slimming world it great don't mention the word diet to them though they say diest means ""dare I eat that"" and that is not what it is all about....I lost 3 stone with slimming world whilst on pred. Very supportive...as I am sure other slimming gorups are. Good luck...search online for recipes there are loads out there.

I started slimming world 3 years ago, and I weighed 18stone 3 pounds. 18 months after joining I hit my target of 9stone 10pounds, total weight loss 8 and a half stone.I have remained within the 6 pound range they allow at target, you can go 3 pounds under and 3 pounds over. I have been at theis weight for the last 18 months. Keep going and the trick is if you are having a bad day one day, try to get back on plan the following day. I followed the red days more than the green or extra easy.Keep us posted I know what you are going through. I didn't exercise during the weight loss as I had 3 lots of surgery. It is possible

thanks. Im aiming for a loss of 5 and a half stone. Im doing the extra easy like my mum but we do different groups. Yeah i didnt like beans in chile con carne but now i do. It doesnt feel like a diet at all. I love the hifi bars they do the chocolate orange one is dead nice. I am going to try to do the body magic but if i cant manange it i dont mind. The only thing i miss is white chocolate as if i start eating it i cant stop its my weakness

I don't bother with these diet companies like slimming world and weight watchers......

I just eat less and more healthily! Well try......... Bloomin' predisolone.

I prefer to spend the money on healthy food than pay for someone to tell me what I already know.

Also, alot of the foods designed for dieting are low in fat but high in sugars such as Special K, those biscuits in green packs, low fat flavoured yogurts, (I eat fat free plain or soya yogs)

Oh and the ready meals......... high salt!

Anyway, will get off my box and waddle back to the veg patch! LOL

Kate

Did you know that marshmallows are fat free but are between 93 adn 95% sugar?

I like your thinking Kate - we all know how and what to eat -

Sometimes people like the encouragement they get from joining a group, they feel supported and get new ideas. I didn't pay to join, just used the online forum which was free and got the jist of it from there. Still revert back to red and green days to kick start a healthy eating plan.

I am currently dunking an oreo cookie in a cup of tea I think that is a brown day.

Good luck with the diet

I really need to lose weight but as smarties (aka Prednisolone) and I are best friends at the moment I'm not having much luck.

Since when has chocolate not been healthy it comes from a bean doesn't it???!!!

Good luck with your diet. Let me know if you want any help as Im a total fitness freak!

Good luck x i am trying loose waight also now off pred.my mother inlaw said face looking less puffed from moon face. sugger free polos good to have around as hardly anything at all. Half a point im WW for packet xxx

Yes, good luck with your diet. I would like to try to lose a couple of stone myself as I know it will help to improve my health. I have no willpower and I love my food too much so it's going to be a struggle. Wish me luck.

well even on my slimming world diet where i feel like im eating more i lost on my first week 2.5lbs i am really pleased

Good luck withyour diet.

I have been doing slimming world since October last year and i have lost 1st 12lb since then, that is with being on a maintance dose of pred, you do not think it is a diet keep going some weeks i lost weight others put a bit on .

lost 2.5 lbs this week so im really happy

Well done and keep up the good work!

thanks im working with my mum on it

Very well done.

good luck with slimming world. its quite a decent diet plan as you can eat loads as its very low fat which is great when your appetite is high with steroids. i went years ago and the person i went with lost over 3stone,where as i put weight on-having said that my thyroid was very dodgy at the time. p.s- the sinfree chips are lovely x

i love the syn free potato wedges as well
