Weight loss programmes

My mum is a Sureslim consultant and she has helped so many people to lose weight. The thing about Sureslim is that you HAVE to stick at it and in the beginning, yes it is hard, because part of it is a detox programme. Carbs are not branded as evil, you are allowed to eat carbs, you just have to limit them to a few slices of bread a day or five crackers. For a lot of people the reason is because they have a carb sensitivity (like myself) and eating too many carbs is the reason I put on weight.

Sure, it's nearly $1000 but it doesn't have to be an up-front payment, you can pay it off and that's for your years membership, all your consultations, your blood tests, your personalised diet and all the help you need.

From what my mum told me, she never felt hungry, the nuts and seeds you have to buy can come from the supermarket/bin inn, there might be a few things that you will have to get from them if you can't find them anywhere else, but basically everything you eat you can buy from the supermarket, the portion sizes of vegetables and protein are large enough so that you feel like you are getting a decent meal.

Sureslim does work, but it's the kind of thing you have to stick at. The reason it is so hard I think is because it is often a programme that people have been referred to by their doctor, for example they are morbidly obese (not everyone of course) and they find it difficult to exercise, so their path to weight loss is pretty much food based to begin with. Sureslim takes into account any kind of health issue you have, like diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and is medically designed to suit you and you only, so your programme will never be the same as anyone elses.

And you know what, I don't do sureslim, but I've lost 10KG in the past two months just by drinking lots of water, trying to limit myself to two slices of bread a day, not eating after 7PM, eating more fruit and vegetables and the most important one is eating breakfast!

Good luck!

Oh and definitely go along to the free sureslim seminar to learn more!

Hey Renee,
Interesting reading! Sure Slim actually works out cheaper if you have a lot of weight to lose, compared to paying for weekly meeting fees at weight watchers (which are $18 a pop now, though discounted if you buy in advance).

Carbs may not be evil, but I do like with weight watchers that I can have as much as I like as long as I allow for it in my points. What I personally didn't like about sure slim was how strict it was.

I am not so sure about the individual diet as the 4 people I have known that did it, their diet was exactly the same, though would guess a diabetic or someone with a heart condition etc would get an individualised plan

Their programmes would probably be the same or very similar if they were all in the same weight bracket maybe. Definitely different if you were to have a medical condition or if you were a man.

I do know a bit about Sureslim but I get it mixed up sometimes. My mum is the expert, and she lost all her weight initially on Weight Watchers, so there you go.

yummymummy - I'm like that, once I get a taste for something I can't stop. So I would probably eat my points in chocolate lol.

Thanks for the tip

Ooohhh Thank you! I tried looking but couldn't find one

I've done quite well over xmas I think - it'll tell tomorrow. I did weigh myself today at home and was under what I was at my last weigh in at WW. So fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Yep I agree with a weight loss section. I'll def be joining after this bubba is born.

I did WW a few years ago and it worked well for me. It taught me how to make changes that I could live with and keep up. I needed the meetings - it made me feel accountable to someone else. I've also done SS (then got preggers with Ollie and it went out the window!). It did work, though I personally found it a bit restrictive. It doesn't help that I have little will power and a DH with even less! A friend of mine also did SS for TCC and she has kept the weight off really well, though sadly no bubba as yet

right......

i have a bus trip to go on in feb and i want to loose 5kg for it so....i've just decided, tomorrow i'm going to take a pic of my flabby guts and post it on here. i'll be walking and doing pilates, eating good stuff and each week, i'll post a new pic of my shrinking belly.........anyone care to join me?

I am on the core programme at WW and finding it fabulous. i really like restrictive nature of it as at times i would rather just pass than eat a bit, and am crap at tracking. My GF is on sureslim, after being on WW, she actually found out through the blood tests that she is a diabetic, so the programme has been great for her as she has a medical programme.

My DH wants to join the police force and has to lose about 12kg to get into a healthy BMI, so it looks like lots of healthy food for us over the next 3 months or so.

Mel, we had a brief look into that Tony Ferguson a while ago, and you have to buy heaps of supplements! So while you're only paying 30 something for the membership, it's the added extras that would hurt your pocket, I'd imagine!

I put on 200g over Christmas and lost that plus some last week! Pretty stoked!!
