Best ways to boost weight loss ?

[katsmad64]

Hi, First of all just want to start by saying that I'm quite happy with my weight loss so far . At my age I know my own body & know that I've never been one of the ( lucky ones ) & lose more than 2lbs in one week. Just wondering if there is something that I'm missing as would like to try & give my weight loss a boost . Would be so happy if just for a couple of weeks I could lose a bit more maybe 2lbs per week . I'm no saint but do feel I stick to the plan have changed my eating habbits completely been more active drinking more water cut out take a ways all general rubbish plus no booze either ! Thanks x

Hi

I'm only in my 4th week of slimming world and have only lost 2lbs (I am 19 weeks pregnant though lol) but i was wondering the same thing. I'm also a slow loser and I always stick to plan so know where you are coming from. I had a wee look around minimins the other day and read about the Scan Bran challenge. Basically you eat 5 scan bran each day for 5 to 7 days and it's really meant to boost your weight loss. Think it's quite hard to stick to though coz it's a LOT of scan bran to eat. Anyways i'm doing this from tomorrow as that'll be my weigh in day and can stock up on scan bran. I'll count them as a healthy extra B choice. Doing this challenge certainly won't do any harm and i reckon it's worth a go.

Some people swear by doing red weeks, less carbs and more veg might help to increase your losses a little, you sound like you're doing really well though, 1-2lb a week is excellent.

I find 1-2lb a week is really good for me. I don't have huge losses either, I've never lost half a stone in a week like some people do, even at this size. It took me 18 months to lose just over 6st the first time I lost weight, but I was happy with that as I was still living a 'normal' life while losing weight, which I prefer.

Good luck. x

ive had a few weeks that ive lost 1.5 and ive been gutted about it so i decied that for the week ahead im having at least 3 litres of water , doing 3x gym classes per week i tend to cut out carbs the day before weigh in - so for my dinner it would be like a chicken salad or a nice big pot of soup.
drink 3 cups of green and peppermint tea throughout the day
only have 1 yoghurt a day
stick to about 5-7 syns, although weekend i do use abotu 10.

when i do this i loose around 3lb.
Hopefully this helps
