Advice needed thinking of rejoining

[kirsty_baird_26]

Hey,

Im really stuck in a rut and don't know what to do!!

Iv done sw before and lost over 1 stone and then couldn't lose anything else i paid each week for a few months and sts or gained playing with the same few pounds i even tried the express thing and still didnt work. This was the first time i went to class, i rejoined after gaining back the stone and only managed to lose 5lbs before same thing happened.

I have PCOS and an underactive thyroid (recently been put on a small dose of thyroxine since January), iv been trying to lose weight by eating 1000-1300 cals a day but only lost 2lbs this month and its really got me down, last month was just 0.5lb so considering trying slimming world again i really want to lose around 2.7 stone. I excercise each day - at least 40 minutes power walking and go to Zumba for an hour on a Tuesday! I am also going to start a step class on a monday.

Does anyone else have similar problems? Any advice for me?

Really confused as most my friends and family are telling me not to go back to sw as didn't work the last time i tried to rejoin - i lost 5lbs and then couldn't lose anymore but there is a new consultant at my old class now and im tempted to try again.

Thanks so much for listening!!

I would say there's no harm in trying it again. The worst that can happen is what's happening now-you're not losing weight. In saying that, with your thyroid problems 1-2lbs a month is probably quite good (I say probably as I have no medical knowledge whatsoever) and shouldn't be sniffed at (if only I could practise what I preach) ...it's better than gaining

You sound like you're doing great on the exercise front too and don't forget even if you're not 'losing weight' you will be toning up Good luck!

Thanks hun i appreciate it!

Lol my boyfriend said that i should be glad to have lost but i just feel i need to try sw again to see if it helps at least i would need to weigh foods etc all the time!

Just curious to see if others in similar situation to me lose any weight with sw!

Thanks so much for reply!

That's what I enjoy about SW...large portions haha! I totally get your frustration, I've been majorly struggling recently and I have no medical reason to...unless we can call biscuit addiction a mental illness? Good luck and make sure to keep posting here, the lads and ladies are fab <3

Goodluck with rest of your journey just seen your stats im around same weight and hoping to get to around between 10-10.7 as thats lowest iv maintained before!
