Only lost 2Ib's???
Thats' a brilliant weight loss!
You weigh out 2Ib's of potatoes and carry them around all day and then tell me its ONLY 2Ib's!!
Honey not everyone loses huge amounts in their first week and most of what they do lose tends to be water. I have lost on average 2 Ib's a week over my journey and I am really really happy with that, as its so much better to lose between 1-2Ib's a week, as I know I will have more chance of keeping it off.
watch your carb portions, some of the girls, including me, find it really hard to lose on green days. I only have 75g-100g Pasta and 50-75g rice. I only eat wholemeal of rice of pasta, as it helps you stay fuller for longer, its a resistant starch so helps you break down fat better and I have sweet potatoes not white potatoes and I do much better with my weight loss.
Also I hate to say it but exercise is the key! I am disabled and so is my partner but we walk nearly everyday! If we don't walk, we notice it in our weight losses, and our joints, and as a hypothyroidism girl I know that I must exercise to help boost my metabolism, and exercise is proven to make your metabolism work better. Just 20 mins 3-4 times a week will make a difference.
Make sure your snacking on superfree veg and fruit before you tuck into your syns.
Some girls swear by drinking their water daily as well.
Dont feel disheartened by your great loss hun, your going down...not up!! WELL DONE!!
