Hi There,

I'm new to this site and started on SW 8 weeks ago. My friend had a spare pack as her partner gave up after 2 weeks. I'm doing this from home and have lost 8lb so far

Unfortunately my weight has stayed static for the last 3 weeks and I don't know what to do to kick start it again. I do the EE plan as it fits better with my OH and the type of food we like to eat.

I have shown a typical days food intake. Can anyone advise me of anything that I may be doing wrong ??

Breakfast = 2 x weetabix with 200ml SS milk

Lunch = Pasta with 1 tin of tuna (in spring water), sweetcorn, peppers and 1tbs xtra light mayo.

Snacks = Melon & Pineapple.

Dinner = Spaghetti bolognese made with xtra lean mince, tinned toms, seasoning & sweetner. 2 tbs parmesan.

2 small glasses of wine (not every day though).

Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Where is your superfree? 1/3 of every meal MUST be superfree on EE - theres nothing in your breakfast and very little in your lunch or dinner. Sweetcorn isnt superfree so Id ditch that and replace it with baby tomatoes, more peppers or a big salad or whatever and cut the pasta/tuna part down a bit. Dinner all I can see SF wise is the tomatoes. Again you could pad this out by filling it with veg (mushrooms, onions, peppers, courgettes, whatever you fancy) and using a little less pasta/mince, or replacing the extra lean mince with Quorn mince even.

How big is your "small" glass of wine? They are ludicrously high in syns tbh, I limit it to once a week. A 175ml glass is 6 syns, a 250ml glass is 8 syns, so 2 glasses is using all your syns for the day up - although as youre not eating much else syn-wise (just the Parmesan & mayo that I can see) that doesn't necessarily have to be a problem.

Having said that you dont have that much to lose, so it maybe isnt going to shift very fast. But if you've STS for 3 weeks Id definitely try upping the superfree. (The point in 1/3 superfree btw is to reduce the amount of non-superfree food you eat thus reducing the calories you eat, as well as giving you better nutritional food - it's no an eat-as-well-as the free food you eat).

Also make sure you;re eating enough - not enough is as bad as too much, Its hard to judge without pictures how big someone's portion-size is. Good luck x
