Hi
Just a mini rant if I can ... I started SW 4 weeks ago. The "newbie" talk from the Consultant was pretty bad because she had her two kids with her (one a screaming baby) and it came across as much more "Eat whatever you like" and not so much "But remember you are meant to eat less bad stuff..". Anyway, the first week I did EE and put on 0.5lb - we weren't told about the 1/3rd superfree etc. The second week I did pretty much EE but counted calories too and lost 2lbs (1.5lbs really since I had a gain the first week). I switched to Red/Green and felt I was doing really well, but then had 4 days in Barcelona on business where there just wasn't much available to eat (I don't like fish and there was lots of it), and I ended up STS. Think I hadn't eaten enough.
I'm back on track now, doing my Red/Green days, but I see you guys with your 2/3/4lb losses every week and I think I've just lost 1.5lb in 3 weeks which seems rubbish.
I'm going to start a food diary on here for hints and tips on what I'm eating but had to just get my "IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME" whinge out!!
Anyone else experienced really slow initial losses? I'm motivated and have been visualising SOTW/SOTM/SOTY but its clearly not happening for me right now :-(
