Hi all, I am fairly new on here but have been lurking for a while, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post, forgive me if not, but I wonder if anyone could spare a minute or two to offer advice?
I don't have a huge amount to lose, probably about a stone but at 5'1 that makes quite a difference so I have been following (loosely) SW Extra Easy SP. I should mention that I don't go on the scales as I find this counter productive but I have key items of clothing which I try on once a week and they are not getting one bit looser and in fact I have had to go up a cup size with bras! I can't think what I am doing wrong but I am sure someone can enlighten me. Like I said, I am trying the Extra Easy SP. Generally for healthy extra I have one or two weetabix a day (separately) with almond milk or three ryvita dark with two laughing cow light blue cheese, differing times of the day, not necessarily breakfast. Sometimes a level table spoon linseeds. I have generally substituted tea and coffee with herbal tea, maybe three a day, in which I have half teaspoon honey (syns). If out I have tea with splash of skimmed milk. One capuccino a week (skimmed milk). Lunch is usually a salad with either chicken, tinned salmon, hard boiled egg, ham with tomato, cucumber, raw carrot, celery, tinned sweetcorn, pickled beetroot, small amount reduced fat coleslaw, no dressings. Sometimes a small tin of eat smart baked beans with scrambled egg (no oil). Main meal is grilled meat or fish, various, with vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, swede. A little gravy and sometimes yorkshire pudding (syns). I do my own curry with tinned toms, onion, tom puree (no oil), carrots, cauliflower, courgettes, swede, green lentils, red kidney beans and mixed beans, stock cube, curry powder. Two or three pieces of fruit a day, speed fruits with a small banana every other day. For snacks FF fromage frais with sugar free jelly and danone light and free yogs, no more than two a day. That's about it really. So I have no idea what more I can do really. I am finding this soul destroying, jeans I can't do up, bulging out all over, meanwhile husband is following the old SW red and losing at least one to two kg a day!!!!!! (admittedly he has 5 stone to lose). Grateful thanks to anyone who has time to reply and good luck with weight loss journey to all.
