The thing to remember is that switching diets will never have that first week in the same way that going from being a non-dieter to a dieter will, so 1lb is fab.<br /><br />It took me a while to fully understand the "meal off" approach with SW, because it seemed like just eating what you want. The reality is - decide what you'll have, calculate the syns, and don't have any more syns than you've said you will. Just be realistic and gentle with yourself. <br /><br />As I said to Claire, SW is the only diet with which I actually know people who have lost significant amounts of weight. That works as a testimony for me.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17423189176827469647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-32501990259113497192011-04-01T10:17:45.405-07:002011-04-01T10:17:45.405-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17423189176827469647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-5989443333559777792011-04-01T09:05:06.562-07:002011-04-01T09:05:06.562-07:00Good for you - a pound loss is fantastic especiall...Good for you - a pound loss is fantastic especially in conjunction with eating out and takeaways!<br /><br />Oh, and am totally with you on the chair covers thing - hate, hate, hate them. I just don't get why anyone would want to cover a chair.<br /><br />SxSerenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08902775858327076421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-89204834210395695692011-04-01T08:45:35.857-07:002011-04-01T08:45:35.857-07:00Stick at it lass!

I never had huge first week losses and got really disheartened while all around me, my friends were losing much faster. But they fell off the wagon, being all or nothing people, they went back to 'nothing'. Now i've lost three stones and they are back at the start. Perserverence. <br /><br />Also - you normally only lose a lot when you start a diet after eating 'normally' - you have been dieting before. So 1lb is very good i think. There's no huge shock to your body because you've been dieting for so long. <br /><br />It's funny. I never saw SW as being a punitive diet, or one that disallowed treats. From doing diets my whole life where everything had to be counted, to moving to a diet where the vast majority of foods were free and unlimited felt like a relief, a total relief. And there are lots of low syn treats, or seemed to be.<br /><br />Agreed on the chair covers. A bizarre means of wringing more money out of brides and grooms.<br /><br />Enjoy that cream tea!clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488607759792842678noreply@blogger.com
