I know its hard but try not to be disheartened,what were you doing before slimming world? This could have an impact on your losses x
 
Thanks

Hi

Thanks for your post. I was doing calorie controlled for a while and limiting to 1700 a day but found I was hungry and got fed up of counting hence SW ee.

i am not going to give up I am on week three and I feel better so I hope for a loss on Saturday to keep me motivated as I don't want to go three weeks with not much loss as I only have 154 days to my wedding

fingers crossed the ee way works
 
Im sure it will work your body might just need longer to adjust from the calorie counting.I normally follow sw green or ee for 5 days a week then calorie count for 2 days just because I feel more in control that way & that im sure im def not overeating on those 2 days.Its not everyones cup of tea but its working for me at the moment.Goodluck on your journey x

Thanks for for your encouragement. Your plan seems to be working you have had good losses. Well done

Hi I'm new to this and sw! I'm on my 3rd week now. I started of at 10.2 and now an 9.12. I'm reading about people losing so much weight in the first few weeks! Why isn't that happening for me? Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything else I could do?? Here's my diary for today:
Breakfast: 2 weetabix with 250ml semi skimmed milk and then a banana
Lunch: 1 wholemeal bread, 2 eggs, beans with salad
Dinner: Bolognese made with quorn mince and salad
Snack: grapes
Syns, baked hoops and crosses = 4 syns
2X Fun size bag of maltesers = 5.5 syns

Thank you xxx
 
Hi Kiren your food sounds good it might be that you don't have as much weight to lose as other people but you are losing weight so keep up the good work :)
 
Thank you for the reply tamkat. I sometimes worry I'm not having enough salad and fruit! My 3rd a plate! Or could I not be loosing as much weight as my portion sizes are too big!! Xxx
 
Well my third weigh in today and I sts again. I have been good and ate loads of super free foods and I still can't lose any weight. What am I doing wrong?

should I try green instead?

all advice welcome
thx
 
Yes I do but I do it via SW online website so not sure how to show that here

i track everything and am eating tons more fruit than I ever did before and snacking wise I snack on fruit and at night a mug shot. Going for another ee day today and hope and pray that this week something happens
thx
 
I would def try green or red week,they worked for lots of people before ee came along.I have nothing against ee but maybe it just doesn't work for everyone? Be good to see some of the food you are eating so someone can help its really not fair for you to have stayed the same again so early on the plan xx
 
Food diary helped me. I was super good and did EE religiously, and had two weeks of no weight loss. I had mostly superfree foods and 5 syns per day or less. It turned out I wasn`t eating enough calories to actually lose anything. It was strange to actually increase my calories and use more syns and sure enough, got three pounds off that week.
 
I lost 2kg in the next 2 weeks after that, but this week it was only 0.5kg off. I`m now going to use the diary to eat the same foods for another week to try lose 1kg a week.Trial and error :sigh:
 
Well done on your loss

i am a bit nervous about weigh in tomorrow. I have eaten well so far today and conscious of following the ee plan to the letter

hope you have a good week. Let me know how you get on
 
I will, and hope you get on well too. By eating my main meal at lunch time, it helps "burn it off" rather than eating later at night (dinner was around 7pm)
