  • [/quote] Nearly all leaders preech unlimited.....[/quote] Mine doesn't. And if you read the SW materials, that doesn't either...it emphasises that at least 1/3 of your plate should be speed fruit or veg.

  • Free does not mean unlimited!!!!!!! If your consultant is advocating for eating unlimited pasta/rice/potatoes, it's not the group for you. 1/3 minimum of your plate should contain 'speed' food...fruit or veg. Plate that first, then add protein, then carbs. The speed replaces the volume of everything else that's easy to…

  • I did sw from September until just a few weeks ago. I liked it...it helped adjust my mindset with food quite a bit, and I lost just over 2 stones. About a month or so ago, I started logging my food on MFP, and have to say I prefer MFP, so I'm doing that exclusively now...i only have about a stone left to go, and I feel…
    in First Slimming World Meeting tomorrow! What to expect? Comment by galley0730 June 2017
  • Wow...did you talk this through with your consultant?

This is the principle I still adhere to...i always plate my fruit or veg first,…

I mainly rely on calorie counting for my food (it's been a great habit to get into!), but because I know I'm not terribly disciplined when left to my own devices, the weekly weigh in helps me to stay on track. I also feel like calorie counting is sustainable long term, even though I do follow many sw…
    in Following slimming world but also calorie counting. Comment by galley0730 June 2017
  • I maintained my weight for 4 years by eating intuitively, and it was a huge help in overcoming the binge/restrict stuff I was doing prior to that. I'm now tracking calories again to lose weight I gained in a 2 year overseas posting, but I still use many of the principles of IE while I'm losing.
    in Anyone lost weight with intuitive eating? Comment by galley0730 May 2017
  • Hi! Sorry that you haven't had many responses! I joined SW in September, and I really like it. I've never been a junk food eater, really...i gained weight living overseas...eating wonderful food, just eating too much! I disagree with the previous poster...in our group, we are encouraged to increase our vegetables and…
