Why do I do the same thing and expect different results?

[uglyduck]

Last week, at a horribly low ebb, I signed up for SW online for the gazillionth time, so I had to sign up for three months. I so want to lose weight (I'm enormous) and I was on it!

One week in, followed it religiously and I've lost absolutely nothing. I could cry. I think I'm broken. I used to worry it was my hormonal contraception or my ADs that were stopping me losing weight, but now I think it's just me! Why do I keep throwing money at the same things when I know they don't work?!

I also feel like I've eaten so many calories every day too, despite sticking to plan, and I feel fat and obsessed with thinking what 'on plan' meal I can eat next! And I've signed up for another three months!

I feel like even losing a pound is beyond me . I've just told my DH who said it's only been a week, what do you expect etc. But he's never seen all the people in class losing half a stone on their first week.

Thank you if you read my rant!

I meant to say, I gave up the hormonal contraception and the ADs to try and gain some control! It made no difference

I started sw online in lockdown and I've lost two stone .. I'm down to a normal weight now so wasn't massively overweight.. I have thyroid disease and find losing weight very difficult so it's doable .. things that helped me are drinking loads of water and no sweetners and black coffee .. I also only eat two meals a day and eat between the window of 12-7 .. keep going!! 💪🏻💪🏻

Thank you for replying! You've done fantastically! I wish I'd started more seriously at the start of lockdown.

But no weight loss at all in the first week! I think from what you've said about two meals a day, perhaps I'm overeating even though I'm sticking to plan.

I think what's so disheartening is that I thought it was the motivation to do it that was the problem, but now I've committed to doing it, it doesn't seem to be working.

I think SW can work but I think the framework of it allows people to cheat really easily.
What sort of thing are you eating on an average days
