I think you need to try upping your syns!

 

[tracejovi]

Are you on Extra Easy? You don't appear to be having one third superfree with your meals, in fact there's not much superfree in there at all. You should have at least 5 syns a day. If you don't eat decent sized meals plus your syns, your body goes into starvation mode and hangs onto any food it gets. Try having a look at the suggested meal plans on the SW site for some inspiration.

 

[janemasters]

yes im on extra easy. I thought the veg im having with my dinners is superfree and the fruit i eat?
still no weight loss

 

[HeatherJay]

maybe a bit more variety too, rather than ham sandwich every lunchtime etc. i find variety helps weight loss

 

[Sharlet]

Try using your syns. Ive lost more weight in the weeks I've used my syns. Sounds wrong but seems to work x

 

[Gem_bear]

I agree, a bit of variety and upping your syns. I am no expert and my WL comes off slow but i drink about 1500ml of water a day. I also exercise, i know u dont have to on SW but i really dont know if i would lose with out it. I do green but try and throw in a couple of red and EE days a week to shake things up a bit. Also, i dont know if i really believe this is true but i heard bananas can slow things down so i cut back on them a bit and i have noticed a difference but it may not be down to that. Oh and try the super speed soup from the recipe threads, its yummy. Hope some of that is of some help. Good luck xxx

Don't give up!
