Well done lora!
I find red/ green days work better for me than ee, I know that carbs don't really agree with me so tend to stick to red. A lot of people in my group have said that a red or green week when your weight loss slows seems to boost it!

Dont get me wrong i love and prefer ee and find it more practical but for weight loss r/g work better for me,. yes they are more restrictive but i guess thats the way to go if you are wanting better weight losses. Im thinking of doing red again this week and then following week creep a couple of ee days in and see how that goes! xx

 

[NickyT75]

ive done 3 red days 2 green & 2 EE this week

feels a bit weird & im not sure if maybe it would be better sticking to 1 for a whole week? but ive enjoyed my meals and havent been bored or hungry

its my WI tomorrow at 7pm so will see how ive done then decide what to try next week xx

 

[ald]

Please can I join? I went to my first meeting on Tuesday night, and will mainly be doing red/green days with the odd ee day. I want to lose a stone by Christmas as a first goal ready for ivf in February time.

Cheers Nicky, love the quotes, I had such a bad night with LO that I ended up adding a freddo to my list as well at 1.30am :sigh: could have been worse, I used to eat 200g bars of chocolate in an evening or 2 or 3 mars/snickers/twirl.

I have been really bloated the last couple of days, at the weekend I had a reasonable flat stomach but now it looks all pregnant again. Any ideas? I usually have bread as my HEB and only eat pasta once or twice a week, potato most the other days. Nothing has changed this week just have a big ol bloaty tum

 

[Bonnie11]

Lightning do you eat rice? I find rice really bloats me

 

[NickyT75]

Bread does it to me hun

I very rarely eat it nowadays & when I do I always feel like a balloon xx

 

[LightningBugs]

I have rice about once a fortnight. Normally I would say bread is the culprit, but I eat much less than I did pre SW and it has only been a problem the last couple of days and I eat bread nearly every day, I'm even getting used to the tiny slices from a 400g loaf and wholemeal and don't feel quite so deprived now.

I forgot that I'd been out on the bike and did 5 miles yesterday, so hopefully it will help minimise the effects of the chocolate cake and evening binge. I had a random thought while I was out that I was carrying as much excess weight on me as my toddler and his bike seat is, so when I'm back to my target weight cycling should be so much easier and if I should ever get the chance to go out without my child I'll be off like a rocket

 

[Bonnie11]

Hi ladies! How are you all doing?
I have had a crap week really, I would have thought I would be really motivated having got my stone award last week but I just can't seem to summon the energy this week... Any words of inspiration??
X

 

[NickyT75]

Hi Bonnie

its hard to get motivated sometimes but I just try to keep focused on my goal as best I can

do you have very much to lose? xx

 

[LightningBugs]

I'd been really good today, apart from an extra slice of bread with my soup, but then had crisps, curly wurly and special k bar totally 15 syns this evening and I'm still peckish.

Does anyone else want to eat more when it is cold?

 

[NickyT75]

I go through phases where im ok sometimes then other times I just can't seem to fill myself no matter how much I eat

Doing quite well at the moment (after 2 days off plan over the weekend) so hoping to still get a loss on thursday

how is everyone else getting on? xx
