Hi everyone - I'm interested in joining SW tomorrow, and have absolutely no idea what to expect.

Can anyone explain to me without abbreviations or anything what I can expect?

One other problem - I'm a guy. Not trying to be sexist, but I presume most of those at SW are ladies. Do they take kindly to blokes joining, or am I best doing something else?

Thanks

i'm a girly Woot,but i will tell you as it is,i'm a little older i think and so won't wrap it up nicely if it needs to be said,
i don't know how it works,i guess its lots of food that you get to digest fast,i know that when i started Slimming World i farted A LOT!

i like chocolate biscuits,but i much prefer cake and if i need to syn i tend to eat cake,but i like to be syn free for a few days and 'save' them for my cake

you'll be ok here,but remember we are mostly women so try not to gender generalise,and unless you have green eyes like my husband,call me fat at your peril :rotfl::rotfl:

Welcome mate!

Just remembered, I'm going to the cinema today! Any tips for SW-friendly munchies? I usually go to the corner shop and buy lollypops - how synful is a chupachups? (find it lasts longer than a bag of sweets and is less calorific). Might also get a curly wurly.

it says on SW site sugar free chupa chups are 1 1/2

in his defense Diz,my husband is being ironic,i've said it before on here but i am a chubby chaser and my husband carries weight,although he is losing it recently,so lots of sausage rolls,pork pies and danish pastries for him!!

i'll just smell his breathe when he's eaten them

not sure about everyone else,but my sandwiches still have to have a lid,so i B choice a wholemeal roll,shame they don't stay as fresh as bread for very long maybe i need to have toasted buns

Hi Wootball

It's true that it is mostly women at SW, but there is a bloke in my group, and there were two in my last group, before I moved, so they are around! The really annoying thing is that they do seem to lose weight so much faster and easier than women - the chap in my group lost 4lb this week, and then went on to tell us about his boozy night out with the lads. I would cheerfully throttle him if he wasn't otherwise such a pleasant chap :-)

Do they sell the weightwatchers hoops in asda ( they are salt & vinegar) have to walk quite far out of my way and not going unnecesarily!

No filo pastry so no samosas in my local shopping centre today but 99p stores had the Apple lites in again so bought 4 boxes will try not to eat any more as Ive already scoffed both of them already for today

Im killing today, I want the crunch! I fancy a packet of crisps er I mean snack a jacks already :eek:

Has anyone made the samosas that were on the SW website yet?

Im feeling the need http://www.slimmingworld.com/healthy_eating/recipe_veg_samosas.asp

Nope not tried those...they look pretty scrummy tho, Ive made the onion Bahjis a few times from the curry feast book.....theyre a doddle to do and 1 syn each if you want the recipe posting?

Oh and dont know if you do the caramel snack a jacks- but your better off buying butterkist toffee popcorn, you can have the same weight 25g and its same syns 5 tastes soooo much better. Asda 3 big bags for £3

Well, I finished my fish week and what were the results of WI I here you cry? 0.5Ib off. sucks. Not convinced it entirely down to 'the plan' I think it's me- looking back at my weight losses no matter what I do I have a good loss one week, the an small loss (or even an unexpected gain!) the next. And this week was definitely one where I was scheduled a rubbish loss (and at least it wasn't a gain!) Ah, well. It'll show next week. It will.

onwards and downwards.

I am exactly the same too.
