Perhaps I am just being inpatient. But as an ex-Lighter Lifer, it is hard to adjust to the smaller losses each week.
Hi Rayven
I am doing EE, but think I might try and throw some Red days in - (back to the books).
I try and drink at least 1.5 litres of water, plus tea and 1 can of diet coke a day.
I know I will get a better loss one of these weeks, but yes, it is frustrating when on LL I was doing 3 lbs minimum per week.
But, as you did, I chose SW as it was a healthier way of losing weight, and hopefully give me tools for the future. Avoiding food issues on CD and LL isn't always the answer.
I don't think its possible that you are eating too much hun, especially if you are having about 1300 cals a day. Based on your stats you probably should be eating more, rather than less. I know from my own experience that I tend to lose more if i eat more, as long as its all free and superfree, and I keep within my syns.Is it possible I might be eating too much?!!!!
I am well under 1300 calories per day (checked a few days last week just out of interest).

I started Sw 3 weeks ago. 1st week I lost 4 lbs, then last week and this week only 1 lb per week. Which to me doesn't seem much.
My Mother thinks I should cut down my portion size on my dinner, which will make my loss better as she thinks I eat to much for dinner. ????
I make a chilli or bolognaise and make 4 meals out of it - eat one and freeze 3. So not masses amounts of meat there. But I do tend to have 3 oz (uncooked) of rice, whereas she will only have 2.
But I never sit there holding my tummy as I am too full. I am satisfied, and find that having a larger dinner stops me wanting to snack in the evenings.
