Hi!

Sometimes it's just the way our bodies work - they get a shock and it takes time to adjust! Did you weigh your healthy extras and keep a diary just to make sure you didn't miss anything? Jut trust the plan and keep focussed, it'll all work out in the end.
Yes I've religiously weighed my healthy extras and kept a food diary, really hope I lose at least 3lbs next week!
People either have bumper loss 1st or 2nd wk so keep going and see how u go on at next wi x
I feel your pain! I'm on week 2 and only lost a scabby half pound this week and 1.5lb on week one ... I wouldn't mind, I've eaten enough fruit to sink a ship an hardly had any syns! :cry:
Glad it's not just me - hopefully we'll both do better next week! I've had loads of fruit and veg, and around 9-14 syns each day. Are you having enough syns?
Don't think I have been having enough syncs really, and I haven't been eating lunch either so gonna work on that this week an hope it helps!
*syns*
Think some ppl are just slower losers...I lost 2.5lb first wk, then 1lb 2nd wk (but did cheat cos wore lighter clothes!) and this wk gained 1lb...so overall lost 2.5lb in first 3wks even tho i have 5st to lose....I stick to it, measure HE's, use 12-14syns a day, eat sensible etc, ITS NOT FAIR!!!!!
Was shocked when I only lost 1lb, was expecting 3! Kac - I made the leek and potato soup for lunch today and its amazing, you should try it!
I lost 1lb in my 1st week
I've lost over 3 stone now
It works, trust it.
This may be why! You must eat all your syns, trust the plan, trust us, keep going!Quote:

Think my body is only just gettin used to having regular food, my usual 'diet' tactics include just drinking coffee and the occasional cuppa soup for several weeks at a time, needless to say, all this food I'm consuming on SW is a bit of a shock to the system :eek:
Could also have something to do with your start weight. Those who start off bigger usually lose more weight per week than those who have less to lose. As long as you're losing, then I honestly wouldn't complain. You're doing fine :)Quote:

I felt very disheartened on Wednesday after my 1/2lb loss BUT I've picked myself up and set myself an 8-week Gold Body Magic challenge to really give myself the best chance possible. Just stick with it hon. I know it is disheartening when you see people in group having massive losses but there are so many sweethearts on here who have been through the same slow losses at the start and have since lost 2/3/4/5/6 stones! Keep with it, it will work!! :bighug:
