Lose Weight 6

consultant31

Connected, although I don't normally work in calories (though I know it comes down to that in the end) I make full use of the free food lists at SW. These include unlimited amounts of pasta, potatoes etc on Green days and unlimited meat and fish on Original days. I would most certainly say that a
man of your age and height is not consuming enough calories at 1300. You should be having around 2000 in order to lose weight healthily (women should have around 1500).
If I were you I would eat more carbs, if you like them, or more meat - real meat, not the Bernard Matthews wafer-thin stuff.
What you say is right - if your body thinks you're not getting enough food, it will go into starvation mode and hang grimly onto each and every calorie.

Wow it looks like SW is upping the anti a bit - i.e. getting a bit stricter. Thanks for the clarrification.
I think I am doing ok this week (syning a little bit too much on the wine but discovered J&B and diet coke yeterday - lovely and summary with a slice of orange). Weigh in on thursday - fingers crossed.

I hope everyone else is doing well.

Hi! Well done on all the weight losses! I have done my 1st "official" weekly weigh in and lost 3lbs! Well chuffed, esp as had quite a few syns on my weekend away! Hopefully I will have another good week this week!

Cats Pajamas - what is J&B??!! Only thing i could think of was Jim Beam but its probably something really obvious!!!

p.s. I'm puzzling over J&B too - whisky maybe?

:beer: the J&B is indeed whisky but it doesn't taste strong like I imagined whisky would taste. I think the slice of orange is the key - adds healthy fruit into the mix...:rotfl:

PS It stands for Justerini & Brooks according to google

Hi Sali_ Mali, welcome on board.

I'm a RC dieter who doesn't go to class and who has the odd few days doing SW whe she feels bored. Know I should stick with one or other but still better than going for chips or chocolate when bored.

Hi all!
Well done Ems! Welcome Sali_Mali and any other new comers! I love this board, ti is great for support and for ideas!
Have had my weigh in and despite a foodie night out and craving all the bad things at Alton Towers, lost 2lbs! Am very pleased and now only 3 lbs to go until OK weight (it's a moving target!) and 7lbs to go until happy smiley weight!
Have a great week!
