Hovering :(

[lizs84]

I have been hovering around the 15 stone mark for months. I managed to lose 4 1/2 stone in about 9 months and since then I just can't seem to shift any more. Every time I get to 15 stone I get a few pounds below and then i'll shoot up suddenly. I tend to have around 5-8 syns a day and gain horribly if I go near 15 syns or have stupid portions but i stay completely on plan with exercise. I really don't understand why this is happening. Again. I'm considering doing something like slim fast to try and kick start things. I tried having some fast days which did knock off some lb but they go straight back on when I eat again. Does anyone else struggle with this?? Feeling completely demotivated and ready to give up this morning

Hi Liz,
Well done for losing 4 1/2 stone. You must have worked hard to lose that. Try and think back to what you did at the beginning. Forget about the 15 stone mark - it could be your minds own barrier stopping you. Making you think that you can't do it.
Yes you can!
With a little bit of planning, getting all your old magazines and cook books out, and rereading your food optimising book.
If you go to group, then talk to your C. She might be able to help. xx

hiya lizs =] grats on your loss so far! fantastic work!!!

like you, i was stuck between 14.1-14.9 for months, ive kicked myself up the butt this week, changing my hexs, trying different recipes and sticking to 10-15syns. i did have a sneak peak at the scales this morning, and it appears to be working finally (wi is thurs). so def read your books, buy a sw mag they really do help and plan a weekly menu(it really does help you stick). *big hug* dont feel alone or too frustrated, weve all been stuck at one point or another =]

Thank you, I am feeling much better and decided to have a go at mixing slimming world and slim fast for a week to boost my loss. Lost 3lb yesterday so I'm feeling optimistic I love this site so much - you guys never fail to inspire me!!!

Aw yes, please think positive. I was stuck too for a while but it eventually started to shift again and I got to target, which is where you will be soon! All I would say is that personally, and it is just a personal thing, I wouldnt mix the slim fast and S W . The plan is there and it does work, whereas mixing it with slim fast will unbalance it if you know what I mean.Again, that may just be my personal opinion. Hope you feel a little better soon
