Weigh In Day: Week 1 of 12

As I explained, I am now back on Cambridge Weight Plan and I have been following the SS (Sole source) plan for a week. So its my first week on Cambridge but 10th week as far as weigh ins with my consultant, and since I only put on 1.25lbs since I saw her last I decided to count this week as week 10, but its really week 1. Does that make sense? I hope so! Anyway, down to the nitty gritty of what I lost this week....

-16 & 1/4lbs!

Yep! In one week I managed to lose over 1 stone! 1 stone 2 1/4lbs in fact. I was amazed, as was my consultant but its a great personal achievement and shows what being on slimming world, then 3 days off any diet, then straight on CWP and sticking to it does for your body. I think going from CWP to SW was a mistake for my body, its so high carb based and CWP is so low in carbs I think eating v low carb for 10 weeks then 3 weeks of high carb really contributed to this first week loss. Or week 10, lol!

In total as my pic shows I've now lost 64 1/4lbs and its in only 10 weeks, so im really happy with that. Im really on target for my goal for 3 months, I wanted to lose 4stone in 12 weeks, and Im already 1/4 of the way there. I may even get 5 stone off, who knows. Im prepared for a much smaller loss this week since that loss I had was huge! But onwards and inwards I go, towards my goal!

The Weigh In Day Blues!

Today was my weigh in day and I was very sad to get on the scales and get a 1 pound GAIN :( There's a few factors that are affecting my weight at the moment, primarily being my hormones. Its not star week, but as I have the implant I have random bloating and water retention at any time it decides it could have been star week! So that is the main reason I think but with me changing to a much higher dose of my pain killers - that has added to my water retention too, so I'm pretty sure if I stick to the diet it will show this week and next weeks losses, in theory! So fingers crossed for that, and if it doesn't then I will be so upset and cry a lot!

I was hoping for 2lb loss a week, so that I can get to my goal weight by X-mas this year, so I'm still on track for that as I have a total loss at SW of 4 1/2 lbs so as long as I lose my 2 next week I am still on target. I have to remember that I am human, and I can't expect bloating not to increase my weight. I just want my 'perfect' idea of weight loss to happen every week and since I changed from Cambridge to SW I just thought 2lbs a week was a good goal to aim for. If I end up gaining or staying the same next week I may need to re-think my plans, maybe even get back on the Cambridge bus to get more weight off fast. I just don't know and I got so upset at group earlier, just wanted to go home and cry, but I stayed to the meeting and it did make me feel a tiny bit better.

Slimming World Switch-a-roo Week!

Start BMI: 49.2

Current Weight: 19st 8.5lbs

Current BMI: 40.5

Loss this week: -5 1/2lbs

Total Loss: 58 1/2lbs

First weigh in this morning at my new SW group and I've lost 5 1/2 lbs. Very happy with that with the amount of food I've eaten this week. I went to the later group this week which is a real 'Granny Group' but they love a good recipe and their slow cookers. They seem nice enough. I got a recipe for a 'chocolate cake in a mug' which I will try this week and share on here. 

Goal for this week:

• Stick to plan and within my 10-20 syns a day (I get 5 extra syns as I'm over 17st).
• Eat 1/3 super-free with each meal.
• Lose 2lbs at WI.

Nothing too exciting from me today, tomorrow a new recipe for ham and hashbrown omelette!
