Keep at it xx

well i would have red meat once a week, and i havent noticed any undesirable effects

i also have chinese takeaway on a sat nite, again no nasty side affects, but i thik this is because i drain all the curry sauce onto my hubbies plate, and i "fish" my chicken outta any remaining sauce, and then the boiled rice is free, tho i do have some chips, but so far so good.

i really do find the Xen helps keep me on the straight and narrow, i dont want to eat something bad and then pay for it later

That's my feelings on it too, I've just bought myself a piece of steak for tea, gonna have it with loads of veggies, still have 300 cals left so may have some home made wedges...

i will update tomorrow on what else i have in terms of syns etc,

but so far, another syn free day

sorry i have been away so long, i didnt fall off the wagon or anything, just had very limited access to the web this past while,

but i am back now, having dropped 25lbs since my last visit

since i started my SW journey on 4th july 2011 i have dropped from 18.1 to my current weight as of mondays weigh in of 13.10.5

now, my losses have slowed right down,

i should not really be complaining cause Xmas week, i lost 1.5lbs, New yrs week 1lb, then the first week of Jan 3lbs, but then the following two weigh ins, i only lost 0.5 at each, followed by a maintain this week,

now i was so good, i cannot tell you, lots of walking, sticking to the Slimming World plan, taking the Xen. doing everything right.

has anyone else out there fallen foul of the dreaded plateau?

i really should not complain, that was my first ever STS since i started, 28 weeks ago. i had lost something (everything between 5lbs and 0.5lbs) every week

but i need to get it moving again

i have set a new target of 11.12, so i am 1.12.5 off target

anyone any ideas?

i have done 3 days on the slimming world "success express" plan this week, so i am really hoping that helps

does any one know if Xen becomes ineffective after a period of time? or is this plateau natural in most cases?

Good to see you back! You have done amazing!!

I remember someone saying to me ages ago (bunny) if you start to plateau drop your kcals and/ or increase or change your exercise plan..

And to continue being positive

Gosh you've done amazingly - well done!!!! I read somewhere that xen can play with your metabolism & slow weight loss towards the end of your journey, my Doc told me this can be true so I'm only on 1-2 a day as am petrified of plateauing this early in my journey..... Hope it starts moving for you again x

but i promised myself on 4th july last year, i was doing this rite, no messing around, for once and for all....so i will keep going..

i am a much better shape recently and i can start to feel myself a lot lighter, so i am gonna hang on in there!

thanks, i hadnt heard that, i might well drop back to 1 or 2 a day,

one of my meals (breakfast) is fruit, yoghurts and a SW Cereal bar, so i could cut the Xen from that meal maybe?

Only time I ever take one with breakfast is i I have an egg otherwise I stockpile that one..... I take one with my hot meal of the day but most days that's it now

welcome back , i am only just back after falling off the wagon big time well done on your loss, your doing amazing!!

ahh thank you, im hanging on in there, and hoping it pays off!

im sure you havent been as bad as you think!

ahh well....ate fruit and yoghurts all day, so not much need for for them anyways

Oopsie
