Morning All. Off To The Supermarket Soon. However...

...I start at Slimming World tomorrow and don't want to buy all the wrong stuff. Any suggestions what sort of stuff to get until they advise me tomorrow? Thanks very much.

Good luck with SW. I know several people who joined them and they all lost weight. It's one of the more successful slimming clubs. xx

Have a look at some of the recipes on here, lard. That might help.

Morning janbee. Thanks very much.

[lardhelmet]

Thanks very much Tilly. They don't look too difficult do they?

[Tilly2]

One of my relatives lost three stone with SW. It is very successful.

Get lots of tinned tomatoes, tuna, chickpeas, mixed beans, lots of fruit and veg... (look at recipes for SW Speed Soup), lots of recipes use "Smash" dried potato, but don't forget, you can still have a fair few things you already eat, but with a few "tweaks". And don't forget the FryLight one cal spray, it's usually where the cooking oil is displayed... Best of luck on your SW journey.

I know a few people that swear by chickpea dahl which is apparently 'sin free', although I don't know whether they do sw or weight watchers.

May I suggest a change of name? Lardhelmet seems at odds with Slimming World!

[Tilly2]

Just drop the lard part. Literally!

I don't go to s w ... my sister does .... apparently these are how to use sucessfully
1. Go on your own ..it's not a contest between friends
2. Don't worry about how much you weigh .. no one in that room will know your weight .. they it make public how much you lose that week / how much you have contained your weight (that'll be no loss) / weight gain (oops) . Apparently weight gain is rare. But, they don't beat you up about it... targets for the following week are low/achievable and within the group(s) there will be people who have been there.I'm called scrawny.. so will never do s w. But, used to be a severe nail biter. Decided to stop.. so regularly attended a weekly manicurist appt which actually the same as a weigh in
3. DO NOT weigh yourself at home. Attend once a week and weigh then
4. Although they say 'you can eat as much as you like of this ' there is still an element of portion control. I.e. you can't eat 1lb of pasta!!!
