I'm really pleased with my losses so far on Slimming World. I've slipped a couple of times but I've never put weight on or stayed the same. The least I've lost in a week has been 1lb. When I have slipped, I've always managed to pull it back by doing a couple of Success Express days or adding lots of speed foods for a few days.
I've lost 3 stone 2lbs since around September when I started. So I guess I've now got (about) a stone to go. I don't really know how to work out my target, my consultant says it's entirely up to me as long as I'm in a healthy BMI, which I think I'm about 1lb off!
But I'm going to try for one more stone. And everyone I ever speak to about loosing weight says 'it's get so difficult in the last stone'. The target members in my group are always saying 'oh the first few stone are quite easy - but you've got to be really strict at the end to get the last stone off otherwise you just don't loose weight!'.
Even my consultant pulled me to one side this week and said 'this can't go on forever and when you do stay the same or put on a pound or two, don't be disheartened. Stick with it'. Which kinda sounded like a bad omen!
I'm not noticing it getting much harder, my losses have slowed down for sure, none of that 5lb in a week business any more, but I'm still averaging about 1.5-2lb per week.
So: target members or those close - what can I do? Should I think about adding something or doing something different to shift the last stone easier? What did you do?
