Hello, Zofia-AV, and welcome to the forum 😊
Have you decided on a plan yet? Sounds like you're ready for a change from Slimming World, something you'll be able to stick to and enjoy for life. Steer clear of diets as, by their nature, they're time limited and I think most of us are aiming for a healthy weight for life.
This is a busy place with loads of support and information to help you on your way and we've put everything you need into this Welcome Newbies post. I recommend joining a weekly weigh in and using the Daily Diary healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...
Please also read this information about security/privacy, especially as you have left your post unlocked healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...
To make the most of the forum, join in with activities, read and reply to posts, ask questions and encourage others – it will all pay off for you 😊
At the moment I’m looking at reducing portion size and counting calories, there is a very handy calorie counter on this which I will use. I do not believe in the SW free foods, all foods have a value! I’m in the habit of having to much!
Quite right, all foods do have a value. That's what needs to be kept in mind when calorie counting, that not all calories are equal in their effects on the body. You may find this interesting healthline.com/nutrition/6-...
Welcome Zofia-AV - whats made you feel Slimming World hasn't worked for you??
Personally - the idea of Slimming World is good for me - a group with support etc but it costs money and their plans, although better than some .. for me aren't really that appealing or true.
From my experience, the 12 week plan and using this forum is free and has better benefits.
Eating more sensibly, keeping foods healthy and unprocessed (as much as possible) and having a balanced diet with a little exercise is far more beneficial than a paid for support group.
Good luck on your journey and i hope to see you involved on the forum!

I’ve been doing the slimming world on and off for years and always put the weight back on so it doesn’t work for me. I’m looking for a different approach and structure
Hi, Zofia-AV , welcome.
Many of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Eating All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:
