Hey have you got some info on what you are eating etc in order to achieve this fantastic loss? I am doing heaps of exercise and eating healthily (the food that I was losing a lot of weight eating before) but I seem to have been stuck on the same weight for ages. Maybe now neko has left I'll control my food intake a bit better but I'd be interested in what you are doing anyway.

Their website gives a reasonable amount of info, including a FAQ. If you want a read of the current magazine drop me your address and I'll pick you up a copy in my next class (it's cheaper there) and stick it in the post, could include anything random you miss from over here if you want.

It's hard to explain exactly what I do and don't eat, especially since all the lists of stuff are copyright the organisation of course and by joining I did agree not to pass them on, though I do bend that rule a little. But basically there are things which I can eat as much as I like of, because they fill you up a lot for the amount of calories in them. There are things which are basically concentrated calories which don't fill you up, and you can only eat a pretty restricted amount of them and still lose weight. And there are some things inbetween which you can eat a measured but fairly generous amount of each day.

It works pretty well for me, and it has a fair bit of flexibility built in, but I do think that actually going to the class, much as I probably would have mocked a couple of years back, helps an awful lot. And it's a nice little social thing too. There's a slimmingworld community on LJ if you have lots of questions, they're a pretty friendly bunch.
