If anyone else out there is doing the slimming world plan please feel free to add me it's always nice to have people in the same boat as you and support and encourage each other!

That's like the UK version of Weight Watchers, right? You can probably find people in the Team UK group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/150-team-uk

And British People: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/84-british-people

Wow, I never realised this. I'm in the UK and we have Weight Watchers here, I know people that have been on it, but I've never heard of Slimming World outside of MFP. I always assumed it was American and didn't exist here.

But yeah, there are a few groups dedicated to it: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/search?group_group=1&Search=slimming+world

And more than a few threads dedicated to it if you wanted to read some other people's experiences: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/search?adv=&search=slimming+world&title=&author=&cat=all&tags=&discussion_d=1&comment_c=1&group_group=1&within=1+day&date=

Sorry, I meant "a UK thing that's like Weight Watchers."

I've always assumed Slimming World to be the inspiration for the Fat Fighters sketches on "Little Britain."

Im starting it this week-I have done it before and had really good results. After a period of sickness and laziness I now have it all to lose again.

Feel free to add me.


I'm using the MFP app as a way of logging my food as it's handy for my phone but I'm not counting calories.

Things I have found useful are LOTS of water, 1/3 super free with meals and always have a snack handy at work to avoid temptation.

I started slimming world in March and have lost 2 stone since. Have been using MFP for a few week and decided to stop going to slimming world last week and continue to use MFP. I will still incorporate the slimming world plan but will also count calories. X

i lost 2 stone on sw, was great and taught me how to cook from scratch.. however i started to stall and asoon realised that i was eating too much free food - hence why im on here, i still make all the sw meals but i now log calories, and this weeke i finally achieved my 3 stone award ( 5 stone) if you count before slimming world.

I know people using the Slimming World approach - personally, it seems a little on the confusing side. I hear you can only eat certain foods on a certain day and not mixed with other types?! I may be wrong. I like eating at a deficit but being able to have whatever I fancy. Saying that, there do seem to be a lot of success stories with SW Well done to you all on your brilliant losses.

it used to be red and green days which split food types now theirs just extra easy - the rule is a thrid of your plates LAWAYS has to be fruit or salad or veg - speed food - its there way of portion control

Hi - I am a SW member - I lost 8.5 stone following the plan and am now trying to lose weight after having my baby. I am not currently following the plan as I wanted to lower my carbs as I have succeeded faster doing this previously. The whole point of SW though is there should be no need to count calories etc - the plan does work without the need to do this! tbh am looking forward to shifting what I need too and then getting back on plan as it is a lot less hassle good luck!
