, room for one more ? I can't believe I started this thread last year in May and here I am at the same weight again . Oh well onwards and downwards. I hope you all don't mind if I join, because I'm not doing SW, I am doing SS (vlcd), but we don't have the `going down the stones ' in our section, and I do find it motivating, since I have done SW before (and will be rejoining SW after a few months of vlcd) . I'm currently 13st 8lbs, I weigh monthly so my next weigh in will be on the 1st Feb. I hope to be at the lower end of the 13's by then.
oops, forgot to post todays result. Measly 0.5 lbs off. But going in the right direction
, your doing fab. How is your week going ?
, firstly I love your avatar pic . 1.5lb loss is a good loss, and well done for that 
. Our bodies do all sorts of weird and wonderful things in a week. Sometimes they are just playing catch up, and the hard work we do the week before shows up the following week. I know a lot of people, myself included that have said the big losses show up fortnightly. As a measure to see how well your doing, its good to look at weightloss over a period of a month, that will give you a better indication of where you're at. Week to week, the losses will fluctuate and with TOTM also. I don't mean this to be a lecture, just sharing some friendly advice . I'm sure next week you will see a smashing loss.
1-1/2 lb is a good loss and it's going in the right direction so I can't really moan 8lb in 2 weeks is really good and it's also TOTM which I never even thought would make a difference. I'm never going to moan again lol a loss is a loss xx
thanks KayWell done on your loss hun
Kay xx
. I did not have a good week. 0.5 lb on although I stuck to the plan, did a food diary and everything . Hope next week I will see a loss (any loss would be good ).
Thanks Kay, your right
thanks Kay
Congrats to everybody elses losses, and big Hello and welcome to everybody who joined this thread
, no worries, sometimes our bodies are just adjusting, I'm sure you will see a fab loss next week hun .
Maintained this week!Hey BM
Kay xx
, it's so frustrating. Even a tiny loss would have been great. Not sure if my body realises I am still following the SW eating plan?! I handed in my food diaries for the last 3 weeks today and await feedback from my consultant.
Maintained this week!
Asylum123, well done on your 1.5lbs
, I know I probably sound repetitive when I say `a maintain is much better than a gain ' but I hear you, a small loss would have been nice. I think you've done the right thing, handing in your food diary. If she's a good consultant, she will be able to spot what's wrong. I lost 5.5 stone when I did SW (I'm doing a different plan now) and I did find there were some things that they didn't stress on too much which I actually found helped with the losses, one of them being water and the second fibre (which I know SW do emphasize on). I'm sure your having speed with all your carbs, but try and drink 2 litres of water a day. It really does help with the losses. If your like me and find it hard to drink water, then add some nas squash, it will make it easy to drink. Also add a bit of body magic to your routine and get the body moving. I am no gym bunny, and am not fond of exercise to be honest, but I do go for a half hour walk every day, every little helps. Also I have heard a lot that some people on SW say they had better losses on the old Red and Green days as opposed to EE (I know everyone's different), but try switching up the plans and see if that works. When I alternated between Red and Green I had good losses on those weeks . I hope your consultant comes back with some good news. Hope you have a fab week lovely ! Chin up .
Hello hun
I hope all of the above is coming across as friendly advice and not a lecture.
Hugs Kay xx
x. I found I tend to overeat on EE? Not sure why so I only have an EE day once a week (if at all). I drink a liter of lemon water per day and lots of coffee & herbal teas in the evening. . But I do Yoga once a week and at work use the stairs instead of the list (4th floor ).
Thank you Kay, I appreciate your support
I am "old school" SW and follow red and green mostly (with as many speed foods as possible)
Must admit though I am a total couch potato
I am sure the weight will shift again but just now it seems I am stuck.
Which plan/diet are you following?
, and I hope the scales start shifting soon. I have an operation coming up in a month and so the doctor has asked me to lose some weight before the procedure. So I'm doing vlcd (very low calorie diet) because it gives quick results. I'm not one for these type of strict diets but I'm only doing it because of my op. Once I've lost a few stone I will be coming back to SW for maintenance. I lost 5.5 stone on SW before and got down to the 10's (then I went off plan for a while and put quiet a bit back on ). But I will always be a SW girl at heart .
