I had my first weigh in today but did not stay because I only lost 0.5lb and I was feeling very disheartened. I couldn't stop to talk to anyone because I was about ready to cry.
I do Green Days because I do not like meat. I have followed the diet religiously, apart from once or twice I forgot to eat a second healthy B because I was full from all the free foods. I have had a maximum of 4.5 syns for the whole WEEK, so that my weight loss would be kick started. SS fruits are difficult for me to eat as they cause me pain (allergies caused by chronic illness), but I have been having a few mixed berries with yoghurt each day. I eat other SS foods like baked beans. I eat some quorn each day. I tend to have one portion each of pasta and potatoes a day, unless I am feeling really hungry then I will have a third.
Despite it saying that we can eat as huge a portion of these as we like, I shall reduce them. I have trouble drinking enough, I often get dehydrated. I shall however try and get this up to one litre a day to try and stop water retention. My mum told me on the phone that the last time I followed a slimming club diet, 10 years ago, I didn't lose until the second week and that my sister is the same. I don't drink alcohol so don't have that to cut out.
This has been the week before my period too (take the last pill today), and I heard that this can cause a problem with weight loss? I have recently been diagnosed with poly cystic ovaries and insulin resistantance. The doctor said that these may make losing weight harder, but before I knew I had these I lost 4 stone, a hard bout of depression put 3 of them back on.
Anyway, I just wanted to see if you could advise anything. I have had other friends on the diet tell me that I will lose weight faster by actually eating Syns? Seems daft!
Thanks all, and hello!
