    I did many years ago, i did not like the fact they said we could snack on corned beef!
  • I joined for 6 months and it definately kicked start my diet - I lost half a stone in 3 weeks, btu I have to say... it got me motivated but I quit because MFP is free and does pretty much the same thing for me!

    Good luck x
  • Hi,

    I did try Slimming World over 18 months ago (approx) and I lost a good 11lbs whilst on the plan which I thought was fantastic. However, I started getting bored with it and was only maintaining my weight for the last 2-3 weeks of attending, missed a group and never went back. :indifferent: I found it to be expensive to attend a class every week (£4.50 p/w or something!?) and they made you pay even if you couldn't make it... :grumble: When at the classes I used to buy the magazines, books that detailed syn values for food products sold at supermarket, books with recipes detailing syn values, healthy snack bars they were promoting etc.. You can probably see how it got out of hand.

    Anyhow, after coming off the plan and returning to “normal” eating habits I not only gained back that 11lbs but another 14lbs on top of that :sad: :sad: :sad: I did nothing about the weight I had gained until I discovered this app/website and have never looked back!!! It is so much better for me.... training me for a lifestyle change and into good habits without spending a penny!! :smile:

    ....AND the people on here are so inspirational, motivational and supportive it's enough to keep me determined to reach my goal!

    Good Luck :flowerforyou: xx
