Hello,
I'm new to this forum... I started slimming world 3 weeks ago after realising I'd put on nearly 3stone gradually over 2 years. I really didn't notice it creeping on, I'm still wearing all the same clothes I was wearing when I was thinner- except for one denim skirt I managed to convince myself had shrunk in the wash.
I did slimming world once before and got on really well with it. As a vegetarian I find the green days really easy and have plenty of things to eat, unlike other diets I've tried. This time around I've been super motivated and determined... following the plan religiously and I've even started exercising (wow). The trouble is the scales just aren't reflecting my hard work.. Wk 1= -3, Wk 2= -1 and Wk 3=-0.5 (?!). My consultant said in the meeting this week you can cheat all week and end up with -0.5 if you're lucky. I haven't cheated once!! I was disappointed with my first week weigh in, I have about 5stone to lose overall and felt I should've been seeing a bigger initial loss but was told it was because I hadn't been using my syns. So the next two weeks I used my syns and my weight loss pretty much ground to a halt!
A typical days food diary (Green):
Breakfast: 2 pieces of wholemeal bread (2 HexB), 1tbsp low sugar jam (1.5syns) and a muller light.
HexA- milk in coffee throughout the day.
Snack: Apple
Lunch: Baked potato and beans, cottage cheese
Tea: Sweet potato, mushy peas and Quorn fillets OR Pasta with Quark, mushrooms, onion, leek and spinach. Muller light
Evening: Options hot chocolate (2syns), Hi-fi Bar (6 syns).
Some days I will use my second HexA for 45g of mozerella, but not always.
3-5days a week I'll do 25minutes on the Wii fit with 10-15 minutes pf that spent jogging.
I'd really appreciate some advice as to what's going wrong. As far as I'm concerned I'm not only following the plan I'm being incredibly healthy- I eat a tonne of fresh vegetables and will always snack on fruit or a fat free yoghurt.
Thanks in advance
