I was weighed yesterday and all I lost was 1 1/2 lbs :cry:
I stuck to the extra easy plan and hardly had any syns and too be honest was hoping for a much bigger loss for my 1st week.
I did start my period today and my mates have said thats the reason it was such a poor loss. Is this true cos I suspect they would say this just to make me feel better??????

Yes, it could definitely be a factor. I find I can weigh bout 3lbs heavier just before my period. Stick with it and hopefully it'll show next weigh in. Good luck

You seem very motivated - so keep going and the weight will come off. Your period can definately make a difference. In the past I have put on 5 lb just before my period - so stick to your guns and don't worry.

I agree about using some syns. From the people I see at class it seems to be those that dont use many syns or none at all who are struggling to use weight and those that are having around 10 a day are having good losses.

I think there is such a thing as being to strict

You dont have to have syns on chocolate etc try having some mayo, sauce, tom puree, gravy on your dinner or some bread.

On the other hand 1 1/2 lbs is a good loss dont be to hard on yourself.

Too start with I didn't use many syns (2-4 per day) and lost 2lbs at my first weigh in. On * week I gained, even though I'd stuck to plan. The week after * week I lost 7lbs lol

don't be disheartened, I stayed the same at my first weigh in! and then 2nd weigh in lost 4.5lbs! it'll happen, sometimes takes a bit longer than a week for your body to adjust and show you the results!
