Hi I need help !
I have been doing slimming world now for 3 weeks, first week i lost 4 pound which obviously I'm over the moon with but for the last 2 weeks I've stayed the same and I don't know why.
I have been so good chopping and changing my days eating loads of free food etc but no weight loss starting to get a bit disheartened !
Can any one help me with some suggestions or has this happened to any one else .

Have you been writing everything down and within syns every day/checking syns on everything? Sorry to ask such silly questions but easy mistakes can have a big difference. For example once I thought a packet of crisps was 4 syns but it was 9 syns as I was looking at the wrong amount of grams on a packet and eating them about 3 times a week!! Things like that make a really big difference. Sometimes people do maintain occasionally, but I think it's rare to maintain two weeks in a row (although it can happen). Maybe if you post a couple of examples of your food diary it might help to identify where you're going wrong.

Yeah I have been writing every thing down religiously and checking the syns on every thing I eat .
I weighed myself today and stayed the same again but I'm wondering if I've lost inches instead as I look slimmer but weigh the same lol I think I'll just carry on for another week and see what happenes.
I may have to start exercising to loose it just hard as my son is 2 and a half and my daughter is 4 months , my friend goes to slimming world class and she has looked over what I have been eating and she said what I'm doing is right so how am I not loosing the weight .

Well it has only been 2 weeks of maintaining so maybe because you had a big loss the first week your body is just adjusting. SW is more of a slower diet and if you're doing everything right the weight will drop off, you just need to keep at it

Try eating more speed/free food, drink loads of water (at least 2 litres a day) and use less syns if you aren't already. I always try and eat loads of speed food Mon-Fri and low syn throughout the week, then have higher syn days at the weekend. That usually works for me but you'll find what works for you, good luck with your weigh in this week!

Thats a good idea I'll try it thankyou for your advice
