Hi all
First post for a long long time. I finally got myself back into gear and back into Slimming World and attending class. I've been really 'in the zone' and once I've got that mindset have been able to shift weight relatively quickly. However, I've only lost 13lbs in 6 weeks. and have had a 3lb gain in that time which was just not understandable. I know it's about being in it for the long term and 2lb a week is good going. However, I'm finding it very difficult to keep momentum. Other larger people in the group (I'm 20st) are losing 3-6lb consistently every week.
I'm following plan to the letter, my snacks are speed food as are the bulk of meals and I have relatively few carbs. I've also cut out a bottle of wine on a nightly basis that I'd got in the habit of habit so would have thought that would have yielded results.
I've also tried adding up the calories, as a double check, to see if any fruit was taking calorific intake up. I'm generally on 1200 during the week and 1500 max on a weekend. I'm drinking water/diet drinks and I do drink a lot.
Any clues/tips/advice gratefully received.
