Hi there,
I have done Weight Watchers on and off for the past 15 years, got to my ideal weight 3 times in this period and other than when I was pregnant with my 2 children have never in that time gone more than 3lb above the weight I first weighed in it in 1999.....anyway, I always found that if I stuck to the WW plan, it always worked - the difficulty I had was sticking to it, which after losing my baby weight (mainly by just breastfeeding) and then treading water on WW for the last 5 months, I decided it was time to try something different, which brings me to slimming world.
So week 1 went well, stuck to plan 100%, wrote everything down, averaged about 5 syns a day, apart from the Saturday when we had a street party so I had a cheeseburger and loads of wine and pimms, totalling 67 syns. Result = 3lb lost so was over the moon.
Week 2, repeat of last week but no street party, so averaged 10 syns a day, with 30 syns on Friday night and 30 syns on Saturday. Result = 1lb lost, so still happy.
Last week and this week, went superfree mad, upped the exercise regime - 1 run and 2 walks last week and 2 runs and 1 walk this week, still stuck 100% to plan, wrote everything down, just drank 3 glasses of wine on each Saturday night, making my syns total 30 for each Saturday. Result = 0.5lb gain last week and weigh in is tonight but my own scales are saying that I've stayed the same.
I just don't understand, but I am driving myself mad thinking have I eaten too big portions, is it the mugshots, have I had too many or too few syns, can I not have more than 15 syns on any day? I've even had scan bran on nearly every day, as I thought I wasn't getting enough fibre.
I'm so upset, as I really have found the eating plan very easy to stick to, which is why I can say with all honesty that I haven't strayed from the plan. I'm just frightened that this isn't going to work for me, as I have done diets in the past, such as the Atkins, where the amount of food isn't limited and although I've found them easy to stick to, my weight hasn't altered at all. I really don't want to have to go back to Weight Watchers, I really want to be a slimming world convert!! Any advice would be really appreciated, particularly from people who have had this happen for a couple of weeks and then weight loss has resumed. Thanks in advance
