Weightwatchers/Slimming World

Hello :] I was just wondering if anybody has ever used either weightwatchers or slimming world to lose weight, and if so which one worked best for them? im just a size 12 at the moment but have put on a bit of weight recently and i would like to lose about 10 pounds really.but i dont think il be able to do it without having some sort of structured meeting to go to like one of those two.
ive done weightwatchers before but it was about 5 years ago so i dont know if its changed a lot or not. i remember you used to have to pay if you missed a meeting, does anybody know if you still do, as sometimes i have irregular shifts at work so i might not be able to go to the meeting every single week. also what do you actually do on slimming world? iv heard of red and green days but dont really know what it entails.
iv started going swimming twice a week and using my mums running machine twice a week too, is this likely to make any difference or is that just a bare minimum of exercise i should be doing? i didnt really do any exercise at all before that
any hints/tips/experience would be grateful.

Good luck :thumb:
I did it a few years ago and again this year. I don't think it has changed much as far as the online part goes. They now give you options of "filling foods" (some vegis, fruits and high fiber things) but that was a bit pointless I thought.
Plus I loved being able to find healthy recipes.
Does your sister's cola addiction involve diet or normal coke? I'm wondering because I drink 1 or 2 glasses of diet coke most days. At just 1 cal per 250ml glass, surely that isn't a problem? The only problem I'd that you would have is if you didn't brush your teeth regularly?
just had a look at rosemary conley franki, seems like it works but im such a fussy eater i think weightwatchers would be better for me cos at least then i can eat what i want as long as i dont go over the points. i lost a stone last time i did WW so hopefully i can do it again. gonna go to the meeting on monday, im worried il see people i know though haha! not sure why it bothers me but oh well.
