I have been a member since mid March and so far I have lost nearly 1 1/2 stone. The diet plan is generous and easy to follow. You will love it!
I got discouraged by how many years that people were still attending, some would moan about putting on half a pound because they went out for lunch in the week, they maybe were a size 8 after losing a couple of stones, (good for them of course) but others who might have just joined looked a bit disgruntled at them because they might have 10 stones or so to lose.
My daughters' joined with me, one is lazy with cooking from scratch and it really helped her to adopt new habits and lost 10 lbs too, but the other daughter was more than a bit miffed at having to count avacado as a syn yet be allowed to eat a whole tin of spaghetti hoops for lunch..
I think that there are people who have done really well with slimming clubs on the whole by sticking to the plan, which is not too difficult , but for me I had to drop it and just cut down on other things such as wine and weekend take a ways . We are all different after all.
My main problem after losing weight is keeping it off,it's only 1 stone but at only 5ft tall it's too much,I just need remotivating
I always save a few syns for the evening, the rocky road bars from the group are wonderful for this, but can also be used as a healthy B choice (for 2)!!
