What do I do ?

bejeezus

Hi folks. I have a total of 7 stone to lose. Maybe 8. But I don’t like slimming world’s focus on ‘free’ foods like potatoes, pasta and rice. I just find that you use up so much ‘syns’ making the staples in any way tasty! And unislim is too far away from me. I believe I need someone to weigh me every week to keep focused. Or do I? Any tips much much appreciated!!

If you’re going to pay someone, you might as well use a qualified professional. I’d recommend you look for a registered dietician near you.

It’s the mindset that I’m struggling with, not so much the food aspect. Thanks. I’d also rather not pay someone. Maybe it was inspo I was looking for here.

If you're after a weekly weight in. You can do that yourself for free.

I agree with your assessment of slimming world though. Awful approach imo.

Thanks Mellor.

If your going to do a weekly weigh in make it the same day and roughly same time every week. Also take body measurements and record them on something like an excel spreadsheet. It can be an eye opener to see the inches you drop after a few weeks and the progress your making

While programs like Slimming World and Unislim work for many people, it's important to find a weight loss plan that aligns with your preferences and goals. If you're not a fan of the "free" food focus or find it difficult to make the staples tasty, consider exploring other options such as calorie counting, portion control, or a personalized meal plan designed by a registered dietitian.
