My wife joined just yesterday so this is a day late unfortunately. For all those perfect people out there who have great diet discipline this no doubt is a poor deal but for those who really need the support of a group, a class like this can be lifesaving. Getting fat is easy alone but getting slim is easier with others. Good deal in my humble opinion.

it isnt about eating what you like in portions you can actually as much as you want with free foods, it does work I was 18st 7lbs 7 months ago im now 12st 6lbs so clearly it works and i still go out for something to eat and have a drink now and again when i fancy

The reason for a big increase in weight despite a seemingly normal meal is that having a meal after a period of dieting causes a lot of weight being retained in the form of water/glyocogen stores/etc. This is the same reason why most people lose a lot in their first week of dieting (half a stone plus is not unusual). There's a difference between weight loss/gain and fat loss/gain. You should not be disheartened by these fluctuations. Measure by body measurements, waist/thighs/chest/etc and don't be overly hung up over daily weight fluctuations. The overnight gain will be also be lost a lot faster when returning to a diet.

I think people being overly concerned by daily weight fluctuations is the single biggest reason for diets to fail. It's all too easy to think that you've dieted for a week or more only for it to be undone by one meal and if you have to live your life without being allowed one "treat" meal every so often then you might as well not bother at all. Stick to disciplined weekly weigh-ins (to ensure your diet/exercise plan is working) and if you do have any bad weeks convince yourself it's a minor bump and that it won't stop you reaching your goals.

Slimming world is Rubbish!

Eat what you like in small portions? erm NO!

Its that rubbish that thousands of people loose weight with it! obviously this is not for you then

I know a few work mates who live their life by Slimming world, they bore me to tears with their weigh ins and non stop talk about food, but it seems to work for them. Nice deal

Great deal, SW is an easy plan to follow

Millions lose weight without it.

Thanks for this, my friend is going tonight, I've told her to go and buy the magazine first!

How much is the usual cost?

£5 plus £5 a week.....i weigh myself much cheaper!! ☺
