I have been doing SW since September 2011 and have lost just 25.5lbs. (I have about 8 stone to lose.) At the same time I also joined the gym as I firmly believe in diet and exercise going hand in hand. Some weeks I have exercised, others I have not. The past 8 weeks I have exercised 3-4 times a week for 1 hour at a time and stuck to the SW EE plan, filling in a food diary which have been examined by my leader and are fine. I know how the plan works and have stuck to it since joining in September.
However, I cannot lose weight. I lose one week, gain the next. Weigh in today, I have lost a measly 1/2lb after again following the plan 100% and exercising. I have cried today, I am so fed up. Again, my leader has gone through my food diary and can find no reason with the food I eat why I shouldn't be losing weight. I have been to the doctors and am currenty awaiting the results of a blood test.
My leader always maintains that she did the whole gym thing and gave it up in favour of just following SW as she wasn't losing weight, so maybe I should too.
The inch loss isn't showing either yet but I love the exercise and feel great for it.
I cannot keep doing both and need to ditch one in favor of the other.
I want to know what your thoughts are on this and if you have given up exercise in favour of SW. Maybe I need to lose some more weight and then maybe exercise again?? Oh I don't know, sorry for the ramble
I just welcome any comments - Please
Hello Rachel, why don't you try the original plan I can't do any exercise so my weight lose is slow so for a change I changed plans and it worked for me. Worth a try, good luck.
