Hiya,
I've been doing SW since 5th April and to be honest I am feeling totally disheartened. I started off ok in my 1st week, losing 4lbs, then 2lbs in my 2nd week. Week 3 I was on holiday from work and to be honest I didn't stick to it very well, but I didn't go mad and yet I still managed to gain 3lbs! Then last week I only lost 1lb despite expecting to at least lose what I had put on! I know some of you will be thinking that I should be happy with that but my sister has nearly lost a stone in the same time frame despite only doing slimming world for about 4 days out of the week if that. She has had takeaways and all sorts and I just don't understand why I am struggling to shift the weight. I am being really good apart from that off week, I am exercising too, which I never did much of before and I would expect that to help with the weight loss.
I read about all these people losing loads on SW and I really want it to work for me but I am worried that it won't. I am over 17 stone so I would expect that I should lose weight quite quickly. I am a vegetarian so do green days, do you think this could be why? I have a minor heart complaint (had it since birth) so really need to lose weight but I am beginning to lose faith. I feel better in myself, and I think that makes it worse I keep expecting to get on the scales and see a significant loss and when it doesn't live up to what I feel I am bitterly disappointed! I know I shouldn't compare myself to others but it is just so frustrating when my sister doesn't stick to the plan and still loses more than me!
Anyone got any advice? Thanks, Joolz
