Hi Raihana,

if you put up your menu for the day we could take a look at it double check your doing it right? Also are you drinking water and eating fruit n veg? You need to make sure you have both your Hex B's and at least 1 Hex A per day. How many syns are you having each day etc....? i'll have a look for you.

well i dont think i am having enough fruit and veg but went crazy on the potatoes and pasta..which are free. i do have my extras and this week i have had a couple of days where i have had i'd say 10 syns...bad?

Raihana,

Is it SW that you are following? Not that it makes any difference really.
A little exercise (i.e. more than your body is used to) is always good and also going by your signature, you've lost 3 lb?

Well I went. reluctantly. I maintained this week. I'm glad I went because it re-motivated me. I am NOT going to stay at this weight and i am NOT going to put back on the stone that I have lost.
So, apart from meeting some friends for lunch on Wednesday and a family bbq on Sunday I have no reason to go off track. The BBQ should be ok, salads etc, lunch I will use as syns and make up for.

Good Luck to everyone this week

CM - Good Luck for tomorrow :A

10 syns is fine if you suddenly drop down then your body might think you have gone into starvation and start to store fat rather than burn it. Also potatoes are free but in proportion you can't just eat loads of them and still expect to loose weight. Try cut down on this, any chance you could try red days and maybe just 1-2 green days this might help give you a kick start.

The thing I have noticed is you don't seem to have that much to loose so the closer you get to your target the longer and harder it is to loose weight.

You need to try balance the fruit and veg as well as the carbs hun, try fill up on water before your meals and eat slowly it takes about 20 mins approx for the food to settle and tell you your full.

If your having 2 hex A's try having just 1 see how you do.

Hope this helps.

Honey, well done. A maintain is great considering the week you've had. Make yourself a promise now like, if I lose more than 2lbs by this time next week I will treat myself to my favourite chocolate bar or something like that. I find the extra motivation helps a lot.

Sharl, not totally true about the potatoes, I eat great amounts of them daily and do green days all the time and I do lose weight steadily. I take your point about raihana not having much to lose though, it's alwasy harder when you have little to lose. I've only got a few pounds to go and it's taking eons

CM you are lucky then cos I don't think many people could eat lots of potatoes and pasta and still manage to loose weight, also it depends what you do to burn them off you may be more active than others, you may balance it out with fruit veg and water.......

To be honest, I hardly eat any fruit as it bungs me up (if you know what I mean). I HATE water and the only exercise is walking. Surely if green days were that bad then SW wouldn't be as successful as it is?

sharl

Im not saying green days are bad, Im saying that if she is finding that she isn't loosing by doing what she's doing changing it might give her a kick start....

Walking is very good exersise. you can eat either fruit or veg either way low cals and provides water.

Oh I certainly agree with you there, your body does get used to taking on the same things day after day and changing would hopefully alter the metabolism - certainly worth a try
