Slimming World NIGHTMARE

[Esther Fester]

In Headingley. The group is great and I am chuffed for everyone who is losing lots but its just frustrating! Could you tell me what your losses were after the first four weeks?

Yes I have been having all my syns - 50 in total last week.

Shouldn't you be having between 5 and 15 syns a day? 50 syns for the whole week doesn't seem like enough to me.

I thought that too. If I don't have at least 70 syns per week my weight loss suffers. It's a bit odd that you need to have them to lose but it does work.

I'd also suggest you need to eat more fruit and veg.

 

[Esther Fester]

Maybe you are right about the syns. But trust me, I eat masses of fruit and veg. Absolutely tonnes, at least seven portions every day. So I'm pretty sure that is not the problem.

Weeks 1-4: 4.5lbs
Weeks 5-8: 2.5lbs
Weeks 9-12: 3.5lbs
Weeks 13-16: 1.5lbs
Weeks 17-20: 1.5lbs
Weeks 21-24: 3lbs

So definitely not quick losses!

Definately boost your syns a little bit then, after all that exercise your body must be going into starvation mode. Give it a go, it might just surprise you and you'll love this plan all the more when you can have treats!

Hi hun - for my 2 pence worth.... I blame the exercise. I know it's mad to say that, however, in May I cycled 70 plus miles in about 3 weeks, yet lost tiny amounts, even though I was sticking to plan.

As soon as I stopped exercising so much (becuase of surgery) I had massive losses.

I'm not saying to give up exercise though as it's a great mood booster etc and makes us super healthy, but give it a few more weeks and your body will give you the results you deserve! x

Thats strange.. because last week I only did three hours of exercise and lost 3.5lbs... Interesting!
