Hi everyone, I've been following slimming world for about 24 weeks now. Here is a record of my loses. The first five weeks I lost -1, -1, -1, -1, -2 not bad losses but not great either I was following extra easy and was enjoying it well sticking 100% to plan, the next week then I lost 3.5 pounds, I was very surprised by this as although I'd be sticking to most days, there was one day in this week where I was at a family get together and went totally off plan, yet I still had my biggest lost so far on this week. The next three weeks my losses were -1.5, -1.5, -1 these weeks I was following extra easy and wasn't cutting back at all just following plan 100%, then for the next nine weeks my loses were +1/2, MT, -1/2, -1/2, +1/2, +1, -1, MT, -1/2 even though I was still following extra easy 100% and having between five *and twelve syns a day, one of these weeks I was even doing a succes express ( think it was one were I lost 1/2 a pound) but still wasn't seeing great results. I was getting really sick of following the plan and not seeing any results so I decided to be a bit stricter and tried a strict version of the original plan, I did a week were everyday my diet was basically:
Breakfast: *porridge, muller light and small amount of super speed fruit.
Lunch: bowl of fruit salad and a muller light.
Dinner: bowl of fruit salad, muller lght and two hifi lights.
Syns: curly wurly (6 syns)
And that was it, *no snacks or anything more. That week I lost 4 pounds and was sooooo chuffed and thought I could stick to that plan forever and see fabulous results. But after a few days into the next week I realised it just wasnt realisitc and I was far too hungry. So I had two bad days early in that week and gained 3 pounds as expected. The next week I was back on plan original but less strict and lost 2.5 pounds but I think that was because of the large gain the week before. For the last few weeks I've been doing a mix of extra easy and original eating a lot of fruit and yoghurts but always feeling bad after having snacks even though it's only fruit and my loses have been: *+1 , MT, + 1/2, MT which I fid very dissappointing as I really believe I've been following plan 100%, sadly I don't have any food diaries but a basic day would probably be:
Breakfast:
fruit, muller light, two hifis
Lunch:
lean beef, carrots, turnip and potatoes
**
Dinner: cauliflower and mushy peas
Snack: bowl of fruit and a muller light, maybe sometimes more fruit throughout the day
Syns: *a crunchie and a pink and white
That's just an average day, I do have quite a varied diet I think, and I'm always getting my third superfree, and even on extra easy wouldn't dream of snacking on something like a mugshot, just fruit and yog. Rarely eat pasta, carbs are mostly rice or potatoes don't eat much of them anyway. I'm never really very hungry, but never very full either, *sometimes just get a bit annoyed about poor weightloss and eat lots of fruit when I don't /really/ need it. This week I've been trying succes express because I thought that might help, but so far the scales have been showing a MT/-1/2/+1 (I know I shouldn't be weighing but I just always do! lol) so I'm feeling very upset, just haven't a clue what to do or what plan to follow, I'm willing to try anything! Have tried scan bran, and drinking more water but haven't seen any noticeable results. Just wondering if anyone has any advice for me? Sorry to post such a long post but really wanted to have a good chat with consultant this week but she isn't going to be at group this week (which is tomorrow) and isn't great at keeping in contact over phone or text so I'm really at my wits end! I *know I haven't got much more to lose, just over a stone but surely after 23 or 24 weeks I should be seeing better results than 13 pounds? My sister had the same amount to lose and has roughly the same stats as me and got to target in about 12 weeks, same with mum who had same stats and a bit less to lose. I just really don't know what to do. :/*

but I know if I want it off for good, patience is key. It's just frustrating when everyone around me seems to be having steady losses, and I'm up and down up and down like a rollercoaster! I would be absolutely delighted at a pound of a week but I haven't been getting steady losses like that since I started SW, and that eventually stopped a few weeks in. But I'm going to try three or four weeks at extra easy, just sticking 100% to plan and see how it goes, even if I lost 1/2 a pound a week I'd be happy!
