Please help, this is my 4th week doing SW from home as I cannot afford to go to meetings I have books given to me by friends and family. My first week I lost 3lbs, second week I STS and last week I lost 7lbs I was amazed and so proud of my self..then this weekend its all gone wrong.. We went out saturday to a chinses restuarnt and drinking, sunday was another really bad binge day and then monday was jus as bad and I jus couldn't waiit so I stood on them scales this morning and by the looks of it that 7lbs gone back on I'm so upset!! This is no one elses fault other than my own but I am now finding it hard to get my head back into it when I really really want n need to lose this weight..

I no this thread is prob in the wrong place but I jus need a rant and when there's no one to do it to apart from u guys on here I jus had to write this!!

I go on holiday nine weeks thursday with my partner our son and some friends and I was really hopin this week I wud lose my first sstone and that's defo not going to happen (again my fault)I have a fear that I'm that fat my seat belt won't do up on plane and this makes me wanna lose weight even more but after this shameful weekend I'm disgusted and so upset in my self.. I no I just need to give my head a wobble and get back on my diet NOW.. I no friday when I weigh myself again it ant guna be pretty but I have to see how much I have put on and I suppose go from there! This puts my holiday clothes shoppin back another week


Sorry for this long rant I jus need well an eye i suppose to off load on!! Sorry for boring u all and I'm sure ill get back on it no problem xx

remember to use your syns wisely, it should stop you from bingeing and going off track you've had some good loses so you know you can do it you just need to stick with it and get back on track every one nearly falls off the wagon at some point but we all jump back on and get to our goals, we are all here to help you so keep posting when you feel like a binge and you need distracting

I have three stone to lose and couldn't do it with out the help on here as this place motivates me x

Stop worrying. I'm sure you have not put on 7lbs. As you say this is not your official weigh in day so the reading is not accurate anyway but a large percentage will just be fluid retention. You literally cannot put on 7lbs of fat in two days - that would be 24,500 excess calories!

One of the most important things about being successful at slimming is being able to pick yourself up after a bad day and just getting right back on plan. So draw a line and carry on business as normal having your full syn allowance. You may not lose this week but I'm willing to bet you won't put on 7lbs!

And for the future, there are lots of things you can have at the chinese while staying on plan. Perhaps do some research in the Eating Out section so you know what the good choices are

Calm down hun! it's true you cannot put on 7lb of fat in two days, in fact it takes 10 days for excess cals to make fat according to a nutritionist I heard on the radio. As PP says it would mean thousands of EXCESS calories to put on that much!
Chinese food is seriously high in salt (all that soy sauce), and salt causes water retention. Try drinking some fennel tea to help release some of that fluid. Alcohol does funny things to the bowel too, has it affected you?
Alcohol causes disruptions to REM sleep which you also need to lose weight!
Have a couple of mainly superfree days (veggie soup, casserole/curry/chilli with perhaps BNS or cauliflower rice instead of pots or rice.
Don't starve yourself you'll make it worse. But as the northerners say 'don't throw out the baby with the bathwater' even of you gain, it's not the end of the world (seriously it isn't!).

7lb doesn't sound right to me. Might want to try your scales on another part of the floor. Don't laugh...if i put mine in one place I gain 4lb's put it in another lose 2lb's. You'd have to have done NOTHING but eat junk to gain that much in 2 days, and my nothing else i mean, every second cram another item of food in your mouth. Even in bad WEEKS i've only known people to put on a max of maybe 3lb's

You have to find the plan that works best for YOU!

Use your holiday as the motivation, knowing how chuffed you'll be when you're away, knowing you've given 100% every week.

Saying no to treats, when they're right under your nose, is hard but you'll ALWAYS feel better afterwards. SW isn't about missin gout on things - there's plenty of low syn treats you can enjoy, chocolate et all
