Hi ,Ive been doing sw extra easy for a week now ,had my weigh in and have lost 2 lbs .
Most other people in the group have lost 4 or 5 lbs so am i doing it wrong? i have not used hardly any syns and been swimming twice and gym twice.

Well done angels !! I totally agree with the scales been off as i exercise loads and should be loosing weight at a quicker rate i'm loosing plenty of inches and have made 2 new holes in my belt so i don't get it.
I'm wondering if we should go by clothes size as i don't really look fat but am heavy so i can stand next to someone else of the same weight/ height etc who doesn't exercise and look a lot smaller as i have a lot of muscle ??
When i joined the leader said a lb of muscle is the same as a lb of fat so i should still loose weight .

It's the bmi that started me off as i looked at a poster at the gym and realised mine was higher than it should be (bloody thing).

a lb of anything weighs the same -even feathers lol- just be a hell of lot of feathers

my jeans seem baggier so i must be toning but scales are not really being nice to me :( but i shall take the over all monthly amount, as think sometimes get too fixed on sts gaining a lb losing a lb - where over the month may be say a loss of 4 lbs iyswim

i did measure, so will again in 1.5 weeks when done sw for a month

What i don't get is how do you loose the inches without the weight ? like carer says she too is loosing inches but not weighing less that's what i don't understand.

I'm feelin very disheartened tday friend from work has lost 4lb every week for last 6 weeks, granted she's bigger than me- but she eats way way more than me - just a bit fed up x

Don't feel bad angels you have lost half a stone , that's brilliant !!
If she has a lot to loose she will loose lots at first then it will slow down, my sister has 5 stone to loose and lost 2 stone in 8 weeks but now she has 3 left and is loosing 2 to 3 lbs a week .
You don't have much to loose so it will come off slower but i bet you can tell a big difference after just 7 lbs , i know i could.
Please remind me of this fact when i'm crying tomorrow as i've been so bad this week .Lol

Thanks jeans - I no! Just having a wobble! Il keep my fingers crossed for ya hun

Well i wasnt gonna go in tonight but now im damn glad i did. 3 pounds off. Finally it seems the scales are catching up.

yah to 3lbs off - well done :)

and yes must be hard someone losing 24 lbs in 6 weeks but she obv has a lot to lose

slow but steady

Well done carer! My prayers were answered this week as ive stuffed my face and stayed the same yay!
I will now try for a good loss next week.

Well done Carer
Thanks blondes I know jut have to keep repeating all loss is a good loss hehe
Yey jeans haha now has all the chocolate gone??? Hehe x

yeah all the chocolates gone now thank god!!

Haha well my 3 dds have just got more from our elderly neighbour!!! Ahhhhhh lol. Time to dig out the 'willpower'

I honestly don't care what the scales say, it's how I look and feel in my clothes that matters. I weigh at home and at class but I'm officially going by the class scales. I weigh 3lb heavier on them, but I weigh naked at home and in the morning, and um, definitely clothed at class in the evening.

Saying '1lb' is a pathetic amount to lose isn't exactly helpful either. It's a healthy, maintainable amount. I'd be thrilled to lose 1lb every week - it's 3.5lb stone in a year and that time is going to pass by no matter what, so I may as well stay on the SW wagon and see how far it gets me.

guess i feel cheated that i only lose a lb as apart from eating one choc easter egg, i followed sw to the letter so 2lbs would be nicer

lost lb yesterday, so 4lbs in 3weeks- will measure next week when been 4 weeks but sure i must have lost cms as waist is def looser on jeans

Well done blondes
I don't think anyone has said 1lb is pathetic - it all adds up BUT it can be disheartening at times when u have felt like u should have lost more! As long as I'm losing I'm happy

i said it was pathetic -coz i was pissed off- i expected to lose 2/3/4/5 lbs as been very good and just started sw

Aw blondes that was outta frustration I know u didn't mean 1lb loss is pathetic! We just need to keep lookin at the positives

Yep, thinking that you should have done better is ok, but beating yourself over a 'small' loss - that way, madness lies. A loss is a loss! It all adds up eventually. Chin up lovely, you'll get there.

I admit, I'd love to be able to lose 5 pounds or more a week, like some at my class are able to - but the ones who do are all bigger than me and I fully expect them to get to my point of having around 3 stone to lose and for the losses to slow down. Comparing yourself to others just gets you nowhere and makes you feel bad for no reason.

Totally agree bobble- so feel free to give me a shake when I have a whinge! make sure u keep us updated on how ya gettin on

I will make everyone shake their bums, good body magic, innit.

I weigh in tomorrow evening and I weigh 3lb heavier on class scales, but my home ones showed a loss this morning, so I'm happy, woohoo!

its just as im at the start of sw so my body should think wow and lose a few lbs each week - but hey ho will get there slowly - i hope .................

off on hols in 2 weeks and knowing e i will end up putting on what ive lost so be really pissed off

Aye, but just think, if you don't out the effort in now before your holiday, you'll gain even more. So what if you have a gain while you're n holiday? Enjoy yourself! Do your best immediately before and after the holiday and I bet you won't gain as much as you think and it WILL come off again.

Hey ladies 2lb off this week on sw scales. That will do me

Well done angels!!
