I have a thread in slimming world, and I vowed to stick with Sw.
Am feeling disheartened by my loss - 2lbs in first 2 weeks.
I always repeat this pattern so vowed not to but.....
Would it be weird to low carb but still attend Sw weigh in?!
Here's the thing. When I low carb I can go for ages between meals, I'm not really bothered about food. It works for me up to the point when I cave in and eat pizza etc. HOWEVER..... What I never used to do was weigh myself (had a bit of a phobia). Joining Sw along with my husband has given me a focus, knowing I'm going to be weighed.
He is doing really well at Sw, 11lbs in 2 weeks, and as he is so overweight I really want to encourage him and carry on going with him.
I'll be honest, pasta aside, the SW diet doesn't really suit me. Despite eating loads of free and speed food I constantly feel hungry and bloated at the same time. I have to really plan meals to take to work etc, whereas when low carbing if I don't eat for 6 hours it's not a problem. However I have stuck to it and not cheated, knowing I'm going to be weighed.
But I don't want to be a quitter.
It seems Sw works for everyone, so is it just me feels like crap on it?
Another change I've made is to stop drinking, as I drank a lot when low carbing and I think this probably led to it not working very well.
Perhaps I should just try 2 weeks low carbing and if I have a loss on both of them then there's my answer? (first week loss will undoubtedly be water weight)
I'd appreciate any thoughts.
