Week 2 - weight gain!

[Bighouseinthesticks]

I'm on week 2 of slimming world, not going to classes doing it at home (there's no classes near me). I need to lose about 2/2.5 stone I put on in pregnancy. Week 1, I lost 6 pounds and was delighted but week 2, I lost nothing! I'm eating lots of superfood and getting my portions back under control. I'm using about 13 syns a day for gravy and crisps. I have started drinking coke zero, could it be that?

Sorry, I meant to say I've actually put on half a pound

I would try cutting back (or mixing up what you have) on your syns, my best losses are when I keep under 13 syns. Maybe try upping your speed food and water in take too.

I'd up my speed foods and protein and lower my syns to 10.

I'd also try and drink more water.

You aren't due your period are you? I notice that when it would have been my TOTM I gain between half a pound and 1.5lbs. Then have a big loss the next week.

Thanks for the help. Yeah I've been pretty terrible about drinking water, I start drinking more and cutting down on the syns, I suppose it's an allowance, not a target Hopefully next week I'll lose a little bit. Thanks again

By doing it at home, do you mean you're doing it without access to the slimming world app? If yes, then maybe you are going over your syns without realising? Syns change quite regularly, that's why we have to keep looking to make sure there has or hasn't been any changes. It wouldn't be the Coke Zero as that's syn free and has no added sugar to it. I would try finding out the exact syns of the foods you are consuming and go from there! It's so easily done! All the best. X

Are you making every plate 1/3 speed? Not including veg in a curry or SPaG Bol for example but a proper portion on your plate of speed eg serving of salad or veg.
