new info added Congrats on the loss queenie!!! I could only dream of 3lbs off over new year...trying to reign it back in tomorro

@smiling suzy - I'm not following the new plan (yet) as I'm vegan and followed green days which have now been abolished. I'm not ready for a change, and don't feel I need one quite yet as green days work well for me. Have you changed over to the new plan? I'm curious to see what difference everyone sees on the scale. A lot of people in my group were going to try the EE SP plan this week, so I think there will be some BIG losses!

Hi I changed over on Wednesday (not my normal wi day) and have found it tough doing SP but I think I needed a re-boot. The scales are moving though which is great and WI is tomorrow night. I am a bit bored of Omelette for breakfast though, and I didn't appreciate how much I used yogurts in cooking and for snacking (and crabsticks). I quite fancy doing SP tuesdays and thursdays and EE the rest of the week.

 

[Smilingsuzy]

Yeah it doesn't strike me as the sort of plan you can do on a whim. I might try and do a day of it but I think I'll eat my furniture, plus it's not affordable at all to me in the current climate.

I can't even get my head around the new EE plan, but then again I've never followed EE so it's bound to confuse me.

EE messed with my head having previously been a red and green girl but I did find it better for me in the long run.

Thanks Mandlegrot; I usually lose about a lb a week and did two days of EESP and lost an extra 1/2 a lb but I am not sure I could do a whole week of EESP (though maybe continuing to experimenting I might feel braver). Though I think while you are losing well, as has been said if it ain't broke!

Good luck everyone with their WI

[Mandlegrot]

Added you to the list, Aimz. Good luck for Wednesday!

@Queenie - good to hear it's possible to transition over. I might try doing a few EE days next week, then the week after maybe look into how possible it would be to do EE SP - however I don't know if a lot of the 'meat replacement' foods are P or S (don't eat quorn!) so can't really do it until then as I think my main dinners will be based around linda macartney sausages haha. I think it would be good to shake my diet up a bit though...it's just a matter of how able I am to do it, considering I really have no money to invest into other foods and my cupboards are full of cheap carbs at the min. Hopefully a job offer comes through soon...

@Simlingsuzy - Ooooh good to hear the scales are budging! I'm excited to see everyone's results now ) I think I'm set for a gain, I only got back on plan today, and its star week :/ but, this means a BIG loss next week hopefully. i weigh Tuesday evenings so its too late to fully pull it back, however 3 days on plan will minimize the gain!

 

[Mandlegrot]

Oh and congrats to Honey39 for a fab 2.8lb loss!! Well on your way to meeting target

 

[charlotteann]

Hopefully it's not too late to join in? Rejoined a class on Saturday. Hoping for 6lb loss in January

 

[ChristieH1409]

Never too late charlotte! Good luck x

I have been looking at the s and p foods and I think I wouldnt be able to do a full week I may just do a couple of dayd a week also and maybe have some sp meals instead of days so its a bit easier!

 

[Shygirl84]

Hi, can I join please? I'd like to lose 8lbs by the end of January

 

[angelicbex]

Can I join too please? I weigh on a Wednesday so 1st weigh in of the year this week. Put on 3.5lbs over xmas but was a 10 day weigh and I enjoyed myself lol. This week is a 4 day weigh so trying SP to see what we can do but my body takes about 2 weeks to catch up!!!
Id like 10lb off in Jan to get me bk to my 2.5 stone award and working towards my 3!! xx
