I must admit i used to be the same and got a similar comment from a colleague but since cutting the fruit down to just normally 1 grapefruit and 1 apple per day, have finally starting losing significantly. Fruit does not work for everyone, just like anything, but as long as you're still getting...

As Laura touched on, to me the most annoying thing is people saying they have eaten like that but have still lost, and I can have been 100% and had a gain! There is nothing more annoying than that I promise you! As for people eating off plan and gaining... again annoying, but some people will...

Your example day seems quite carb heavy. Bananas and pasta are potentially foods that can make you not lose, depending on how you react to carbs (again, everyone different which is why some people get on with red, some with green and some with EE - no answer for everyone!) I remember gaining...

I can only add that if you wake up in the morning already expecting to fall off the wagon then you will do. As hard as this may sound, wake up with positive thoughts, start the day as you mean to go on and tell yourself that you can do it and you will do it because this time, you're determined...

I also think its a fair point regarding calories, and I often do this aswell, ie 100% follow SW, but also just double check that my calories are adding up to a reasonable amount. This really helped me as one week I had an 0.5 gain despite thinking I'd had a really good week - I checked the...

Actually I HAVE heard of a 5 week itch so to last 6 weeks and 4 days you are doing great :) Like OP have said just try to have a small amount of what you want and syn it

No don't be sorry :) I cried because I was touched Thank you once again, all well that ends well although I still wish I had not had to go through that! When you've been putting all your efforts in to something, it's not nice to feel that it isn't paying off. But all your help was invaluable :o

Yeah the Asda sugar free lemon squash is really nice, this is how I drink all my fluids. I have also found that since I've made the effort to drink 6 pints + per day, I am not as hungry and my losses have improved. Apparently even this is not enough, everyone should drink at least 8 pints of...

Yeah I drink my fluids with Asda lemon cordial, it is really nice. I have also found that since I made the effort to drink 6 pints + a day, I am not as hungry and my losses have improved. I don't think the effects can be understimated :)

Hi I just wanted to thank everybody who took the trouble to reply to me (especially chazdiver even if you did make me cry again that was an amazing reply so thank you so much) I just wanted to report that since that nightmare WI I have suddenly lost 5lb, so it seems you were all right, my losses...

Me and my sister both had slow starts, even slightly gaining some weeks, but all of a sudden we are losing really well, everybody is different, just give it a good chance, it is a very healthy and balanced way to lose weight so by the nature of it will not always be super fast

The special K sustain is actually just as nice. You should try it! :)

don't worry because the other thing is if you are new to the gym your losses may be slower for the first couple of weeks but they will come good eventually, just keep on being good and you will be fine :)

I need some advice as seriously considering giving up, I have been doing SW 6 weeks now, have not gone off plan once and in this time have lost 3.5lb Up until 2 weeks ago had lost 5lb which I was happy with, then joined a gym and really threw myself into that aswell and first week gained .5lb...

I think there is something in this because started at the gym 2 weeks ago and since then gained 1.5lb whereas before consistently losing! (and no I'm not overeating to compensate, I'm always ensuring my calories well under 2000) yet my belt I can fasten a hole down and my clothes no longer feel...

exactly same just happened to me,have not been off plan once in the 5 weeks, have been only trying harder and harder every week that goes by, and i have just gained 1lb which means and only lost 3lb in total. I am crying too ! xx

Hi Hayley, I started at the gym last week, I did 7 or 8 hours in total, half gym, half swimming. I put on 1/2 a lb and was absolutely gutted as I had been 100% on plan :cry: I was advised it is water retention which happens when your body isn't used to exercise - it will go down when your...
