777 challenge

Anyone else trying out 777 challenge?

(7 days of 7xspeed, 7 glasses of water, 7.0 syns)

On day 4 and feel like it's going well, apart from all the trips to the loo. Feeling less bloated. But keep running out of syns and feeling a bit deprived in the evening when I'd usually have some choc shot and fruit or an options.

Plan to press on and see what the loss is at 7 days...

Yes hope to see a great loss next week OwlinaTree and good loss for you Aspergallus. I'm continuing with the challenge, it's making me drink loads of water and eat loads more speed food so surely it's going to work...

Day 1
8 speed / 7 water / 6.5 syns

Day 2
8 speed / 7 water / 6 syns

I'm wondering if it works by the massive amount of speed reversing the usual SW constipation!

Day 5/7

Sp -7, Syns -7, h20 -5

Aspergallus · 18/05/2017 20:58

Day 6/7

SP-8, Syns -7, H2O -5

One more day...7/7 tomorrow, then will weigh in on Sat.

How was it Aspergallus?

Day 5

Sorry, had a busy weekend!

Friday was day 7 and went OK-ish. Had to eat out and the fish and veg I ordered were swimming in oil and butter so I decided I'd had my 7 syns for the day to try to keep to plan.

3lbs down at weigh in after stagnating for a while so really pleased.

Plan to start challenge again in sat cancelled due to busy out and about weekend but going for it again tomorrow.

Well done on 3lb!

vincentaroony · 21/05/2017 19:51

I'd be well happy with 3lb! That's more than I've ever lost in 8 weeks of SW. Well done!

OwlinaTree · 23/05/2017 21:02

Lost 2.5lb this week, so maybe the 777 had a delayed effect? Tbh it wasn't worth it for me overall I don't think!

vincentaroony · 23/05/2017 22:07

I lost 4.5lbs on 777! Even in my first SW week I only lost 2.5lbs so I'm very happy. And I got my 1 stone award Smile

2.5lbs is good Owlina - you didn't do 777 again this week did you? I guess it depends what your usual losses are...mine are 0.5-1.5lbs per week normally so I'd be pleased with 2.5.

I'm staying with friends for the next 2 nights and I think each glass of wine is costing more than my daily syns allowance. I might try 1 week on / 1 week off 777.

OwlinaTree · 23/05/2017 22:20

No I didn't do it again! Just did normal extra easy. So in 2 weeks I lost 2.5lb. That's fine, on average I lose about 1lb a week, so it's slightly more over two weeks I suppose.

I did feel like I was thinking about food all the time doing 777, which is not so good for me, I need a plan where I can't get too obsessed!
