How do you long termers manage to lose big amounts when you're so far into the diet and losing a lot of weight???
Ok, so I joined 1st September and have lost on average LB1 per week despite sticking religiously to the plan! I dont drink, dont have a sweet tooth and nothing passes my lips without going onto the food diary! This week I lost absolutely nothing so where the heck am I going wrong?!?! (I was on Red but have changed to Green in the week and red at weekends now. And first week on EE I only lost LB1 !!!) :cry:
I can only suggest looking at portion control, I find that on green/extra easy I can easily over eat pasta, I know it is a free food, but at the end of the day it does still contain calories. Other people find that they have problems losing weight if they are in fact not eating enough.
Another thing to remember is that everyone loses weight in their own time, people with a lot to lose will generally lose a lot, those with not so much to lose see smaller losses. 1lb a week average is great, think about the big picture, there are 52 weeks in a year which means if you keep up the same average by this time next year you will have been at target for 10 weeks already.
