Thread: sick sick sick!

well done Kellie glad you have found something that works for you and good luck for your journey x

Kiss Me I think your comment was totally wrong! Just because you have cheated in the past doesnt mean that others have! I have been doing this diet for 4 weeks and have only lost 3 1/2lb in that time and NO I havent cheated at all I have been 100% the whole time. I used a meal replacement diet before sw and I think my body is adjusting to eating or the plan isnt quite right for me but I am sticking at it as I want to get back to goal in a healthy way.
I hope you never have a 100% week where you have a gain and then get accused of cheating! Its hard enough losing slower than others without being called a liar!!

Well done on your fantastic loss with ww! I've done ww in the past, and it did work for me but I really felt like I was on a diet and was always counting points. I personally get on better with sw as I like not having so many 'rules', but I do have to vary what I eat to keep losing.

Good luck everybody, whatever plan you're following.

Well done on your loss hun, whilst SW didn't work for you (for whatever reason) - I wonder this.... did you give your consultant your food diaries for the 4 weeks? Did you get your money back? SW have a promise that you will lose weight within 4 weeks, providing you hand in your food diaires, or you get your money back. Did she offer any support or advice?

For those who think their appetite is too big for SW, I disagree... I have a very big appetite and lost weight successfully on SW. These days I have changed things slightly as I only snack on superfree (not big bowls of pasta as I used to) but this is because I enjoy my days off plan and it compensates.

For those who say weighing in an evening disagrees with you, why? Okay so you weigh more in an evening than a morning but weight loss is all relative surely? If you have lost 2lb over the week it will show morning or evening. The scales and number look better in a morning for certain but other than that I can't see a difference.

I think you have all been a bit hard on kissme, she is correct - so many people cheat, either knowingly or unknowingly. A girl at my group was consuming up to an extra 15 syns a day avocados and smoked makerel (sp?) thinking they were a free food - unknowingly cheating.

I honestly honestly 100% believe that SW should work for everyone. Anyway, good luck with WW - if it works for you then fantastic, we all want the same end result.

oi relax! i had a 100% week this week and gained 1.5lb things like that happen dont get a bee in your bonnet! I'm allowed to have an opinion. One woman at my class gained this week after starting the same week I did and gained 3 lb, because she was eating 6 mugshots and 6 mullerlights a day thats her daily calorie allowance befor anything else she ate.

Yeah and I am allowed an opinion too and I think that your assumption that anyone who gains is cheating is wrong!!
My consultant has read my diaries (and yes I wrote down EVERYTHING I ate) and she was shocked at my slow losses but she also said that considering everything my body has been through (losing 7st in 6 months, being pregnant with twins and gaining 4 stone, losing 2st in 6 weeks and then starting sw) she isnt suprised that it is playing catch up!

Yes I agree it is easy to misjudge things and add syns without realising but it isnt always the case and can be very upsetting to be told you must be cheating when you definately arent!!

I think the key with the SW plan is the way it trains you to reach for Superfree foods if you're hungry (for snacks) rather than free foods/Syns.

As Kissme said, if you're eating more than you should be a day because you're snacking on things like mugshots and Mullers (which are around 250 and 100 cals respectively) then switching to eating Superfrees (many of which are Speed or Superspeed foods) should see a change in your weight loss.

I'm a real comfort eater, I love my bread, pasta, potatoes etc. I tried EE to start with but other than the first week I had no weight loss! I've now stuck (as much as possible) to Original days and I've finally started to see the scales move!

I would just like to put a different slant to this cheating knowingly or unknowingly. I have been doing SW on the extra easy plan for only 10 days now and im loving it. However i gain weight if i eat pasta or in fact many wheat products, regardless what i eat them with. I dont have celiacs disease in case anyone is wondering Not only do i gain weight but my stomach becomes about the size of Brazil and i even get some slight bloating in my face (Not attractive in the slightest) I have come to accept that many people successfully lose weight on green days (many seem to eat a lot of pasta but please correct me if im wrong) but not me although i wouldnt have cheated in the slightest. I'm so glad though that over the years ive worked this out and it just proves that our bodies are all different for whatever reason. Good luck to everyone on their journeys, we're all the same side arent we and we obviously get very passionate about things close to our heart.

Kelly i hope your thyroid function test comes back normal and good luck chic x x

3.5lb is a great loss, and you should be proud. But not many people have coped with what you have.

Some people come here (and we are all here for the same reason) try it for a week and leave, or spend the next 6 weeks moaning about it.

I shouldn't of made that assumption but you do hear people come on here and moan when have put on and then you find out they had 2 takeaways or a massive night of drinking or binged all week. Your situation is totally different and your body has been up and down, but I wasnt to know that, so you can't blame me for not knowing.

If I put on then I have myself blame. I am the one who controls what I put inside my body. So whether I gained from over eating or TOTM or I didnt exercise, I wont spend the next week making excuses where some people on here do. Some people are so easy to give up, It's not a fad diet, It is a lifestyle choice. People forget they not going to drop 8lbs overnight.

I wasn't trying to offend anyone, Or be mean or harsh, but some people don't take responsibility for their own actions and I find that really frustrating.

My comments weren't directed at anyone personally, and i wasn't calling anyone in particular a cheat. But people do tweak! We all do it! even unknowingly! noone in the history of the world has ever done a diet 100% for 100% of the time. If a person had that much self restraint then they would need help with weight loss in the first place as they would of controlled them self.

Some people like you said have allergies and intolerances and it difficult to live with.

I understand that you didnt know my background and in a way that is mainly my point- you shouldnt assume someone has gained because they cheated! and maybe I shouldnt have got so defensive about it but its hard enough losing slowly without being told you must be cheating!

I do completely agree that people expect miracles and that many people tweak the diet and are then shocked that they dont lose.
I also agree that many people dont do it 100% and then moan when it doesnt work.
But I also think that everyone is different and what works for one doesnt work for another ( I am currently experimenting with different days to see if my body prefers a certain type)

oh and when I am on a diet I DO stick to it 100% for 100% of the time (its once I finish the "diet" that I struggle lol) which is why I am sticking with my small losses and sw as I love the healthy balanced attitude to food and believe I can get to goal and stay there this time.

We will all get there in the end in our own way lol

I agree totally and well done on the 100%!! you mst have a shed load of will power

sorry if i offended you i didnt mean to!


congrats! your a lucky lady to have not just 1 but 2 bundles of joy!!!

When I make up my mind to do something I have great willpower unfortunately it runs for the hills the minute I achieve my goal

I actually have 3 bundles of joy as I have a nearly 4 year old aswell!! Its never dull in my house lol

Glad we sorted it out, I can see what you were getting at but I think it was the phrasing of it that got me x
