Not happy at all :(

[Yasmine]

I have been doing slimming world for about 5 weeks or so, and have only lost 3.5lbs out of the entire time. But I am much heavier than I started :cry:.

I don't know what to do? I am following the plan 100%, I tried extra easy and it's doing **** all for me. I don't have any choice but to do red days only, but I find them so boring and I find that I end not eating at all.

Why isn't it working?

No wonder you are disappointed - I wonder what happened at WI 3,4 and 5?

I take it from your post count that you have followed a different diet before SW, what did you do if you don't mind me asking?

Other questions -
do you go to class or doing it yourself at home? If at class, what did your consultant say about week 1 WI?
why do you say ''I don't have any choice but to do red days only'' when there is also a green plan, mix to max and success express available?

One (very) last thing ''I find that I end not eating at all.'' could be your problem - if you have come from a VLCD, you might not be eating ENOUGH for SW to be having an effect ...

sorry to not be more immediate help

No no, thank you for commenting and asking questions, that helps a lot.

I have done a VLCD and my consultant told me it could take me about 1 month to adjust, it's been 2 months since I stopped, I'm still gaining weight.

I go to class, but feel like a total loser when I go, because everyone is doing a fab job and I'm just sitting there pathetically with no loss at all.

I find that I gain weight whenever I eat carbs, that's why I may just have to do red days only.

As for not eating, I just don't like it really. I hate food, it makes me feel bad, regardless if it's even a piece of fruit. I hate it.

Could you post us a days diary so we can see what you're eating? My guess is that you are not eating enough. Have you discussed your eating with your gp?
