However, a loss is a loss is a loss. And it's supposed to be long term, not a race to the finish line so that's what I try tell myself.
I would consider 2.5lb to 3.5lb a good loss considering after the first few weeks most practices (diets etc) say 1 to 2lb a week is healthy and normal.
I too have been disappointed although I have been losing 1/2 a pound and 1lb when I've been having perfect weeks and I have over 8 stone to lose.
I too just try to keep drumming it into me that this is a lifestyle change and I'll get to my target whenever I get to it, but either way I'll be eating the SW way for good

That's it. You aren't going to get there in a matter of weeks. The way i see it is that i am over weight most of my life and that is years, not weeks or months, so its going to take time to get it off.
Slow and steady wins the race and its much easier to maintain it that way and still enjoy your life at the same time and fit it around your life.0 -
Down 2lbs this week and finally got my stone and a half award which I've been skirting around for the past few weeks.
I was delighted with a 2lb loss and I would consider that a good (if not great!) loss for a week. 1lbs-2lbs losses a week are more sustainable and healthier for your body in the long run. Don't be disappointed. As long as the weight is going down on the scales, you're moving in the right direction.0 -

Ignore them, they are the people that will give up in the short term, where as if you keep tipping away a lb here a lb there, you ll stick to it, and probable enjoy it.
Ive had big weeks where ive lost 3lbs (and i do class that as big as they say 1-2lbs per week for a healthy loss) and ive also had weeks where ive lost 1lb, and yes that did get me down but as said above a loss is a loss.
The more i do SW the more i enjoy it, i have already planned in my head that when i get to my goal im going to have a wkend of yummy food hahaa, although when i think about it long enough im like hmm do i want it.
Thats when I know this is really working for me, as my mind set has changed.
Stick with it, you are doing amazing 0 -

But also high in sugar! A 1/2 cup of tomato puree has 30% more potassium thank a standard banana so I wouldn't let that deter you I'm a bit anti-banana since I partly blame them for my 5-week-2lb-loss. Not speed not interested :pac: :pac: :pac: 0 -

Oh I know they're good, it's pure curiosity really - I heard a customer in the shop where I work telling her friend she lost 4 pounds in a week and the only change she made was to stop eating bananas, but with no background for all I know she was eating 20 of them per day

Lol! She might have been!
Bananas are high in sugar but so are apples, pears etc. And no-one is going to eat a half cup of tomato puree to get their potassium intake for a day. As long as you have a balanced diet overall, a banana in the morning is not going to do a whole lot of harm.0 -

Oh my god! How did I not know purple snacks were only 5 syns?!?! Literally the best news I've heard all day! I'm doing 3 sp days this week and I'm dying for a bit of indulgence! Just wondering would I be right in thinking that half an Easter egg would be less than 15 syns? I think a huge mug of tea and half an Easter egg would be pure bliss tonight!
It's all about the purple snacks! I have them hidden all over the kitchen so the OH doesn't eat them on me.. more precious than hifi bars
I got a 100g egg (it came with one Mars bar) and counted it as 13.5 syns for a half egg based on the info on the box!0 -

Lol I stocked up a few weeks back when they were reduced in Dunnes!
Oh that works out at more or less the same as what we were told in group for the Easter eggs. I somehow managed to avoid the chocolate this Easter (except for a load of mini eggs one night) (oh and some cream cake for my Mom's birthday which was also on Easter Sunday) and I was down 2lbs this week!!0 -
