Hi,
I've been lurking on here for a few weeks (sorry) but finally plucked up the courage to register (I think somewhere in my psyche that must mean that I know I MIGHT get through the next 90 days!).
I'm on day 10 and could do with some advice as I'm having a real 'Down day' today.
I have stuck religiously to the programme (except one day last week where I only drank 3 litres) but seem to not be losing much. It was really demoralising at my first weigh in to have the lowest loss. Most people in my group lost around 10lbs, but I lost 6.5lbs. Went for a pop in today and have only lost anouther 0.5 lb so total weightloss is only 7lbs. I lost 10lbs in my first two weeks of Weight Watchers (both times) and that was far easier than this!
THe other thing is that my mum is also on the programme at the same stage as me (though she is in the morning group while I am in the evening). We are carbon copies of each other and both weighed 14.01 when we started but she has already lost 13lbs.
HAs anyone else had a slow start? Is there anything I can do to guarantee bigger losses? I really need to see the big losses to keep motivated.
THe other thing is that I am struggling with the packs today. Is this normal for your tastes to change? Last week I loved the vanilla and the chocolate and caramel. Today I could only stomach the soups and also my first nut crunch bar (which I actually enjoyed even though it tasted like cardboard!). I'm not sure I can survive another 12 weeks on thai chilli and nut crunch alone!!!
Sorry to waffle on - any advice gratefully received
