Friday weighers

Whoops - half a pound on for me this week..........Ho-hum

 

[kim63]

Wow it looks as tho are quite a few good losses this week & hello to the newbies. I lost 3.5lbs this week, which was a surprise as I dont normally lose so much in the first week, but I have been exercising which really helps with my losses!
I went to Zumba for the first time last night & have never laughed so much....great fun & an excellent workout, as I was rather 'sweaty' by the end of it & I will be going back again. Mind you I did take it fairly easy as I didnt want any of the metal work in my neck popping out lol!!!!

Just a quick question.....what plans do you all follow?
The reason Im asking is, when I lost the 38lbs last year it took me 38 weeks to lose it & I didnt particularly stick to one plan throughout the week i.e monday red day, tuesday green day wednesday extra easy day.....looking back thru my diaries I never stuck to a red/green/extra easy for the whole week......could that be why I was a slowish loser, on average losing a pound a week, (I know thats what SW advocates tho)? This first week I stuck to Red all week & lost 3.5lbs, but it was my first week??!! Am doing Red again this week, so we shall see.....would be curious to see what you all do & what your losses are like...BLB I know you do green as you're a veggie.
Thanks
Kim x

Well done on fab loss Kim.

I aways used to do just red days, but I now do a mixture of red and green. I can't live with EE as I need my two HEXs!

I think it's quite personal really - I've seen massive losses on here from people who only do EE. But I must have to admit for me, I always have better losses on red days. I have had 3 roast dinners (I don't have roast potatoes) this week and a large loss - my OH thinks it's great!! He thinks we should start a 'roast dinner' diet!

Good job on the loss Kim

I do best on Red, but will have the occasional EE day if I want rice. For me the red days fit better with the kinds of things I like to eat. If I actually stuck to the plan 100% I bet it would be 2 pounds a week, but since I don't I'm usually a pound a week off...and totally okay with that

1.5 off for me this week Might have been more but yesterdays dinner is still sitting heavy in my tummy. I finally feel like I'm getting back into the swing of things after the Christmas break, and it's not a chore to eat properly and exercise.

Well done to everyone this week!

Ive only been doing slimming world since november but only done extra easy so far, Im on a slow loss though. Considering trying red and green though but not sure I could put together nice meals!?!

You can have almost the exact same meals as EE if you're willing to use a HexB. The other night we had steak, roast potatoes and sauteed veggies. I just had to measure my spuds before hand to see how many I could have...and it was a lot!

I know SW isn't about portion control, but I like how the Red (and Green) days limit the things that I would over-consume. Might not work for everyone, but I find it does for me.

Well done on the losses, ladies! Don't worry about the wee gain, Annya - you'll soon get it off again! And welcome, Melanie

I lost 6lbs this week! First week back on track after Christmas/New Year, and pretty pleased with that Still have 5.5 pounds to go to conquer my gain, but that's OK - I can do it!

Kim, I almost always do extra easy because I find it the most liveable plan. My losses were big initially (2-4 pounds a week) but now I average about a pound a week. I suspect that I would lose more if I did red full-time, but I feel more deprived on it so I only do it every now and then. I'm trying to get rid of my epic Xmas gain at the moment, so I'm doing a bit of experimenting - this week I did a calorie counted week, next week will be red, and then the week after success express.

Awesome loss

Thanks for all your replies ladies & interesting to see what plans you all do. Even tho I said I would alternate the weeks, Im sticking to Red again, more out of curiosity to see if I lose a lot again next week. Im sure once Im back at work, I will be doing all 3 plans throughout the week, as it all does rather depend on what shift Im working, but we shall see.

Well done to all the losers this week, hello Melanie & its only a poxy 0.5 lbs Annya!

WI a day late - lost 2lbs but I'm not sure if this is a bit of dehydration....I was sick in the night, only once but I think it may have made a difference. Feeling exhausted today, not sure if I've picked up a bug but I could not sleep after properly, my back is killing too :-(

Enough about me, well done everyone on the great losses! Xxx

Hi BLB

Mmm.......sounds as if you may gave a bit of gastric flu/gastro-enteritis,food poisoning! Have you been any where dodgy lately or been with anyone thats had similar symptoms? Drink plenty of liquids & put a hot pack on your back. Hope you feel better soon x

 

[who_la_hoop]

Get well soon, B's lovely lady!

 

[B's lovely lady]

Thanks ladies, just had couple hrs sleep and feeling bit better! I've been in bed for 18 hours, really must try get up soon, maybe have a bath! Ive only been to America this week, but back and forth twice, can you get physically sick from exhaustion?? Maybe it's that x

 

[clarabella00]

well I have weighed myself, and I have lost 2lbs!

Really pleased, as I've found it hard this week; my body got too used to Chocolate crisps and wine over Christmas, methinks!!

well done to everyone else for great losses!!

Maybe you ate something that was a little bit 'off' & its turned your tummy! Im a Nurse who works silly hours with shifts so know what its like to be exhausted, so just take it easy for a bit & Im sure you will be OK. Take care x

Just think of it as practice for when the last 2 pounds are gone and you're maintaining
