I prefer slimming world personally. I didnt get on with weight watchers at all and didnt lose any weight but with slimming workd I have lost 6 stone in the past.

xxx

me too, this is really depressing but i have just had to put on a size 14 pair of jeans that i bought to use as maternity trousers 2 years ago!!!!!!!!!!! i new i would put on weight with the injection but i have gone up 3 sizes in 8 weeks!!!!!!!! and i am not even eating more. i think i may actually cry as apart from sterilisation (i am 21 and dont want to go there yet), i have tried all other forms of contraception and had problems. not fair.
I am gonna join one too so any help you ladies have would be helpfull xxx

aww well good luck with that hunny xx

I lost over a stone in 5 weeks through Weight Watchers, however my H2B's Dad has lost 4 1/2 stone in a year through Slimming World. Just depends on whether you like to count points (WW) or work with Synns and coloured days (SW) They both have success stories, and are pretty similar, so it's which ever one suits you.

After I've had my baby (due on Sunday!) I'll be going back to Weight Watchers, mainly because I've got all the info. However there's nothing like a bit of exercise to compliment these eating plans!! And with Weight Watchers you can eat more food if you exercise!!!

Good luck x

I would say weight watchers, it is working well for me. I have heard a few people cant get their heads around the whole red day green day thing with slimming world, but hey everyone's different, so one might suit you more than the other, why dont u try one for a couple of months then if its not working try the other? x

Hey ohfiddles I found this page. Its a weight watches calculator, if your eating a meal with the nutritional value on it eg cereal etc you can check the points on the calculator. It also has a list of point for certain foods and how many points you should eat to lose weight. I have posted the link on you wall :-)

ahhh i am terrible i just had 12 points for lunch. i am only allowed about 23 points per day Woops lmao

all i had was cheese ham and onion salad, and a pack of walkers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! milk is gonna be the bain of my existance if i go for ww as i have to have whole milk, the rest is just white water lol xxx

Weight Watchers worked for me so well after I had my daughter 7 years ago. It's a really easy system. Also have you ever thought about Gillian McKeith- 'you are what you eat' you know the poo lady off the telly lol. Honestly I did that a few years ago and it worked so well, you can eat all the time if you want, I felt great as I wasn't given the choice to eat a chocolate bar or something. I know it's strict but my skin was glowing, had loads of energy and ate so much different foods and lost weight. It's only hard as you haven't got anyone weighing you every week and checking up on you x

Whoops... that bag of crisps had 255claories...

I'm going to try eating healthily a bit more, and try doing more exercise. I did ww before, but found it awkward as i'd joined just before christmas. xx

i am having pie mash and veg, 1 bagillion points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lmao

yep, its gonna be good lol xx

lol xx

My Pal is a Slimming worlder and swears by it. She has lost 16lbs inthe last 3-4 weeks.

I've lost 24lbs in 11 weeks on WW. I NEED to count and measure otherwise I would just eat and eat and eat lol :o)

Before any change in healthy eating occurs your HEAD has to be in the right 'place' ... if not you WILL fail.

I lost stones on the Lighter Life Diet..abstained from real food for WEEKS ...after all that work..I finished it and started eating again, initially as I was 'taught' but soon quickly was back to what I did before and the weight went right back on.

I (atleast) HAVE to get my head sorted re food/eating as well as doing any diet.

im on SW weigh in tonight argh! so far 8 1/2 pounds off xx

I've lost 6.5 stone on WW and find it a way of life now. BUT it wasn't always like that. Once u get ur head around the points and understand that you should feel hungry b4 each meal to enjoy it and u are determined then it starts to work. The good thing is u can save up points and eat anything you fancy within restrictions.

SW is good too- My cousin lost a good 12 stone on it but once she came off the plan she put three quarters back on!!!
You never have to feel hungry on SW so thats a bonus!

Which one did u decide on?

Congratulations Natalie!
I just lost 3lb today taking me to 1st 0.5lb loss.

I think WW and SW both have a really good amount of leeway - nothing is forbidden, which is generally the downfall of people on diets!

Couldn't you mix them up a little - stick to the Slimming World diet but eat Weightwatchers stuff when you fancy it.

None of the WW Belgium Chocolate Eclairs for me though I pig out on the whole pack they're that good!

oh fiddles i have all the information if you want me to email it to you x

i have the monthly pass at weight watcher at the mo but have just cancelled and am going to join slimming world. Weight watchers is ok and ive lost 17lbs doing it but im just getting bored now so think instead of give up im jus gona try a different diet. You seem to be able to eat soooooo much more with slimming world too

I think I'll swap to SW for a while too so I can stop counting points :)
