So I'm considering quitting slimming world after only 3 weeks (online). My first week I lost 5lb. Second 4lb. Third, nothing.
I AM sticking to plan - 1/3 speed at least with every meal plus often more fruit as a snack. I weigh my healthy extras and syns vigilantly.
There are a few things that bother me about this plan and I can't shake the feeling it's not going to work. For example, how is OK to eat a mugshot as a snack? They're around 230 calories...so if I ate two, why can't I just have a chocolate bar instead, for the same cals? Slimming world does say it all comes down to cals in versus cals out.
Also, if your clever with your syns you can have a chocolate bar every day. So yesterday for example I had a bad day and didn't eat as healthy as I'd like but I DID stay on plan.....I had a choc bar for 12.5 syns. And a mug shot. That's over 500 cals in snacks.
I know I shouldn't be calorie counting but it's a hard habit to break, and when I stepped on the scales and saw no loss my faith is seriously fading.
I'm wondering if I should just count cals instead. I lost 4 stone pre pregnant that way but I thought that seeing as I now have 9 month old twins to care for, subscribing to a plan would be easier. It takes time counting and logging and planning every bite!!
I don't know. I'm in two minds. What do people advise I do??
I have 3-4 stone to lose.
