Am new to this group. Ha e been struggling with weight loss for years. The only time I succeed is with meal replacements. The it all piles back on. Have been on slimming world for a year and am the same weight now as when I started. I can't give up. I have to keep going. My question is though I have had a look through the 12 week plan have had a look at the Easy Meals that was suggested by NHS, this may be my slimming world head but with the calorie counting do you count all veg. Sorry if it's a daft question.

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), or in the drop down on the 'Posts' page (it says 'arrange by'). Read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you.
Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.
Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI (can be found in the pinned Newbie post) to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for 😊
Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate 😊
To the right of the HOME page (bottom on a mobile), you'll find Events. In there, you'll find links to our daily Weigh-in's (you will choose just one day per week), our Daily Diary, where we post our menu and exercise plans, for accountability, advice and support - which is great to get ideas of what other people are eating and I have to confess to nicking some of their menu's and our “What's happening today” thread, where we pop in for a chat.

You are not alone in not losing any weight with slimming world, I don't think I would either as I believe some foods are unlimited?
In my opinion, calorie counting is the best way, as this also limits portion size. I have always eaten healthy food but obviously ate too much. I had to make the decision that this way of eating is for life, there is no going back, my health was seriously affected and nothing tastes as good as healthy feels 😊
So have a go at the 12 week plan, count all calories, but how you choose to 'spend' you calories is up to you, but just like spending money in the shops, some things offer better value!
