Week 5-total loss 1/2 lb. Something needs to change!

[Chantel]

So I am on week 5 and due to get weighed tomorrow. I am in the tetrible habit of weighing myself at home and after 4 SP days and 3 extra easy, I look like ive maintained.
I am a returning member who was at target for a year, so i know what to do. Its just not working! Really need to up my game and a little support along the way may help.
Hoping a food diary will keep me focused and maybe see if there is anything I can improve.
Im determined to get a loss and on track because I cant go on like this anymore. (Feeling determined!)

That is right we do. You are doing it right but sometimes if I dont use all my syns I save them for an extra treat and use flexi syns. Best way to do it is daily but some people save syns. It works for some but not for others.
