Slimming World to Harcombe?

I've been doing SW since 29/8. Initially on EE and now mainly on red days.

However although I've lost 1lb short of 2
stone I haven't lost any weight this week and I've stuck to the plan with the exception of maybe not enough syns / HEB.

Have seen the Harcombe diet and this seems to be more like what I'm doing at the moment although I'll have to swap coffee and skimmed milk for herbal tea and stop my 10 a day satsuma habit ;)

Just wondered what people's losses had been in phase 1 switching from SW? My BMI is still in the low 30s so I've got plenty to lose!

Well I've had a few bad days, now need to get back on track. Dh has managed to lose another 3.5 lbs, so for his sake I have to continue, he needs to lose a lot more. So this weekend I'm going to be really good. I might have a few nuts if I need a snack, but no sugar!

omelette for breakfast, will probably have bacon and eggs for lunch and we're having belly pork for dinner.

Hi kazza.

Had a dinner party last night:

Pea and mint soup with Parmesan crackers
Lamb cutlets with cabbage parcels (with pancetta, parsnips, carrots in), on shallot purée with a red wine jus
Lime and ginger cheesecake
Cheese

I didn't have the cheesecake, but I did have a few kettle chips before, some crackers with my cheese, and a chocolate! And of course an ocean of booze.

So back on the straight and narrow today.

Have had bacon eggs and mushrooms for brunch, and am glugging water.

Doshusallie · 18/05/2014 20:04

Since brunch have had:

Tin of mackerel
Pork scratchings
Quite a bit of cheese with celery and cucumber
Left over cabbage parcel from last night

Too hot to eat anything sensible, only had tuna for lunch, which I didn't fancy, so have eaten crap all day Sad

Omelette for breakfast, one sausage (D&A 97% pork) with leeks for dinner.
