yep lost 2.5 stone post baby weight which I've kept off, now back on it to shift the last 1stone 13lbs (8lbs gone so far) It's fairly easy to stick to the principles long term and it's v family friendly. Got to love ham as a snack.

It would cost about a fiver to go along to a class, join, have the whole thing explained to you by an expert, take the books home, and never go back if you don't want to. Assuming you can join when there is no joining fee, which happens a lot.

Also bear in mind that the more generous your portion the more likely your loss is to stall (from the experience of people in the class I went to).

Eating huge amounts of pasta at a sitting won't help. You need to stop eating when full.

I do agree with DDB though, get to a class for the books and explanation and you don't have to go back.

Its also the time spent getting there and attending that is another problem. If anyone can point me in the right direction on ebay I would be most grateful

I found this forum http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/ very useful when I was doing SW. I had my Mum's old books and was just doing it myself at home and managed to find loads of good recipes, tips and syn values on there.

Clowe there are some starter packs here - they brought out new books in January, the old ones work perfectly well but they have made a few tweaks (changed syn values for some foods, changed the amount of cereal you can have, etc) so it's up to yourself whether you want the newest version or the previous ones.
