I started in January with just over 3 stone to lose, I've lost nearly 2 atm and loving it!
I remember saying the exact same thing as you when I started - I felt like I was eating LOADS. But it does work.
Main things to remember:
- Eat until you're satisfied - this may mean eating more slowly and taking more notice of what your body is telling you
- Drink plenty of water - I personally don't like water so I have NAS squash, weakly diluted
- 1/3 Superfree - If you're following the extra easy plan it's essential to have 1/3 of every meal as superfree, e.g. if you're having a fry up, make sure to have tomatoes/mushrooms as well, and try and eat the superfree first.
Other tips you might find useful:
- Green tea - I find it does help with weightloss, I have three cups a day. You can find some really nice fruity flavoured ones. (all free!)
- don't overdo the exercise straightaway, but ease yourself into it when you find you're ready. I didn't do very much at the start, but I've been doing 30 Day Shred for 22 days now and it's really boosted my fitness and inch loss.
- Don't be disheartened if you don't lose every week, and especially not if you "only" lose a pound. It's a pound in the right direction so celebrate it!
It may be worth signing up for new starters to get the books. I think they have an offer on at the minute if you join before May it's £5.00 plus the weigh in fee. So it's under £10. You could also use that week to write down all the syns you think you would need to know that aren't listed and look them up online and collate any other info from the website. For ladyP66 sorry you had a flood, that sucks. :cry: My mum had one and was still having problems months later as the house was drying out new issues would come to light ((HUGS)) to you. I could email you some info but please bear in mind it may be out of date as my info is from 2010 unfortunately. Could you join to get some new books? (see my earlier comment) Well done EllieRose! Awesome work x
