Thread: Weight loss stopped?

Hi all this is my 1st time posting on here
Just after soe advice, I started sw in July and have currently lost 3 stone 11lb, I set myself mini targets and so far have met each of them with hard work and determination, my biggest target so far is to lose 4 stone by the time I'm 30 next week! I was so close and only needed 4 pound with 4 weeks to go and thought I would well have it by how however my weight loss has stopped! I have tried cramming in speed foods but nothing is working, I'm not a big eater and never have been on the diet, the last few weeks I have been having half a melon for breakfast with 2 hifi lite bars from heb, homemade blended veg soup for lunch and then a normally healthy evening meal slag Bol or something similar. I just can't think why it's stopped, it's not as though I am close to target as I still have over 2stone to go. Can anyone help please? I'm praying for my 3 pound loss on tue in time for my birthday on thurs x

It could be that you're not eating enough and that's why your weight loss has slowed. Are you eating all your syns and healthy extras?

Hi Jaq, I've never been a big eater I just physically can't eat massive amounts, I rarely have healthy a, and generally save my syns up for the weekend when I have 3 bottles of cider which are 10 syn each, unless I have a options hot choc through the week which is 2 syns or a drop of gravy on a meal x

Looks to me like you're not eating enough, quick rough estimate that you're easily eating less than a thousand calories a day. I know slimming world isn't calorie controlled but I always think it's handy when unsure of how much or how little you're eating

I agree with the others hun - try mixing things up so you are getting lots of variety as its easy to get in a rut and eat more free foods. Youdo not need to eat huge meals though just eat smaller meals more often

3 bottles cider at 10 syns each = 30 syns
Sw say you must have between 35 - 105 syns per week
So think everyone's right - your not eating enough

best advice. Go through your food diary and tot up what you have eaten in calories, just to see. If it is coming in under a thousand there's your problem. You arent eating enough and your metabolism is slowing right down to compensate.
