Re: Slimming World
Fashion people disgust me; they think they are doing something important and creative, when in reality they are there to create a lifestyle image so that the companies that own the fashion houses can flog more perfume and handbags to idiots. Vacuous wastes of space, the lot of them.

...I just can't see how biffers O.D.ing on pizza and pop can be the fault of folks who make frocks and handbags.

I just can't see what any of what your talking about has to do with a thread about Slimming World. No one cares, what Kate Moss said and whether anyone does or doesnt agree with it.

Re: Slimming World
...I'm just curious that so much fuss is made over peoples weight. The fact that there's such a thing as a dieting/slimming industry is nuts - seriously, how hard can it be to keep in shape? Honestly, should anyone really need a consultant to tell them to walk about a bit and not put so many crisps in their mouth?

Re: Slimming World
I do it online and have been finding it okay, you get access to all the food lists as well as a syn calculator, food diary and support stuff. Also a graph etc that plots your weight loss for you. There is also a great group on facebook as well as various slimming world forums for support. Plus I have managed to find lots of alternatives to food things if you shop around. The slimming world team are pretty quick at answering queries re: food items if I email them too.
Most of the free food stuff is cook from scratch type items anyway, as it is one of the diets that tries to deter from processed foods.
Fingers crossed they do well in Texas and start branching out further a field.

Kate Moss does make me feel fat, but she doesn't make feel ugly too. I think the waif models do cheat the public a bit.

Then they have a syns calculator, where you can select your free foods from the list and then input the nutritional information and it will tell you if the food is free or synned and how many syns.
There is also a facebook slimming world group which is great for helping to stay on track.

I joined Weight Watchers in the late 80s. I've never eaten so much in my life. The weight fell off me.

Re: Slimming World
That said, i guess Slimming World and other such offerings are not dissimilar to Alcoholics Anonymous in a way that they provide group structure and support for addicts.

Re: Slimming World
Have you thought about Nutrisystem - I have lost half a stone in 3 weeks and still going. And there are no points, sins or counting so it is really easy.
