Hi
I joined Slimming World the week before last and only lost 3lb in my first week. As I have about 8 stone to lose, I thought my weight loss would have been bigger. Also, I had bad diarrhoea for about three days of that first week ( I think due to some very acidic kiwis and nectarines!) and thought this too may have led to me having a higher weight loss.
I have done SW in the past (about 12 years ago) and lost weight easily. Then I tried again about 3 years ago and I think lost 1 lb in the first week and the next or may even have maintained in the second week and was really disheartened and left.
Now I'm 3 years older - 54 - and am wondering if it's not going to work for me. I say this because it's two days to weighing in day and I've not lost any weight at all this week as yet.
I'm being very careful - writing everything down, weighing cereals, staying within syn limits and my SW advisor has agreed I'm doing everything correctly.
So, does anybody know of anyone for whom SW has not worked? I've paid for 10 weeks in advance which shows my commitment but I am beginning to feel a little disheartened again - though I'm sticking with the eating plan.
So, does it work for EVERYONE?
Thanks
