Hello,
I don't seem to be getting anywhere with SW. I have now had 4 weigh ins and it's not going well at all! I don't understand it. I write down everything i eat and i can't see a problem with what i eat! I'm not someone who accidentally cheats because i did WW and lost consistently every week and lost 3 and half stone. I'm wondering if SW is for me :-( But i prefer it to WW so i want it to be!
Day 1 i weighed 11stone 2 and a quarter.
First weekly weigh in: 11 stone 2 and a quarter (fair enough i thought as i could have still be smoothing out from the weeks consumptions of pizza before the diet).
2nd weigh in: 11 stone 3 and a quarter (was depressed about this but carried on anyway)
3rd weigh in : 11 stone 2 and a quarter (great decided i was now on the road to a pound off a week)
Todays weigh in: 11 stone 2 and 3 quarters! :cry:
Aghhhh half a pound on. I could handle that if the other few weeks hadnt been so rubbish. also i'm not the sort of person that gains normally. not even hormonally. on WW i either STS or lost every week.
I'm very confused and sad about it. :sigh:
The only thing that's cheered me up today is that my scales tell you your fat, muscle and water levels and even though i weigh more than the day i started on SW my fat has gone from high to medium. I dont understand this either. Have i gained muscle but lost fat? I'd be surprised because i havn't increased exercise whatsoever.
anyway midweek Mon-Fri here's my exact food diary (always green days as i'm veggie so its best)
Breakfast - Weetabix with milk (HEX A and HEX B)
snack - 1 alpen light bar (B) and a tangerine
Lunch - either new potatoes boiled egg and salad or a tuppaware of last nights tea such as quorn chilli and rice, or pasta in tomato sauce (free). always a smallish tuppaware tub too.
Snacks - 1 kitkat (5.5 syns), my other alpen light bar (B) and either a banana or a few grapes or another tangerine. (dont like any other fruit!)
Dinner - usually its rice or SW chips with chickpea dahl, quorn curry, quorn chilli, quorn quorn quorn. And dinner is always free!
The above is always the same but some times about 3-4 days a week i have my other HEX A in the form of light babybels.
I don't have any more syns than 5.5 midweek because on a weekend i eat mostly the same sort of stuff but i have a bottle of wine and a meal with about 25 syns in. therefore 50- 60 syns at the weekend and 25 for all mid week.
Can anyone see what the problem is?
I know i should incease exercise but i work 75 hours a week (sat down unfortunately) and i also care for my disabled brother and have an illness so finding the time or energy to exercise is genuinley ruddy hard. I do walk 20mins to the train station every morning at least!
Other than exercise to boost weight loss can anyone see whats going wrong? Or do you think it might still work for me eventually. I dont actually think im eating many more cals than WW so why im not losing 1 pound a week at least is beyond me.
Many Thanks
