Frustrated Slimming World newbie!

I’d say alway use your 15 Syns a day only time I didn’t was when I knew I had an event (boozy night out) then I’d flexi them or make sure I only had the amount for the week.
This early on you may find it’s wAter retention. Perseverance is key and good optimise as much as you can.
I lost 3 .5stone and have stayed at target for 2 years now. It becomes a way of life aster a while.
Good luck.

Try not to be too discouraged, although I know it's easier said than done. I lost 5.5in my first week and then maintained for the next 2 weeks. I've had a few maintain weeks along the way since starting in Feb this year but I've lost 1.5 stones. Not a dramatic weight loss, but it's been steady and I feel and look so much better. Still got at least 2 stones to go but I'm not giving myself a deadline.

You've probably not done anything drastically wrong and hopefully you'll see a loss next week.

I aim for 5 syns Daily even if I don’t want them, I have been incorporating into my cooking instead.

I don’t save mine as I don’t drink so no need to save up really. If I have a wedding or a meal off plan, I eat flexibly and stay on plan the rest of the week.

I maintain or have a small gain when I'm ovulating. It all evens out over the month so I try not to get annoyed about it.

As mentioned above though, do use your syns. Between 5-15 each day. If you save up your syns for a weekly blow out then you'll likely feel deprived during the week as you go on. And I find, certainly for me, that feeling deprived leads to 'oh fuck it' moments. I can consume a whole tub of Ben and Jerry's and a 12inch takeaway pizza in those moments!

Not currently doing slimming world but did it for a couple of years before having kids. I was told not to ‘save syns’ as such, but to enjoy them if I wanted to use them, and if there was a meal or event coming up then to be ‘flexible’ with that days syns if needed? Also found my weigh ins were affected by good old Aunt Flo! Other more active members would often say that doing more exercise seemed to lead to poorer losses- whether that’s a building up of muscle or a conspiracy I have no idea. I would say stick it out with food diaries 4-6weeks and talk to consultant for advice if nothing seems to be working. Good luck for next weigh in!
