Hello,
I joined slimming world five weeks ago and despite sticking to the plan and upping exercise I have only lost 5lbs!!
I’m miserable and starting to lost motivivation after my paltry 1/2lb loss tonight.
I am also getting fed up of having to spend two hours of my Wednesday in a meeting hearing about others weight loss, in the vain hope that I might get some hints and tips.
I’m loving that we are now actively eating a lot healthier but am missing nuts, avocados, cheese etc.
I’m not sure if this is my age (43 1/2) but usually after five weeks of dieting and regular exercise I have lost well over a stone.
I’m doing variations of Davina’s fit in seven (at least 35 minutes with fat burning every other day) and although clothes seem loser I was hoping for more results from slimming world.
In addition the feedback on my food charts has been questionable - worried I am not eating enough and more variation.
I eat until I am full and whilst I know variety is good at times for ease (full time working mum, husband who likes meat, limited time for menu planning etc etc) I revert to a quick salad and or steamed brocolli and carrots.
I do have an office job but walk for at least 20 ish minutes a day (with the Davina dvd every other day).
My start weight was 10st 8lbs and I am now 10st 2.5lbs.
I don’t like sweetners so if I have fancied something sweet I have not denied myself but have stayed within the 15 syns mainly - although I had my biggest weight lost in two separate weeks where I had gone over syns two days.
Basically I have upped fruit, veg, cooking from scratch (ie no ready meals, danish for breakfast, no bread, no lurpak etc etc) I have however swapped to slimline tonic for gin (syned).
I sound like a right cow and am frustrated but the leader actually looks like she could lose a few pounds and I am getting fed up taking advice from them tbh.
Any thoughts (apart from me being a bitch about the leader?)
Thanks :)
