1. Please let there be another man there
2. Oh God, how much do I weigh?
3. I have literally no idea what you’re talking about
Fitpoints? Syns? Simply Filling? Healthy Extras? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN
4. This feels like the first day of school
There are SO many things to get to grips with
5. Let me just work out the points
It’s second nature when you get used to it, promise
6. You’ve made a cake that won’t eat up my entire treat allowance?!
Recipe please.
7. It’s made from cous cous, Quark and a truck load of sweetener, you say?
I’ll pass, thanks.
8. “This week we’re going to talk about how our menstrual cycles can affect weight loss”
Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be staying for group tonight
9. A Snickers is only 16 syns
This is the best news you’ve ever heard
10. This is actually alright
There are definitely worse things you could be doing to lose weight
11. I’ve just spent my life savings in the meeting’s shop.
Who knew Weight Watchers made their own chocolate digestives?! And only two points each. What a world.
12. …this is something you’ll only do once
They’re two points each because they’re the size of a postage stamp. Pass the McVities.
13. WEIGH IN DAY! How many layers is it acceptable to take off in public?
14. Yass weight loss success is MINE
All that counting points is definitely worth it
15. Now to do it all again next week…
Why can’t I just be 50lbs lighter already?!
Love it lol
I see the fun in this but such things as Slimming World actually work and more men should join - In total I've lost 5st 4 1/2lb, all of that whilst doing Slimming World with a season of MVF thrown into the mix. By the time I joined MVF Stoke I'd lost 2st already, I wanted to try to speed up the weight loss and get fit (i was already eating healthy with SW), by the time the season ended I'd lost a further 2st 7lb totalling 4st 7lb, but had to give up due to arthritis, I've since gone on to lose another 9 1/2lb - I'm the lightest I've been since I was 21(now 36) - yes Slimming Clubs are full of women but if followed work and I certainly wouldn't be the weight I am now had I not swallowed a bit of pride and joined.
A really interesting opinion and definitely agree that there is value in what they do. Obviously, we were just in piss-taking mode
I look forward to reading the 15 stages of joining a MVFIA group.
I'd have thought you could have written that one by now
Yes, I'll add it to the list of other things I'm capable of doing but haven't got round to yet.
Without being too controversial SW and WW works in spite of being designed with women at their heart. For men to succeed (awesome work @Ray_Hall by the way) it takes some real personal diligence and effort, spending a majority of the time having to pick through the minefield of advice for women to find what's relevant to us.
That's my opinion, but as with any weightloss scheme, if something works for you individually then stick to it
SW/WW do absolutely work and I'm a big fan of them in general (I'm not a man obviously but I lost 5 stone on WW so know it very well) - certainly didn't mean to put them down too much!
Well done on your weight loss, fantastic work!
Well done mate fantastic. WW did work for me, but in the end they closed near me. I found it too based on women. It is not a matter of pride. It is a matter of perspective. The talks, and the magazines are aimed squarely at women. I was waiting to go in and be weighed was close to the front of the queue. The leader came out stood right in front of me and shouted "sorry ladies I'm running late". She was stood next to me. There are a few all male WW sessions but they are few and far between.
