Are you supposed to be full all the time on SW?

[springlenner]

I've been on SW for 2 weeks.WI number 2 tonight. The first week I ate well, in the proportions recommended by the plan but felt uncomfortably full, bloated and colicky quite a bit. BUT I lost 4.5lbs!!!
I dialled back on the plan this week as I hate feeling bloated - but still stuck to the plan almost 100% ( slight confusion about Healthy Extras so had 2 HexBs most days by mistake) anyway, I have felt great, much more comfortable but a little hungry ( not badly) at least 50% veg, lean meats, fish but less carbs as pasta etc bloats me. Was well within my syns for the week - less than 5 syns per day 4/7 days.... And I "only" lost 1/2 pound!!!

I'm not complaining, I like this way of eating and happy once weight is going down. But I'm wondering if I am doing this wrong and need to eat more?? 1/2 lb a week will do my head in tbh!!!

Just so my post is clear, the girl who didn't have th HEB lost the 6lbs. I agree totally with you Crystal. If the whole point of Slimming World is to have a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix diet then you have to make it work for you. If you don't want HEB's and are still losing weight, I don't see a problem!

Im really considering joing SW online, is anyone doing it this way?

I lost 22lb on my own last year but have steadily put ten back on.

I can't get to groups that are local so online would be the only way.

Ideal weight is 10st 7lb, currently 13 so exactly 2 and a half stone to lose

Imscarlet - just had to re read last few I wasn't meaning to have a go or be defensive I'm just in moody mode currently so sorry if it came across that way. Would love to lose 6lb on week - but as you say it's a lifestyle change so I still like my little bits of choclate or glass of wine here and there so it's coming off slowly but atleast I know I'll be able to keep it up .

Idratherbetheboss - I personally couldn't do it online as I have no will power and need the weigh in and the whole group knowing if I've put on to stay on track but by the sounds of it you did really well before so It maybe achievable for you. There is tons of meals ideas etc online although I don't know if it's worth getting a free membership voucher out if a magazine and trying to make a group just for the first week to receive the books and have it explained. As from previous conversations I don't think the books are automatic with online membership you have to buy them. - although I'm sure someone who does it online could confirm this for you.
