazed how losing weight every week spurs you into going again the following week, so Good Luck Sweetheart and my thoughts are with you, go for it girl Love to all Vick xxxxx Last Edited By: craftyvix 13/08/2008 01:38:53.

Love to all Vick xxxxx Last Edited By: craftyvix 13/08/2008 01:36:27. Edited 1 times.
